What in hell have we become?

[democrank]

The United States of America has some new rules. If you’re a child and an adult tried to get you into this country via an unacceptable route, we’re going to make sure you are never given a bar of soap. And, if you lose your lice comb (the one you were told to share with others) you will sleep directly on the concrete.

In case you think you’re going to hang around in the “lap of luxury”, we’re going to set the temperature near the freezing mark and keep the lights on all night. Don’t ask for a real blanket. The answer is NO.

Remember your Mother? You’ll probably never see her again, and you won’t see your Father either. If you’re female and about twelve years old, you’re going to be given a stranger’s infant to take care of. If the baby cries, figure it out because nobody gives a shit.

So you’re eighteen and just gave birth and have breast milk all over the shirt you’ve been wearing for three months? TOUGH. Don’t expect a shower because the answer to that is NO.

And for you lawyers out there....you do-gooders....have fun in the clogged courts. Good luck trying to find a translator. Good luck trying to match kids up with their parents. Good luck searching for documents that aren’t there.

Yup....New Rules. Put people in their place. Let ‘em know that there is a Pecking Order here and the top is always pure, bright white.

When you stop and think about it, conspiring with Russia is NOTHING compared to some reckless 11-year old sneaking into the country you love so very much. We just can’t overlook certain things.

9. Exactly my own immediate thought!

I have to agree with those who say that Trump's followers are scarier than Trump himself. He has "only" thirty percent of the country behind him? That means nearly one third of our citizens are "Deplorables." Sorry, but for all the flack she took, Hillary was absolutely correct in coming up with that moniker. I always knew there were a few Deplorables around, but their sheer numbers are almost paralyzingly disheartening. I'm always reminded, as well, of George Carlin's classic reminder that if there is an "average" intelligence, then half of Americans are BELOW average intelligence.

21. +++ agree

6. we are headed to Christofascist Theocracy

7. Totally Democrank this shit is pure evil

[Midnightwalk]

8. Lice

No showers, no soap, no clean clothes. And fucking lice combs.

America is a disgrace.

[2naSalit]

16. And don't forget the

verbal, psychological and sexual abuse.

[Midnightwalk]

22. I know

I know lice isn’t the worse thing these poor people are enduring but the juxtaposition of lice combs without basic hygiene like soap and clean clothes is so blatant.

I didn’t even make the connection until this morning. Of course there is a lice problem. What the hell good are the combs?

And yet that bitch Sarah Fabian stood in front of the judges saying soap wasn’t a part of sanitary conditions. This is intentional from the guards up through every level of ICE and into the DOJ at least.

Lice is always a problem in concentration camps. There will eventually be outbreaks of disease and many more deaths.

24. It's been the plan all along...nt

[paleotn]

10. We haven't become anything. Some among us have always been this way...

It use to be up front and out in the open. Racism. Genocide of native peoples. Bigotry of anyone different from ourselves. But times changed and such things were relegated to the shadows. Jokes among coworkers and friends. Racial slurs whispered. Then along came the conservative movement, the Christian right and all their spawn. They made it OK once again to openly be an asinine jackass.

11. we have become our own, worst nightmare, an out of control fascist state that will, someday, come to

a tragic and terrible end.

12. Blind

As David Byrne sang (with the Talking Heads) in 1988...

It was light
By five
Torn all apart
All in the name of democracy
He's hurt
He's dying
Claimed he was a terrorist
Claimed to avert a catastrophe
Someone should'a told him
That the buck stops here
No one ever said
That he was involved with thieves
...
He was shot down in the night! People
ride by but his body's still alive
The girl in the window what has she
Done? She looks down at me
Says: "I don't want to die!"
...
Somebody could have told us where they go
Crawling all around looking for foot, foot, footprints
Now tell me what the hell have we become?
Some dirty little bastards what the hell is going on?

13. We are all Nazis 2.0.

It sucks!

[GeorgeGist]

14. Sociopaths

[WhiskeyGrinder]

15. This country was built on blood and violence to families. 'Twas ever thus.

[2naSalit]

17. Sadly true...nt

[Turin_C3PO]

19. We were getting better though.

Moving in the right direction with President Obama.

[kimbutgar]

18. Just when you think it can't get any worst it gets worst

Fat Donnie and the repukes are so inhumane and it’s blasphemous they call themselves Christian!

They are disciplines of the devil.

[Initech]

20. We went from "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses..."

To: "Go fuck yourselves, country's closed. Moose out front should have told you."

[dweller]

revenge is a dish best served cold ...
