Good thing this administration has such a strong track record of telling the American people the truth.

Lol. You don’t have to detain people pretrial. You do. Why? To punish them.

Sessions needs to be disbarred, or at least forced to take a class on the 14th amendment.

Sessions, apparently, " never really intended" to follow that pesky piece of paper when he was sworn in.

His old crusty behind is in the hot seat :seat:

I’m sure Trump doesn’t like being lied :lying_face: too! Sessions literally CHOKED rolling out this wicked policy. To save his job, I would advise him to blame the immigration failures on Steve Miller! Sessions could easily say, “Steve Miller made him do it!”.

“We don’t want to separate families, but…”

“Baby, it’s only because I love you that I hit you.”

It’s a policy, it’s not a policy, it’s a deterrent, it’s the law, I would change it if I could, we will enforce the law, it’s a policy, well, we REALLY didn’t mean it, but good luck getting your kids back.

Sessions is just clever enough to tell a lie that nudges truth without indulging in it. As I understand it, technically, children cannot be interned so they are removed from their parent(s) to allow the parents to be interned which same act effectively makes the child an unaccompanied minor or ‘orphan’ thereby entered into a different bureaucracy.

This was a point I tried to make (rather poorly) in another recent thread: How the Trump administration is weaponizing government bureaucracy

The current border crisis is a vivid example of how, when they want to, Republicans will put in place a bureaucratic maze that certain people will find impossible to navigate. If you’re seeking asylum in the United States, you’ll be confronted not just with a complex system that can take months or even years to resolve your case but also one that the Trump administration made even crueler, to the point of taking children from their parents, in order to punish and deter those fleeing their home countries. …

Or consider the executive order Trump signed in April telling federal agencies to impose work requirements on all forms of public assistance wherever and whenever they can. ...What work requirements do, however, is force recipients to struggle through a bureaucratic nightmare of documenting their hours, getting their boss to sign their time sheets, delivering them on time to the government office — with any slip-up meaning you could lose your benefits.

A gauntlet is being created that will not only repeatedly punish its victims but oblige them to remain or re-enter it in the vain hope of escape from the floggings. It’s purpose is punishment, yes, but also delegitimization of both the victims and government institutions once intended to help them.

It does not matter what is said: in a systems view, what a thing does is what it is. This thing won’t stop, it must be killed.

Chuy Cristo! My nine-year-old grandson, while generally an honest child, could construct a more believable story than that.

Reminded me of that classic scene from Mommy Dearest: : " that…is a lie!"
They’re not even trying now.

Separating families was intended as a deterrent, according to both Sessions and Kelly. This is exactly what they wanted. In fact, he practically cackled with glee at the prospect. I hope his Church disfellowships him for grossly lying, along with his multitude of other sins.

This monster was on the Christian Broadcasting Network today trying to calm the tsunami coming at him, no doubt, by the Methodists, who want to give him a well-deserved kick into hell.
