This is kabuki. Pray Jeebus that Pelosi & Schumer don’t permit their caucuses to fall for it.

Remember that the GOP is the party of “family values” and supposedly loves the “Leave it to Beaver” image of the American family.
This seems to be the vaunted pivot point everyone was expecting after the inauguration. That trump would become “presidential”
Nope
trump has revealed himself. His bigotry is on display in full living color. In that “tent city” in Texas I hope those tens are cooled somehow because the forecast is for 106° today. We could possibly have a serious problem by the end of the day.(heat stroke deaths)…
Yeah, family values…

When this pathetic excuse for a human being passes from the scene, the celebration ain’t gonna be exactly the way he’s imagining.
Cruel and unusual punishment is prohibited by Article 6 of the Constitution.
Yesterday I took a nap and had a dream. I posted this yesterday but I think I will offer it again for those who missed it…
In my dreamLawyer Avenatti filed a suit with Child Protective Services of DC in which it
was pointed out that young Barron Trump was living with a known serial
child abuser. There was evidence, … tape evidence presented about
pussy grabbing by his father and then the abuse of thousands of children
brought by their parents to the US in search of safety. In my dream CPS
snuck into the White House and spirited young Barron to freedom away
from his father (who could not care less) and his distraught mother who
fled to Slovenia … remember this was a dream… they don’t hafta
make sense. Later on in the dream the DC police showed up with a warrant
for the arrest of one donald j trump who was taken to jail and named a
serial child abuser…and put in a cell with several not so nice
guys…
I wanted to catch the ending but i woke up…

The Koch’s, Mercer’s and Murdoch’s gave us these American “Leaders”, along
with the Supreme Court and Citizens United, Good Luck America! vote blue in
November if it’s not to late?
Did anyone else notice this? “The whole purpose of this is to adjudicate their claims very quickly and make a determination whether they have a valid asylum claim or if they can be deported,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who supports a bill from Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), told TPM". Not “if they SHOULD be deported” but rather “if they CAN be deported”.So, the way I read this is, we really want to deport all these people, but unfortunately we have to allow some to seek asylum. Which, I believe, is exactly the worldview these people have. Disgusting. Whatever happened to “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”?

Same pattern as North Korea. Trump creates an immigration crisis where there was no real problem. (Undocumented immigration rate is down overall). Much hubbub and anquish is generated. Then Trump and the GOP swoop in amd take credit for “solving” the “problem” and ending the crisis that Trump, himself created.
It is rumored that he will sign an order today ending family separation. My bet is that he will do so with some grand pronouncement that this was never his intent and that the problem was created by DHS and DOJ. He will claim credit and possibly fire Neilsen and Sessions, both of whom he wants to fire anyway.
Then, he and the GOP Trumpazoans will create a new crisis where there was none before and blow the world up once again.

This legislative activity is much ado about nothing. This is an elaborate face saving cave. The lawsuits will continue and that will cramp their ability to do much more on this front. There will be no wall and Trump can try to shut down the gov’t later this year.

This is OT, but I read a little while ago that at the G7, he threw a handful of candy at Angela Merkel and said: “Don’t say I never gave you anything.”
After what they’ve done to it I’m not even sure I want my country back.

Yep - he has just caved. How angry will he be about this? Listen to his overthetop ranting at his Minnesota mob/rally later today.
Back to the caving of Trump: The devil, of course, will be in the details.

So the Republican Cult is proposing a way to get the heat off themselves without touching the underlying inhumane crime.
Separating some families and not others doesn’t make anything “more moral”.
