The slog of this authoritarian shitshow is grinding us all down. My inspiration has gone into hiding with Melania. Knock yourselves out! (Trump cont.)

'Editorial from Trump's hometown paper—a paper he still reads: "It's not just that this looks terrible in the eyes of the world. It is terrible: at least 2,000 children ripped from their parents’ arms, sometimes literally, in just the first six weeks." '

Nooooooo....

'Trump often reacts to TV images but is suspicious of pictures and stories of kids in cages. He thinks media cherry picked them make him look bad. And aides are showing him happy pics of smiling kids playing games, exercising outdoors, etc.'

'Jeff Sessions just said on Fox that the poIicy of separating kids at border is a deterrent - even as others in admin have denied that. “Yes, hopefully people will get the message ... and come through the border at the port of entry and not [come] across the border unlawfully.” '

This came out last year, but is even more relevant, it could be either of them saying these statements. Hitler OR Trump. Or both.

Except mini they are turned away at the official border crossing. A fact that Neilsen denied in amongst her shitstorm of lies. She said 'they aren't turned away, they're asked to come back later as we're a bit busy'... or words to that effect.
No idea what bit of 'turned away' she doesn't understand

Yes, Roussette, and I thought the press performed very poorly both with Nielsen and Sneerah in holding them to account.

Yet there's a thread on Twitter I've just read (just searching for it...) saying how the press corp are pulling together and challenging more, some agree, some disagree.. It's imperceptible to me.

This is reprehensible, echoing immigrants are animals.

That 'deadstate' piece is utterly chilling. But you can see why these perverters of Christianity find it so easy to hitch their unholy wagons to this POTUS.

'Trump to meet with House Republicans ahead of immigration votes'

As bad as this is at the moment, don't you get the impression that it's just another storm the Administration will weather, en route to another scandal, and it will just be forgotten?

This is sheer delusion. Poorly framed questions. No pressure to support so called facts with detail. They should be calling out the lies in real time, every time. Time for nicey, nicey is long gone.

@Susan_Hennessey
The WH press corp was at its best today. Allowing colleagues to follow up. Re-asking unanswered questions. Refusing to move on or cower from Nielsen’s snide dismissals. It was tough and fair and informed the public. We should see more briefings like this.

Some people are rattled and I hope Trump is too.

'Nielsen underwent briefing prep three times today before facing reporters — first with DHS officials, then again in John Kelly's office and once more with Sanders & the press team. But she didn't discuss the issue one-on-one with Trump. Questions remained.'

Yes, Lweji. I do.

Tbh, even if Mueller indicts Ivanka, I think the press should keep the focus on these children. I dread to think what will happen to them if the media spotlight is removed.

Lweji, I think the T./repug immigration meeting will give something of a lead. Have any of them found their spines? Have any of them weighed that the nature of crisis might give them trouble in the mid terms? These repugs are so self-serving, what will move them?

Hum.

“When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space. So important.”

Good to know some Christians are being Christian, lion.

Not playing ball.

As far as I could tell, apart from activists, it was the Churches and Church leaders who started speaking out first. Particularly when the deplorables tried to justify it with the Bible.
