You jackbooted morons. The orange thing doesn’t care any more about you than he does about anyone on the planet who is not him.

This won’t be on Trump’s “Despots of Instagram” feed.

The Deployment is one hundred percent effective. It brought the required PR and allowed grandstanding as needed. Actually doing something, not important.

History will record this as the Prime policy in every facet of the Trump Mal-Administration.
Well put

Posse Comitatus is a thing.

Our next class will be on Executive Order 12333. There will be a test.

So much winning!!

Just realizing that this is a threat to getting more racist agents now, douchebag? Too bad, so sad.

Oh I don’t know. Seems to me that separating children from their families is a lot of hard work.

I still haven’t figured out what function children serve.

Many of these BP guys are just formerly unemployed who found a cushy job. Zealots, they are not. At least not by observing the ones stationed at the Permanent Check Point we have to travel through going to the 35,000 population town and army base just south of where we live.

They used to ask if we were citizens (not wishing to profile anyone), and my response was, “Yes. Are you?” Irked them, it did. They no longer ask, just wave everyone through.

Wish I’d been there the day our 75 year old Deacon and his Nisei wife came through the check point. The BP greenie looked at her and asked, “Mam, where were you born?” “Wyoming, buster!” (She was born in a concentration camp, behind barbed wire, when California “relocated” all the Japanese at the beginning of WW2.)

But, nooo, America isn’t racist. Not a bit. No sirree.

All hat and no cattle.

Trump’s administration is like an old west town full of false fronts, reckless shootouts, migratory lobbyists and carpetbagging political opportunists.

The headline misspelled “Life” as “Deployment.”

These days “suicide by cop” for a black person merely requires failing to signal a lane change.

The Border Patrol has a union? That seems kind of un-American.

“Keep on pushing me baby
Don’t you know you drive me crazy
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline…”

You mean Westworld before the hosts rebelled?

Evidently keeping track of them afterwards is even harder. That’s why HHS has lost track of nearly 1,500 of them.

Hostages.
