More than a dozen House Democrats are bringing survivors of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as their guests to the address tonight.
Surely, Donnie will be cool with this, flattered by it, even.
It’s kinda like something he pioneered, bringing Bill Clinton’s accusers to his debate with Hillary, no? (Trump Planned Debate 'Stunt', Invited Bill Clinton Accusers to Rattle Hillary )

“Will your speech be, say, Hugo-Chavez long, Depend®able Don? Or simply, as always, seemingly interminable?”
Also, in addition to the Dem response and counter programming, Colbert and Kimmel will both air live following the STFU.

I’m down with boycotting the bastard.
It’s well past time folks pointedly disregarded his obscenities and fabulism.

But the cries from the GQP of ‘USA, USA, USA, USA…..’ with each break in the speech will be met with deafening approval from the Media Whores.

Sadly, I think about 25% is the floor under current circumstances.
Hell, Hoover got 40% in the 1932 election. (1932 United States presidential election - Wikipedia )
ETA: Richard Nixon’s lowest approval rating was 24% , recorded in Gallup polls conducted in July and August 1974, just prior to his resignation on August 9, 1974. (Google machine summary for prompt nixon lowest approval rating )

ICE owes her the names of those agents who assaulted her. Or she should sue ICE itself as they have funding. They at barest minimum owe to pay her medical bills along with personal apologies. That is what a responsible noncriminal government would do.
Maybe trump could… .. but no. We know of a certainty he cares only for himself. Never someone else. He is not that humane.

I’d be OK with a criminal investigation into what appears to be the excessive force used by the perps.
