When will Trump release the children to their parents? I say this Friday..

On Friday he will say that he releases them for the weekend as a gesture of caring.

I can't see him backing down.

We need to take control of the house, make inroads in the Senate and then vote him out.

that if Trump releases the children on Friday, it would be only to release those children to parents that are there. I did not mean to convey that. Maybe Trump kind of cares about these children. I guess that is wishful thinking.

What will happen is that congress will pass a law rewarding Trump for his hostage taking.
We will be sold on it saying that what matters first is to help these kids and the dems will go along and fund Trump's wall in the process. Mark my words. To be clear, of course we should help these kids, thats what most important. I just believe that if we keep the pressure (and the GOP is starting to crackvon that as well) , Trump will eventually have to back off. If we do not and instead pass a half-baked bill, we will reward Trump and the GOP. You can be damm sure that any GOP led bill that helps these kids will also be loaded with a bunch of unacceptable crap that we will be told, will have to go for it anyway.

separated from their parents? And if not, that is the real crime. It shows that they never had any intent on returning them at all.
