About time. EVERYDAY, the free press, should confront each and every Republican
Senator and Congressman possible with 5 Trump lies from the past week,
and 5 of his biggest lies since his Republican nomination and ask those
Republican officials if they are or are not lies and if they are not
lies cite FACTS as proof they are not. The bald faced lies by Republican
President Trump are eating away at the protective enamel of our
Democracy and turning the ignorant, uncaring, and/or intolerant
Trumpsters against enlightened Americanâs that are not. It is dangerous
and Congressional Republicans cannot be allowed to continue to silently
sit on the sidelines enabling, ignoring, or embracing the Trump lies.
It is an evasion to their sworn duty to protect and defend, it is
Un-American, and too important to continue unchecked. This last
unforgivable Trump lie, that the separation of children from their
parents is someone elseâs policy or even a Democrat policy is the last
straw.
The Trump administration: Anti-abortion + pro-separation of families, anti-family + pro-family values?? Go figure.
Confront? If total silence is âconfrontingâ then look around at the massive GOP effort to stop Trump.
Their silence condemns them.
Register people to vote. A Congress with a spine and a conscience could stop most of this.
Where they shall proceed to ask him if thereâs anything they can do to help?
GOP lawmakers reportedly plan to use Trumpâs sensitivity to disturbing photos and negative media spin âŚ
⌠but not their own power to legislate.
House GOPers Will Confront Trump About Separating Families At The Border
Right! Both of them, I imagine?
I suspect this tiny posse will consist entirely of those House members heading for the exits this November. Trump will ignore them.
Realization: If the protests can reverse this policy, Putinâs in deep do-do, because enough Russians will realize that they can thwart his policies if US citizens can thwart the policies of his puppet. Evolution - working like a charm.
I hope that some of the lawyers helping down there are willing to start civil law suits against the U.S. Government for BILLIONS of dollars.
Class-action suit.
They will have a case. And they can donate their fees to the cause.
âHouse GOPers, understanding that they are getting yelled at in their churches, getting killed in the polls, realizing that siding with Trump is like tying a millstone around their necks, decide their balls havenât shriveled up at all, Will Confront Trump About Separating Families AtThe Borderâ
There, thatâs more like it.
My mental process:
Bargaining chips?
Bargaining with whom?
OH, heâs gonna hold the children until Mexico agrees to pay for the wall!
Donât you dare think it wonât happen.
From the article:
âHowever, per Axios, Trump views family
separation as a bargaining chip and is disinclined to roll back the
policy without securing a concession like his border wall in return.â
âŚ
Child abuse as a bargaining chip.
I would call that a new low for the âKing of deal makersâ
Anyone with any humanity would now oppose any wall legislation even to the cost of their job in Congress. But then GOPers recently have lost their last shred of decency and humanity by cowering before trump and kissing his âGodfatherâ ring. Why not just shed their covers and reveal their alien lizard people selves? trump is a front for the Mafia and has been for decades.
edit to addâŚ
I am wondering when the deportations of American Citizens who disagree with trump will begin.
This cartoon deftly shows something that nobody is talking about.
Itâs a WARNING sign. CAUTION!!!
Trump et al never gave a warning sign to Mexicans trying to come in illegally. He COULD have made everyone in the world aware of their new zero-tolerance policy. Instead, he waited, in the dark, like a goddamned child-snatcher for them to bring their kids over the border.
And letâs not forget. We call it âour border.â In reality itâs a border we both share. At least SOME of these families are leaving for asylum from drug warlords.
And the topper: 81% OF MEXICAN ADULTS ARE CATHOLIC
The evangelicals are all over Trump, supporting the hell out of this policy. Some see this as blatant racism.
What if itâs religious bigotry as well?
But the baseline point here is, Trump is separating CHRISTIAN children from their families
Evangelicals see people of color as non-Christian. When years ago I lived in southern Mexico I had occasion to meet a young evangelical who was on fire to convert âthe Heathen Mexicansâ. I pointed out to him that Mexico has has a long and sometimes rocky 500 year+ relationship with The Church. Oh and by the way, young man, there is a Pentecostal Evangelical church 4 doors from this very hotel lobby. If you wander outside you can hear the âspeaking in tonguesâ thatâs going on.
The young man was chagrined to learn all of this.
âHowever, per Axios, Trump views family separation as a bargaining chip and is disinclined to roll back the policy without securing a concession like his border wall in return.â
Making a deal/building a wall on top of the suffering of children: Something very Trumpian about that.
As I said yesterday my dog and three cats live better than those children.
There is no moral. legal, or ethical defense for this. None.
Mike drop.
And how does a baby deal with a bag of chips for dinner?
Yep. But Evangelicals donât view Catholics as Christians.
They deem it a failure that 81% of Mexico is Catholic, as much as if they were satanists.
And the SOB personally torpedoed actual bipartisan legislation to fix DACA how many times?
But that was last year, and his memory event horizon seems to be about three minutes these days.
Some of them actually consider us Papishers to be satanists. You know, because Rome and Revelation and the Great Beast and all that.
