Watching the CBS special on separated migrant children.

Fucking trump. He should be thrown from office for that alone. The pure evil it requires to DESIGN a policy of family separation is beyond what people can even comprehend, I think. He and that vapid fucking succubus Nielsen should fry for the distress they've inflicted on those children.

when I was 14 I was separated from my family and it was hard, even though when I was sent back to the states I was with an aunt and uncle and the language was the same.....I just cannot imagine what it's like for those border kids

They will survive...but damaged, thanks to his heinous crimes against humanity.

This will be a wound they’ll carry with them for life.

How on earth do you fix something like this?

However, these separations are crimes against humanity. And since the right has declared war on immigrants, we can call them war crimes. Many of the actions fit the definition of genocide.

And, these stinking private for-profit prisons don't even have showers, many of them, and the greed-heads were withholding blankets, medicine, adequate food and even diapers from the victims because they wanted to maximize profit for their disgusting and immoral shareholders. So some fucking billionaire can have 'just a little more.'

Look at your own grandchildren and think of them being separated from their parents, your children and thrown into cages by some racist assholes who don't like them because of the color of their skin.

No, we need TRIALS. There need to be arrests, trials in an international tribunal and justice needs to be served to these people from Trump on down.

In the meantime we should cut the military budget so we can spare NO expense in reuniting these families.

And you know, when Trump is out of office and the chickens have come home to roost, you all can COUNT on me to be quite vocal, obnoxiously vocal, about this issue.

Because these are concentration camps, people. They are, and we have NO business even having them in this country.

Hopefully at least some people who didn't understand this issue or thought it was no big deal will now know differently.
