Cheeto's inspiration?

Argentina tries former dictators for child kidnapping in 2011.

Up to 500 infants were taken from their mothers (who were then killed) by a right-wing dictatorship in the late '70s.

Many were sold to friends of the regime, as well as wealthy Brazilians. Some 127 have since recovered their identities thanks to the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo.

Here's hoping our judiciary catches up with Trump and his thugs, like Argentina's eventually did with theirs.

Rumsfeld and others for war crimes, but the prevailing 'wisdom' at the time was no, not politic to do that at the time.

But you know what? When we flip the Houses of Congress and take back the WH in 2020, we need to HAVE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY.

Some of these sociopathic assholes need to stand trial because these really ARE crimes against humanity. This caging of children is a deal breaker. It has to stop NOW.

Impunity like that is an affront - and in many ways a real threat - to any democracy.
