I might not be the first one to see the irony in how people who are against a law that allows snatching "babies" out of a mother's womb support a law that allows snatching babies from a mother's arms, but the sight and sounds of those cages full of crying infants will haunt the Republican base in the future.

The guy cannot win against the Liberal media but lets hope he keeps trying unlike Bush that stopped and was still ridiculed.





If this border situation has shown us anything it is that our border is a mess with thousands of illegal immigrants still trying to get through despite Trump. Imagine if Hillary had won? She would probably be bouncing a bill around today that would require us all to learn Spanish so our newly amnestied neighbors won't feel bad.
There IS NO EXISTING LAW mandating that children be separated from their parents. If there were such a law, how could Trump be fixing it with an EO?

Either (1) stop believing that lie; or (2) stop spreading it.

And kudos for bringing up Hillary. Gotta keep those deflecting skills sharp since nothing else is working.

Well provide some data for your claim.


lets see the numbers, the facts, the dates?


If what you are saying is true surely someone somewhere has provided the proof...
Now we all know that you can't , because it is clearly not true. But go ahead and make me look the fool if you can. I say you can't show that Obama was doing anything even vaguely like this boneheaded Trump policy egregiously splitting up families.

Absolutely chilling.

“Congress and the courts created this problem, and Congress alone can fix it. Until then, we will enforce every law we have on the books to defend the sovereignty and security of the United States.” — Nielsen

“It's not a policy. Our policy at DHS is to do what we're sworn to do, which is to enforce the law.” — Nielsen

“The only [other] option is to not enforce the law at all.” — Nielsen

“I don't want children taken away from parents. And when you prosecute the parents for coming in illegally, which should happen, you have to take the children away. Now we don't have to prosecute them, but then we're not prosecuting them for coming in illegally.” — Trump

“You can’t do it through an executive order.” — Trump


Less than an hour ago trump signed the EO.

He's dead meat now...Washington smells blood in the water. Adios, Donnie Boy. When you cave big time, you are powerless.

See? No spin necessary with you have the truth on your side.

Can people note how Trump was lying yesterday when he said only Congress can do this?
