"I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected." -- Donald J Trump, May 30, 2019

It is illegal for foreign nationals or governments to help people get elected.

Trump approves sending more forces to the Middle East amid tensions with Iran

Trump's projection tells us more about him than it does about those he's accusing:

"In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran." - Donald Trump, 1:48 PM - Nov 29, 2011

"Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate." - Donald Trump, 3:39 PM - Oct 9, 2012

"I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!" - Donald Trump, 2:23 PM - 16 Sep 2013

I called the nursing home where I and my father had visited my aunt a year ago, to ask if she was still there and how she was doing. They would tell me nothing. Claimed that HIPAA forbade that. But HIPAA says no such thing. They are wrong. I called back and tried to inform them that by HIPAA rules, it was okay to answer. They were rude. Tried to hog the floor, and when I would not go along with that, talked over me, then hung up. I called again.

They changed their story, said the privacy requirement was actually in the contract with their residents. Proudly claimed that they take their privacy seriously. I began to wonder if they were covering up something. I called the police and asked them to do a welfare check. The police did so, and told me my aunt was still there and seemed to be okay.

あなたが理解していないという理由だけで、これはそれが重要ではないという意味ではありません。

And to repeat:
Ακριβώς επειδή δεν καταλαβαίνετε, αυτό δεν σημαίνει ότι δεν είναι σημαντικό.

SN eds are monolingual morons, except for mrpg, who groks the espanol, and pico français.

And the expat speaks!

We're sorry, your submission "Anti-Semitism doesn’t happen in a vacuum | (Revised, for your consideration)" was declined for the following reason:
You say that we are destroying this site - it is YOU and the drivel that you write that is achieving that. Advocating violence - even when you claim that you are not doing so - has no place on this site.--JR

The editors felt it inappropriate for them to correct the issue themselves. Please feel free to correct the issue yourself and resubmit.

So now resubmission is violence? Good to know. Venez voir la violence inhérente au système! Je suis en train d'être réprimé! C'est ce dont je parle!

So sad, Brits having to retire in France just to get health insurance, and they don't even bother to speak the langue! Mon dieu!

Update (not really)
Cheers to Eds! Five submissions in less than an hour, and all rejected within the same hour, lest any Soylents might chance to see them in the queue. I guess I should post all of them here, but I let stand the exquisite censorship of the Editors of SoylentNews, who will have to live with the reputation that follows them accross the infinite expanse of internet time, which, mind you, is only just beginning.

And now, at the end, you realize the true power of the dark side, the side of truth, the side of philosophers, the side of actual people and not confabulated "rational maximizers" of something they know not what.
I submitted, per request, a Russian sub, as mrpg asked for, and it was rejected as well. Bad enough that subs in French, German, Norsk, Greek, Hollandaise, and Romanian get rejected. Could not one American have enough education to read a sub in Spanish? Or Canadian? Oh, the illiteral horror!
Original Ruski Sub here.
This will come back to stick Americans up their backsides.
Already nationals of any nation can make fun of US Americans without their having any idea they are talking about locos americanos or Américains fous, or сумасшедшие американцы.

Trump administration prepares to release Central American migrants 'across the entire nation'

The Trump administration is preparing to send Central American migrants caught along the southern border to Border Patrol stations "across the entire nation," according to a senior Border Patrol official who confirmed the plans Friday.

With more than 4,500 people being caught each day crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, the agency has run out of room at its Border Patrol facilities in the four border states. The agency has started looking at its facilities around the country, which are mostly along the northern border with Canada and coastal states.

That means states from Oregon to North Dakota to Maine may begin receiving planeloads of migrant families in the weeks to come. On Tuesday, Customs and Border Protection sent its first plane full of migrants from Texas to San Diego.

Hey! Going to limit to friends and friends of friends, just to see what happens. No Runaway posts, I take it. But here is the deal. Softball submission, about dogs, which janrinok more or less requested. And, of course, rejected. I despair that we Soylentils may have a rational discussion on the issues of the day, if even dog posts are banned, censored, and deep-sixed by the editors. I begin to suspect chromas, who may be a beard for Ncommander, our founder and alt-right syncophant? Perhaps. Maybe the game has been rigged from the beginning.

Or, the editors are all cat-people. We could have had This fine Submission about a dog sucked into the alt-right. But, rejected without comment, message, and not even left in the queue for more than a couple hours. Censorship, of dogs! This aggression will not stand, man! Peed on my rug.
