The original photo of the child is going to be one of those iconic images that are always remembered in the history of the country.

They have been much too much silent, occasionally giving mild criticism if asked by a reporter about the separations, but never moving decent legislation, even though they have a majority in both chambers.

Republicon family values on full display. Don't let voters forget in 2018 and 2020.

Yup. It will be a part of our Blue Wave War in November and beyond.
Be as in their face about it as they are in spewing their soulless arrogance to the rest of the country.

Another essential battle...
His base supporters are too mean or stupid or both to change their views but there is also a large portion of sane but non-participating voters who need reminded of what complacency at the polls can do to seriously harm our country.

As she did when the door was closed on those fleeing Syria, and the dead baby washed up on the beach, in fear of being a terrorist.

Donald Trump continues to bring the United States down. What we must do is make sure we get our voters to REJECT Republicans running for office who support Trump and his Anti-American policies.

13. The Story Behind TIME's Trump 'Welcome to America' Cover
Thu Jun 21, 2018, 07:37 AM
Jun 2018
John Moore, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer for Getty Images, has been photographing immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border for years. This week one of his pictures became the most visible symbol of the immigration debate in America.

“This one was tough for me. As soon as it was over, they were put into a van. I had to stop and take deep breaths,” Moore told TIME Tuesday, describing his reaction to the scene of a two-year-old Honduran girl crying as her mother was being detained in McAllen, Texas. “All I wanted to do was pick her up. But I couldn’t.”



Due to the power of the image, which appeared as critics from across the political spectrum attacked President Trump’s now-reversed policy of separating children from parents who are being detained for illegally entering the United States, TIME’s editors selected Moore’s photograph to create a photo illustration, including Trump, to make the July 2, 2018, cover of the magazine.

to inhibit his racist rage tantrums that result in crap like separating children from parents.

She knew she was marrying a wife-cheating POS, and that he raw dogged a porn star when she gave birth, but that is no excuse from cutting off the sex that ends up in a rage that we in the general public have to endure and pay for.

It is Melanie's wifely duty to fuck that piece of shit regularly as FLOTUS to keep him off our back.

He looks so big and powerful

And he appears to be making eye contact, which I'm sure he'd never do. He'd probably try one of his weird hand-shakes and knock her over. Asshole.

where is that little girl???? was her mother taken away from her?

Fitting cover, for a monster. They can wear ties and suits but they are just evil, Stephen Miller comes to mind.

This picture is going to go down as one of those "iconic" photos that defines an issue. But for me personally, I think the picture of the idiot makes him look too benevolent. It almost looks like he feels sorry for her...his signature scowl is missing, and we all know that's how he would have been looking at this child.
