Trump rages against due process rights for immigrants as thousands remain in baby jails

President Donald Trump complained about due process for immigrants accused of breaking U.S. laws in an early morning tweet. The president griped again that more judges were needed to oversee immigration cases, although he vastly overstated the number.

“We shouldn’t be hiring judges by the thousands, as our ridiculous immigration laws demand, we should be changing our laws, building the Wall, hire Border Agents and Ice and not let people come into our country based on the legal phrase they are told to say as their password,” Trump tweeted.

Thousands of children remain in immigrant detention facilities after Trump signed an executive order to halt his family separation policy.

The administration has given no indication when those children, some of whom are infants, might be reunited with their parents, or whether any such efforts will be undertaken.

He should resign and find a country more suited to his dictatorship

In addition to his treasonous behavior cozying up to dictators and trashing our alliances with democratic countries, his ultimate treason is his utter failure to protect (and, in fact, his active destruction of) the Constitution.

I have no doubt about the statement made by one of his ex-wives. He is surely a man who kept a copy of Hitler’s speeches by his bed.
By the way “bloated goblin POTUS “ was coined by Patton Oswalt.

I seriously doubt he has read a complete book in his entire life. He doesn't seem to know anything about anything, and his vocabulary is at a third-grade level.

Then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he obtained (note I do not say "earned&quot a BA in economics. He likes to say his degree comes from the Wharton Business School, but Wharton only gives graduate degrees.

The thought of him getting an MBA from Wharton makes me laugh out loud, as I very much doubt that he can even add two two-digit numbers. The way he constantly pulls wild figures out of his ass demonstrates to me that he doesn't even know what numbers are or what their relationship is to actual things.

He has a BA, and I suspect he had what they call "a gentleman's C".

I know more economics than he appears to, and my formal training in economics consists of one macroeconomics course I took when I was an undergraduate.

tell ourselves we do here.
Its the First Commandment.

Its the part of the Contract that establishes an entire governmental appartus that keeps you, or I, or anyone else for that matter, from just deciding that all of us would be greatly served by ONE of us finding this fucker, and, of our own volition, putting his worthless orange head on a spike.
Were talking about kids in dog kennels. Believe me, I want BLOOD for this. Its DUE PROCESS that legally requires me not to engage that which is NOT AMONG the Better Angels of My Nature.
