1. I know I am ranting about this, but it is incomprehensible to me. It is as if there is no reality anymore. Trump is the President. He is not some loony uncle. He should not get mulligans just because he is stupid.

Trump stated that he needs to dump illegal aliens....
2...in sanctuary cities because he can only hold them 20 days. Again, that only applies to children. Yes, legally, they cannot be held more than 20 days and the government is required to focus on getting them released to safe places.

By saying "they are criminals and we can...
3...only hold them 20 days" - Trump is demonstrating he is a monster. Do NOT give him the out that, after his focus on immigration, he is too stupid to know the law. This man is talking about children. He is calling children criminals. He is saying he wants to dump children....
4...alone, in the middle of the night, on streets. This is what his statements mean.

There is only one out: That Trump is so goddamn stupid he doesn't even know the laws that govern immigration, the laws he criticizes all the time. How can someone criticize the law...
5...when he doesnt even know what it is?

Enough. Enough treating him like a demented fool. He is President. He said this. There are questions:
1. Trump has labeled children criminals and said he wants to dump on streets. Why does he consider them dangerous?
.....

b. Will there be an age limit for how young a child can be before you dump them on the streets alone?
c. This is a direct violation of the court-enforced Flores decision that requires you to find them a safe place. How have you interpreted the Flores decision to allow...
7...
..you to ignore its primary points, which has been defined by the courts?
d. And if you did not mean all this, does the president not know immigration law?
e. Who is briefing him on immigration law?
f. If he doesnt know this basic element of immigration law, how can....
8...

...Americans trust him when he criticizes the law.
g. If he wasn't talking about dumping kids, and if he does understand the law, why was Trump lying?

This one cannot slip by. Once you have a president openly proposing abusing children in violation of the law, it HAS....

...to be pursued. He is the president of the United States. If he knows the law, he is proposing what could amount to a serious crime, both federally and in the state, by violating Flores and abusing children through abandonment in streets.
