I think the people of this country should demand an audit of the books fpr these camps.

Paying $775/person/day seems like an extremely high fee for what they are/aren't getting. I don't think they expect luxury accommodations, but it is obvious they aren't even receiving the basic needs.


I would guess that many of the "owners" of these facilities that are being rented/contracted are friends or large contributors to the Trump campaigns. That, in itself, should raise a warning flag.


As a taxpayer, I believe we have the right to see where the money is being spent. Reports are showing where it is NOT!

a count of “bodies” every couple days and send that in for payment? They don’t know who these kids are or even WHERE they are really, so - WTF???

Haul em in to an OPEN hearing, and turn their accounting books over to finCEN and do a forensic investigation. (Barr’s daughter is working there now, so keep her tf away from it)

Quite simple, actually

7. Didn't a son also get a job after Barr became AG?

Was the daughter's job also a part of the AG deal? If so, that was quite a package. It would make a daddy proud.

Nepotism scores again!

8. According to the SDNY, at least one of their charities was a family bank.

Weren't the family members caught taking money from at least one charity? You know darned well that if they did so, it wasn't the first charity they stole from.

The SDNY needs to bring forth their findings asap. However, seeing how complicated the web of Trump businesses are, it could take a couple lifetimes to finish an investigation.

...to make absolutely sure that if they are pregnant they stay pregnant.

As someone said at the very outset: the cruelty is the point. It's not a bug, it's a feature. It's not incompetence, it's by design.
