    I wonder how many separated children the NYT could have tracked down if it put its 6-person Dershowitz beat on reuniting kids with their parents?

        Why is it the NYT’s obligation to reunite children the trump administration kidnapped? HHS and DHS. have all the records

        With respect, you know that the NYT has had dozens of journalists working on stories about these topics.a recent favorite of mine:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/03/nyregion/migrant-mother-reunited-children.html …

        With respect, @nytimes has done more stories about Dershowitz's snowflaky Martha's Vineyard grievances (3) than about Donald Trump's history of brazen money laundering (0) during the primaries and general election combined. That's why I cancelled my subscription. With respect.

        I wonder how many separated children noted Civil Rights Attorney Alan Dershowitz could have helped if he wasn't busy whining about being shunned by the Martha's Vineyard hoi-polloi.

        Were they to give half a fuck about our democracy, I wonder what the Pulitzer winning @NYT team could uncover about Pence - whose Christian Nationalist fanaticism is much scarier than Trump. Moreover, Manafort picked Pence & Pence headed the T-Transition. Let's start with that.

        I think you're confusing social workers with journalists.

        Ah, yes. Because journalists never go looking for things that the government says are hard/impossible to find.

        I’d like to say it’s time to start shunning @nytimes reporters, but they’d love to write about their own victimization.

        but the reporters would rather be in Martha's Vineyard, pretending to be serious journalists.

        Jeremy Peters team is only for reuniting authoritarian scolds with former old money bridge partners.
