Melania's trip to Texas is another Trump flop.

The sanitized room with the cute little sign saying Acts of Kindness, the fawning detention center staff, insipid conversation claiming that the children were happy, have all their needs taken care of, and that in 45 days or so they might see their parents. It was a photo op that was so staged it seemed like it was orchestrated by a propaganda master. They weren't fooling anyone, well except for the people who watch Fox news.

And now these photographs of Melania wearing the most inappropriate jacket available for sale in the entire country. It would have been more appropriate if she boarded the plane in her underwear.

And this is the reason it went sideways: The Trumps really don't care all that much, if at all. And that is something they can't hide.

went from +200% to +300%, thanks to Melanie's jacket.

This administration is as stupid as it is evil. Even the Nazis waited until 1939 before they completely stopped giving a shit about optics.

… phony. Yet, CNN and MSNBC praised her and seemed thrilled. She really saw nothing... loved the peek-a-boo top she wore, tho...

basically tossing this in our faces. "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?"

Write our representatives, call them? I'll get right on the phone to Marco, he's such a statesman I'm sure he'll make things change.

FFS. talk me down!!!!

In a New York Times op-ed, several current and former NFL players rejected President Donald Trump's request for a list of people they would like to see him pardon, demanding instead that he enact far-reaching reforms to end the crisis of mass incarceration, which has seen black Americans sent to prison at more than five times the rate of white Americans.
