    Trump didn't frame his tweet as a Memorial Day message.

    The left wing radio host and columnist specifically did.

    Dean, a lawyer turned writer and award winning comedian, has been using his skills to both entertain and educate people for years. He’s the host of SiriusXM radio’s daily program “The Dean Obeidallah show” making him the first Muslim American to host a national radio show.

    Dean is the co-director/co-producer of the comedy documentary entitled “The Muslims are Coming!” featuring a stand up comedy tour of Muslim-American comedians performing free shows across the South and West in the hopes of countering anti-Muslim bigotry. The film features interviews with a cross section of luminaries including The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, comedians Lewis Black, David Cross and many more.

    Dean writes weekly for The Daily Beast and for CNN.com Opinion. He has also written articles for various other publications including The Atlantic, The Washington Post and The Huffington Post.

    Yeah, still not comparable to the president of the United States.

    Once again, YankeeFan is going to stack every questionable statement or action ever in the history of liberals and/or Democrats and lump them all together as if they somehow justify President Trump's words and actions.

    Also, he's still ducking the bit about the Newsweek headline. I do so love when he proves me right. Thanks YF!

    Now ban abortion and add 900,000 kids each and every year to the foster system and adoption rolls. Let's see how well the system works then.

    The truth will set you free. And if it won't, then lie and lie some more.

    The right wing nuts haven’t been at the forefront of adoptions. The hateful republicans in congress removed the adoption tax credit. None of the states really do foster care well but the antiabortion states don’t seem to care about those lives.

    I had not heard of the story in 2014. If it gives you a rage boner to say Obama did it too, fill your boots.

    Seems Trump could end the policy with one phone call. A decent person would make that call.

    Couldn't the same be said about whoever was president in 2014?

    And why wasn't this a bigger story four years ago? Anyone on here who is a journalist should be embarrassed by these continued gaffes. Can't cry and whine about the job someone else does if you keep fucking up your own. Trump doesn't give any journalist an excuse to be bad at his/her job.

    He said, “my bad.” That’s stronger tban, “fair enough.”

    Well, the Washington Post from d write about it in 2015, and said they Obama had declared unaccompanied children at the border to be a humanitarian crisis and sought an additional $400 million to help them.

    Another conservative conspiracy theory and typical media blame bites the dust.

    Hey look, the New York Times and Mother Jones and Brookings also covered this story in 2014. But, you know .... MEDIA BAD!!!

    Children at the Border

    70,000 kids will show up alone at our border this year. What happens to them?
