Ok. So the Trump administration's position is that the laws in place to protect children and those under credible threat in their home country are being exploited so we just shouldn't protect them anymore. So I guess we'll just go ahead and get rid of all of our laws because some people break them. FFS.

Major Garett: 43 put 6,000 NG on the border for about 18 months; 44 put about 1200. How is 45's plan different?
KN: Drones! Governors are on the front lines so we'll do what they tell us they want. Also drones!

John Roberts: Operation: Jumpstart specifically restricted CBP/NG from laying hands on anyone trying to cross the border. Will it be different under Trump's plan?
KN: Probably not?

Jonathan Karl: I'm pretty sure it's not legal for Trump to earmark DOD funds for DHS activities.
KN: Some of the land along the border is actually owned by DOD, so they would be within their right to build a wall there.

My laptop froze!!
Peter Alexander argued with her about funding the wall. CNN is asking why the urgency. Apparently April is peak season for illegal border crossings.

she also wants us all to know that they're complying with Title 32 and that the governors are in the driver's seat here. WE'RE TOTALLY NOT BREAKING THE LAW OK! TIPPY TOP LEGAL!

Is foreign policy being shaped by Fox News?
KN: POTUS "is taking his job very seriously."
Clearly.

What happened? Anything important? Shakesville was very doom & gloom about everything today and thinks Mueller is going to be soft on Trump. A few key points to consider: -someone can be "just a subject not a target" until they aren't. And literally every time Trump opens his mouth he runs the risk of incriminating himself.-Mueller may just be acting under the DOJ ruling that a sitting president can't be indicted. Therefore, Mueller could easily recommend impeachment proceedings to congress but not necessarily identify Trump as a criminal target. -This whole thing is a game of telephone. It's Trump's lawyers telling a reporter what they think Mueller's team told them. They could be (a) wrong, (b) delusional, (c) clinging to unreasonable optimism, (d) planting this story to make POTUS happy so he doesn't do something stupid -Mueller could well have said this to get Trump to agree to an interview. And you know he'll perjure himself.I think this is exactly right and a lot of what a lot of Trump's team is worried about. If Trump will just agree to be interviewed so that he can "clear his name," then he'll definitely perjure himself, at which point he could become a target. I hope this plan works.

She's being willfully obtuse about why people flee their native countries. People don't just stroll across the border for better access to Target.

Major Garrett: Kudlow and Ross both say that the trade dispute should be resolved through negotiations. Why the tariffs?
SHS: Trump is "the best negotiator at the table." We've got time. "China will do the right thing...China created this problem."

John Decker: So how can I get a condo on the Hill for $50 a night? Trump is a swampy swamp creature.
SHS: "We're reviewing that here at the White House...he's done a good job on the deregulation front, but we take this seriously."

John Gizzi: Steele reported that the FBI had a report on the mysterious death of the founder of RT. He definitely didn't get drunk and fall down to death. He was definitely bludgeoned to death by Putin's friends. Probably in track suits. Does POTUS have any comment?
SHS: No.
JG: The Mexican foreign minister met with Skippy. Can we get a readout on that?
SHS: NAFTA negotiations continue. We'll keep you posted.

Jeff Zeleny: So uh, what are you guys doing about Syria?
SHS: We don't want to create a power vacuum and leave room for the reemergence of ISIS. Because we defeated ISIS. CALIPHATE! I KNOW THE WORD CALIPHATE!
JZ: Sure. But wouldn't force reduction in Syria embolden Iran?
SHS: Nah, we're going to train them like we did the Iraqi army!

what does eradicating ISIS in Syria look like? And what did POTUS tell the commanders about a timeline for force reduction?
SHS: Trump doesn't like arbitrary timelines, gawd. We're WINNING! Mattis will determine when it's time to pull out.

SHS: Mattis tho
and with that I have to go pick up my kid

If the DOD already owns it and is allowing illegal activity, now they are going to do something to stop it?

ETA: It's the anniversary of MLK's assassination and Ashley, the coolest writer on Full Frontal, wants you to take this opportunity to remember how hated MLK was by mainstream white folks in his day and how important it is to protest the "wrong way" and stay true to his legacy. Early morning, April 4 Shot rings out In the Memphis sky Free at last, they took your life They could not take your pride. In the naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame of love, what more in the name of love. (That is how I remember April 4th is the day of MLK's assassination. I blasted it in my car this morning.)
