Diogenes’ Middle Finger: DJT signed an Executive Order today that essentially allows families to be detained together in order to stop the issue of separating children from parents. This, we were assured, was the primary concern of the most virtuous among us who have driven a news cycle of hysteria the last week. Furthermore, this was a situation so dire they said, so terrible, that the President needed to simply ignore the law and stop separations on his own.
So what happens when he actually does what they want?
“Rather than separating children from parents, the Trump administration will hold children indefinitely with their parents, violating a court settlement and inevitably triggering a legal challenge.” – The NYT’s
If you had under 6, the total number of hours it’d take for the Democrats and media figures to decide that ending family separations isn’t a good thing, collect your winnings at the window. more here
Hopefully, a judge will throw the EO out and put the ball back in the Demonrat’s court. That would be special.

give ’em what they want & their heads still explode
DJT is playing 3D Chess while these progtards are still trying to figure out Tic-Tac-Toe & complaining about the rules
But how can this be? How can this NYT story be accurate? I was told that Trump and Nielson were dangerous liars — worse than Hitler, I believe the claim went — for saying there was a law that required family separation after 20 days. – Mollie Hemingway

“Let the courts decide that the old way is better. Let the fedges strike down Trump’s humanitarian EO. The media is going to have a hard time to spin “keeping families together” as a bad thing, after they’ve gone full bore in support of it.”–Thirdtwin, earlier today
They think they’re moving the goalposts, but Trump has them playing Twister. If they knew the story of Trump and the Mar-a-Lago flagpole, they might not be in this position. Might not.
Trump is going to drive the democrats into literally stating before the next election that their goal is unlimited immigration from anywhere at any time for any reason. They’re going to scream this to an electorate that is seeing more decent jobs and decent pay than they’ve seen in over a decade in order to sell them on going back to being shut out of jobs by illegal labor.
Democrats are in a race with themselves to see if they can be more stupid, crazy, or evil at any given time.
All my lib Facebook friends are spewing hate even at Trump’s new EO.
Of course he’ll never win with them. Fortunately the vast majority of Americans favor stricter immigration control.
Build the damn wall!

I only want in on that action if The Democratic National committee is running the “competition”.
Fools! They will employ this tactic with every issue from now on. He should have ordered immediate deportation for All of them.
Anonymous- Nah, what Trump did only smoked out the fact that the RINOs and them don’t want any border enforcement. AND this will make it easier to unload the illegals quicker. They’re all together already.
