But he went ahead and did it.

And then made hell to torture us forever for something that was entirely his doing.

Then, later, he arranged to be killed (temporarily) because … somehow that helped?

Then swept up all his footprints and hid again; only "forgiving" those who believe that story.


If you'll sign up for that, there's no level of crazy that you won't embrace.

with children. 20 children have died at the border in 2019, most but shamefully not all on the Mexico side without actually being detained. Over 5400 children have been separated from their parents in the past 3 years and these atrocities continue. What they're doing is evil.

BUT, over 76,000 of that half million in 2019 alone were UNACCOMPANIED children.

Of course we should detain unaccompanied children, as our duty to them. And the good news is that unaccompanied minors are transferred to another government agency and most get placed without extreme delay with vetted sponsors, most family and friends, but also caring others.

I hope the ICC is paying attention. tRump has disgraced us and our country, he does not respect anyone except himself.
