re: #16 Patricia Kayden

CORKER on family separation at the border: “What we’re doing right now is not appropriate.”

Says “this is something that the administration needs to take ownership on,” and “the administration can fix this in one minute if they choose.”

and again, even if they fix it immediately, make them own what they have done until ALL the children have been reunited.

For sure: Sen. Corker’s oh-so-heartfelt concerns strike me as being the equivalent of the equally “sincere” “thoughts and prayers” comments offered up (in lieu of substantive action) after mass shootings and the like. For all that Bob Corker is popular assumed* to be so much the “anti-Trump” Republican, he (like most of his Senate GOP colleagues) seem to vastly prefer talk to action when it comes to opposing ANY Administration initiative (even the worst).
