Adoption? Possibly, to clear any legal hurdles, but do not, DO NOT, even for a brief moment, imagine these children will be loved, protected, guided, parented, any of that. They will be live-in servants, at best. They will be continually reminded of their less-than status with every morsel of food they swallow, every penny spent on their shoes/clothes, any moment they feel the slightest bit happy or comfortable, the "adoptive parents" are going to bomb that feeling into oblivion.

I think it is time we all re watched Scarface - fiction is becoming more a reality every day.

Pay attention to who adopts those little brown kids, too. White Evangelicals have been pursuing their civilizing mission with brown babies for years, and now stand poised to capitalize on the literal human rights violation and act of genocide (as defined by the UN resolution on same, rehoming children with adoptive families of a different ethnicity) being spun up by this profoundly immoral administration.

There you go again, expecting some kind of logic or consistency from the people who create (real) crises, then use them to generate (fake) crises, then push the goalposts around on what constitutes a crisis, and then go full Constitutional Crisis.

Oooooh, am I detecting another alternative to appeasing the Comment Czar? Instead of "with votes" we can now just say we're going to "enthusiastically beknight" deplorables?

A lot of religions sucking at the "Faith-Based Initiatives" teat.

"Just before Mr. Trump signed the order ending the family-separation policy, NBC reported that new "tent cities" built to handle the influx of children cost more than keeping families together."

Wait, is it possible that Drumpf's appetite for cruelty trumped his reputation as a skinflint?

I heard the Queen was going to "knight him," but the Secret Service nixed the idea, believing that even a sweet old Queen could be mightily temped when holding a broadsword to Trumps neck.

Things that make you go hmmmm......According to Cheeto, there is nothing, NOTHING ON EARTH worse than marauding gangs. Refugees are fleeing marauding gangs, and yet DoJ does not feel they have a legitimate reason to seek asylum. Think it's time y'all stopped stealing/disappearing (trafficking?) other people's children and get on the same fuckin' page.

Thanks for the great video. Music really help me with this stuff. Republican presidents inspire great art; perhaps their only upside.

He's supposed to be meeting the Queen. I hope she just ignores him or Phillip says something really insulting.
