The Republicans love these kinds of stunts. It’s part of the circus-over-bread emphasis that works with the base. Democrats would rather see people housed, fed, educated, employed, healthy and cared for than entertained.

So that’s two dictators who played Trump and built up their own prestige, in two days. Two murderous monsters that Trump has grinned at, shook hands with, shown obsequious deference to…

After reading an update on Dems visiting the concentration camps and then this, I just want to cry.

And, I’m going with the turned around plane was to distract us from the concentration camps with drinking water coming from toilets.
This is a nightmare.

Ready to roll on the Capitol.

They have something special planned, which is why they had to turn Pence’s plane around mid-flight.

Remind me again why they had to allocate more $$ to bathe children (that they already pay $750/day to ‘house’).

Exactly. Trump should be visiting those internment camps rather than doing ad hoc media stunts only possible with our now-gutted State Department and leaderless DoD.
