US Politics

[Spiderman]

It's a bit of a stretch to go from not liking a President's immigration policy to genocide.

ICE are not doing anything they didn't do under Obama and Clinton. The difference is that Trump is in people's faces about it and he has deliberately targeted so called Sanctuary cities run by the Democrats.

The local police are prevented often by law in assisting ICE so Trump swamps the area with federal employees which brings out the protestors and then we have controversial shootings.

If the local police were allowed to support ICE you could reduce the number of agents and hopefully do their job in a much less provocative way.

Personally I find it crazy that states are allowed to pass laws that stop police assisting federal authorities, that employers and landlords are not allowed to ask a person about their immigration status and generally run opposite to the laws as passed by the US congress.

Imagine Khan announcing that London was a sanctuary city and that the Met would no longer enquire about immigration status etc.

I suspect in many cases, they dont

Donald Trump eyes £116m investment in Cornish tin mine as China trade war heats up

The US President is attempting to make the West less reliant on China when it comes to critical minerals

Looks like Greenland and Canada will have to wait after all. Trump has his sights set on Cornwall 🤭🤭🤭

Looks like a good investment opportunity anyway....

There was a solid reason for its closure and several attempts to reopen it. It’s a deep mine whereas the ones in China and SE Asia are open cast and cheaper to operate. Building a strategic resource for ourselves makes some sense but whilst we can it will still be cheaper to buy on the open market. Doing it for the USA whilst Trump, or his like, are in the WH, makes no sense at all.

I have met one of the last miners to work there. The conditions and the outdated methods sound horrendous. It would take a lot of investment to bring up to date.

Trump investing in Cornwall 😳 if that doesn’t tip someone over the edge, nothing will 😂

With any luck the mine shaft maybe in Truro.

No mining in Truro itself, but there are some mines not far away. There is a capped shaft in the garden of my rental property. Will that do?

Why not? Charge him a few million and he'll think it must be a winner. Especially if the geologists tell him it's empty.
