There will be coverage of the fallout from Trump's child/infant hostage policy for months. *

"Will take years for the Republicans to get past it."


-Sara Fagen
Former White House Political Director for George W. Bush

The media sure as hell better keep covering it. They better start digging deeper into it. This took a long time to plan. Memos, briefings, proposals, bids, contracts, emails upon emails -- journos need to start FOIA-ing that sh*t and reconstructing exactly who did what and when.

Those pictures of the rethugs clapping and smiling at the White House should be used in all the campaign ads and website banner ads.

..not by those it impacted or those it affected emotionally, but by the short attention span buffoons in the media and also the "independents" and "disaffected republicans" we keep pretending are reachable.

The same way everything about Trump will be forgiven and forgotten once he's gone.
