Nothing so personifies the administration’s lack of humanity coupled with its utter cowardice as its attempt to duck responsibility for the very “shock and awe” immigration policy Trump demands his attorney general and secretary of homeland security carry out.

There are several issues intertwined. Trump would have us believe he is responsible for none of the suffering inflicted on immigrant youth. The facts tell us something quite different.

First is the issue of nearly 1,500 missing children. These were unaccompanied minors whom the administration has, unbelievably, lost in the system. It is both morally and legally accountable for these children. Congress’s failure to conduct adequate oversight is yet another example of the Republicans’ abdication of its oversight responsibilities.

Second is the issue of detaining children, accompanied or not, for a limited period of time. This was started during the Bush administration and continued under the Obama administration. However, there is no requirement to break up families. That was Trump’s choice.

That brings us to the third issue: Trump’s recent “no tolerance” policy that jails anyone suspected of crossing illegally. The practical effect of this is separating children, even very young children, from parents. The Post explains:

3. Murder Klown is a Reality Painter.

And not a good one. For Really Stupid Or Sick People Only.

Every day he is president the USA reveals how pathetic and undereducated we truly are.

4. No and he will serve a second term

when The evangelicals are ok with genocide and internment camps and only white people will be able to vote we are screwed.

I go back and forth between being pessimistic and optimistic. Today the more pessimistic reading the rethugs care less about having amoral president. And polls show the election could go towards rethugs with twitler and Russian muddling the water of disinformation.

5. Republicans Hate Our Children

Losing them
Caging them
Getting them shot at school
No food for them
No healthcare for them
No education for them
A toxic environment for them

6. We always think the good will win out

not just in the movies - we thought that about WWII, the fall of communism. It just seems like the Dotard has to lose someday, somehow.
