I think the whole thing has been manufactured while the House tackles a balanced budget amendment, made necessary by tRump's tax scam. Bye bye SS, Medicare and Medicaid.

(30,613 posts)Time to kick him while he's down. Hang this atrocity around every single GOP candidate from now until November. Play the audio over and over and over in campaign ads. This will never be forgiven nor forgotten.

"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. Trumps own administration devised a policy to that effect."

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

(45,021 posts)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.

(9,897 posts)The image that follows (babies in prison cells), horrifies most people at their core. It makes Stephen Miller aroused...
The evil we face has only shown a fraction of its depravity to date...there is much, much worse in store...

(37,162 posts)...it was the fact that they, not Trump, will be the ones paying an electoral price for those baby prisons.
They saw a PR problem, not an abomination.

(1,474 posts)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.

(2,064 posts)Trumps attempt to undo the horrific wrongdoing that he caused isnt going to help much.
You cant just say Oops, I didnt mean to commit atrocities.
If he does stop this horror show, the next round of stories will be parents whose children cant 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 Im not optimistic.

(22,163 posts)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?
