The flaw in the "leave the kids at home" argument...

If I'm going to flee my country, it's a pretty good bet that I'm worried about the welfare and safety of my kids. Why would I leave them behind?

Where are the girls and the babies?

Say it over and over again until we get the answer.

If they can take their children, they can take your children.

This is what we are seeing right now. We are now halfway down the slippery slope. People are saying "it's their children, ours are safe." No they are not. The process of dehumanizing all of us has begun with our government taking children...anybody's children. And just look who is abetting this...Walmart. Walmart, the company that has had real problems with empty stores. Perfect solution for them...warehouse children. I will bet my life on the fact that good old Walmart is getting paid for this. What in the name of God or anything that is good or decent can we do about this? And not a word from this President, this administration, this Congress (save a few lonely voices). A baby pulled from a mother's breast...think of that...kids living in Walmart stores...think of that. What can we do? We have to do something about this or I fear we are really lost.

If I were Kim Jong-un

I'd wait until Trump is in the air and halfway to the Summit and then I would cancel citing the lack of respect shown by Rudy G. and Trump's failure to repudiate his statements.

The President's Pardon of Kim Jong-un

That's effectively what it is. No one, not even Trump's most rabid supporters, will argue that Kim Jong-un is anything but a two-bit despot who starves, brutalizes and murders his own people and would love to do the same to us. Yet our President has praised him, elevated him and is about to put him up in a $6,000 a night hotel suite , all expenses paid by the taxpayers of the very country that Kim Jong-un would most like to annihilate. And, to add insult to injury, he welcomes into the Oval Office North Korea's spy-in-chief and poses with a cartoonish letter like he's just won a high school raffle.

Human wreckage...

I know Melania signed on for this ride as well as Trump's adult kids. But Barron didn't. I think the damage to this young boy will be immeasurable.

Trump is being uncharacteristically quiet because

of his pre-nuptual agreement with Melania. No question in my mind. He stands to lose millions if she can prove that he violated it.

A thought about the Daniels interview.

What I found interesting was her fairly detailed description of what Trump said to her: "you're special, you're smart, I'll get you on the Apprentice." I wonder how many women are out there who have had an encounter with Trump and have been told the same thing. I imagine that the Playboy model was told the same thing...I wonder how pissed off she is this morning.

How, exactly, does Trump fire Mueller?

As I understand it, only Ron R. can fire him because Sessions has recused himself. So does lap dog Sessions fire Ron R. and then appoint someone else who will fire Mueller? Is there any other way that Trump can get this done?
