hold him Accountable for this nightmare he unleashed on these families seeking asylum.



"There is no federal law mandating children and parents be separated at the border; a policy resulting in that outcome was enacted in May 2018."

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/was-law-separate-families-passed-1997/

"But there is no law that mandates separating children from their parents. Trump’s own administration devised a policy to that effect."

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/may/29/donald-trump/trump-blames-democrat-own-policy-separating-family/

This should say.. "Can't Stand to Look at this Fucking Lying Face Anymore"

Trump needs to release the children and return them to their families... NOW... all in bright sunlight under the auspices of both parties of congress, humanitarian organizations, and the free press.

And then it would be a good thing if he resigned... in disgrace.

Wed Jun 20, 2018, 12:05 PM
Jun 2018

In early days of Third Reich, Nazis ran a program of sterilization and euthanasia at mental facilities. When German People found out, the outcry forced Nazis to stop the program. Only a temporary respite, of course. After more indoctrination and suppression of free press, the Nazis continued with zeal.

Beware America! Even if this is stopped, trump and gop has shown America what they are. Vigilance is needed.

Trump’s attempt to undo the horrific wrongdoing that he caused isn’t going to help much.

You can’t just say “Oops, I didn’t mean to commit atrocities.”

If he does stop this horror show, the next round of stories will be parents whose children can’t be located, injuries to kids while incarcerated and stories from the kids themselves about mistreatment and misery.

I hope this does end today and they do a better job reuniting families than I expect. But I’m not optimistic.

I have yet to see the reasoning behind separating families. Is it to punish the parents for coming here? Something else illogical to blame on Dems? Sell the kids to pay for his wall?
