Re: Mrs Trump
I heard the best line in a while today re: the Trumpster.......
"Trump has forced everyone in America to smoke two packs of politics a day"
Not sure if it wasn't Trevor Noah who said it or not.....the TV was on in the other room. Sounded like him.

Re: Mrs Trump
545 kids separated from their parents at Border control and now the US authorities cannot say who their parents are.
Kids put in cages are now being told they're parents can't be found.

Re: Mrs Trump
They came over the US/Mexico Border illegally. By Federal law they can only be sent back across that border. Mexico is not about to accept them back....and you can't blame them* - they're not Mexican citizens & have no legal standing there. Their parents are long gone back to Central America (if they even attempted the journey at all).
Of about 2000 children in the same situation since around 2018 (and a few from 2017) all but the remaining 545 have been returned to their families, placed with extended family inside the U.S., or adopted/fostered by other families within the U.S.
It's not like it's not for wont of trying, but if their parents can't be contacted we're stuck between a rock & a hard place.
*You can blame the Mexican Govt. if you want, I suppose...they have a long history of funneling people through Mexico from their southern border to the U.S. and dropping them on our lap.

So fwiw, that's a "No difference" vote here.

Re: Mrs Trump
They're not driving in the first photo. They're parked.
Pro Trump supporters are preventing people from going to Democratic rallies. They've been blocking roads and diverting traffic. Trump jr is encouraging them and had been suggesting they turn out at voting stations.

The centerline here is usually yellow, and there's always at least two of them.

,,,, Although another quick look at the image reveals that the flag on the back of the pickup does actually seem to have TRUMP written in mirror reverse.
