The travel costs get to me too. It is indeed the extra cherry on the shit Sunday.

Just a reminder- “Fifty-seven percent of Americans don’t have enough cash to cover a $500 unexpected expense,”^ And our government is asking for thousands of dollars to fly the kids they stole -and a chaperone-back from the far-flung prisons they sent them too. The parents and the kids started out in the same damn place. Any travel costs are a direct result of the governments choices.

Probably not. Only rich people get that sort of full justice.

This stuff makes me so furious I can’t see straight. Among all the obscene actions taken and arguments made, let’s not forget the claim that turning over information about policy and implementation would be burdensome. The only reason that would be true is because of this fake government acting without consideration, planning, or record/keeping. The policy of separating parents and children and then treating the children as unaccompanied minors made things much worse, because they gave up any pretense of ensuring reunions- at the same time they were lying to parents about their options.
The Nazis kept better records.

Add the demand that 1 year old represent themselves in court. Recall that a TX immigration “judge” stated he can teach any 3 year old immigration law in an hour.

Trump may have finally found two clear ways to excel past President Obama:

  1. Having more lawsuits brought against him and his mal-administration than President Obama, and;

  2. Having far more negative court judgements against him and his faux-administration than President Obama.

What a record of distinction Schlump is working towards!

Yes, but Trump is earnestly trying to exceed the Nazis obscene performance in so many other ways.

Now try to imagine the endless series of damage suits to be filed not only against the government, but personally against Trump, Kirstjen Nielsen, Alex Azar, et. al. for both financial losses but also extreme emotional suffering and trauma .

This could be truly interesting, . . . and costly.

The legacy of the Trump mal-administration may know no end, unfortunately for all of us,
