These would be the same Brits who locked up Tommy Robinson for 13 months in prison for daring to report on the trial of a muslim child rape gang. Teresa May and her entire government can go fuck themselves. How dare she comment on how we handle our border. No trade deal for you, you ungrateful MFers.
Other than members of the NeverTrump resistance, no one gives a shit about this. Certainly not Trump voters. The facts are that 90% of these "children" were unaccompanied minors who somehow got to our border and jumped it. A couple of thousand were with adults who claimed to be their parents, but we have no way to confirm that. Reports are that many of them are obvious frauds, eg grown men with a kid who cannot answer basic questions about "Dad." Next week the media will have a different narrative they will be pushing in lock step to try to keep people worked up. That Russian thing is certainly not cutting it any more.
But in so doing, he has set free and given voice to the supremacist contingent that supports him. So while it may or may not get immigration reform seriously addressed, it will carry with it a stink under Trump because of the way in which he conducted, and continues to conduct, himself. He has been compared to a lot of bad people in history by a lot of different people from different corners in the present. So much for the king of branding, eh?
And the Oscar goes to... Rachel Maddow chokes up on-air over Trump administration's 'tender age' shelters MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow fought back tears Tuesday night as she struggled to read the Associated Press report about the Trump administration’s operation of “tender age” shelters for babies and young children. “This is incredible,” Maddow began. “Trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children …,” she trailed off, becoming emotional. After a brief pause, she continued “… to at least three …” but began to break down again. Maddow then attempted to cut away, asking her producers, “Can we put up the graphic of this? Thank you. Do we have it?” While Maddow tried to finish reading the report, she realized she couldn’t and abruptly ended the segment by throwing to Lawrence O’Donnell, who was reporting live from Brownsville, Texas. Sorry Rachel, I ain't buying it, and it's no sale for good reason. You have a long history of hysterical ranting and raving, overstating and blowing each and everything out of proportion. Your feigned outrage is always lopsided towards your specific political ideology. No tears for the victims of crimes committed by illegals, nary a mention, and if addressed always rationalized, minimized and excused. Save it kid, you're as disingenuous as they come. Not a bad performance though.
Maybe Maddow needs to ask when these shelters were opened.... Oh, it was during the Obama administration.
In a free society we must endure all the voices, the so called supremacists as well as the ever present apologists for the criminal element in our society. Both groups are small in number, but given a platform and a large microphone by the pimping media who sells their vitriol like a smut peddler distributes porn.
Oh, this is rich. LOL https://www.kvue.com/amp/article?se...entId=269-565579684&__twitter_impression=true Fact check: Viral photo of caged child was actually staged as Texas border issues heat up The photo is actually from a June 10 event protesting the Trump administration's immigration policy. A viral photo of a small child crying with his hands gripping the side of a cage that has sparked outrage is not actually from a detention shelter. Posted on Twitter last week by filmmaker and journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, the photo is captioned: "This is what happens when a government believes people are “illegal.” Kids in cages." It has more than 24,000 retweets and 35,000 likes. Below the photo, Vargas writes that he was still trying to find the source of the photo and that he had pulled it from a friend's Facebook timeline. As the heart-wrenching photo made its way across the internet, many began to link its origins to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), drawing a parallel to the almost 2,000 migrant children who have been separated from their parents or guardians, the Department of Homeland Security reported last week. However, the photo of the young boy was actually taken on June 10, 2018 at an event protesting the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy. The boy is not a detainee. The protest featured signs reading: "If you were separated from your child, what would you do?" and "Hey Trump, what if it were your grandchildren in those dog cages? What would you do then?" The Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Monday that they do not have "a policy of separating families at the border." The protest was hosted by the Texas chapter of the Brown Berets de Cemanahuac, an indigenous advocacy organization. The group posted on Facebook a photo gallery of the protest, with the little boy noticeably in the background. The viral image, however, was not featured. "We demand the release of the children being held in a jail and being treated like animals. We will not go away until we have answers!" the Facebook post read. Snopes debunked the photo of the child in the cage. The boy had not been detained by ICE, nor had it resurfaced from 2014 during the "Obama-era" as some internet commenters had claimed. PolitiFact also interviewed the original photographer, Leroy Peña, who said in an interview that the boy had spotted his mother outside the space and began crying and that he was only in the cage for about 30 seconds. Vargas, who originally tweeted the now-viral photo, said in response to criticism as to how his photo was captioned: "Read what I wrote. All I said the photo was this is what happens when a gov't considers people 'illegal.'"
