Melania should go home. This bullshit photo-op isn't helping anyone. Her husband ordered thousands of children kidnapped from their parents.
Gaslighting the American people has been perfected by this administration.

She must mean more than one side to the cages because there is only one side when children are placed in cages - the side against doing it.

(82,849 posts)I made a Facebook post about the kidnapping and torture of these children. I received a responding post, schoolmarming me about my emotional response, and stating confidently that the issue wasn't "black and white" as some would have it (quote marks in the original response). Sadly, the responder (who I don't know) didn't quite get to the fine nuances and shades of gray that he asserted were abundant in this situation.
This seems to be the next step in the gaslighting: Pretending that this crime against humanity isn't all that serious or bad. The precise explanation of which hasn't been formulated yet.

(9,647 posts)But I don't have much faith in much of our MSM to act as anything but a blowhorn. Sadly, it seems former Republicans like Nicole Wallace and Joe Scarbough are the most likely to not Parrott Trump's talking points. I turn off MSNBC after Lawerence because that guy after is the worst.
