that these kids were united? I really do not know what to believe anymore. Stories change, they contradict each other--all coming from Trump Admin. damn!

gov't tells CNN 500 children reunited.
gov't produces ZERO proof.
they're pathological liars, folks. until there's proof, this claim is utterly pointless.

The evidence so far is that they are in a *fake* retreat, so watch for it carefully.

Since May. Thats how far back they had to go to get to 500. Pure bullshit. 2,300 RIGHT NOW that need reunification. Likely hundreds more coming in every day and I have absolutely no confidence that this administration will not continue to take them away from their parents.

That's the problem with these people. Every word out of their mouth is an obvious lie so we can't believe a goddamned word they say! ZERO credibility! I can't think of a SINGLE person in this administration I trust to tell the truth.

This is starting to sound more and more like a govt Boko Haram operation. Where are the girls? Who is watching them? Let's interview them.

Why does he need military bases for 20,000? Doesn't sounds like he plans on stopping separation. He lies and he is totally nuts. He's a racist just like his father and grandfather. He wants to be a murderous dictator so bad. Ivanka and Melanie are just as bad

Labeling all children held as "unaccompanied". We'll never know the truth.

It took an immigration lawyer 2 days to get a good lead on ONE child. So yeah - we're gonna believe that this incompetent, uncaring administration has reunited hundreds? Yeah, ok.

This administration has lied about their policy every step of the way. It would be crazy to start believing them now.

It even says "bullshit" in your OP. And, I didn't even see that before.

(297,304 posts)I just didn't understand what else I couldn't possibly being saying bullshit about.
We're all really punchy with all this rapid fire bullshit coming down the pike especially after Fraud started Ripping Children and Babies out of their parents arms at the border.
Like we're living in a really bad nightmare and we can't wake up.
No worries, rivers.. Get some Peace and Aloha in your garden

(70,242 posts)the sun is coming out finally so will let nature work a while. Glad you responded. People keep saying this ripping kids away is the last straw for Trump but I--many of us--know better.
Feeling less punchy after a short walk. Take care and talk later.

(42,759 posts)In my mind 492 or 512 would be more believable. Someone took a number off
the top of their head. If you were one of the parents still not knowing where your
child is the difference of just one child in their count would matter.
