Today in Republican depravity, Laura Ingraham calls child detention centers "essentially summer camps," Anne Coulter says these are all "child actors" hired by Liberals, Rush Limbaugh says this is a "manufactured crisis" by the Left, FOX News says it isn't that bad because the children get to play "soccer and video games," and the Drudge Report uses a fake image of Syrian teens playing with toy guns in an attempt to depict migrant children as violent threats.

So, you are endorsing using scriptures as a foundation for government policy(s)?

Yes, substupid actually asked this question. And he is still following the Right wing's attempt to equate that unique situation (a kid being given back to his parent) with what's going on today with thousands of children being forcibly removed from their parents. The former being a matter of following an actual law, and the latter having to do with an idiotic policy created by a man who says he doesn't know anything about it. But anyway... from NYT 2000:

So NOW your position contradicts Mak's since Republicans have also criticized the current policy?

(and for your feeble little mind...both are matters of actual law)

Hey at least you did not mind kids being behind chain link in 2014, because Obama's reason was mo better....(again, we are pretending you actually knew back in 2014 even though you have already exhibited that you have mostly been blissfully unaware of your hypocritical stupidity).

The Trump admin is putting out 3 distinct messages on the family separation policy at the same time:

1) It's awesome, appropriate, and Biblical and we're glad we decided to do it.

2) It's regrettable, but a necessary consequence of laws Democrats passed and cannot be fixed unless the Democrats agree to concessions to Republican immigration policy demands.

3) It's not happening.

This is either a function of rank incompetence in getting a unified message coupled with the admin's complete disregard for anything resembling honesty, or it's a wall of disinformation meant to fatigue people into thinking they cannot know what is real and letting supporters pick their preferred idea. I prefer the former as an explanation, but I get the people who see the latter.

As they should. But this has no comparison to what happened with Gonzalez 18 years ago.

(and for your feeble little mind...both are matters of actual law)


No, they're not. What is happening now is Trump policy, not law.

Kids old enough to trek across country on their own and being temporarily detained, is hardly synonymous with children so young they're dependent on their parents for survival being ripped away from them their mothers so they can sit in a cage with a teddy bear and not be allowed to touch anyone.

A day after receiving some criticism from the UN human rights council, the Trump admin has withdrawn the US from it.
