I bet you trmp will get one hell of a blast "welcome" when he gets back--or maybe he will ask Putin for asylum, or maybe they will get married.

Quote of the day. from CNN--drowing deaths at border.
US presidential candidates blamed the deaths on the
administration.
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris called the
situation "inhumane."
"These families seeking asylum are often fleeing
extreme violence," she tweeted. "And what happens
when they arrive? Trump says, 'Go back to where you came from.' That is
inhumane. Children are dying. This is a stain on our moral conscience."
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke said
"Trump is responsible for these deaths."
"As his administration refuses to follow our laws --
preventing refugees from presenting themselves for asylum at our ports of entry
-- they cause families to cross between ports, ensuring greater suffering &
death. At the expense of our humanity, not to the benefit of our safety,"
he said on Twitter.

What to do if ICE knocks on your door.
You will need a Twitter acct to see this.
They may say they are police or looking for someone.
Don't open the door, don't say anything, don't sign anything, let them pass it under the door.
Contact
your lawyer or ACLU. Take photos of whatever document they shove under
door. It's supposed to be for illegal aliens only, but legal aliens
and even citizens may get harassed, even though T said he won't go ahead
with mass arrests as he planned tomorrow (Sunday).

1954
Burma Translation Society
The Burma
Translation Society governing council in 1954 including many of the leading
writers of the time. Standing (from l to r): U San Htwa, U Ba, U Khin Zaw, U
Myo Min, U Thein Han, U Kaung, U Wun, U Thant Sitting (from l to r): Dr Htin
Aung, Education Minister U Than Aung, retired Supreme Court Chief Justice Sir
Mya Bu, Prime Minister U Nu, Finanace Minister U Tin, Supreme Court Justice U E
Maung, U Cho. The semi-official Society's main mission was to make outside
knowledge available to the Burmese people. In 1954 they had just published the
first volume of the "Encyclopedia Burmanica"; when the book first
arrived by ship at the Brooking Street wharf, U Nu and most of the cabinet were
there to greet the ship. U Nu believed that the country was suffering from an "ever
increasing number of ignoramuses and Mr Zeros" and that only the spread of
knowledge and education could make possible genuine development.
