trump/sessions specifically mandated this policy.



[flagged]


>How is this policy changed from when Obama was in office again? The fakenews that started all this was a few photos from 2014.

Under the Obama administration, families were not separated because the parents were not jailed. The photos to which you refer pertain to unaccompanied minors.

What is happening now is that the Trump administration is jailing parents and removing children from their custody; in some instances, deporting the parents back to Central American without their own children.

This is explicitely a discretionary change in policy ordered by Sessions and the Trump administration. The Obama adminstration did not have a policy of separating children from their families.

Seems like you're 100% wrong on that.


For the record, "Russia" did stick. We still get news about the special counsel's investigation on a regular basis. We have plenty of evidence of people in the Trump campaign meeting with Russians and lying about it. I believe the special counsel's investigation is supposed to finish up some time this summer, so we will probably be hearing more about it in the near future.

The only reason it seems like it didn't stick is because congressional Republicans and the conservative media benefit protecting Trump.
