An 8 month old has been separated from parents for a month.

INFANTS? I do not want to EVER hear another goddamn word from a fucking right wing "evangelical"....they are exposed for what I always took them to be...self-serving, two-face racist liars and irreparable bigots. They better be fast or well-armed if they want to avoid my fist when they pontificate within ear-shot about the "sanctity of life" EVER AGAIN...

Geezuz.
I am sure the worst stories have yet to be told.
Not the cleaned up-for-the-camera clips.


I really want to know Trump's plan to reunite all the families someday, since some of the parent(s) were deported while their children remained in the KKKamp?

What's his big plan for that? Lets ask Kirsten & Stephan.

Continuing his breastfed diet probably made him very uncomfortable, maybe more collicky. He may not have taken easily to a bottle, either.

His mom may have gotten mastitis from abruptly ending breastfeeding and probably did not have even a manual pump to help relieve pressure. With the sufdden drop in prolactin levels, I would be surprised if she wasn't depressed.

Taking thousands of children, many of whom have been travelling under great duress for weeks if not longer, and then ripping them from their families and concentrating them into "insert asinine GOP talking point here" is a recipe for disease transmission and really awful outcomes.

This is going to go from morally reprehensible to out and out murder of innocents within a matter of weeks if not sooner. I just can't believe this country is so far gone on Fox News bullshit that it is even a fucking debate at all...this is repugnant, un-American bullshit on every conceivable level.

Fuck you Trump, just fuck you...

then drag him all the way to Brownsville just like that and make HIM feed that 8 month old.

Never in the history of foreheads has one so deserved a hatchet in the middle.




I hope Avenatti is successful. And I also hope that when he is gone from the White House, Miller is unable to ever get a job for the rest of his fucking life and lives his final days like Joseph McCarthy - in a shame induced drunken stupor.

The drunken stupor maybe. But forget about any of these bastards having shame. They did not get that gene.

Secretary Nilsen is cruel, heartless and deserves to spend the rest of her miserable life listening to the cries of those poor children crying and wailing. I hope that rings in her ears when she tries to sleep at night. All night. Every night.

In fact, the only reason he wouldn't do that is if he preferred to have one of his minions do it for me. Again, I am deadly serious.

...kelly, conway, bannon, gorka; ryan-- hell the entire GOP... hell if hate had a face it would also be that of the two basket of deplorables, one with the "nice" polite racists, but still racist and bigots like the bushes, mccain, corker, flake, romney; in the other basket the rabid kkknazis.

All in all the republikkklan party is the party of hate, bigotry and greed. Trumpf could resign, quit tomorrow and we will still be left with a party who for decades has supported policies against non white, nonchristian, lgbt, women, immigrants and refugees; policies that hurt the poor, sick, disabled; children and the elderly.

Yes, if hate had a face it would be that of the republikkklan party.

I'm calling my US Senators and Representative DAILY on this until the crisis is over and these children are reunited with their parents.

Don't want to let them in? Fine. But DON'T rip children away from their parents. That is SICK BULLSHIT and it has to stop NOW.

Like I said, I'm calling DAILY. I'm also doing several emails to them a week on the same issue, and certainly have signed some petitions.

This has to stop. It is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable. There is no excuse for what these sociopathic criminals have done.



Oh.



I guess I DID have some words, didn't I? But they aren't good ones.
