She's on the ground at JFK. Now it's out of my hands. I can't sit still. They separated my wife from me once

and I will hate these people for the rest of my being. Each time I go through the border, I cannot conceal my deep rooted hatred and contempt for these assholes that "are just doing my job." That didn't work for the guards at Auschwitz.

I expect the worst as she goes through immigration but hope for the best.

Through immigration when she first landed in Miami with her "packet" in 2013. It's maddening because they also aren't allowed to use phones in those areas.

But she did come out and ironically her first night in America was at Trump Doral (thanks Priceline; those days of blind Priceline deals).

So sorry. Take care of yourself so you can be there for her.

None of us is safe. America is gone.

so here's hoping the most overly punctilious bureaucrat can't find a stray or missing mark on the paperwork, sighs in frustration at having his day ruined, and waves her on through.
