The Trump Policy of Separating Families at the US Border

[redwood66]

Redwood, you are the base. And Maria you are spot on.

Glad you feel better.

 

[soxfan]

I guess if that's what you are after, sure. I just want the Presidency of the United States to not be a frigging joke any more. I don't even know what to tell my kids. It's like I'm living in another universe.

My husband works for a company based in France. We have actually talked about moving. It's kind of that embarrassing....

 

[bludiva]

I think it’s unbelievably inappropriate for a First Lady to wear anywhere, for any meeting or event. How trashy can you get?

My guess is she chose it very carefully for an audience of one.

We all want a lot of things and we don't always get everything we want. Why do you say I am the base? What does that even mean?

 

[Matata]

Uh oh, Imma gonna go and pop me a bowl of triple buttered popcorn with a vodka tonic to wash it all down.

 

[Bluegemz]

I have dual citizenship as an American/German. Believe me, @soxfan , my family has considered it too. But, I believe we have to stay and fight first.

Respectable Republicans are leaving the party. The rest left are Trumpians. You don't see how this has just absolutely killed the right? It's over. I honestly don't think the republican party can come back from this. It will be in the history books (well, the interwebs, but that is all fake news, right?) This is just bad all around. All because no one could deal with a woman president following a colored president.

The most QUALIFIED candidate in Presidential history. She outranked every single previous President in education, experience, and service to her country. But her emails.....

I can't do this any more. Like I really can't. The right offers NOTHING but "oh it's our turn now!!" Deflect and defend. They will believe ANYTHING Trump tells them, they watch Foxnews 24/7, akin to putting fingers in their ears and yelling "blah blah blah" when someone tries to present them with facts.

Enjoy the mess you created. The middle of the road republicans will vote in the next election, along with the democrats who thought this was a no-brainer- I mean, WHO would have though this asshat would be running our country? I didn't. They will vote and that is a LOT of votes.

He will never get a second term. And if he does, The USA might never recover on a global platform.

But enjoy that 401k. All I hear from my bigoted uneducated racist family is "Well, my 401k never did that good under Obama!" You'll need it because they just planned to cut all your medicare, medicaid and Social Security. But hey, doesn't affect you, right? Get that budget down!

Was this meant as a discussion or a rant?

How the hell could this be a discussion that could include you when you have 5 different opinions and rants on Melania's $37 jacket? I'm not even being rude, I'm just trying to save myself the frustration.

As usual, DF skidding in sideways with a comment 100% COMPLETELY off topic.

So am I. You're not even being rude? That's a good one. I am all in for a civil discussion.

I don't give one whit about Melania's jacket btw.

I watch MSNBC and CNN. btw; Trump will run as a Dem. in 2020 and he'll win a 2nd term. He'll become the only Prez. in US history to have had served both parties.

I gotta go feed and cuddle my chickens now. I am a good chicken mama. My chickens are in cages to protect them from hawks and raccoons. They do like to peck on the lower socioeconomic status chickens (ie: millennials,) but like the good dem I am, I make sure they don't do much damage.

But really, I just like them better than people.

[stracci2000]

^This. She was fully aware of what she was doing. She knew it would associated with her visit to migrant children. Poor judgment, poor taste, and, feckless.

Feckless...... !!!!!!

 

[Calliecake]

Melania is as disgusting as her husband. She chose to wear that jacket. She knew there would be photographers at the site where she boarded the plane. She also knew she was going to see children who are separated from their parents at the border. This was to send a message to Trumps base. A message to her husband would be seeing a divorce attorney.

What kind of person wears that jacket the day she goes to see these children that been separated from their parents. Being separated from your parents when you are a child is emotional torture. The trauma these children have been thru can last lifetime. The Trumps have no shame.

If your administration lies multiple times a day you should expect the press to call you out. This wasn’t meant for the press or her husband.

At this point any person who chooses to defend Trump is telling me everything I need to know about their character. We have all heard the tapes of these children crying.

Bless your heart DF.

I still love all the liberals here. Thanks for not putting me on your ignored list.

Is Chicken Little part of your flock? All joking aside, if you have the opportunity to work and live abroad, you should consider it. Great experience

I love all your chicken pics. And you have a mansion coop!

 

[soxfan]

I am still so MAD I have two baby roosters for Kevin! The breeder told me she could sex them at birth! Ugh. They are gonna strip my ladies bare of feathers soon, and I LOVE my fluffy chickens. I pride myself on having "pretty" chickens to keep the neighbors happy when they roam and poop on their land. They always say they love them and they are so "pretty."

No one wants a bare chicken.

 

[soxfan]

And I give them all free eggs. It's the least I can do...

Oh I had to do the bad thing when I accidentally got a rooster. He pecked and pecked the hens and once the feathers were gone he pecked them until they bled. DH had to do away with him.

If I got free eggs I wouldn't mind a bit of poop.

 

[redwood66]

I found out you can tell hens from roosters because of the wing feathers. Uneven wing feathers are hens and even ones are roosters. Just pull one wing out a bit and see what they look like.

I just posted on the lavender orpington site. It was a 100% consensus roosters giant red combs at 5 weeks old. And they look like a-holes.

This is the best thread drift ever.

You ladies would get along well with my sister-in-law. She’s got over 20 chickens and she’s quite generous with their eggs! She knows to save the blue ones for me.

OMG I know. And I was on a common sense roll. I'm still mad RED!

I have 21 chickens. It's cathartic for me to say it out loud.

Don't be mad. Remember we are all just people trying to get through life. I'm not mad. I never was. But I do think our national civility is circling the drain if we don't do something about it. Regardless of who is in the WH.

21 chickens is awesome!

21 little velociraptor wannabe's running around your property!? Oh sure, they're cute when they're babies and making those adorable peep noises, and oh sure, some of them are actually stunning looking adults but they are eeeeevil. Eeeeevil I say. Creepy little velociraptor wannabes that will eat you for dinner if given the opportunity.
