On MSNBC now: Melania says she is "Here to support the children."

Melania should go home. This bullshit photo-op isn't helping anyone. Her husband ordered thousands of children kidnapped from their parents.

Gaslighting the American people has been perfected by this administration.

Because when you're placing children in cages, there's more than one side, doncha know?

She must mean more than one side to the cages because there is only one side when children are placed in cages - the side against doing it.

I made a Facebook post about the kidnapping and torture of these children. I received a responding post, schoolmarming me about my emotional response, and stating confidently that the issue wasn't "black and white" as some would have it (quote marks in the original response). Sadly, the responder (who I don't know) didn't quite get to the fine nuances and shades of gray that he asserted were abundant in this situation.

This seems to be the next step in the gaslighting: Pretending that this crime against humanity isn't all that serious or bad. The precise explanation of which hasn't been formulated yet.

Sad not everyone sees her visit as anything but brainwashing from a president under investigation for colluding with Americas enemy, Russia. Look at what Trump is doing, EVERYTHING benefits only 1 person Putin.

But I don't have much faith in much of our MSM to act as anything but a blowhorn. Sadly, it seems former Republicans like Nicole Wallace and Joe Scarbough are the most likely to not Parrott Trump's talking points. I turn off MSNBC after Lawerence because that guy after is the worst.

It's nothing more than a photo-op and a cynical attempt to put a soft face on this evil, brutal administration. Fuck her for enabling them.

Trump attacking President Obama's birthplace. She keeps making herself look even more guilty of lying, again.

Jer husband's followers want to insist newcomers to the US speak English only; maybe it's time for her to show a good example.
