Jeff Sessions on Separating Families: 'We Never Really Intended to Do That'
Source: Mediate

Attorney General Jeff Sessions went on record recently defending family separation at the border. He invoked the Bible when defending the policy.
And back in May, Sessions publicly stated, If you are smuggling a child then we will prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you as required by law. If you dont like that, then dont smuggle children over our border.
Today, after the executive order the President signed yesterday, the Attorney General spoke with CBNs David Brody, who said, The media narrative out there has been the administration caving to pressure, that these optics have not been good for the administration.
It hasnt been good, Sessions said. And the American people dont like the idea that were separating families. We never really intended to do that. What we intended to was to make sure that adults who bring children into the country are charged with the crime theyve committed instead of giving that special group of adults immunity from prosecution.

(20,998 posts)Yes, you fucking malignant, evil little elf, you and the Orange Anus* you work for MOST CERTAINLY meant to split up families. YOU SAID AS MUCH! And now that the ENTIRE WORLD knows that you're an evil piece of shit, and even your church hates you, you're gonna try and walk this one back?
I. DO. NOT. THINK. SO.
Serving as Chief House Elf for a sociopath has consequences and here's hoping you and your boss both get "invited" to appear at The Hague.

It makes me physically sick. These bastards need to be stopped.

(3,289 posts)Like they put this policy in place, and shortly thereafter they realized they had a captive population of children? Did some jackwagon from ICE look around one day and say "Heeeeeey, wait a second! These cages weren't full of kids yesterday!" Then he got on the horn to DC and everyone there was just as surprised as he was. I mean really, it's an easy mistake to make. Who among us hasn't accidentally imprisoned thousands of kids, right? It's like losing your car keys, it happens to lots of people...

Sessions is mentioned in that article as agreeing with Trump and being part of the Trump Child Abductions plot.

How about we make them learn this song with choreography and costumes and perform it show-choir style at the next press briefing?

(6,881 posts)They have never thought any of this through. They thought they were so much smarter than previous administrations who understood where this policy would lead. Then they rashly changed course. Without thinking it through. Now they have a huge mess. A huge trap of their own making. One wonders if Trump's biggest fault is not so much callousness as it is incompetence.

(6,881 posts)The lies have become so thick and persistent from Trump that the only way to avoid fake news is to not repeat anything they say. It's total bullshit. All of it. Truth is reality TV. Putin won.

(3,289 posts)Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper have done it quite a bit. More importantly, I've seen SE Cupp and Ana Navarro both calling Trump and his cronies out. They're both conservative commentators, so hopefully that'll blunt the "angry liberals" narrative Trump likes to spew about negative coverage.
leftynyc
(26,060 posts)not Democrats. None of their doing their job now takes away from the fact they're ALL responsible for giving donnie all that free air time to spew his vomit all over the airways. They helped get him elected by pretending Hillary's emails was a real scandal and spending months whining about them.
