Trump reverses migrant separation policy

It’s an awful jacket given what’s going on, but I cannot believe she would wear it purposefully to antagonize people. I think she’s just dumb and politically tone deaf.
 
Will someone explain to me why the misleading argument that something similar happened during Obama's, Bush's or Clinton's administrations have anything to do with our current immigration policy mess? And what's the point of trying to make people feel bad because they weren't up in arms about an issue that hadn't yet captured the collective imagination?

It's like saying that Abraham Lincoln should have not bothered with the slavery issue because George Washington and subsequent presidents didn't fix it. It's a lame argument that does absolutely nothing to further social progress. There are a million issues that aren't being dealt with yet that we will be upset about in the future, and it doesn't mean we are bad people now because we haven't realized yet that we need to care about them.

Our current executive and legislative branches are doing a pretty crappy job of governing considering the power they should be able to wield. Blaming former administrations just makes them look petty and even weaker than they already look.

And apparently so are all of the people who work with her. Not one single person figured out how bad that looks?

Well ya, everyone in the White House is dumb and politically tone deaf apparently.

It makes you wonder why the media never brought it to large attention. It was reported on, sparingly, so clearly people knew about it. It seems to point towards a large bias towards/against certain people. Then you get people blaming all of it on Trump, even showing photos from 2014. Which yeah, we should blame Trump for a lot of this...but making it seem like he’s the only reason for it, that’s just not progressing things. It’s why the left lost. Y’all still can’t figure it out.

Do her clothes need to be vetted by the entire WH staff? I assumed she saw the jacket, said "cute!", bought it, then wore it.

I suspect it hasn't been brought up in a major way before because the vast majority of us didn't really want to think about the issue on anything other than a surface level. It didn't personally impact us enough to concern ourselves with, and so it wasn't a hot enough political issue for the media to focus on. But mistreated children break through otherwise uncaring hearts. Every issue has its time eventually. It just takes something to emotionally move us enough.

But a lot of people would have seen her, and someone should have pointed out the problem. She doesn't live in a bubble.
