“The people are suffering because of the Democrats,” Trump said. “So, we’ve created, and they’ve created, and they’ve let it happen — a massive child smuggling industry. That’s exactly what it has become.”

quote:

There are indications that Trump has embraced QAnon, at least to a point. As Right Wing Watch details, a QAnon truther was given VIP access to Trump’s rally on Wednesday evening in Duluth, Minnesota.

This is some next-level bad poo poo. The fringe right doesn’t need any more validation, and Trump is just shoveling it on them.

Keep up the pressure anyway. I've read up a little bit and it's always been the agenda of the Trump admin and Jeff Sessions in particular to kill the Flores settlement. And that's what the EO is actually about. It's looking to scrap Flores so they can detain (illegal) immigrants indefinitely and probably under worse circumstances than Flores sets as the minimum.

Edit: Also, for clarification, because I didn't know this; illegal entry is a class B federal misdemeanor, which puts it on par with a bunch of other silly "crimes" such as the transporting of water hyacinths across state border, that have no moral implications whatsoever. These are being tried for illegal entry, get sentenced if they don't plead guilty, and end up going to prison for less than a week because of time served and are then booted out of the country. It's literally the old process but with separating them from their children and clogging up of the justice system.

I promised to try harder to consider other team members feelings when speaking about my naturalization being potentially under review, and discussing disappearing children being a loving national embarrassment and shame.

It's just... disappointing.

I usually kind of tune out my right wing acquaintances when they bring up Fox News talking points.

But their response to kids in internment camps seems more morally bankrupt than usual.

It's the whataboutism that gets to me more than anything. Guys I know, guys who I served with, who are posting a dozen times a day on facebook to claim President Obama did worse, and how this isn't even bad, and how it's the lawwwww.

Up until now, I thought they were ignorant, or that they came to different conclusions based on the same evidence.

Now at last I realize that they're just bootlickers and quislings.
