Nothing at New York Time or CNN says Trump will return children to parents.

So..has Trump stopped doing this? ok, Will he return the children to their parents?? That is not clear..

When do the parents get their children back?..Does anyone know?

Has Trump agreed to return children to their parents? That is really the important idea, that children be reunited with their parents..

Barack Obama: Are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents

Source: CNN

"To watch those families broken apart in real time puts to us a very simple question: are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms, or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together? Do we look away, or do we choose to see something of ourselves and our children?" Obama wrote.

When you are thought as being "wrong", -1972 results. Same will happen, Nov 2018 against Trump

...........................1972 Presidential Election


...................................Electoral Votes ............Popular Vote

Richard M. Nixon........ (I) Republican 520 .........47,160,000
George McGovern............. Democratic 17 .........29,150,000

McGovern was thought to be wrong and ran a lousy campaign. Lots of things went "wrong"...I recall and so do many here.

None of those things compare to the U.S.Government,.. on orders from the President...taking children from their parents....Babies from their parents put in strange rooms...

We are not looking at a "minor loss" for McGovern. McGovern made mistakes that made him look "bad"

Now, Trump ordered the taking of children from their parents. We all know that is wrong. So, when the election comes, a third may be in favor of this crap....But two thirds will be against this and vote with the Democratic Party. It is this country's only voice on this. Yes, the election is more than 4 months away. But people will never forget this..never....Those of us that see this as inhuman, in places where there is "competition" will voice their opinion, just like in 1972. The difference is..Trump is totally evil in what was done...November is the country's chance to voice its opinion.

...... The results will show this truth. .... This holding of children was/is incredibly wrong...... In November where there is competition...the Republicans will lose big. Their largest loss ever. Why? As a vocal protest to this awful, inhuman, thing that Trump did. ....I will be proud when the results come in 4 months and 3 weeks from now.

NY Governor Cuomo's Lawsuit Against Trump Could Be Our Only Hope..

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/governor-cuomo-will-file-lawsuit-against-trump-administration-for-border-separations

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced Tuesday that he will launch a multi-agency lawsuit against the Trump administration for its separations of families at the border, citing the infringement of the constitutional rights of the children and families.

“The Trump Administration’s policy to tear apart families is a moral failing and a human tragedy,” he said. “We will not tolerate the constitutional rights of children and their parents being violated by our federal government. New York will act and file suit to end this callous and deliberate attack on immigrant communities, and end this heartless policy once and for all.”
______________________________________________________________________________________

It might take some time, but if it gets to the Supreme Court, and if the Supreme Court rules this is "illegal" then Trump must return the children to their parents. Once that happens, at least there would be a rule that the parents can get their children back. Doing that, for all, will be very difficult. But the order will be in, and that must be done...

Cuomo Will File Lawsuit Against Trump Administration For Border Separations: TPM

Cuomo likely has multiple motivations for the legal action, as he is currently fighting off primary challenger and actress Cynthia Nixon from the left and wants to boost his liberal credentials.

A member here,. bdamomma,.. just defined Trump..."He's a fucking bully"

Yep that is it, that is who he is, was, always will be ..Only a fucking bully could do something like this, and claim that it is the right thing to do.

It's simple, Trump is too stupid and insensitive to do the right thing.

He thinks he needs to look, "strong" in this situation. He is just too stupid and insensitive to know he does not look "strong", but he looks like an insensitive asshole. He is showing his true self.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
