..This is not difficult to understand. Everyone knows what is going on. Filth, dirt, no soap, children throwing up, no clothes to change into, sleeping on floors, lots of children in very small areas, and the rest of it is very easy to understand. Eventually, we will see what inhuman conditions Trump has been in charge of. As word gets out, and if no pictures are available, then artists renditions will be enough. The older kids will be asked to describe where they were, and what they saw. It is a horror that the U.S.A. will always regret. And as Trump defends himself, he will be destroyed forever with the truth. It won't be pretty but it will happen. Trump doesn't give a damn about the children, but when his name is destroyed forever he will understand. Trump is in charge, and Trump is responsible for this horror. And his lies will live forever as will these three words which will always describe his time in office.. "Children in Cages."

(115,267 posts)Trump's political demise has been prematurely predicted many times. To his base and the GOPers in Congress, immigrant children in cages is a feature, not a bug.

(38,359 posts)...But most adults either have children, or know others who have children. Treating children like this is awful beyond words. When the truth emerges in pictures or artists renditions, that will do it. The pictures will do, what was not done before. They will destroy Trump and his Name/Brand forever. As has been said, we are not allowed to treat pets like this. This might take time. But it will happen. Trump cannot defend treating children like this. Maybe some won't care. Maybe 25 percent won't care. But the rest of us do care. The rest of the U.S.A. will care enough not to vote for Trump or ever have anything to do with the name, "Trump"

(115,267 posts)They are brown Latino children who are invading the United States carrying diseases and who will grow up to be members of MS-13 and will rape and kill our wimminfolk. They aren't the normal children of actual humans.
of course.

(353 posts)The video of of that Trump administration lawyer arguing against providing toothbrushes, soap and blankets to children will hurt them as it continues to be a representation of their horrific policy.
He's Jim Jones on a national scale and his MAGAts are are every bit as committed as Jones' followers were. Plus these kids are brown, so...

We can help these children get the help they deserve. And we can send a message to the administration that we won't stand for this. We just wont. #CloseTheCamps

Since yesterday, we've raised over $220,000 together for groups helping kids and families at the border.
Thank you so much.
Can we get to $250,000 today? https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kids-and-families-border?refcode=062419tw

(53,410 posts)I guess some people think Trump is now a permanent fixture as is and that things will never, ever change. Im sure people thought Hitler was too, or Stalin, Saddam Hussein, or any other dictator that ever was.
He will be remembered for this, and it will forever make him an evil stain in our history. He is not a permanent fixture. Not by a long shot. But he is an embarrassment we will have to overcome if we want the world to believe in us again.

(8,915 posts)I dont know how representative yahoo is, but 3/4
are a variation on good, they deserve it. We dont want them here.
Around 1/3 of our country admits to believing its okay to take children from their parents and put them in cages (based on the number of die-hard Trump supporters) and who knows how many believe it and dont admit it.
Those people have no humanity and cannot be shamed. Children in cages will not change that.

(45,252 posts)Growing up when they would teach us about the detention camps in the US, the treatment of Native Americans, Slavery, and the Holocaust, the main lesson was to make sure this never happens again. Yet here we are.
Germany didn't start with death camps. And there were plenty of people making excuses back then too since it didn't affect them personally.
It starts with dehumanizing human beings and using war language to make rational people accept the unacceptable. Anyone who disagrees is the enemy. They divide people against each other.

(518 posts)... These children are not prisoners.
If they were prisoners they'd be legally entitled to beds, blankets, soap, toothbrushes, medical attention, and roomier accommodations.
But,as they haven't committed a crime, they get none of those things.
RockRaven
(14,782 posts)People don't care that Trump raped women, that Trump raped girls... and you think they are going to care that unnamed DHS, HHS, CBP, ICE, private prison staff mistreated kids by withholding food, drink, medicine, bathing, bedding?
I wish I was as confident as you are about this, because I'm not. That would probably feel better than I do now.

(2,012 posts)My dear granddaughter just sent me a picture of my precious 4 month old great granddaughter sucking on a screen in her crib. I asked her not to send any more pictures that look like cages; I simply can't bear it. I have 11 great grandchildren, all perfect of course, and so loved and cared for. But any one of them could have had a parent who had to flee to this country for a better life and now be in a cage without their family.
We can't save the millions of refugee children around the world but we MUST try to at least bring the children on our borders back to their families and give them the chance to grow up in a safe environment. Remember how our families came to this great country.

Stuart G
(38,359 posts)Somewhere and somehow Trump needs to be put on trial and convicted for Crimes Against Humanity But we should note that Trump always denies everything. He says he never raped this woman or that women when he did.
..But Trump has not denied that some of the children are in cages. Like he has not said, "Children are not in cages anywhere." has he? He really doesn't care at all.

(5,275 posts)The guy lacks any kind of empathy. He is a despicable. You have this, you have 20 some women who have accused him of rape.
And yet, his base thinks he is the greatest thing ever. It has become a cult. And watching this monster he reminds me more of Mussolini than Hitler, the way he rolls his head back with his jaw pointing up after he spews out the evil red meat, his blaming of the Other.
Those of us for truth and justice need to show up, vote this evil creep out, take the gavel out of the Turtle Mitchs hand.
