While babies sit in 3 week old sh!tty diapers on the border with no soap or beds

And they sleep on concrete floors, soiled with human excrement, wrapped in foil blankets, drinking from bottles that haven't been washed or sanitized in God knows how long...

Democrats are arguing over effing bussing.

Call your goddamned Senators and Representatives and focus on THINGS THAT EFFING MATTER!


JESUS!

The intent is not to prohibit discussion of a legitimate subject on the one hand and help trump on the other hand. But sometimes things turn out this way.

Is consuming the entire forum. This keeps happening with the defensiveness and excuse making over gaffes. The more Democrats are busy defending a candidate from careless mistakes they keep making the LESS time they are talking about things happening RIGHT NOW! It's maddening. I don't blame Harris for what she said and I don't disagree with her. There just doesn't need to be a whole page of new threads about it. It's ridiculous.

Because kidnapping and child abuse is more important than petty crap.

Do we need Sarah McLaughlin to make a commercial showing the vacant, traumatized and distant stares of toddlers inside small kennels to get anyone to give a shit?

Have you called your Senator or Representative yet or are you still bickering over bussing?

If Democrats are going to fight against each other over STUPID things and being too stubborn to just apologize when you are wrong we may as well just congratulate Trump on re-election right now.


Who has called their Senators and Representatives?

I have.

14. A neglected but important fact

The immigration jails/detention centers/concentration camps have been operating for more than two years and yet asylum seekers still come to our border. That father and child who drowned on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande last week KNEW IN ADVANCE that the father would be thrown in jail and the baby would be put in a cage, AND YET THEY CAME ANYWAY. These thousands of people have endured treks of thousands of miles, terrible risks and privations and traumas, knowing already the hideous welcome Homeland Security had waiting for them.

They did it because their homelands are real shitholes; so awful that they cannot move to a better part of their own country, so godawful that a US detention center, with all its bad publicity, is an inviting attraction. And they will continue coming, and taking them all in means we may have to slam the gates on refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants from all the other continents.

The only real solution is some sort of humanitarian intervention in those South American countries that these people are fleeing. Ending the crime, corruption, disease, and grinding poverty there means fewer of their people pounding on our own door.

It's in his immigration plan.

He is having a rally tomorrow at the Clint facility where the conditions are so horrendous and abusive. I hope the media will actually cover it but they probably won't because they are too busy talking about stupid crap that doesn't even matter.
