(Ed.'s Note: The zero-tolerance policy announced by U.S. Attorney Jeff Sessions has been unceremonioulsy disavowed by his boss Donald Trump, who now insists that it was never his administration's intent to separate children from their parents.
The the nation's First Old Lady Melania arrives in the Rio Grande Valley with a $39 overcoat with the crass sign on her back that states "I Really Don't Care, Do U?," and is led to a deluxe migrant shelter for minors without being exposed to the conveyor-line process for handling unaccompanied migrant minors.
And in the dead of the night, hundreds of these minors are shipped all over the United States and their parents are told nothing of their whereabouts. It took a lawsuit for one Guatemalan mother to be reunited with her child. Will it take thousands more?
Melania Trump left saying that the children were very happy and friendly. Trump later pitches in and contradicts Melania spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham. "It's a jacket," she told CNN. "There was no hidden message."
Trump Tweeted that indeed there was a message, but that it was for the "Fake News Media."
CNN's Chris Cillizza hit it right on the nose. Of course, Melania and her advisers knew what message she was sending us in the Rio Grande Valley. She just didn't care.
"There simply aren't coincidences like this in politics," Cillizza wrote. "Particularly in a situation like this one with this first lady. Melania Trump knew her surprise visit to the border would draw massive amounts of media attention. Given that, wouldn't you think she and her staff would be even more attentive to which signals she was sending?
"Of course you would think that. Because it's the only conclusion that a) makes any sense and b) comports with what we know about the first lady and her staff. In politics, as in life, the obvious answer is almost always the right one."
Sessions has shown that he is ready and willing to be his boss' whipping boy, as has just about every other Trump appointee. When they refuse, they are shown the door. The people of the United States can send a message to these insensitive clods occupying the White House starting in the November mid-term elections. Will they?)

Don't take out your frustration with Trump on his poor wife. I thought she was referring to the media who was going to attack her for the cost of the clothes that she wears, so she was telling them how it is - she could give a damn. Leave her alone. She is already having to put up with that idiot of a husband and trying to protect her baby boy -Barron. I feel for him also.
Liberals think that when you are conservative with different opinions you are racist,xenophobic,nazi, white supremacist, etc.
Conservatives think that when you are liberal with different opinions you are a person with bad ideas.
NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE.
Whatever keeps these illegals away
What is good for the Goose is good for the Gander, treat all people equal. Trump will soon know what it feels like to be separated, can we demand a DNA test on Baron?, he is no different than the other children.
That is the price you pay for being an illegal, it doesn't matter who you are.
Throw the bums out. But, sadly, the voters won't. They put them there in the first place. In much of America, ignorance, presumably, is bliss.
Trump is making the tyrannical claim that he has the right to serve as prosecutor, judge and jury, that is a breathtaking assertion of unbounded power — power without any plausible limit. Who and what is next for this racist republican president.
It is so unusual for somebody in office to move forward and get something done. Liberals and the generally ignorant are so blinded by rage and hate of ‘that man’ that they can’t see the true change and progress that is happening in this country. Unfortunately most of America has been dumbed down by all things media that there are no truly deep beliefs or convictions about anything. How the fuck are the Kartrashians news? We are becoming an Idiocracy.

Yea like pruitt and many others just like him, the unusual is that they want to treat their public positions as if it is their own business and so as they please. If they stay there and nothing is ever done THEN WE WILL BE AN IDIOCRACY...
"The name of a 15-year-old juvenile "WHO RAN AWAY" from the Southwest Key Programs facility in Brownsville", the herald and "Southwest Key Programs spokesperson Jeff Eller in a statement said: As a licensed child care center, if a child attempts to leave any of our facilities, we cannot restrain them. We are not a detention center". the herald again.
Even the Brownsville Herald is corrupt (reporting)so what else is new in this 3rd world city, add that to the LONG list of corrupt entities in this 3rd WORLD CITY...
