Watergate was a cover-up. I watched in amazement. How could Nixon and company break the law like that? One fact came out after another after another. And then it went to Nixon...
This is different. This too is illegal, but immoral in a very special way. This hurts and inflicts pain in ways that hurt innocent people, and will hurt them for a very long time. If these illegal immigrants had known that their children would be taken by the government, they would not have even tried to get here. This taking of immigrant children like this had not been done. (not that I know of)..Certainly not like this.
...So, when they broke into the Watergate, they knew that it was illegal. The people that came here looking for a better life, had no idea their children would be confiscated and stolen. Trump did not put out a warning...like.. ".If you come here your kids will be taken from you forever"
........If Trump had issued that warning a few times..and then one, (yes I said one) family was made an example of after the warnings were issued..Then, after that one example, maybe then this would be somewhat acceptable. But warning were not issued....and this is not one family, but hundreds of children taken from their families..what could be..forever.. I don't remember Trump issuing warnings saying if you bring your family to our country, you could lose your children forever Does anyone know of warnings like that?..

(6,139 posts)trump is commiting crimes against humanity; not to mention treason. Watergate was much lower crime that looks like a footnote now

..Trump is much too arrogant and stupid to realize that he has broken laws and ideas that go way beyond just stealing and lying. And he has offended the world and destroyed a reputation of a great country.
