Targeting El Paso

Post by _Icarus »

Frontline Documentary on the child separations at the border:

A Border Patrol agent who separated migrant families says it was 'the most horrible thing I've ever done'
"One of the hardest things for me to accept is the fact that Kevin Graham has blonde hair, blue eyes and an English last name. This ugly truth blows any arguments one might have for actual white supremacism out of the water. He's truly a disgrace." - Ajax

That is a heart breaking documentary, and there is really no reasonable doubt that Trump's and his administration's policies and bigotry have only made the situation worse. I was disgusted by Representative Jordan and others' cavalier dismissal of the hard won, abundant and damning evidence presented by highly respected, hard working and credible investigators and their witnesses as "insubstantial."

I was even more disgusted by the fact that some leading Trump administration officials, hardly dispute, and even seem happy about the fact that the abuses and hardships inflicted on these refugees are not only real, but by deliberate design.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
