President Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at Congressional Democrats, whom he once again falsely blamed for his own administrations immigration policies.

In fact, Republicans have majorities in both the House and the Senate and could pass immigration fixes without Democratic votes if they wanted to do so. Additionally, it was the Trump administration that decided to separate children from their families as part of its zero tolerance immigration policy that criminally prosecutes parents if they illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
The administration has also started separating children from parents who are legally trying to claim asylum in the United States.
The Trump White House over the weekend released multiple, contradictory messages about its family separation policies. Trump blamed the Democrats for the policy, while aide Stephen Miller proudly stated that the policy was an administration decision. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, meanwhile, falsely claimed that the administration doesnt have a policy of separating children from their families.

(870 posts)What happened to America? it use to be a country that actually did not stand for the repeat of the vile being done by Trump and republicans. China takes Actions when "any" person damages China, S. Korea took actions when their President damaged S. Korea, when the Iraqi's got the chance they took actions with regard to Saddam, or the Romanians did when they found a way to deal with Nicolae Ceausescu and the Libyan people did...
We've sent troops and operative around the world, getting rid of vile leaders, yet, we have no system that gets rid of the likes of Trump, who damages American more and more everyday?
Will it take a foreign power to come in and do what we seem unable to do, which is remove Trump.
We no longer teach civics, and that was a republican construct to diminish the teaching of it, so it weakens the political value concepts in people, so now ... people allow such madness to continue.. We even allow a nut case like Guiliani to keep flapping his lips with anything he can say to pander to his worship of Trump, while being driven to aim to destroy the rule of law, and make exemption for Trump. They are trying the exact same programming that saw the rise of Hitler.
We certainly have some people with specialties that are well trained in which we've used in foreign lands to remove leaders.... What will it take for America to do the same in America with such a vile and malice driven money obsessed fool in our white house.

It's much more all encompassing. Also, he's kind of fat.
