What the fuck?? I mean what the fuck?

[PCIntern]

Taking kids away from their parents to give them showers? Incarcerating them and then quoting Bible to justify it? Saying that it’s the Democrats who are doing this? Lying about everything else? Profiting from the office of the Presidency? Condemning and vilifying our staunchest Allies and then kowtowing to and praising the worst, most villainous dictators in the world? A million million other sins on top of these as well....

You know, people take to the streets in other countries when the transit fares are boosted three cents. Here this orange-u-tan can destroy humanity and we watch the sports networks and drink microbrewery beers. Meanwhile no one will have a single solitary leg to stand on if he or she is accused of a crime because the system for protecting us will have been destroyed.

What is it going to take for the other two-thirds to rise up and say “We’re mad as hell and we aren’t gonna take it anymore!!”?

1. Plug in here with the Poor People's Campaign

June 18 is a national day of action at various state capitals around the country:

[Raine]

34. I wish the media would've covered this

the only network that covered it at all was PBS, no MSNBC, no CNN, "liberal media"? what a myth!

[Docreed2003]

51. The best resistance! Thank you!!!

[lagomorph777]

2. Donald Trump is kidnapping babies and throwing them in concentration camps.

He will end up like Eichmann.

[zentrum]

6. That's it.

And in post-mortems of what the hell ordinary Germans were doing to allow the rise of Nazism——it's explained they were being passive. Like most of our population. And us—if we don't get out into the street.

[bdamomma]

55. tRump will keep pushing

the bar lower, cause he has a very low opinion of the American people and he thinks we don't care let's prove him wrong. Remember when he said the American people weren't interested in seeing his tax returns?? He is playing us short.

[zentrum]

62. Hope you're right.

[volstork]

11. I hope he ends up like Mussolini.

40. I volunteer...

...to pull the lever that opens the trap door.

[Wednesdays]

48. Mussolini was shot, not hanged.

He was strung up after he was already dead, however.

[Texin]

54. And I'll help you shove him over the balustrade and off the balcony.

3. A recession

The state of the economy is a huge predictor of protests and revolutions.

You just don't get nearly as much of it when the economy is ok, and when unemployment is low.

But imagine things if we had a recession, hoo-boy, Donnie would be in real trouble then....

[zentrum]

7. That's true.

I forgot that factor in comparing this situation to Weimar Germany.

[erronis]

8. And now that the "economy" is largely manufactured by made-up figures

Who is to say what slope we are on?

There used to be some strong banking/money-flow reporting and it mainly happened within national borders.

Now the cash/chits flow freely without S.W.I.F.T. overview. Interpol is a dying skeleton.

Recessions and depressions and booms can be summoned at will. Hitler/Stalin would have loved to have these tools manipulation available. Limiting the access to true information will allow the owners to solidify their grip.

Just give me my sofa, beer, fux-tv - I'm in heaven. (Until I'm rendered-meat.)

[kimbutgar]

21. But it was a bad economy that gave Hitler more power

Because only “ he” could fix it. Sound familiar?

[msongs]

9. Enough material here for the Dem party to trash the GOP for generations

Wouldn't it be cool if the D's actually decided this fight was worth fighting?

(instead of kowtowing and 'reaching across the aisle'?)

[brer cat]

31. Here are some "kowtowing" right here:

[suffragette]

58. Pramila Jayapal! So glad we elected her to represent us.

[brer cat]

59. I didn't know anything about her

until recently, but I've been impressed. You are lucky.

[mountain grammy]

10. They're losing track of children

for all we know, some are dead. There's no accountablity for this. Everytime my idiot Senator raises his head, he's bombarded with questions about the children. We've got to keep up that pressure. This is on the trump party.

[AllyCat]

25. I called RoJo today. He isn't certain he can support

Senate Democrats’ bill to protect these kids. Call them all!!

[bdamomma]

28. they are saying they want

to put up tents in the deserts, to house these children, now this is inhumane treatment, punishable by law, ripping a 4 month old baby from it's mother breastfeeding???? this will come back to bite us all. Horrible stuff happening mountain grammy.

[mountain grammy]

37. Yes, it's awful what's happening.

this doesn't have to be this way. There are groups that will sponser and help migrant families while they seek asylum.. Some have family in America. What is being done is heartless and unnecessary.

We should all be calling and writing our reps about this every day.

[bdamomma]

41. I think we really need to be on this and tell our Reps and Senators.

there is no need for this, not in our country. Sessions and tRump are fully committing inhumane acts here.

[mountain grammy]

43. I've got my Senator's number in contacts

and call daily. Once a got a live person. Almost fainted. Then I let him have it.

[Fritz Walter]

12. If I didn't think they'd try this...

I’d suggest that their Plan B would be to follow King Herrod’s lead: slay the young male children. That worked so well 2,018 years ago. The thumpers should be all over this option.

[CaptainTruth]

13. I feel like a bunch of Republicans need a swim in Boston harbor. nt

[liberalmuse]

35. If by "swim" you mean "drown", I agree.

Christian nation, my ass.

[spooky3]

15. The deplorables would have to lose their jobs and believe that Trump is clearly the cause of the

loss, or some other directly personal outcome, before they would care about the damages his administration is doing.

[yuiyoshida]

16. There is A SILVER LINING.... Trump has screwed Republicans

from office for maybe the next 10 or 12 years... because the PEOPLE of this NATION will NOT FORGET how fucked up its been since He was elected... and THEY damn sure will not vote for Republicans for a long damn time..

[PCIntern]

19. I heard this in 1964 about Barry G.

1968 we had Nixon

[yuiyoshida]

22. Nixon was bad, but NIXON didn't Throw children in INTERNMENT

camps nor did he CUDDLED up with a North Korea Dictator. Nixon's daughter nor his family were ever up on Corruption charges, either.

[PCIntern]

46. My point is that they're always

Far from dead and buried

[Wednesdays]

49. Indeed, they were writing the GOP's obituary in 1976

following Watergate and Ford's defeat to Jimmy Carter. Lo and behold, four short years later...

[RhodeIslandOne]

26. It only took four years for the people to return the GOP to some power.....

.....after Bush's bullshit during his first 6 years.

[panader0]

17. My pacifist beliefs are being tested...........

I'm 67, kids are grown and gone, I'm getting very angry. I have sought to eliminate anger
for many years. But I'm feeling it now.

[kimbutgar]

20. I just talked to a friend who is always working and had no idea this was happening

As this story spreads people will be getting angrier. It just hasn’t penetrated the masses yet. But slowly it is gaining traction.

[bdamomma]

30. I think it's gaining traction too

especially about the kids being taken away from their parents, it's being reported regularly now. But then again, there are many who don't know what is happening. Don is like a trapped rat, his friends are slowly being corralled I want to see some justice done, Flynn, Manafort, Cohen, then will filter into the trump Crime Family.

[ooky]

45. Trump thinks he can lie his way out of responsibility for this atrocity

but the backlash is building fast. Word is spreading among many more Americans who don't normally pay attention to politics - now that pictures of 2 year olds crying are getting into the evening news. A lot of Americans don't have the stomach for those images.

[bdamomma]

56. we are dealing with

those SOB's such as Bannon, Miller, Sessions and Kelly and of course Trump, who really don't care about humanity. They have no love for a diverse people, don't they know we are all immigrants??? I mean the true natives of America are the Indians and the white man screwed them too, still are.

[trof]

23. "People...in other countries" are much more tuned in than the majority of Americans.

They pay attention to what goes on in their parliaments.
Many have proportional representation.

I have 'acquaintances' (not 'friends') who don't know who their state representative is.
In the last election, just a week ago, the only name one recognized on the ballot was the incumbent governor.

The repugs have played our dumbed down citizens perfectly.

[bdamomma]

32. We,

Americans have been being dumbed down for such a long time, it's their way of controlling, can you imagine if we were all on equal footing?? this country would be phenomenal.

The rich/greedy bastards want and believe they are superior to all of us and they want everything to themselves. Carlin was right, it's a big club, and they will take it all.

Unless we rise up, there I said it. People aren't going to take this crap anymore.

We have a POS who is totally in his own delusional world and he doesn't give a shit except for only this $$$$$. I hope lies consume him.

[VOX]

24. It's bigger than politics now. It's a culture war.

45’s faithful don’t give a single shit about anything that might hurt them, as long as their fascist administration is “sticking it to libtards.” They are that short-sighted. They are that shallow. They are that cruel.

Look at the impoverished Red States— They’re falling apart (and behind), but as long as god ‘n guns are invoked, they’ll keep electing racist/dominionist/whacko state and federal gov’t pols who throw enough red meat at them.

The U.S. cannot be led by these far-right culture warriors. It’s failing miserably, and governing by chaos. They are whining dead weight in the best of times, and absolutely insane in the worst of times (now).

[Puppyjive]

27. Baby Trafficking

The Republican Party is nothing but baby traffickers. They make me sick.

[bdamomma]

33. What and where

are the girls and babies???? WTF. Scary shit is happening. You don't break up families like this, Sessions mentioning the bible?????? WTF.

[Chemisse]

52. I keep wondering that too. We've seen the teen-aged boys.

I want to see how the babies and toddlers are being cared for; I want to know if the young girls are safe from molestation.

But mostly I just want them all back with their families.

[debsy]

36. We all need to get out in the streets NOW. We are to blame.

The Poor People's Campaign is a just cause but the effort has to be about getting these sociopaths out of positions of power. They are a grave danger to us all.

[jimlup]

39. Yes!

This - bring attention to the situation. Force people to see it even if they are busy not bothering to notice.

[jimlup]

38. The problem is that not enough people actually pay attention

I guess Nazi Germany must have been something like this. Admittedly worse but still the same thing. People were busy going about their own lives and not paying attention to what their government was actually doing.

[bdamomma]

42. Exactly this is what

Last edited Sat Jun 16, 2018, 11:36 AM - Edit history (1)

happened in Germany, what is happening now in the country is horrible. tRump is to be held responsible for these horrible atrocities. Rounding up children from their parents??? WTF? Kissing up to dictators??? and treating our allies like crap??

He is a rude POS, lies all the time. And that red tie...……...

stats are, 1,995 kids taken away = 40 kids being taken away weekly, from 1,940 adults.

That is horrible, we are breeding these kids for mental health problems, and the extreme of possibly terrorism.

[jimlup]

44. And let's not forget that while the history of Nazi Germany is in the books

the history of the Trump monster still has to play out. And considering the situation it could honestly be far worse. The guy has control over far more horrible weapons than the Nazi's ever did ... it could end very very badly for all of us.

It is a duty of our humanity that we denounce the Trump regime at every opportunity.

[Hekate]

47. What you said

The entire Trump Pence cabal is eating our government like a cancer. They are godless soulless evil bastards.

[salster]

50. Same thing we did last time...

Fight amongst ourselves.

[Initech]

57. I'm tired of that shit!

They need to be kicked in the ass hard for this one! We need to make the GOP a vile and toxic brand that should have no place in a modern society.

[Cha]

53. KICK!!!!!

[cooldude]

60. I'm more humane than that POS Trump

I am not going to separate his children from him when the POS goes to jail. Since I'm a cool dude, I'm more than willing to put them all in the same jail cell.

[PCIntern]

61. Well done!!! nt

[GusBob]

63. Thom Hartmann opened his show today with this post

He then went on to violate Godwin's Law. lol

[yardwork]

64. Kick

[blake2012]

65. Bus fares affect people personally. Immigrant children? Most people don't feel the pain enough to ri

[DownriverDem]

66. trump's cult base wins

They love it. There was a woman immigrant interviewed and she was asked what would you have done if you knew the kids were going to be taken away? She said she wouldn't have come to the border. That is exactly what trump's cult base wants to hear. Look for it to be a sound bite in a repub ad.
