Zero tolerance for this zero- impeach, but get rid of Pence first, like Spiro, and elect a new House this fall, with a Democrat, almost any will do, to be in line like Ford was. The Republicans, sadly, don’t seem to have any Gerald Fords on their list, just more twits like Ryan.
MRUGLYREALITY you have misused the word REALITY. You obviously don’t know the meaning of the word. And by the way, Stormy’s (and who knows many others) boyfriend, the current president, is no whiz when it comes to the ‘law’.
As long as there is profit for the 1% in the breaking apart and privatization of the government, this will continue. Bring in private prisons, then write laws that fill them. Looks like they won’t continue to detain and lockup individuals at present, but they will lockup families together, making tent cities in the desert, at the cost of luxury hotels to the taxpayer. Now that they are in control, it’s the business model.
On the bright side, the tent cities could be reused to house the Trumps, Pences, Nunes’ and others found complicit…. to keep their families together after Mueller indicts them.
What initiated the change is the statement from the Koch brohers on Tuesday that separating the families was wrong. The Repubs started changing their tune Tuesday afternoon (look at Ted Cruz flip-flop) and rump saw that the majority of the party was turning against him. He’s now even lying about the reaction to his “joke” about Mark Sanford.
However, tthe EO that Trump signs means nothing because it has no plans on what to do with current families showing up at the border and nothing about what to do about families already separated.
(By the way, the cartoon that Stantis chooses as his banner, contrasting Marines raising the flag (oh, say, can you see?) with Kaepernick kneeling is interesting, coming from a libertarian. I presume this means that it’s okay to take advantage of free speech, but not really. Do I have this wrong?)
Clinton signed the policy into law. Obama enforced it the same exact way you are now screaming about. Me thinks you are not big on consistency, or logical thought. Or just looking for a club to beat the guy with an R behind his name. Or all of the above.
Just to point out where ANDYLIT gets his lies from. There was an estimate of 60,000 unaccompanied minors that would come to the border in 2014 when the previous year it was about 6000. ANDYLIT warps this into that being the number of “children in cages”. It is really disgusting to see the ability of people to lie to defend Trump’s actions.

Waiting for the new Ivanka brand of child cages.
Made by child slave labor in China, of course.
Or, coming soon, maybe one of those brand new Trump factories in Pyongyang, North Korea.

We should also not use children as pawns, nor cart them along in our illegal activities.

Toxic Trump put a black spot on America’s permanent record,
he needs to be schooled.

Scott, you failed to complain in 2014. Why now?
Obama had 60,000 kids in cages and you didn’t say boo.

When Clinton did it, it was terrible. Now that Trump is doing the same thing, it’s a wonderful policy.

Separation ( of children ) – No! Incarceration of Families – Yes! What a Trumpian policy change!

Apparently nothing is going to wake up the heartless right wingers.
