A couple of hours ago, Trump finally caved on his idiotic immigration policy that was separating thousands of innocent kids from their parents who were trying to apply for asylum.  Since the beginning of May, over 2,300 children have been ripped from the arms of their parents and been spread all over the country while the parents were randomly jailed elsewhere.  There was apparently NO system to keep track of these children, and the morons running the program for Trump, including Kirstjen Nielson, head of homeland security, were completely clueless how to even run a program like this.  It was a slow motion train wreck, but Trump stubbornly clung to his idiocy until even the mouth breathers in Congress recognized the disaster and backed away from him.

The Trump Desert Sands Tent Resort was a complete disaster, and it came out today that running those tents cost $775 PER NIGHT PER CHILD to house them detained there.  The administration has no clue how they’re going to reunite these families, or where they’re going to house them.

This is just another example of Trump’s Tweet First, Ignore the Consequences style of governing.  He doesn’t have the slightest clue what he’s doing, but we do know one thing.  It’s really stupid for him to follow the advice of his in-house white supremacists to establish policy.

Jesus, what a catastrophe.

There’s a place for Anger, and THIS is it.

Steve Schmidt, McCain campaign manager and prominent Republican strategist, announced last night that he’s left the Republican Party.  His reasons are Trump and his “zero tolerance” border fail that’s consuming our entire country.  Here’s the tweet:

FFS.  Word is now finally getting out that HUNDREDS of now termed “tender age”  children are being housed in multiple undisclosed, locations.  These babies, and younger girls, are being held, gestapo style, in secret locations, conditions unknown, identification of detainees unknown.

Let’s make sure everyone gets it…Trump – this disgusting sumbitch, has ripped unknown numbers of unidentified children from unknown mothers, held in unknown locations.  Welcome to the destruction of morality and decency in America.

THIS MUST STOP NOW!

Call your congressvarmint. Demand a halt to this immoral and illegal action by your government.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.  Enough is enough.  There is a place for anger.  and THIS is it!

Today, the US announced it is withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Commission Trumping up (no pun intended) charges of bias against Israel and the US.  Democracy dies in darkness.  And it is closing in.

Yesterday, Kirstjen Nielson, White House aide who was elevated to Secretary of Homeland Security last year after John Kelly was moved to chief of staff, gave up whatever was left of her reputation yesterday by standing at the briefing room podium lying to the American people in a continuous stream.  Most infuriating is her repeating ad nauseam that the brand new, cruel policy of separating children from parents who are fleeing violence and corruption in their home countries is not a policy, but a non-existent law passed by Democrats.  This outrageous lie, whipped up by in-house white supremacist Stephen Miller and repeated continuously by Jeff Sessions and Trump himself, is shameful.  To utter it from a White House podium is inexcusable.

Let’s be clear here – Nielson is lying when she says that she is “enforcing the laws passed by Congress”.  Technically, she is correct, but her agency CREATED this problem, and then enforcing a law that doesn’t need to be used.  Here’s how she is doing that: Refugees are coming to ports of entry to ask for asylum.  They are being turned away at those ports of entry because ICE has slowed entry to a trickle.  After days of waiting on bridges and in lines, they are crossing illegally in desperation, then turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents.  THAT’S when the “zero tolerance” policy is at its most cruel; these refugees are then arrested, thus “enforcing the laws passed by Congress”, their children are taken by force because children can’t be jailed with their parents.  This problem is wholly created by Trump and sycophants, then lied about from the podium of the White House briefing room.  It’s immoral and criminal.

The UN Human Rights Office has condemned this new practice as unconscionable and declared it “state sponsored child abuse”.  Republicans have finally awoken from their gerrymandered-in coma and are now speaking out against this new policy.  However, at the eye of this storm is Kirstjen Nielson, who is blatantly lying for Donald Trump trying to get back in his good graces after privately opposing this new policy.  This is what I don’t get about people like Nielson who sell their souls to a cretin like Trump.  What do they gain from that?  Why are they clinging to likely the most immoral president in US history?  How do people like Nielson sleep at night?  How can they do this day after day?  What are they planning on doing AFTER destroying their own reputations and then being cast aside?

Whatever rationalization Nielson adopted to justify this, it’s our duty, as Americans, to hound her out of office.  Maybe we can’t get rid of Trump (yet), but we can certainly deprive him of the tools he uses to prosecute his idiotic policies and repeat his lies and enable his immoral conduct.

All of us are aware of Trump stupidly supporting arming teachers in public schools to supposedly protect little children from mass shooters who have easy access to weapons of war.  NOW, his irresponsible budget slashing is placing the same requirement on healthcare workers, counselors, and teachers working in federal prisons.  Mindless budget slashing (while handing out over a trillion dollars of tax cuts to billionaires) has created a critical shortage of prison guards in facilities housing our most dangerous criminals.

The idiocy of this cretin infesting the White House is destroying lives, dragging down the economy, and now putting professional healthcare workers and teachers in harms way, just because.

There’s a time for anger, and this is it.
