re: Disrespecting the President

I'm hearing reports that the kids locked up in cages were very disturbed when they learned that the Nats stadium chanted "lock him up." Those children do not like it when we disrespect our president.

Our previous experience hasn't prepared our vocabulary for this level of disgust and outrage.

I did it last year before midterms, so it's been awhile.

Off the top of my head at this time, I looked up "crimes against humanity." There is some international agreement against what we're doing at the border, where many nations signed on to the agreement. The US endorsed it but never signed it, so we are not held to the standard. But, basically, what we are doing to the children is considered a crime against humanity by many civilized nations.

Despite what many people think, humans are fragile, and what happens to those kids will scar them for life. I loathe Trump et al. We HAVE to get rid of them all. We can do better than this!
