Truth and facts are not political! It is the truth and a fact Obama did not use immigrants kids as human shields to get his political agenda tended to.
Obama caged immigrant boys. That does not make it OK to cage kids! If boys cross the border without their families, why can't we just turn them around?
Obama never needed "Tender Age" shelters!
Obama never held kids hostage for politics.
Obama never asked for a wasteful Wall! Come on folks, we do not need a freaking Wall.
Any clear thinker will realize the key is Legislation, not a Wall to waste $$$$$$$$$ billions!
Even if there was a true emergency situation of immigrants crossing the border, we must not traumatize kids for the sake of politics! My God what has happened to America?!
This is truly "Make America HATE Again!" or hate even more than we already hated everyone not white!
Fox News either gives Tweety his lies or parrots his lies with respect to many, many pronouncements, but especially for the human rights travesty of taking immigrant babies ab toddlers form their parents.
THEN the facts were muddled by a confused Obama supporter, looking very tribal. BAD! Damn him! Obama administration put boys in pens too.
The kids put in pens by Obama were kids that came across the border WITHOUT THEIR FAMILIES! There were no toddlers or babies!
The f**k-up tweet by an Obama supporter mistakenly took images of kids in cages / pens from a 2014 pic to criticize Trump. Careless, and tribal. I hate tribal. Stick to the facts. Give the facts oxygen!
Here's the story.
"Obama officials rushed to explain photos from 2014 that went viral showing locked-up immigrant children — and Trump's facilities look the same"

" - Several 2014 photos of detained immigrant children in cages went viral in May, and former Obama administration officials rushed to offer explanations.
- The former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau had even shared the images on Twitter, mistakenly believing they were taken during Donald Trump's presidency.
- The former officials doubled down on their criticisms of Trump's immigration policies, and said the 2014 photos showed unaccompanied children the government had been attempting to place with family members.
- On June 17, reporters toured a similar government holding facility in McAllen, Texas, where migrant families are separated from one another and held in cages."
Fox News thinks they are doing a service for America by going to he Border Patrol to have the capture process explained. The Border Patrol has to support Trump's call for legislation, they work for him! There is no onslaught of immigrants, there is an onslaught of arrests under the 100% arrest POLICY! The 100% no exception arrest POLICY is the new part of the system, so that, upon arrest, kids are taken hostage!
Kid hostages ae based on a Trump/Sessions/Nielsen POLICY!
If people commit a serious crime their kids can be taken. Walking across the border, reporting to a Border Patrol Officer, IS NOT A SERIOUS CRIME! This is not a crime justifying separating kids from their families!
The Border Patrol explanation was gratuitous, gratuitous! Border Patrol, Trump employees, do not explain the FACT Trump can ORDER an immediate halt to the hostage taking if he chooses to do so.
"Trump’s Cruelty and the Crying Children at the Border"
By David Remnick June 19, 2018
"The innocence of children is, in large measure, defined by their shock when confronted by the cruelty of the adult world. When you see a child being smacked across the face by an adult three or four times her size, the child’s expression is often one less of pain than of confusion. In “The Fire Next Time,” James Baldwin described, in 1963, how black children were innocent of a “basic” American reality—that “white people hold the power”—and only slowly began to sense the anxiety of parents fearful that their son or daughter might challenge the world’s assumptions. It is a small mercy, Baldwin suggests, that full understanding comes only with time: “A child cannot, thank Heaven, know how vast and how merciless is the nature of power, with what unbelievable cruelty people treat each other.”
On the Texas side of the Mexican border today, thousands of children, by order of the Trump Administration, are learning what it is to be objects of deliberate state-sponsored cruelty."
State sponsored TERROR is a better way to put it.
"In a heartless act designed to arouse the furies of his electoral base, the President has ordered children to be separated from their parents and stowed in tent cities and cages and a hollowed-out former Walmart. The Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, justifies this act of “zero tolerance” by quoting from Scripture: “I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13, to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order. Orderly and lawful processes are good in themselves and protect the weak and lawful.” This is the political leadership of the United States—at once cruel and sanctimonious. And it is on this platform of division, fear, and cruelty that the President has chosen to lead his party into the 2018 midterm elections.
Will Americans tolerate this? Will Trump supporters support this?
" . . . it is on this platform of division, fear, and cruelty that the President has chosen to lead his party into the 2018 midterm elections."
There is no God, but if there was a God, NOW is surely when he/she/it would step in to save the children! God Damn Donald Trump!
"What is happening now is purely gratuitous, a deliberate act of cruelty intended as leverage to build a “beautiful wall.” And it is a wall intended not only to block Mexicans and Central Americans from making their way into the United States but to divide the United States itself, in order to retain power.On the level of character, no one can be much surprised by the latest cruelty in Donald Trump. How much reminding is necessary? Mexicans are “rapists.” John McCain is no war hero. Maxine Waters is a “very low I.Q. individual.” Trump imitates the tremors of a disabled journalist. He insults the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and then, in the midst of that island’s devastation, stops by to toss rolls of paper towels to the needy. He revels in insulting Chris Christie, who was briefly the chairman of his transition team (“No more Oreos!”); he finds ever-more disgusting and misogynist ways to humiliate Megyn Kelly, Mika Brzezinski, Carly Fiorina, and, above all, Hillary Clinton. With a smirk, he tosses a clump of mud at a Gold Star family. Trump’s biographers make it plain that he is a man incapable of empathy, charity, compassion, or generosity. Ask yourself when you last saw Donald Trump commit an act of genuine kindness. When did he last make a joke that wasn’t at someone else’s expense? He has not only proved ruthless to his enemies, real and perceived, he has also turned on employees, mentors, family members, and loyal aides. Cruelty is the content of his character and the foundation of his politics."
Trump is not human!
"Cruelty is the content of his character and the foundation of his politics."
Donald Trump's existence is, as Stephen Miller's is, to act on and inspire the maximum amount of evil in this world. PERIOD.
Disingenuous and incomplete Fox News reporting supports Trump all the way to Hell!
"Trump has now decided that maximal aggression, relentless deception, and racialized hostility are the way to solidify the conservative base of the Republican Party. Some G.O.P. stalwarts are nervous that, despite the President’s high poll numbers in the Party, the images of children stripped of their parents will alienate voters, particularly suburbanites, in November. As Liesl Hickey, a Republican strategist, tells the Times, this approach is “not a winning issue.” At some point, Trump may find it necessary to dial back this particular act of heedless cruelty. It can’t be entirely lost on him that five First Ladies, including, to a very measured degree, his own wife, find the situation intolerable. But don’t count on it. Trump has reached a point where his self-adoring faith in his own instincts has only intensified. He has cast out of his circle nearly everyone who dared to disagree with him, and there are very few figures of substance in the Republican Party or the conservative media who have the spine or the decency to stand up to him with any consistency. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants only to preserve the Republican majority in Congress—that is his only evident value—and Fox propagandists like Laura Ingraham will go on insisting that the facilities in Texas are “essentially summer camps.”"
I cannot believe the low level Laura Ingram stops to to be Trump's "girl."
". . . Laura Ingraham will go on insisting that the facilities in Texas are “essentially summer camps.”"
