How long till some, (I said some) republicans take a strong stand against Trump?

1. Collusion with Russia during election
2. Taking children from parents
3. Admiring dictators like Kim, arguing with friends like Trudeau
4. Horrible reaction to Puerto Rico disaster
5. Total attitude of "uncaring" about anyone but himself...
6. Acting like a dictator on many occasions...

Will any of them, either republican leadership or just members of Congress call him out for what he is and has done? ...totally and completely? Or, are they all just plain chickensh*t"

I believe that soon, very soon a one or two will take a strong stand against Trump..
... Maybe it will be those not running for re-election. Or maybe someone who has nothing to lose. Maybe Flake or McCain I don't know. But someone of them, ?? will take a stand against him. Taking children from parents is awful beyond words....

I think we will hear world condemnation of Trump taking children from their parents.

It is a matter of time. He and his clan will have to defend this often...When he does defend this, it could destroy any positive reaction from the North Korean "peace trip"..

Trump Says He got The Korean Idea..from Putin..TPM

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/its-almost-like-a-pattern

From The Wall Street Journal, January 18, 2018. The reference to “around the same time” is summer 2017, just after President Trump met with Vladimir Putin in Hamburg at the G-20 Summit......Around the same time, Mr. Trump had an idea about how to counter the nuclear threat posed by North Korea, which he got after speaking to Russian President Vladimir Putin : If the U.S. stopped joint military exercises with the South Koreans, it could help moderate Kim Jong Un’s behavior.

It is "illegal" to take children from parents without a trial.

Now...where does it say this?????

.Amendment 6 from the "Bill of Rights" ( First 10 Amendments of Constitution)

- Rights of Accused Persons in Criminal Cases

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.


Please note one word "all"

First 4 words ."In all criminal prosecutions.."

all means all.. it does not mean some, or a few, or immigrants, or whatever.
all means all When this gets into court, all children will be released.

Why no outrage at taking children away from parents?

Sometimes people are too busy to stop and think about news...

.And there is an assumption that it really can't be that bad..
example one:
.....For example: .... 65 people killed in hurricane..?? Here is what I imagined that people thought..(well 65 is not too bad... After all...it was a major storm)

4600 people killed in a hurricane.............OH MY, Awful....... !!!!!!!!
______________________________________________________________________________________
example two:

..Republicans have nominated for President of the U.S.A. a complete idiot and a fool...A selfish person who only thinks of himself all the time. reaction then...oh come on. Trump is in charge of a major business, and a TV personality...Certainly if that were true, we would have heard about it already...(also...."liberal news sources always lie" )

Now.....It appears that Trump is insane..look at his behavior..I don't believe it!!!!! Why weren't we told about this...??

_____________________________________________________________________________________

example three:

Border police are illegally taking children from their parents.....first reaction....
"It is only a few, nobody is being hurt, it is temporary..don't worry it will be worked out in a few days"

..reality sets in.......Our country cannot be taking children from their parents...NO...This cannot be true.
But it is true. Look at the pictures. (today 6/14/) we have pictures. Impossible, not in the U.S.A can't be true.
....And, it is not a few, it is hundreds of children taken from parents.

NO...NOT IN THE USA....

Conclusion..& my opinion. Reality will indeed set in. Trump has incarcerated hundreds of children and taken them from their parents...Trump ordered it. It is illegal. He ordered this without legal authority. In the U.S.A we do not take children from their parents without a legal procedure and a trial and a verdict...When this hits the majority of people in the U.S., Trump is done and so is the Republican Party. I think it will take time because nobody can believe....it is hundreds...not just a few....and remember this thinking..well these are minority people not citizens, they have no rights..........
..
But this will also sink in.....The U.S Constitution basically says there must be a trial by jury for illegal activity...Everyone is entitled to a trial...even people trying to gain entrance to the U.S.A. illegally. The government cannot legally take children from their parents without a trial....
. ....proof that the Constitution says this.....


b].Amendment 6

Taking children from their parents is illegal, unethical, immoral, stupid, evil, and wrong.

From what I understand, there must be a trial and verdict to take children from their parents. Sadly, this is the most racist action the U.S. Government has done in decades. This is being done by the U.S.A. in the name of.......... the law....

. And.........The truth is.... These are..not white people.....

.......................Just one question to everyone who reads this...............................

....How would you and your parents feel if when you 8 years old and traveling with your parents, get stopped by an officer, and the officer takes you away from your parents. With no legal action..just takes you away from them....what seems forever............and could be forever.......? ,,,,

Showbiz ..Stormy Daniels in person in Chicago, June 14,15, &16..(what to expect)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chicagoinc/ct-ent-stormy-daniels-chicago-admiral-theatre-20180612-story.html

At the Admiral Theater in Chicago.....

before you read the story...I looked up some more info on this. Only one night's tickets are available.Sat night
.The cost per ticket is $50.00 per ticket. ________________________________________________________________________________________

Chicago Tribune, June 12, Tuesday..
_________________________________________________________________________________________

Sam Cecola plays coy when pressed for details about Stormy Daniels’ upcoming three-night run at his Admiral Theatre strip club in Albany Park.

“It's hard to kind of keep the surprise in the show if I tell you everything that’s going to go on,” Cecola told the Tribune by phone.

Not much has been left to the imagination since it was reported earlier this year that Daniels, a veteran pornographic film actress and director, had an alleged affair with President Donald Trump and received hush money shortly before the 2016 election. She embarked on a national stripping tour to capitalize on this newfound fame.

Daniels is set to perform five shows at the Admiral starting Thursday, which happens to be the day Trump turns 72. Cecola said his team suggested Daniels celebrate Trump’s birthday in her Thursday act, but it doesn’t seem like that wish will come true.

“We had said that if she could come out on the stage and lip sync ‘Happy Birthday, Mr. President’ the way Marilyn Monroe did to Jack Kennedy, we thought it would be cute, and the audience would appreciate it,” Cecola said. “But she says she has about 10 different shows and different costumes that she does, and she doesn’t want to change from that routine because those routines are well-rehearsed and perfected, and she doesn’t want to disappoint the audience.

Representatives for Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, did not respond to a Tribune request for comment. She is scheduled to perform one show Thursday and two shows each Friday and Saturday at the Admiral. All but the final show were sold out as of Tuesday morning. Each show is expected to last 45 minutes, Cecola said.

(rest of story is at link above...yes, this is a real story..not made up by some YO-YO from the moon)

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.
