specially for you.

Critics on the left have blasted Beristain for not taking the president’s rhetoric seriously and allowing his administration to plunge the country into what they consider a chaotic and inhumane immigration debacle. Critics on the right have inundated the family with racist threats and attacked Beristain for giving refuge to the love of her life, a man they consider a foreign interloper.

Caught in the middle of the fiery political clash are people like Roberto Beristain — people who have built a successful life inside the confines of the fuzzy legal limbo in which they exist. Supporters say the 43-year-old has never broken the law and doesn’t have so much as a parking ticket on his record. The mayor of South Bend, Ind., the conservative community that the Beristains call home, called him “one of its model residents.”

Despite the chaos and the growing credibility gap, Trump is systematically succeeding in his quest to “deconstruct the administrative state,” as his chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon puts it. He’s pursued the most aggressive regulatory rollback since Ronald Reagan, especially on environmental issues, with a series of bills and executive orders. He’s placed devoted ideologues into perches from which they can stop aggressively enforcing laws that conservatives don’t like. By not filling certain posts, he’s ensuring that certain government functions will simply not be performed. His budget proposal spotlighted his desire to make as much of the federal bureaucracy as possible wither on the vine.

They're often nice if you meet them in the street, even when you don't buy their paper. But I never want to sit in a meeting with them.

Ask them why the EU doesn't stop Denmark having full employment next time you see them.

Belarus: thousands take to the streets to protest law against the unemployed
The law against “social parasites” is designed to punish those who fail to find work within 183 days. The unemployed will be charged with a substantial €210 fine, that is, in a country with an average monthly wage in the region of €300. Officially, unemployment in Belarus is below 1%.

The program Horizon 2020, that covers all EU funds for research and innovation. UK is the main beneficiary. More so than Germany, which is the main contributor to the budget. And deservedly so, given the quality of research in the UK. It is hard to calculate the hole that UK will leave in the common budget upon quitting.

Has everyone got such short memories out there? There are lost of really sensible commentators with integrity and values who are speaking up for the EU. Then liar, traitor Clegg pops up on Dimbleby and everyone sodding agrees with him.

I'm cross
