Boo Hoo: Trump is "furious about the pummeling he's taken in recent days," the NYT reports

Trump is "furious about the pummeling he's taken in recent days," the NYT reports. In case you wondered who the real victim is here.


NYT reports that, rather than separating children from parents, the Trump administration will hold children indefinitely with their parents, violating a court settlement and inevitably triggering a legal challenge

Later in the executive order is a provision that could roll back longstanding protections for children in federal custody. The text directs Attorney General Jeff Sessions to ask federal courts to modify a decades-old ruling that bars the detention of children by immigration authorities for longer than 20 days. The administration will now ask courts for permission “to detain alien families together throughout the pendency of criminal proceedings for improper entry or any removal or other immigration proceedings” with no set time limit.

3. Take it up with Stephen "Gerbil Goebbels" Miller, pal.

He got you into this. Now get yourself out. Of office.

[janx]

6. Were the separations Miller's idea?

Who came up with this, anyway?

[lagomorph777]

9. Yes, Miller's idea. Of course Turd loved it.

[lunasun]

4. Maybe he will fire someone . He always does when he's down

5. May be a snag in that Nobel Peace Prize plan.

[RockRaven]

7. Of course he'll never blame himself

but one wonders who the whipping boy is gonna be on this one.

[lagomorph777]

10. Miller. It was his idea. Or maybe it was all a setup to fire Sessions.

That might explain why Sessions (Attorney General / Head of DOJ) was the one who announced a new DHS policy. He was pushed out front as the sacrificial piece of shit.

8. Can't they do ANYTHING right?!

They fuck up.all the time. I'm so sick of them.

[Crunchy Frog]

11. If only it would be enough to make him have a stroke.

[OnDoutside]

12. What is NOT addressed is the slow walking at Ports of Entry, forcing people to enter illegally, and

that will force an awful lot of family incarcerations. This is far from the end of it.

[Solly Mack]

13. If only...Trump being pummeled.

[kwassa]

15. Trump always plays the victim fighting back against imaginary foes.

Like some old Charles Bronson or Billy Jack revenge saga.

Maybe one of his brave minions will tell him why the world is outraged. I bet he wouldn't believe it.
