in light of the egregious new policy of separating children from their families, pulling babies from the breast, what can we DO? Let’s brainstorm my friends.
This one has crossed a line of actual extreme cruelty and dehumanization that cannot be forgotten by the next scandal.
I’ll start:
Write faith leaders encouraging them to speak out to their flocks on this
Write Congress
Brand supporters of this without giving a bit of slack- we must brand these folks with this- this happens by repetition and focus on this. This is is how conservatives beat us- focus on an issue or two and pound and pound and pound it... we must return the favor.
What else can we do???
I guess we need to jail Obama for making such a turrible law...
REPORTER: “Mr. President, do you agree with children being taken away —”
TRUMP: “No, I hate it. I hate the children being taken away. The Democrats have to change their law. That’s their law. Quiet, quiet. That’s the Democrats’ law. We can change it tonight. We can change it right now. I will leave here — no, no. You need their votes. You need their votes. The Democrats, all they have to do —”
REPORTER: “You control both chambers of Congress, the Republicans do.”
TRUMP: “Excuse me, by one vote? We don’t need it. You need 60 votes.”
REPORTER: “You control the House.”
TRUMP: “Excuse me, we have a one-vote edge. We need 60. So we need 10 votes. We can’t get them from the Democrats. Wait, wait, we can’t do it through an executive order.”
He added, “The children, the children can be taken care of quickly, beautifully and immediately. The Democrats forced that law upon our nation. I hate it.”
Fact Check: False. No party has enacted any law that forces immigration officials to separate immigrant children from parents who illegally cross the border. The practice is the result of the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy favoring the prosecution of anyone who crosses the border illegally. White House officials and Republican lawmakers have
previously cited a 1997 settlement of a class-action lawsuit, in which the government agreed to detain children under humane conditions and release them promptly. But that settlement does not mandate the detainment of parents.
“The children, the children can be taken care of quickly, beautifully and immediately. The Democrats forced that law upon our nation. I hate it.”
The children, the children. We can take care of them quickly and beautifully.
Damn you Obama! Damn you Hillary! Damn you Comet Ping Pong!
I think I am going to puke.
