Recall DAPA, based on the same questionable view of Presidential powers relating to immigration as DACA, had already been shot down in the courts, and Trump faced a deadline from about a dozen states that promised to challenge DACA the same way they just challenged DACA and won.
Remember also that Trump pre-emptively declares DACA ended some number of months later (6 months?), and PLEADED with Congress to come up with a constitutional response to DACA in those 6(?) months.
Congresses failure to address a crisis created by the previous administration is not only the fault of the President's.
Trump offered 1.8M so-called "Dreamers" paths to legal status last year in the state of the union address, we'll after he announced the end of DACA - all DACA offered was 4 years of possibly renewable protection from deportation for $429 in fees...
Trump offered a solution, Democrats wanted their unconstitutional protection racket reinstated.
DACA recipients aren't Americans - that's kinda the point/problem.
There are 800K that we're enrolled in DACA, Trump admin offered 1.7M protections, Dems refused to take the win because, we'll, because I can't remember why, but I'm sure it had mainly to do with Trump's name being on the offer.
Cory Booker announced today he's running for president in 2020... I point this out only because pundits are saying he's already late to join the race. Late to join the race? It's two years OUT!
Is it 'fair' for some services to pay ISPs to collocate server racks/containers in head offices?
Seems to me the services are getting preferential treatment if allowed to do this, giving their customers superior service in exchange for the service paying the ISP.
Are we going to now see gaming the system right under the TRump administrations nose?
Right, because the H-1B visa system was never famed under previous administrations.
The fact that an advanced degree isn't comparable to the same advanced degree from a domestic university isn't really important. The quality of domestic degrees are not comparable between domestic universities, and passing college classes by rote memorization isn't a phenomenon unique to foreign students exclusively.
We need to start accepting the good enough. Better to be seen by an OK doctor right away rather than be seen by the best doctor in 6 months
Do you know what they call the student at the bottom of the class in medical school? Doctor.
I am not aware of this being an actual alternative for anyone, most people have access to exactly one doctor, the one that is close to their house and accepts their insurance...
"Unskilled worker" in this context means anyone that hasn't gone to medical school.
As for the Democrat plan in the US to "outlaw" private healthcare so everyone has equal access to substandard care is a non-starter. Supporters argue that they have finally figured out a way to provide quality healthcare for all at an affordable price in a timely manner, but they can't explain why no other socialized medical care plan on the planet has achieved that goal. Every time you point to a fundamental flaw they claim "well, we will make sure that doesn't happen, but when you ask how, all you get is crickets...
It's a grand idea, but medical care is expensive in terms of manpower and resources, and expanding access does not reduce the need for either.
AOC actually claimed that the US would save money on funerals with improved access to healthcare... Apparently, in her mind people with universal healthcare coverage are immortal, since they won't have a funeral. (Delaying a funeral isn't a savings, it's a deferral - nothing more.)
with most deaths in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The death toll is highest among children under the age of 5. The researchers, from Johns Hopkins University, designed a smart stethoscope for use by unskilled workers in noisy medical clinics.
Did anyone consider the possibility of simply examining children in quiet rooms before they decided to throw a few million dollars in research funds for a ten thousand dollar "pneumonia detector" to be deployed in some of the most impoverished locations in the world? I bet the local practitioners could think of better uses for thousands of dollars than a battery-operated tool to replace a $5 stethoscope... like vaccines, a refrigerator, etc...
About 6 onths ago I "downgraded" from my third iPhone 6 Plus that froze and had serious digitizer issues. The way I got my iPhone SE was by buying it from Best Buy as an AT&T GoPhone device, $149.95 plus tax out the door. I worked with AT&T to move this device to my account, and I haven't looked back.
For the first 4-6 weeks, my brain kept noticing how small the phone was, but as I got used to having it fit so well in my pocket I stopped noticing it.
When I put my phone on the table at restaurants, friends do comment on how small my phone is...
As for function, it suits my basic needs, I just wish it had more storage - I keep a lot of pictures, PDFs on my phone.
Yeah, he said little white lies like "If you like your doctor, you can keep them" and "PPACA (Obamacare) won't add one thin dime to the national debt".
Kavanaugh was investigated before every promotion/new position he ever took, including his seat on the DC District Court, once he was nominated the DOJ and Senate dug in again. After they concluded their investigation, a woman came forward from California with some fantastical claims, and then everyone had only a few days (you say 4 days, that sounds right) to investigate the very specific claims against Kavanaugh.
You don't get to be a District Court Judge without your background being fully investigated by the FBI.
As for Hillary, she and her husband repeatedly danced around the edge of seemingly illegal activities - Republicans didn't just "make stuff up" to harass her. She DID use a private email server, she did delete emails that were subpoenaed, she did miraculously invest $1,000 in commodities and made $100,000, in her first and only investment, her subpoenaed Rose Law Firm records disappeared/couldn't be found, then months later, the box of billing records suddenly "appeared" (as if by magic), on a table in the White House Residence, etc.
This current scandal is when a foreign state (Russia) offered to hack the DNC to steal documents and communications in order to assist the Trump campaign. (make no mistake, this is fucking illegal. Treasonous when a foreign state gets involved.)
Why would the Russians "offer" to hack the DNC? Why would they seek approval from anyone, let alone the Trump Campaign?
I've seen no evidence to date that there was actual communication/coordination between Trump Campaign and "Russians/WikiLeaks", instead, I see a lot of after-the-fact requests from the campaign to WikiLeaks to find out what the Russians/WikiLeaks have on the Democrats... You know, kinda like every journalist covering this story at the time did.
Muller already has enough evidence to go to the top
You convinced yourself that Mueller has something he's never said he has, and your proof is that no one on Mueller's staff has leaked that they have evidence of a crime committed by a sitting President while a candidate.
Serious question - if a prosecutor, for example Mueller, has solid evidence the President had committed a serious crime, a crime where a conviction could result in jail time, how long can the prosecutor stand by and do nothing with that information? IANAL but I contend that if Mueller had solid, actual evidence of real crimes committed by the sitting President, he would not sit on it for (up to) two years or more before referring it to a prosecutor.
As I understand it, all Stone did was reach out to Wikileaks to see what else they had from the DNC, just like every journalist covering the story did at the time.
There is not, as I understand it, evidence Stone knew anything more than what Wikileaks made private and he only knew it after WikiLeaks made it public.
He's accused of trying to find out what Wikileaks had - just like everyone else did at the time - is that really a crime?
The president of the United States publicly threatened someone's father in law and it barely made the news.
And the threat was... what was the threat? President Trump simply directed attention to Cohen's father-in-law with a spotty history that includes loaning millions of dollars to a taxi cab medallion holder in Chicago, the same individual was also named in the warrant used to toss Cohen's home, office, and apartment.
The point is, without the investigation there would be no crime. The only reason the crime occurred was because of the investigation. At least some have been historical charges unrelated to the trump campaign, russia, etc... Like manaforts 10 year old money laundering charge.

Which party can understand net neutrality, at least well enough to actually stand in front of a camera and educate their community?

Congress couldn't pass NN, so Obama did it through regulations. Trump took office and repealed many of those regulations.
Democrats May control the house, but republicans hold senate, Oval Office - good luck getting a veto-proof majority in both houses of congress!
It's a senate bill, Dems are the minority there, good luck getting it up for a vote.
It's just a Dem Senator wanting to see his name in the paper.

Buy the AT&T GoPhone version for $150 (if on the AT&T network) and it's only $150, or at least it was 6 months ago when I got mine.

Obama raked in 2 per year
Yeah, he said little white lies like "If you like your doctor, you can keep them" and "PPACA (Obamacare) won't add one thin dime to the national debt".
Trump lied about what, crowd sizes?
Trump can't pardon him until he's actually convicted of something.
Somehow President Ford managed to pardon former President Nixon before was even charged with a crime, let alone convicted.
You can not commute someone's sentence until they've been convicted and sentenced, perhaps you've confused the two?
For example, Bush'43 commuted Scooter Libby's sentence before he spent 30 months in jail.

By comparison, Kavanaugh drank beer in college.
Says the 4-digit UID.
What exactly does that have to do with my question?
no Democrats under investigation.
Which is it, is Hillary not a Democrat, or was she not investigated?

Give it time, innocent people usually don't lie to investigators ;-)
When Democrats lie they "misspeak", if they're really important/influential, they simply refuse to testify under oath.
