Actually it’s trump’s bigotry…

It’s surprising he’s not wearing a sheet with a bat in his hand.

Don’t you mean sadistic rather than masochistic?

Some good news in that the Administration has declined to prosecute around 16 border crossers because they came as head of household, meaning they had families. If that becomes implemented nationwide, then we may have put a stop to this family separation practice and can focus on reuniting the kids who were kidnapped with their families.

President Trump dumped cold water all over House Republicans’ flickering efforts to pass a major immigration bill on Thursday, undercutting their already-unsteady push with just hours to go before scheduled votes with a tweet.

There are scheduled votes with a tweet?

Are you kidding me? I could have been avoiding the line at customs? I’ve got tri-citizenship, a heap of passports and nobody bothered to tell me there is a password?? Thanks a lot, Democrats Abroad! See if I make any future donations.

And he learned it from a tweet someone else wrote for him.

He’ll forget it tomorrow.

And just wait until a Dem (some day) takes the same office.

You know darned well that person will never be able to do ANY of this.

Of course the administration completely ignores the damage already done to separated families. The good news is that volunteers, teams of human rights organizations and attorneys working pro bono, are now navigating the labyrinth of bureaucracy to repair this. As they work to fix it, the administration keeps breaking it. Families are still being separated as we speak, and more children being flown to secret jails.

Since the Congressional Republicans are now completely domesticated and voluntarily neutered by trump, they don’t dare anger him, or even suggest that they might oppose him. They can’t utter a word without trembling in fear about what trump might tweet about it.

They’re worse than useless.

I wish this was clear. Dems might draw back from the nastiest outer reaches, especially as regards internal policy, but they’re still likely to operate within a ratcheted, ever-larger sphere of autocracy. Cf. Obama’s conduct of the GWOT.

Plus, after the Dem comes the next R. Someone better organized than Trump will be able to make a lot more out of the power he’s gaining for them.

“The reason he was there was to emphasize he had our backs and I think a different message was sent that day.”

Pfft. Mr. Labrador, POTUS needed to demonstrate his dominance and thus the jab at Sanford. Put away any notion that he will ever have your back. Trump and loyalty to Trump are the only thing Trump cares about.

The Orange Idiot is claiming that people are being “coached” to ask for asylum at the border. His ignorance and bigotry are limitless.

There’s been a 1000% increase in Trump’s pouty 7-year-old pose lately. The decent into megalomania and paranoia is accelerating.
