I do believe that this is one issue that might open some eyes on the right. Trump/Republicans could have quickly made this go away, but now it becomes the defining issue of his presidency. He apparently wants to be as vicious as his new friend from North Korea.

This country so brain-dead they literally can almost get away with anything. But this just might be a little too much for the brain-dead idiots in this country to tolerate. Democrats would be wise to really pour it on here.

Is lying about who is behind the intentional separation of children from their parents. They started announcing they were going to do this several times before they started it, and it was intentionally meant to hurt these children and their families, which is child abuse. His denials are just lies, more lies from trump. Sessions and he cooked this up to use to hurt them with, and now they want to put them in tents around El Paso, in tents in triple digit temperatures, and claims like trump says beautiful care, in triple digit heat in tents. Their ripping them away is inhumane , and cruel, and a form of child abuse. They just keep doing this , and trying to blame others for this human tragedy, knowing its going to effect them for life, and they do it anyway to them. Just like trump has terrorized all the DACA kids, and keeps threatening them and others with inaction to make them legal like they should be . His pattern of brutality against kids is a horrible pattern how little he cares. He and the GOP cut food for kids also, not Democrats, Trump and the Republicans , so this isn't something new he's doing to them. Their policy's were started against kids before this.

And it was - if illegal immigrants get prosecuted their children are separated because the adults are temporarily in jail and the children are not guilty of the crimes. And also unaccompanied minors have to be taken in and protected because they don't have a guardian.

The change here is previous administrations did not prosecute every single person trying to cross the border; Trump's zero-tolerance policy means all of them are prosecuted, not just arrested and deported, meaning every child is separated, leading to this surge in the numbers of separated children. The infrastructure was there to handle the normal number of children, Trump is now stuffing and overpopulating these facilities which ultimately will lead to mishandling, neglect and mistreatment of these children and eventually probably worse because even well-meaning staff can't handle the population. They're setting up tents for them, for the love of God...along the border and I can't help but worry that something bad will happen - one escapes from a tent and goes missing or the power fails and they get heatstroke...

The administration is purposely confusing the issue - Putting the words "dangerous" and "Democrats" at the top of a list of stuff they are doing to muddy the waters and place blame. Their base reads the first line and strokes-out at implied "evil librul Obama administration" and assigns the blame for everything else that follows and has recently happened to Democrats.

Don't look now but I think we just became North Korea. This is so not with the morals and standing of our country. The process has been done one step at a time, but our country is being taken over. In another two years, I would not be surprised to hear that we have a "dear leader for life" of our own. Day after day things keep getting more frightening. Please, make. it. stop.

Too many American families have been permanently separated from loved ones lost to the failure to pass adequate common sense gun laws. We demand common sense gun laws!


Or how about: Too many American families have been permanently separated from loved ones lost because of pre-existing conditions not being covered in their health care plans. Thanks to Obamacare, that was decreasing tremendously. Continue to insure those with pre-existing conditions!

Or: Too many American families have been permanently separated from loved ones lost to the fact that the U.S. has the world's highest prescription drug prices. Lower drug prices for US citizens now!

Or: Too many American families have been permanently separated from loved ones lost to violent gun crimes committed by its own citizens because of the powerful hold the NRA has over the GOP. Vote for your constituents, not the NRA!

The possibilities are endless.

All really good ideas. Your post needs to be passed on the DNC for action, IMHO.

The "deterrence" excuse didn't wash, public outrage at family separations and incarcerated children has spread worldwide, then Trump's insane rant on the WH lawn claiming it's a Democratic policy revealed for the BS it is.
I love the smell of desperation in the morning. Smells like ... victory.

Hopefully some harm comes to him, such as a nice death by natural causes.
