Trump throws in the towel


@JohnJHarwood
Trump throws in the towel




@realDonaldTrump
Republicans should stop wasting their time on Immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November. Dems are just playing games, have no intention of doing anything to solves this decades old problem. We can pass great legislation after the Red Wave!

they are transporting children in the middle of night to states all over the country. Putting them tractor trailers and moving them around like cattle, in the middle of night. It was reported on Lawrence O'Donnell last night. We don't know if these children are alive or dead, they are being drugged up to.

We need to hold these bastards accountable. I hate this regime.

I would like to put fucking trump in a cage.

There is no strategy, just reaction in the moment. And it sounds like he blindsided Republicans.

Melania posted against his policy several days ago, and I read that Ivanka showed up in his office with photos, and asking what he was going to do about it, the day he went to see Ryan. Both ladies were looking daggers at him during the signing.

I am going to keep doing this and it's the Democrats fault, and bank on the country continuing to sleep walk though it.

12. LOL, Red Wave? More like a Red Tide.

From wiki:

Red tide is a common name for a worldwide phenomenon known as an algal bloom.


Effects on humans (they haven't edited it yet to include baby jails):
drowsiness, diarrhea, nausea, loss of motor control, tingling, numbing or aching of extremities, incoherence and respiratory paralysis just to name a few. Lastly, reports of skin irritation after swimming in the ocean during a red tide are common so locals and tourists should try to avoid the red tide when it is in the area.
