Blathering, corrupt, fat, orange slob, from the party of “family values” and "personal responsibility."

“Boarder Security”! Hey, only elitists care about stupid shit like spelling!!! Cry, libtards, for your correct grammar!

Beyond mortifying. His blackmailing style - er, I mean, negotiating expertise - isn’t going to win this time.

Do you think he is “winning” this issue?

Dammit, why did I read TPM this morning? Now I have the Bennie Hill theme song playing in my head!

And what is it with these bozos - does the White House phone system not work any more? One conference call and they could all agree on one set of lies. I mean really, this is embarrassing…

Boosting Democratic chances in the Mid-terms every time he opens his pie hole.

I took a quick trip to wingnuttia and they seem to be fine with the concentration camp tactics. As far as I can tell Trump should be bragging about it and being blessed by the evangelical leaders.

BTW, what’s Ivanka’s position in all this? We already know the “two-sides” idiocy of the all around phony Melania.

Any minute now something awful is going to happen to/among those warehoused kids. —accident, disease outbreak, bullying injuries, a death. Are they really paying attention to all these kids’ allergies, diabetes, malnutrition? Not to mention their interactions with each other. Especially among the teen boys, that must be a powder keg.

Does this government really want to deal with these headaches/ responsibilities for thousands MORE kids?

Trump is beginning to look like the Mr. Creosote of tweets… I hope, anyway!
“Just one more tweet, sir!”
In general, he really looks like is ready to explode these days.

From a Brookings article I read earlier-

“Trump’s America does not care. It is unencumbered by historical memory. It recognizes no moral, political or strategic commitments.”

This is a perfect summation of the Trump voter and Republican Party.

For some time I have wondered at a public test which might clearly reveal the character and nature of a person. Folks, we have found it in Trump’s policy of kidnapping children to use as hostages for his political ambitions.

Anyone who displays hostility or indifference to the plight of the Refugee families at our southern border and what is happening to their children, tells you everything you need to know about that person.

There is something wrong with the current republican regime. Dangerously wrong.

If they’re okay with this then there’s likely no atrocity they wouldn’t willingly commit.

He went on to suggest that children were being used as pawns by “the worst criminals on earth”

He is so full of shit this morning that it is probably backed up to his esophagus. The Trump administration is using children as pawns and it is child abuse. It is disgusting and inhumane. The pictures we see from our free press tell the story. A pediatrician visited the “camps” and described children in distress. Our country is doing untold damage to children because they are not white and it is being done by the Trump administration in our name. He continues to dehumanize by references to MS-13 -an American born gang.

It strikes me that this is the kind of thing that could make him say “fuck those protocols”. On the other hand, never interrupt your opponent when they are committing suicide.

Actually I meant “Ivanka”, phone auto-correct is Trump dumb.

yes, but children will very likely die soon, because of heat and inadequate conditions. This is a very urgent situation, in all senses.

Trump’s tweet:

We don’t want what is happening with immigration in Europe to happen with us!

Looks like he’s been following Steve King’s Twitter feed.

ETA:

Children are being used by some of the worst criminals on earth as a means to enter our country.

And Trump, our worst president by any measure, is using children as a political cudgel to keep as many people out as possible.

That’s what I’m thinking. The Democrats have denounced this and made it clear they want to stop it. Everyone’s looking at the administration and GOP leaders now. Trump continues to think the Democrats will crack and give him his whole wishlist, but this isn’t like the last shutdown. People are outraged and they know where to direct it. In its way this is potentially more politically damaging than Katrina or Puerto Rico after Maria. This is vicious psychological torture inflicted on the children of asylum-seekers. It’s not a mere gesture toward authoritarianism. It’s not abstract. It’s authoritarianism as a physical reality in the United States. They’re putting children in cages, for Christ’s sake. Even slaveowners knew it was wrong to separate families.
