"Under our horrible immigration laws, the Government is frequently blocked from deporting criminal aliens with violent felony convictions. House GOP just passed a bill to increase our ability to deport violent felons (Crazy Dems opposed). Need to get this bill to my desk fast!"

Creepy, I'm reading this while watching the 2009 reboot of The Prisoner, I read this and flicked my eyes up to the part where 1952 writes the word "DESPAIR".
 
Meanwhile, over 400 children are still separated, and the Trump administration is planning of cancelling the Flores Agreement.

In 1985, a 15-year-old Salvadoran girl fleeing civil war in her country inadvertently came to represent all children detained by U.S. immigration authorities after being strip searched every day and housed with adult men while in prolonged government custody.

The resulting Flores agreement, as the class-action court settlement came to be known after the girl, Jenny Lisette Flores, has since served to protect the rights of minors who end up in the custody of immigration authorities, setting the terms of their care and release.

On Thursday, the Trump administration took the first steps to get out from under that 1997 consent decree, filing new proposed rules on the treatment of minors that immigrant advocates said could lead to more children being detained for extended periods of time.

The move, which is virtually guaranteed to lead to a court fight, comes as the government is still scrambling to undo the aftermath of its widely condemned “zero tolerance” measures to separate children from their parents at the border and prosecute adults who crossed illegally.

The proposed rules could allow minors to be held indefinitely along with their parents, beyond the current limit, by relaxing the licensing requirements of facilities in which immigrant children can be detained. The Flores agreement requires that migrant children be released “without unnecessary delay” or placed in licensed facilities within five days, and during an emergency or influx of immigrant minors arriving at the border, within 20 days.

"14 days for $28 MILLION - $2 MILLION a day, No Collusion. A great day for America!"
 
So this is what we have come to:

A President who might be a functional illiterate who hates to read and prefers pretty pictures.
I actually hope ,despite being a federal worker, that Trumpy shuts down the government. That would make the Democratic wave into a Tsnumi,and might well cost the GOP the senate..I really think the house might be gone no matter what.

Trump wants you to think, in spite of a vast amount of evidence that he and his campaign conspired with the Russians that there is no evidence that he and his campaign conspired with the Russians. They like the word collusion because it is not specifically mentioned as a crime in Title 18 of the US Code (the criminal statutes of the United States). They like this word because when they get caught in acts of collusion, (like the Trump Tower Meeting) they can say collusion isn't a crime. Of course Trump, his spawn and his campaign conspired with the Russians to influence the 2016 campaign.


The dollar figures are references to how much money Mueller spent doing his investigation (a bit of a red hearing since much of his staff are from the FBI and their salaries would be paid regardless) in not finding any evidence of collusion. The problem here is that there is evidence of conspiracy (collusion) in the form of the Trump Tower meeting.
