We have all seen this sadistic SOB smirking as he announces one cruel "legal" act against the defenseless and now he proves why civility for any Trump people must end today!
"Attorney General Jeff Sessions cracked a joke about the administration’s immigration chaos, and was greeted with laughs at the idea of separated families."
What was the "joke?" The last line about people who live in gated communities was this one:
"“If you try to scale the fence they’d be even too happy to have you arrested and separated from your children.”
Really? Is that supposed to be the same? False equivalency, yet people laughed! Sickening! And do not dare bring out the dog-whistle about "snowflakes" because we are talking about desperate immigrant families fleeing for their lives in many cases, not f**king gated communities filled with rich and retired people!
I wish Sessions had kids and they could suffer the trauma being foist on the immigrants. It is not the same to separate obvious gangsters and criminals set on burglary versus immigrants! The comparison is not even close you bastards!

Jeff Sessions mocks liberals on "lunatic fringe" over family separation
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeff-sessions-mocks-liberals-on-lunatic-fringe-over-family-separation/
Who writes Session's speeches? Stephen Miller wrote this one for sure, saying people who care about sparing immigrant kids from PTSD as lunatics. Then saying people climbing gates and walls to a gated community is the same?! Wow! Are those people trying to get in the gated community seeking refuge? NO! There is no God!
""The rhetoric we hear from the other side on this issue—as on so many others—has become radicalized. We hear views on television today that are on the lunatic fringe. And what is perhaps more galling is the hypocrisy. These same people live in gated communities many of them and are featured at events where you have to have an ID even to even come in and hear them speak -- they like a little security around themselves. And if you try to scale the fence, believe me, they'll be only too happy to have you arrested and separated from your children, I would like to see that," Sessions said at the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation."
Bull shit! Here it is again in case you cannot believe Sessions aid it! Sessions continues to say new legislation is the problem, not TRUMP'S POLICY separating kids from their parents.

Tweety, and I am sure his people, have an agreement to be tough at any cost. The cost is to push people beyond our limits of forgiveness. You idiotic Evangelicals can step aside, we choose to be as uncivil to Tweety and his people;s as he has been to all of us.
How do you have a civil conversation with Tweety, or any of his surrogates, sycophants, or followers as they buy into being uncivil no matter what we say or do? Is the " we go high when they go low" mantra viable in the face of a brutal bully who makes no effort to hide his lies? No longer!
"The Civility Myth"
Miles Howard June 27, 2018

". . . when it became clear that the Republican tax bill was going to clear Congress and be signed into law by Donald Trump, I wondered what the members of today’s GOP Congress would face when they went on recess and blended back into civilian life. Would people shout at them on the street? Would businesses turn them away?"
Well, now a few Tweety employees have been turned away and shouted at.
". . . eparation of immigrant children and parents on the southern border, and the Trump administration’s disinterest in reuniting those families. It’s mass scale child abuse carried out by the state and defended by Trump administration officials who are now finding themselves accosted when they go out in public. . .
It seems we should at least highlight to the Trump people that we do not like child abuse. In fact, it seems like our duty!
"
This is a turning point. The forms of dissent that Trump’s child-snatching policy has inspired are bolder and more confrontational than marches, vigils and phone calls to Congress. These new assertive tactics are designed to make Trump administration officials feel shamed, scared and unwelcome in the civilian world. And for that reason, what happened to Sanders and Nielsen is being derided by the beltway political class as some terrible, cataclysmic erosion of “civility” in American life.
Everyone from the Washington Post’s Editorial Board to CNN’s Chris Cillizza to Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has spent the last few days imploring people to be civil to Trump and his cabinet."
The people who are against shaming "All the Presidents Men" are wrong. I have decided it is the RIGHT thing, as it IS WAY TOO EASY TO "GO HIGH." We have a duty to shame these Trump people every chnace we get.
Maxine Waters is right, Shumer is wrong! Chuck is a loser and will lose the mid-terms for liberals.
". . . outside in America, civility has been in recession for quite some time. It’s not just the breakdown of polite rhetoric that Trump’s 2016 campaign exacerbated -- it’s also the legislation that America’s political class has written and passed: legislation that has sustained and worsened racially-stratified wealth inequality so extreme that the United Nations recently produced a brutal report about it."
"A climate like that, in which so many people feel desperate and ignored, is not a climate that fosters civility. Instead, it fuels resentment, stress and rage that are almost begging to be exploited by a white nationalist grifter like Donald Trump. And that’s why we’re now seeing government employees rip families apart at the border and stick infants in “tender care” facilities. The alleged breakdown of civility that beltway elites are talking about has already happened.
If civility was still part of America's bedrock, the Republican Party wouldn't be trying to suppress voters of color and Merrick Garland would have been able to prevent the recent Supreme Court decision that upheld Trump's Muslim travel ban.
I wonder how that premise sounds to immigrant families who just found out that you can now be arrested by ICE if you show up at an immigration office to apply for a green card."
Civility in America was a thinly veiled racims, and now civility is simply gone, exposing the tribes to fight dirty, do whatever it takes to "win," bringing down what was the potential for good in America.
"I wonder how it comes across to all the psychiatrists who’ve examined the kids that were taken from their parents and are now exhibiting symptoms of PTSD.
I wonder how it resonates with the parents whose only recourse for finding their stolen kids is dialing a 1-800 number and waiting.
Should the men and women responsible for enforcing this systemic cruelty be granted the civility that they refuse to reciprocate? Should the burden of upholding or restoring civility in American life fall upon those who are now being denied civility by a ruling administration and party whose joint mission statement appears to “trigger the libs?”
No.
The anxious chatter we're hearing from Washington is the sound of elite decision makers squirming away from the human consequences of their actions."
Right on! Do what is right, not what is easy.
