Just to further share our idiocy with the world, I’m in Massachusetts right now. A popular right-wing radio show at lunchtime is by Jeff Kuhner, a Canadian, who is hollering his anti-immigration shtick all over Boston right now by some feat that surely involved immigration. And not just once - his parents were Croatian. He says this, on his website: _…Most importantly, the detention facilities hosting the illegal immigrant children are the very opposite of “concentration” or “internment” camps: Rather, they are a combination of a five-star hotel, a college dorm and summer camp. They are just a cut below Disney World._ The title of the piece? “Liberal Lies About Trump’s ‘Zero-tolerance’ Policy”. You can dig for that if you’d like at WRKO radio, but I’m not linking it, and honestly it’s not unique. This is common. ---

Okay, Trump signed a legislative order to stop the practice of ripping families apart. Response on this thread? SILENCE… I seriously expected, at a minimum, a “too little too late” diatribe. You guys are slipping. ---
