Wonder which version of the Bible Sessions and Huckabee Sanders read? Using the Bible to support the Republican policy of separating children from their families is abhorrent. Apparently there are no depths to which this Administration (or should I call it regime which is more fitting with its authoritarianism) will not sink. But I guess there are those here who support that. Very sad.

Maybe they would understand the Bible better if it could be taught in public school...

The president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) declared "immoral" the immigration policy of separating migrant children from their parents on Wednesday. “Our government has the discretion in our laws to ensure that young children are not separated from their parents and exposed to irreparable harm and trauma. Families are the foundational element of our society and they must be able to stay together,” USCCB's president, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, announced at its biannual meeting in Fort Lauderdale, according to the Religion News Service. “Separating babies from their mothers is not the answer and is immoral,” DiNardo added in opening remarks at the large conference. thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/392166-catholic-bishops-call-policy-separating-migrant-families-immoral

Exactly.... On a side note I'm getting a nice laugh imagining the right wing freak out if a nice school in Boerum Hill Brooklyn started teaching islam in school...

I've never seen anybody lie this easily and unrepentantly.. And his ignorant base believes him and the Republicans on the Hill are complicit with their silence. I guess they forgot the oath they took was to the Constitution, not to the Trump Regime.

So basically Trump used his charity as a piggy bank for campaign expenses, legal fees and personal gifts. In the DA's petition there's an actual picture of a note that is clearly in Trump's handwriting directing his charitable foundation to use funds to settle a legal issue involving Mar-a-lago. That's horribly unethical and definitely illegal. The man who talks about the proper way to show patriotism held a fundraiser for Veterans, only gave them half the money, kept the rest for himself, and bragged about it on the campaign trail. He put on a huge show, solicited many small dollar donations under the promise of giving their donations to veterans, and once the lights turned off he promptly put the money into his pocket. The same people talking about draining the swamp used the charitable contributions it received as a personal and political slush fund. The NY AG presented tons of evidence supporting the assertion that the President of the United States and the First Family are crooks who shouldn't be allowed to run a Charity. And it's only a story for a couple hours..... Never understand how people think Trump is treated differently. This would be a massive scandal in any other administration..

The Chinese menu approach is a tough sell..

So disgusted with what is going on in this country. There should be a revolution until the republican powers that be and Trump are removed from the face of the earth. And to make matters worse, there are Georgetown fans and posters that have anything to do with such sins as Trump and his people commit on a daily basis. I am very upset. Have to sit here and breath deeply, remembering Trump and republican apologists will burn in Hell.

It's so disturbing that the US is doing this. And then the lies and misdirection by the Trump administration in response... They continue to find new lows.

For similar spikes during the 20th century, see Germany and South Africa.

And to make matters worse, there are Georgetown fans and posters that have anything to do with such sins as Trump and his people commit on a daily basis. I am very upset. Have to sit here and breath deeply, remembering Trump and republican apologists will burn in Hell. Hoyas in Trump Regime or otherwise supporters: Secretary of DHS, Kirsjten Nielsen F '94 OMB Director Mick Mulvaney F '89 Paul Manafort 'MSB 71, L '74 Eric Trump MSB '06 Steve Bannon F' 83 (Masters National Security Studies, probably paid for by US Navy when he was on active duty) President Trump’s praise Friday for Kim Jong Un’s authoritarian rule in North Korea — and his apparent envy that people there “sit up at attention” when the 35-year-old dictator speaks — marked an escalation of the American president’s open embrace of totalitarian leaders around the world. Reflecting on his impressions of Kim following their Singapore summit, Trump told Fox News: “He’s the head of a country, and I mean he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different. He speaks, and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.” It was unclear whether Trump was referring to Americans generally or only to his staff. His interview took place along the West Wing driveway, and as the president talked about “my people,” he gestured toward the White House. Later, when pressed by a CNN reporter about the comment, Trump claimed it had been a joke. “I’m kidding,” he said. “You don’t understand sarcasm.” Whether jesting or not, no U.S. president has been as free in his admiration of dictators and absolute power as the 45th, historians say. And Trump’s interest in the subject seems to be growing as he becomes better acquainted with some of the world’s authoritarian leaders, including Kim, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom Trump said he may try to meet one-on-one this summer. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/dictator-envy-trumps-praise-of-kim-jong-un-marks-embrace-of-totalitarian-leaders/2018/06/15/b9a8bbc8-70af-11e8-afd5-778aca903bbe_story.html?utm_term=.3da77be58c3a

So assuming all of what the IG has reported was going on, how did Obama miss this?
He is after all a super genius. How could all of this mischief take place under his nose ?

Nobody knows what you're referring to but maybe because he believes in the independence of the DOJ and the FBI? That used to be a good thing, but once you've gone tin pot dictator you can't go back I guess...
Seems like when you're a Republican you don't really stand for much other than the other guy is bad...

Still astonished that the guy lecturing people on the proper way to show their patriotism held a fundraiser for veterans and put half the money in his pocket. That certainly looks like they broke the law... .
