You Cannot Apply for Asylum at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate
Asylum is a form of legal protection available to certain people who cannot or would not feel safe if they tried to live in their home country, because of past persecution or the danger of future persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
Unfortunately, U.S. embassies and consulates cannot process requests for this form of protection because, under U.S. law, asylum seekers can apply only if they are physically present in the United States (or at least at a U.S. border or other point of entry).
There is a common misconception that U.S. embassies and consulates are basically the same as U.S. soil. It is true that international law protects national embassies and consulates from being destroyed, entered, or searched (without permission) by the government of the country where they are located (the host country). However, this does not give those embassies or consulates the full status of being part of their home nation’s territory. Therefore, U.S. law does not consider asylum seekers at U.S. embassies and consulates to be “physically present in the United States†(or at a U.S. border or point of entry).
Therefore, people seeking asylum have to reach American soil. I'm assuming this is the argument here.

OCTOBER SURPRISE: GOP Wants New SUPREME COURT JUSTICE Ahead of Midterms
And, thanks to this creampuff Democratic party, they'll get it.
Dems should drag their feet on the SCOTUS confirmation until 2021. Republicans would if they didn't have the white house.

By definition, a tax cut DECREASES the amount of money in the treasury, creating a need for government downsizing.
Either this fucking rug salesman who backed into the white house has no idea what he's talking about, or he knows his supporters don't and he's taking advantage of it.

This is why Donald Trump is a genius.
What do people & corporations do when they have extra money, people spend it and corporations invest it.
More goods are sold & taxed , more people get hired creating more income for the gov't.

Uber is not a job. It's a desperate form of servitude. It's a notch below Wal-Mart.

Trickle down economics is a time tested failure.
Trump said more money is going to the treasury now that he's cut taxes. This man is insane.

Near the end of this discussion, the beginning of the SCOTUS partisan battleground, originating with Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy, according to Joe Scarborough
That is why he is the genius. $$$$$$$$$ Money makes money.
You won't see any of it.

Trump gets prank called by Stuttering John, formerly of the Howard Stern show. Thinks John is Sen. Bob Menendez. What a fucking idiot.

Fact Check: ‘Girl from the Bronx’ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Grew Up in One of Richest U.S. Counties.
That is some rich socialist portraying to be a working girl from the Bronx.
Trump's from shithole Queens and pretends he's from Manhattan. Worked for him.
