JerryBaumchen 1,046 #1 Posted October 21, 2020 Hi folks, What a total s*** show: 'Parents of 545 separated children still not found' https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54636223 I'm thinking that the parents of a lot of these kids will never be found. Now what?????? Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,116 #2 October 21, 2020 Some will probably suggest that we keep them locked up, wait until they turn 18, and then deport them. Hopefully not a lot of folks. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #3 October 21, 2020 I had responded to a post earlier on FB today when a similar article popped on a local community group. Some asshat had a response, something to the tune that their missing parents must not be looking very hard to reconnect. Literally one of the most callous things I have heard. I don't care about your political leanings, your feelings about immigration, your assertions of their parents culpability. I honestly think you are the lowest level of human shit if you aren't horrified that children were separated from their parents, and some will never be reunited.

lippy 764 #6 October 21, 2020 And apparently it's not just the parents...in some cases they're not even sure where the kids are at! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,340 #7 October 21, 2020 They are largely with relatives here in the states. Most of the parents were deported after the kids were taken from them and put in cages. It's inhumane, cruel & vicious. You know, standard operating procedure for Trump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, frankly, I'll just bet that some of those relatives are playing ignorant on where the parents are; I would. Too many people want to punish for what they see as wrongdoing; the harsher the punishment, the better they feel. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,116 #13 October 27, 2020 The cages? The ones that were built for unaccompanied children? As 72-hour holding facilities, rather than permanent housing? Isn't that like asking who manufactured the gun? I guess you figure the Obama administration should have known that whoever followed him would think that it was OK to just keep them in there permanently, and not built them at all. And veterinarians shouldn't have crates because puppy mills also use them. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"In every regard, his leaving office makes it easier for prosecutors and plaintiffs in civil cases to pursue their cases against him," said Harry Sandick, a former federal prosecutor in the Manhattan US attorney's office. "For example, he is claiming a higher protection from subpoenas in the criminal cases and also in the congressional subpoena cases, [and that] is based largely on the fact that he is President." Some have suggested a formal apparatus for investigating Trump after he leaves office. Rep. Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat, has floated the creation of a "Presidential Crimes Commission," made up of independent prosecutors who can examine "those who enabled a corrupt president," as he put it in an August tweet. "Example 1: Sabotaging the mail to win an election." The most serious legal threat facing Trump is the Manhattan district attorney's broad criminal investigation into the financial workings of the Trump Organization. Prosecutors have suggested in court filings that the investigation could examine whether the President and his company engaged in bank fraud, insurance fraud, criminal tax fraud and falsification of business records.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” The above originated with Mein Kampf of course but it was Goebbels, Hitler and later Donald trump that used it to best effects.
