1. I imagine they'll be shaving kids' heads soon when the luce

Problem becomes too difficult to manage. Lice is really hard to get rid of.


The judges practically told her to use her common sense.

2. If it was my job to argue that soap and beds were NOT required for "safe and sanitary" conditions

for children, I would resign and make a big stink on my way out the door. There is such a thing as "right livlihood," which is part of the Buddhist 8-fold path of virtuous behavior. "Right speech" is also part of the 8-fold path. Right livlihood means, among other things, not employed in work that is harmful to others. And right speech means not lying, not speaking harshly, no divisive language, and certainly not voicing spurious bullshit arguments in a court of law. Arguments meant to deprive children of decent humane treatment.

Pigs for slaughter are treated better than these children are being treated. I do not understand how any person could tolerate acting with such cruelty and indifference.

3. Well said, but do these arguments startle you? I doubt it. Imo, these extreme

inhumane arguments are made specifically to help Trump appear "tough" for his re-election. I despise his base, I truly do.

12. No I am not startled, but I am pissed off about it

That my country would engage in such behavior fills me with shame. Perhaps appearing tough is the motive, but to me it's more about being unwilling to spend any money on people deemed as less than human.

[BeckyDem]

13. That could be, and I don't mean to suggest Trump's only interest is his base.

He is a racist, what he feeds them is not just from a politically strategic stand point.

4. Welcome to Amerikastan!

Who treats little kids like they're animal? Some failed, war torn third world country, a brutal Banana Republic, maybe a remote gulag run by a sadistic camp commandant, oh... and Trump's Baby Jails inside his tent city concentration camps.



Trump still thinks people love him.

5. That lawyer's attempt to defend the "no soap" was painful to watch.

[BeckyDem]

7. Yes and this is what the Republican Party is about.

If I am wrong, the Dem candidate, whoever that may be, will win in a landslide like we have never seen before.

I find them to support evil, I hope they prove me wrong and more of them wake the hell up.

6. Up next: "Are we actually required to feed these children?" Stay tuned!

[Wounded Bear]

9. Well, if they don't feed them, it'll save money on toilet paper...

8. This border situation is absolutely heart-wrenching and horrifying

The so-called "Justice Department's" argument for the right to treat these children with a total and complete lack of humanity is disgusting and un-American. In fact, it is surprising that the children are still being fed At. All. Since holding these innocents in concentration camps is such an obvious obscenity, and will no doubt lead to world-wide condemnation, something decisive will have to be done to make sure the narrative changes for the "good of all".

I am just wondering who, in the trumpkin faux-administration, will take credit for proposing the final solution?

10. For those who want to follow all the details, here is the entire hearing

[BeckyDem]

11. Thank you very much.

[spanone]

14. where do they find people willing to argue this shit?

hard to believe

15. They advocate for Trump policy and to be honest, when did the cons ever get behind

civil/human rights?
