Gen Horowitz just said he can only speak to the IG report? And it has nothing to do with Muellers investigation. Am I hearing that correctly?

I'm going to have to call John McCain at home. Well not really, but we could use his fieriness over the separation of families. He is upset about it, but he's also not doing so well.
Also we need to tag the First lady--ask your stupid husband to make a presidential decree stopping the separation of families. He likes to make so many presidential decrees, what's another one? He could stop it today, but he won't.

Should Flake and Corker switch their designation to Independent?

Y'all. They have lost Bill O'Reilly. (Of course he leads with "how bad it looks".)

Gen Horowitz just said he can only speak to the IG report? And it has nothing to do with Muellers investigation. Am I hearing that correctly? He said he can only speak at this hearing to THIS report. Basically he said he only completed his report on the "Mid Year Investigation" (Clinton emails investigation) so he can only testify about that today. So this report didn't come anywhere close to "vindicating" Trump. It didn't even discuss Trump.

PETEY OFFERED TO TESTIFY. GRILL HIM ABOUT HIS TEXTS. MY GOSH.

Hi- new here, kind of. I posted sometimes on TB but not here yet. I'm a school counselor and just finished the school year and my first National Board certification cycle so thought this would be a good time to jump in. I'm in a red state and am horrified at current events and need a place to unleash my rage. Today I called two of Lindsey Graham's offices and am about to drop a letter off to Sessions. That picture of the two year old Honduran girl is haunting me- my girls are 5 and 2 and this makes the cruelty even more unfathomable. That picture is killing me too. The washington Post article about the pediatrician saying they can even pick up the babies to comfort them is haunting me as well. My 4 year old can't make it through the night without coming into our room, I am struggling imagining these kids being alone and not knowing where they are, where their parents are, and then no one to give them a f'ing hug. I will give it to Laura Bush, her op ed was powerful and will be viewed differently than if MO wrote it.

::snort:: I think the IG might have just taken a shot across the bow at Trump.
Senator Kennedy asked if nobody can know a person's state of mind, outside of that person.
IG Horowitz agreed with the caveat that that person might tell his state of mind to someone else.
Kind of like Trump telling Lester Holt about "The Rusher thing?"

Republicans sitting there on CSPAN reading aloud texts calling Trump immoral, disgusting, etc is pretty comical. I don't think it's having the effect they think it's having.
Also, Senator Kennedy just said "wangdoodle" referring to Trump's penis.

Briefing is started and they passed it to the Secretary of Homeland Security. SHe is surprisingly cheery for a person everyone wants to drive a Mack truck through.
She is spouting numbers about people crossing the border. Also taking about about how many Asylum cases have been taken.
BECAUSE THEY NEED A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE!

SHS rushed through the intro and that smug brat is up
She starts with thanking Sheriffs Assn.
And moves on to drugs and contraband coming across the southern border, She quotes the same numbers she was using this morning. Basically shes parroting her speech from this morning.
They are all MS-13!!! BAD PEOPLE LOOPHOLES!
(as an aside Sen Blumenthal (joins Sen Harris) said she should turn in her resignation because this is abhorrent)

I dislike her very strongly
I HATE the scare tactics. I understand separating a child from an adult if they are suspected trafficking. BUT YOU TOOK A BABY that was breastfeeding.
