^I do remember reading that the numbers were so small that it wasn't worth keeping count. I haven't really done a lot of research so I don't know the actual numbers of kids being separated, but I suppose all in all, kids shouldn't be separated in the first place.

Real talk that's cold ****. :clap:

Lol bull****. There are a multitude of factors at play in this manufactured crisis. The fact Trump responded as quickly as he did is pretty remarkable. I've read reports from Human Rights First going back to last year about people supposedly being turned away from ports of entry and in the vast majority of cases the problem is on the Mexican government's end. Like needing "government official approval" to be officially recognized or some other garbage. Trump has nothing to do with any of that nor has control over them. Though if we played "pin the tail on the tariff" maybe they'd change their tune hmn?

You might find this illuminating as well.

Yep, the ambiguous laws that are in place are defo the product of former administrations. Different levels of selective authoritarianism is what's caused this particular controversy though.

Once the SOTH and GOP senate walked back, you knew this EO was going to happen fast.

*Trump gets forcibly led into a darkened room and sat in a hard chair. Duct tape seals his mouth and hands. A bright hot light comes on directly over his head. He starts to sweat. Mitch and Paul start circling him ominously.

Mitch: You gotta stop this ****.
Paul: You're ****ing over the party.
M: We have mid-terms coming up.
P: We have to maintain control.
M: Put your ego in check Donnie.
P: If you don't, your last 2 years in office,
M: are going to be as impotent,
P: as your 70 year old dick.

Both: GOT IT?????

Trump signs EO under the pretense that it was his wife and his morals that made him do it.*

Next up: workplace raids

That’s weird.

Reminds me of Paris Hilton

Not particularly.

She was a model. I doubt Trump married her for her brain or winning personality.

It would be funny if it said *** dumpster
