Good night, GOP of Trump
Cracking down on illegal immigration was never going to be pleasant, but this?
Its worse than you think. The travesty of separating children from their undocumented, migrant parents was less about cracking down as a policy than about President Trumps bet-winning. If Niccolo Machiavelli hadnt been born, Trump would have hired someone to write The Prince or his more likely title, The King explaining why his merciless means justify the ends of his majestic self-ardor.
Reports from hell, which weve finally located at the U.S.-Mexico border, have confirmed that this president will do anything to get his way. Weve seen the image of the 2-year-old crying while her mother is frisked by a Border Patrol agent. Weve read of the father who, separated from his wife and 3-year-old last month, apparently killed himself while in custody.
When Marco Antonio Muñoz, 39, was taken into custody and away from his little boy, he basically went nuts. Wouldnt you? Or, as a Border Patrol agent told The Post, The guy lost his [expletive]. They had to use physical force to take the child out of his hands.
Well, just great. Physically removing a toddler from his fathers arms would make this parent go insane. Owing to his belligerence and combativeness, Muñoz was taken to a more secure county jail 40 miles away, where one officer described him as having the look of a guy at a bar who wanted to fight someone. Ill bet.
Alas, Muñoz was found dead the next morning, lying on the floor of his padded cell with a piece of clothing around his neck and blood puddled around his nose.
What, one wonders, would it take to convince Trump that hes wrong? That this policy of separation must stop yesterday? The trauma suffered by many of the nearly 2,000 children being held in government detention centers especially by the very young ones is excruciating to consider. Indeed, two-thirds of Americans oppose Trumps tactic of trying to force Democrats to essentially pay for the wall. Who knew there were so many Mexicans in the U.S. Congress?
Of course, you remember, Mexico was going to pay for it. In an essential use of profanity, former Mexican president Vicente Fox responded by confirming what many of us knew from the beginning: Well never pay for that [expletive-ing] wall.

Just make it end.
And, ps...not sure this situation has anything to do with ardor. I would accept self-loathing.
But, seriously...the end?
