lovemydogs's JournalTrump Hotels
I heard that last night on MSNBC. I don't remember who said it but, they called the tent city Trump Hotel.
I have an idea.
Let's start calling the prisons that the immigrants and their children are being housed in Trump Hotels.
Imagine if that caught on and Trump heard people calling these Prisons Trump Hotel.
Even call the migrants and the kids, guests of his Hotel.
That would really get to him.
This is What Happens to the Kids Taken From Parents at the Border
This morning on C-span's Washington Journal the guest, Sarah Pierce from the Migrant Policy Institute, a non partisan Study Group, is on to discuss the crisis of Trump's policy of separating the kids from parents at the border.
She said the parents are automatically put into the custody of the Federal Authorities and within days are taken to a mass trial at court. Then the parents are immediately sent back to the country they came from - without being reunited with their kids.
The kids are effectively kidnapped and made orphans by Trump's Government.
Eventually they are either sent to live with sponsors - family member here in the country or put into foster care.
Many family members will not come because the Trump Administration will finger print them and send those prints to Homeland Security, given to ICE.
So we have babies and toddlers kidnapped from their parents and made orphans and dumped into the foster care system.
We have traumatized kids who the workers are not allowed to comfort or touch left in limbo for months only to be 'lost' in a system while the parents in another country are helpless and do not know what happened to their children.
This is our America today
Tone Deaf Media and the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal
I am not a hardcore Clinton fan. I disagreed with many of his centrist policies. But, I well remember the unfairness of the media pile on that the media took for 8 years.
I never understood why the media had a problem with the Clintons but, it began before he took office in 1992. And its never stopped.
The Trump fans who complain of people being mean to Trump have nothing compared to what the media did to Bill and Hillary Clinton in the 1990s. It was brutal.
As a woman I am upset with the tone deafness of the media in regards to the Lewinsky scandal and Bill Clinton.
The MeToo Movement is not about consensual sex.
It is about women being forced to have sex, being raped, being harassed by powerful men with their jobs and careers held hostage as a result.
These are surviors.
Monica Lewinsky was a 24 year old college graduate in the late 90s. She was not a 16/17 novice in the world.
She knew what sex was about.
And Bill Clinton did not force her to have sex. He did not hold her career hostage.
It was consensual.
Clinton was wrong in general to be chasing after young women to begin with. He was wrong for his career of sexual encounters with women while married.
And wrong for lying
Both parties were wrong.
But, the media is ganging up to condemn Clinton as if he was like Bill Cosby or Donald Trump (who forced himself on women, many perfect strangers).
I feel they are using the MeToo movement as an excuse to go after Bill Clinton just like it was 1998.
