Discussion: Melania Trump Makes Surprise Visit To US-Mexico Border

Some of the girls are in NYC per report on Maddow. Others across14 states. 3 places in tx are looking after toddlers and babies but nowhere is media being admitted. Images are from concerned employees who are risking much.
I am so goddam angry i can barely type.

When in doubt I always opt for being deliberately abstruse. That way you know people will talk about you when you leave the room.

Silly stevie - we don’t talk about you when you aren’t here. We mostly do it to your face and then forget about it.

:joy:

The messaging was ALL planned ahead of time. That was the giant dogwhistle wink wink to the base that this is all just fakery for the cameras to make the “stupid leftists” and minorities STFU. Heck, it’s not even a dogwhistle. More like a trombone.

So she was intentionally sent to a facility that was not an abandoned wall mart divided by chain link fencing? What blatant propaganda this shallow woman is participating in for the sake of being see doing something. “It’s great” that kids are only held in these for profit prisons for 42 days? That’s fucking illegal even if it is in a set up Potemkin village. Governor Cuomo says the hundreds of young kids being shipped north to New York cannot even be treated medically or mentally in the state run orphanages under orders from the dotard administration. Go to one of those facilities Mel and oh by the way show us your fucking papers.

But her outfit was the nicest. The best ever. No other First Lady has ever worn such a nice outfit. It’s important to Be Best.

You aren’t the only one. Just saw an interview with a mom who got her son back after about 80 days. She is, of course, relieved and happy now. However, she said he’s been home awhile and is still traumatized - not allowing her out of his sight (for even a 5-minute errand) without starting to scream. These are poor people too, so it’s unlikely they can afford professional help for their kids. Multiply this by thousands and I am also “goddam angry.”

I would wage that most if not all of the kids in this set up facility are unaccompanied minors and not the ones ripped away from their mothers and fathers.

They are off being abused. This week is the adolescent boys’ turn to get cleaned up and pretend they are happy for “visitors”.

Melania’s advice, "Hey, the way you do this is to be pretty, model soft porn and marry a rich asshole - then bring you family over." Be Best!

They are - Dick Durbin confirmed that all of the kids in the facility Melania toured were older and came across the border as unaccompanied minors. She did not encounter even one child who had been separated from parents.

Fair enough. I just have very low expectations for her. She avoids appearing in public like the plague and can barely speak English. Policy and social issues are way, way outside her wheelhouse. She doesn’t have the education, confidence and strength that we’re used to seeing in a First Lady. She’s not a Michelle, Hillary or Laura. We can’t expect her to act like them. It’s Melania we’re talking about. I don’t see the point in getting too riled up when everyone truly knows this is the best we are going to get. When it comes down to it, do we really give a shit what she does? No. Not really.

A immigrant with some questions about her own naturalization fronting for this race baiting administration… the jokes will be brutal.

Coulter’s evil shit comes from her and Alex Jones saying that the little kids(first and second graders?) gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary were actors and that the slaying of the innocents was staged. Evil motherfuckers and nothing else.

Any time away from Donald is good time, even it if means going to Texas and mingling with the unwashed. Did she actually interact or “god forbid” touch any of these children?

That’s true. My worry is only that these kinds of photo-ops will placate people and then the migrant issue will become sidelined. (Besides, I’m freaking out that the Trump admin has just requested the Pentagon to find 20,000 beds for these kids in military facilities.)
