"...we must immediately...bring them back from where they came."

I'd give this writer a D on clumsy phrasing alone, i.e. "from where they came"

But as any fifth grade student would tell him, you don't "bring" someone somewhere else; you "take" them.

Follow the example of most immigrants, Shithead: LEARN THE LANGUAGE!

I taught "give" and "take" so much I overlooked the obvious.

Thanks for the heads up!

Anybody see Woody Allen's botched bank robbery note in "Take the Money and Run?"

but even that doesn't make the sentence sound quite right, much less good writing. Especially from the smartest president ever!

I've forgotten the band robbery note. My mind is full of great Woody Allen stuff, but that one escapes me for the moment. I could blame some "remembers" on age. Or maybe Obama*...

*Surely I don't need this, but here it is:

##From TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN:


##Allen (a bank robber), walks up to the teller and hands her a note that reads. "I have a gun. Give me all your cash."


##The teller, however, is puzzled, because he reads "I have a gub." "No, it's gun", Allen says.


##"Looks like 'gub' to me," the teller says, then asks another teller to help him read the note, then another, and finally everyone is arguing over what the note means.


##Allen does not succeed in robbing the bank because he is the only one who defines the situation as a robbery.

Now I remember. I chuckled quite awhile when I read that.

I love Woody Allen, especially Radio Days which makes me weep every time.

Oddly enough, I couldn't resonate with Bananas, and never have figured out why...

Actually, on second thought, he did say he was for "taking the guns first and doing due process later" after one of the mass shootings happened (I already forgot which one, there have been so many). Pretty sure that was about one of those mentally ill white people (therefore not a terrorist) who had lots of legal guns and shot somebody with them. Of course, if you do it later, it's not due process at all but naturally Trump doesn't understand that.

Plus, he doesn't seem too keen on going through due process himself. He pays settlements to shut people up, and insults judges who rule against him, and threatens the FBI and DOJ for investigating him.

Clearly, he doesn't like the idea of due process for anybody.

there are 6 words that relieve him of having to do anything correctly:

'to the best of my ability'

And he has ZERO ability.

Trump does not attribute any substance or intrinsic value to words.
They don't contain any meaning in themselves.
They are just a gimmick for him to manipulate and get what he wants and can be changed on a whim at will.

So the concept that an oath would bind him to anything is laughable.
