Trump cabinet officials voted in 2018 White House meeting to separate migrant children, say officials

"If we don't enforce this, it is the end of our country as we know it," said Trump adviser Stephen Miller, say officials present at a White House meeting.

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.

Should a Biden DOJ Investigate and Prosecute Trump?

We just learned that the Senate, that this Republican-led Senate committee, made criminal referrals for many people close to Donald Trump, and the Justice Department never, apparently, took them up. I think there should be an expectation that the next Justice Department, not that it’s going to prosecute, but that it’s going to investigate.

There were arguments not to do this with George W. Bush, when Barack Obama came into office. And those arguments made sense at the time. Obama was facing an economic crisis; this is all hands on deck. The bandwidth of the administration is limited. He wants to move the country forward. He sort of ran on this kind of post-partisan, bringing the country together message.

It’s easy for me to see why they felt like those arguments were persuasive at the time. But you look at the result: It created even more of a culture of impunity in the Republican Party where the people who are now enacting illegal schemes on Trump’s behalf probably feel very little compunction about what this might mean to their future careers.

Trump has NOT been investigated. Where are Trump's income tax returns? He is still fighting to keep those a secret, which is completely senseless if he was ever sincere about releasing those tax returns to the public after the IRS audit was over. Trump, with tax returns and all his accountants, needs to sit down with auditors who can force answers from him.

Trump tax cheating has not been investigated by anybody who can make him pay.

Then there is Trump and the Russian "hoax". Trump has NOT been investigated on why he keeps insisting it was a hoax when it has been proven to NOT be a hoax.

Senate Republicans provide hard evidence that shreds Trump’s persistent lies about a Russia ‘hoax’

A Republican-led Senate committee chronicles the “grave counterintelligence threat” posed by the extensive contacts between Trump’s former campaign chairman and a Russian intelligence operative.

The final volume of the report by the Senate Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation arrives late in the game. Still, it offers the detailed accounting of how Russian spies worked with the Trump team that former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III should have given the country last year. It offers raw material for the wide-ranging impeachment inquiry that the House of Representatives should have conducted.

Here at last is hard evidence — certified by GOP committee leaders and published this week — that shreds Trump’s false claims of a Russia “hoax” or “witch hunt.” Let us never hear that glib dismissal of fact again. From now on, the simple answer to Trump is: “That’s not what Senate Republicans found.”

Read this passage from the report and consider what it tells us about Trump and his apologists: “The Committee observed numerous Russian-government actors from late 2016 until at least January 2020 consistently spreading overlapping false narratives which sought to discredit investigations into Russian interference.”

One goal of this coverup was to “promote the narrative that Ukraine, not Russia, had interfered in the 2016 U.S. election,” the Senate report says. Sound familiar? It should. This lie has been voiced repeatedly by Trump and his defenders.

Funny how the IRS has NOT collected about $1 trillion per year in taxes owed. Why not collect the money? IRS is not capable of auditing rich people.

On the other hand, the New York Times is very capable of finding tax cheating by the wealthy. NYT used Donald Trump's tax returns given them by Mary Trump, the niece who was cheated out of her inheritance until she sued the pants off of Trump, and the NYTs found plenty of Donald's cheating that was older than the statute of limitations. Trump didn't stop cheating just because he lost one case with his niece.

Maybe the NYT should do the taxes going forward.

They're really bad at doing news.
