Ted Lieu Retweeted Donald J. Trump
Dear @realDonaldTrump: I will support merit based immigration based on the same standards that allowed your grandfather, who started off poor & as a barber, to immigrate to America as an unaccompanied minor.

1. Ted Lieu is a very smart man.

And he knows exactly where tRump's vulnerabilities lie.

He won't hesitate to exploit them.

This is such an example.

5. My wish: To have Ted Lieu succeed Eva Braun Nielsen as Secretary of DHS

Not only does he know the subject matter like the back of his hand, I know he'd order an investigation of her tenure for its ongoing abuses and corruption - both of which are reaching Nazi proportions.

Too much to ask?

6. You actually gave me a tinge of hope!

All the more reason to fight this monster and his appointed degenerate minions!

14. Knock wood!

­¡Ojalá!, as our friends South of the Border say.

4. His grandfather was a draft dodger and that is why he left Germany

when he was young, in the middle of the night, leaving a note to his mother. When he tried to go back many years later he found that Germany had kept his military records and wouldn't let him back into his country of origin. That is from wikipedia.

8. That and much, much more is in a Netflix documentary

about Trump’s grandfather and father:

Meet the Trump’s: From Immigrant to President

There are more documentaries about Trump. And now there’s a book on Being a Trump about his children. I’m going to read it. Evidently they are typical of offspring of Narcissists.

10. Is that the one called "The tRumps"

that I have been seeing on cable news all week? It has a yellow cover. Of course they are all like him. Barron will be too. Narcissistic sociopaths...all of them have proven it to be true, including Jared. She married someone just like dear ol' dad.

12. The title is Born Trump, Inside Americans First Family

By Emily Jane Fox. I’ve seen her on MSNBC as a commentator, and she was on this week promoting the book. The questions she answered indicated this was not a fluff piece. I think the cover is gold, to go with Trump’s favorite color. It was one of the comments in the show.

Amazon sells it for $16.79. I won’t purchase it until I read the reviews. So far it has a 3 star rating with 23 reviews on Amazon.

13. Yes, that is the book and author. It looks interesting.

You'll have to let us know if you read it.

11. That was true of most of the German immigrants of the 19th century

There was no country called Germany - it was a patchwork quilt of little principalities and baronies that all had constant wars against one another. All the young men were expected to fight and die for the monarchs, their only choice was to leave before they turned 18. Many of them did - they came to America if they could afford it.

Americans who have any German ancestry at all (many of us do) probably have such a story among their great-grandfathers or further back. I know I do. We can't hold it against Trump that his grandfather did the same thing.

7. none of these logical and realistic arguments mean shit to Trump's deplorables

Trump has found the perfect scape goat and that sets up rationale for genocide:

They're poor, they're often just helpless women and children, they're vulnerable, they're brown. They're powerless, they can't fight back, they have no rights (in Trump's eyes),

perfect set-up for genocide to satisfy the self-righteous, especially as they suffered so terribly because Obama was a lib and black.

9. Which is why it's so important to get photos and videos

As long as they are only words on paper the impact is zero.

I’m not even considering the Deplorables when I say this. They’re too far gone to save.

15. trump doesn't give a shit. fear and hate, that's his game

fuck that make america great shit.

Ted Lieu is a hero!!!!!

16. I halfway want -hope he will say something about Melania--you know our FLOTUS who

was suppose to give some sort of press conference on her immigration story.

Then again--he would get in deep poop with trump.
