The Gutless Child Abuser: Donald J. Trump
New York Times editorial:
"Watching President Trump blame Democrats for his administration’s inhumane practice of snatching immigrant children from their parents at the border evokes nothing so much as an abusive husband blaming his wife for the beatings he delivers:
Why do you make me do this? I hate doing this! If you’d only be reasonable and listen to me, things wouldn’t have to be this way.
As anyone paying even minimal attention to politics knows, this immoral policy is not “the Democrats fault for being weak and ineffective with Boarder Security and Crime,” to quote one randomly spelled and capitalized tweet out of three to that effect in a little over 12 hours. It’s not really Republicans’ fault, either — at least not yet.
Both the Obama and George W. Bush administrations began efforts to curtail the flow of people across the southern border, but neither went so far as to pursue a “zero tolerance” approach that tore apart families en masse.
Congress has not passed any bills requiring the practice since then. This bit of nastiness belongs entirely to Mr. Trump — he has made a choice to torment undocumented families — and his attempt to pass the buck is dishonest and gutless.
In other words, it’s what we’ve come to expect when Mr. Trump finds himself in an uncomfortable spot."

And yet the odds are that tRump will likely be re-elected.
Sad-- is the state of America in the era of Trump and very likely beyond.
The Gooper bloggers are blaming the "ENEMEDIA" for reporting Trump's atrocities. The Goopers are fine with Nazi-like detention centers for babies and children.
Sorry folks..."It's the economy,stupid".....to the non-coastal elites between the mountains this issue is low on the totem pole. Real Americans want our borders protected
You "non-coastal elites[sic] are a minority. Trump has pissed off everyone except the 30 percenters. Even a good economy won't save his lying, porn-star shagging fat ass.
Anonymous @12:32, those Goopers never put the blame where it belongs: on the porn-star shagging, multi-marital cheater liar, Trump. They're too embarrassed that they're wallowing in the pig slop pig stye with him.
Sorry anonymous @ 12:53. I have many friends and family in flyover states and I can guarantee you this is top of the totem pole issue for them. They’re not going to sit around like the Germans did in the 30s.

Sorry Ms.Shaw but you folks always latch on and ride an issue that average americans can care less about. You may want to get away from Boston, head to middle America and see what issues really matter to most americans. You do realize Trumps approval ratings continue to rise so it seems he's really not pissing everyone off...maybe just the coastal elites.
Anonymous@1:46, I have family in Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, and Ohio, and close friends in Utah. What you wrote is a lie. They've communicated to me that Trump's detention centers for babies and children who've been snatched from their parents is very much on their minds. Not all Americans are as callous and cruel as Trump and his cultists are. A majority of Americans (and the world) are disgusted with what Trump is doing to innocent children.
Also, I just checked Five-Thirty Eight's site for Trump's approval rating, and it's at bearly 42%, IOW. A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DON'T APPROVE OF THE JOB HE'S DOING. And a majority haven't approved of the stinkin' gestapo-like administration he's running since he was inaugurated in January 2017. Trump has not been able to break 50% since he became preznit. No president in modern times has been as unpopular and hated as Trump is.
Your coming here to spread misinformation and lies is typical of Trump's cultists.
From Five-Thirty Eight, 4 days ago:
Let’s keep things simple this week: Morning Consult just released its latest edition of President Trump’s approval ratings by state. We know generally that Trump is less popular overall than at the start of his term. But there are pretty wide variations in how much his popularity has shifted by state.1
1. Trump’s net approval has declined in all 50 states since he took office
This isn’t totally surprising, as Trump’s net approval rating — the percentage of people who approve of the president minus the percentage who disapprove — has declined nationally since January 2017. But it’s still noteworthy. It often seems as if American politics is split between two immutable camps: Trump loyalists and Trump haters, and neither group ever changes its mind about anything. But the data here suggests more fluidity — and in Trump’s case, the movement is against him. Trump does have near-ironclad support (close to 90 percent approval, according to Gallup) among self-described Republicans nationally. But a Gallup poll conducted last year found that only about 40 percent of U.S. adults identify themselves as either Republicans or leaning toward the GOP. So that remaining 60 percent of the U.S. that identifies as Democrats and independents is likely where Trump has grown more unpopular.
Normal people don't admire porn-star shaggers who cheat constantly on wives and lie to the world about it. Normal people don't admire liars. Normal people don't like politicians who praise murdering thugs like KJU, and who insult our close allies.
The man Anonymous @2:32 is a self-deluded Trump cultists who has no idea how dislike the creep is. However, as long as the Trump cultists continue to visit here, I'll continue to educate the fools.
Evangelicals are why we have trump and religious leaders have to come forward and speak on this evil that is the trump admin hiding behind the veil of Christianity.
Anon - I’m in the middle of the USA and We Are Furious.
Your comment betrays your lack of humanity. Perhaps you need to start over and do better next time?
Grey One talks sass, only 28% of American voters (the Trump cultists) approve of this monstrosity of abusing babies and children. Anonymlous is just like #45. Anonymous repeats lies and makes up facts. He's a minority. 72% of the voting public is FURIOUS with what Trump and his goons are doing to children.
Anonymous is nothing more than an American version of a "Good German."
PM Carpenter:
A Trumpian clusterfuck inside a GOP clusterfuck
Trump believes that his policy of separating children from parents at the southern border is a political winner for him, reports the Washington Post. The Post then provides some polling results, which, in general, Trump is said to be obsessed with. A CNN poll "found that 28 percent of Americans approve of the policy"; a Quinnipiac University poll found a near identical percentage of support.
In light of those statistics, is Trump mistaken as to his separation policy being a political winner — for him? Not at all. It's just that he knows, as do the rest of us, that his base of hardcore support is pathetically small. He can cling to enormously Screen Shot 2018-06-19 at 9.44.06 AMunpopular positions because he is not, after all, the president of the United States. He is the president of Crackpot America.
I love that the leader of the Methodist Denomination of which Jeff Sessions is a member, basically said he's full of it. I guess he missed his NT Theology class as well as how to exegete that Romans passage.
