Melania wears jacket that says I DON'T REALLY CARE to visit caged kid camp

Kimmel Can’t Figure Out Melania Trump’s ‘I Really Don’t Care’ Jacket
Jimmy Kimmel struggled to figure out why Melania Trump wore a jacket proclaiming, “I really don’t care.” He wondered: “Is the president now tweeting onto his wife’s clothes?”


Melania's jacket looks like something a sullen teenager would wear.

The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

Trump reversed course today and signed an order to stop separating immigrant kids from their families — and start detaining them together. You know 2018 is rough when people are going, "All right, families getting locked up in cages together! Yeah!”- Jimmy Fallon

Trump To Reverse The Order He Just Reversed? Apparently So.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Thursday said that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has privately told lawmakers that the Trump administration's family separation practice could resume despite the president signing an executive order to end the practice.





I don't know which is worse, Caged Kids or shooting someone on 5th Avenue.






Finally, Good News!
A Guatemalan immigrant who sued top Trump administration officials over her family's separation reunited with her son early Friday after a month apart.
Beata Mariana de Jesus Mejia-Mejia's 7-year-old son, Darwin, arrived at Baltimore Washington International Airport on a flight from Phoenix early Friday.

Custom Agents Asked For Proof of Citizenship in Maine To Use Interstate
A checkpoint set up by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents Wednesday on Interstate 95 led to the arrest of a fugitive Haitian immigrant who previously was ordered to be deported...The random checkpoint, which was in place for 11 hours...“If you want to continue down the road, then yes ma’am. We need to know what citizen — what country you’re a citizen of,” an agent said Wednesday evening to two BDN reporters who went through the checkpoint.

The Trump administration feared it would be a “public relations nightmare”: a major federal study that concluded contaminated groundwater across the country, especially near military bases, was more toxic than the government realized.

Yeah, they didn't let the press into Auschwitz either


Lawmakers banned from talking to detained migrant kids
Lawmakers are now banned from speaking with migrant children who are held at detention centers after being separated from their parents, according to a new Department of Heath and Human Services (HHS) directive sent to congressional offices on Wednesday.
The directive also states that lawmakers must give two weeks' notice before traveling to an immigrant detention center. They will be barred from entering if they do not give the advanced notice.


They're hiding something, this won't end well.

Sure children were taken from their parents, kept in cages, given powerful drugs, and beaten while in handcuffs, but it’s not like anything horrible was done to them like when Michelle Obama suggested they should eat a carrot now and then.- OhNoSheTwint

Sessions Wants Military Lawyers To Prosecute Immigrants. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has reportedly asked the Pentagon to provide military lawyers to help prosecute illegal immigration cases along the southern border.

My God, Has GITMO Taken Over This Detention Center?
 Immigrant children as young as 14 housed at a juvenile detention center in Virginia say they were beaten while handcuffed and locked up for long periods in solitary confinement, left nude and shivering in concrete cells... court filings that include a half-dozen sworn statements from Latino teens jailed there for months or years. Multiple detainees say the guards stripped them of their clothes and strapped them to chairs with bags placed over their heads.




Trump ended the child kidnapping policy he had started; and he hasn't been this proud of himself since he brought us back from the brink of nuclear war with North Korea, which he had brought us to. - John Fugelsang

Anyone who can walk 3 grueling months with a child to escape death and violence and want a better life, can live next to me any damn time.  JD Luckenbach tweet




Is Cohen Doing A Flip With A Twist?
Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime confidant and former personal attorney, has resigned from his post as deputy finance chair of the Republican National Committee's Finance Committee...Cohen also criticized the administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the southern border...“While I strongly support measures that will secure our porous borders, children should never be used as bargaining chips."



This isn't my Republican Party, dammit. I belong to the party of Joe McCarthy, the John Birch Society, Barry Goldwater, Nixon's Southern Strategy, Ronald Reagan's "welfare queen" talking points, George W. Bush's Iraq invasion, and John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin. Trump is NOT my ...

May I be so bold to add to the above list?

Republican Values

Youngest migrants held in ‘tender age’ shelters
Lawyers and medical professionals who visited a federal shelter for babies and toddlers taken from parents at border describe play rooms of crying preschool-age children in crisis.


If listening to the tape of the crying children held in cages wasn't bad enough, there is this on the same tape -- One Border Patrol agent says in Spanish, "Well, we have an orchestra here. What’s missing is a conductor.”
What's missing is #empathy for Christ's sake. These children are being abused. At this very moment.

The Costs Of Imprisoning Kids Are High. Who Knew?
Separating migrant kids from their parents will cost the administration more than placing them in permanent structures or keeping them with their parents.



"It's not racism!" cried Trump (who ripped off Americans w/a scam online U, fined $25 mil for education fraud) & Sessions (who perjured himself 2x). "It's respect for the LAW!"
Then they enjoyed a light lunch w/Scott Pruitt as their followers reliably screamed about 'illegals.' - John Fugelsang
