The Trump crime that can never be healed

[Cyrano]

Of the countless cruelties that Trump has overseen during his reign of horror, the worst is the separation of parents and children at the Mexican border.

This is a stain on America that will never heal.

This is an act of pure cruelty and evil.

This is a crime against humanity.

Over the coming decades, the damage to our country done by Trump and his wrecking crew will eventually be repaired.

But the separation of families? Let's face it. There are some children, (no one knows how many), who may never again find their parents, guardians, or loved ones.

Of all of Trump's horrors, this is the one that can never be cleansed, washed away, or forgiven.

Once a decent administration is in office, no expense should be spared to try to reunite every last family that was victimized and mentally tortured by Trump and his thugs.

1. I wouldn't be surprised if there's any restitution paid out after all of the families are reunited.

It obviously won't happen with this crew.

[alwaysinasnit]

2. As bad as this is, to me it is even more horrible to know that so many "Americans" are ok with it.

3. MAGA people drank the Kool-Aid

And there is no limit to what they would go along with.

We always wondered how the Germans went along with the horrors of the Third Reich.

Now we know.

4. It Is the Single Worst Crime They Have Committed

so far.

Who knows what fresh horrors they have planned for us and the world?

5. They may not be there much longer

Looks like the walls are closing in on them.

The orange creature will probably have to be dragged from the White House kicking and screaming.

10. The wheels of justice grind slowly.

It will take a while longer.

6. As terrible a crime as the taking children is, the attacks on the foundation of our democracy may

be even longer-lasting and more devastating in their effects.

7. As those families are reunited, full citizenship is in order

That is the least we can do for these people. Perhaps build a neighborhood over the top of Donny's golf course for them.

9. that would be the best payment.

The refugees need a safe place to live above all else someone could do for them.

11. +10000

8. That and Puerto Rico...

And Flint

12. I will not dispute the OP

But, IMHO, the worst crime against humanity...

is that Trump ACTUALLY EXISTS.

13. The US Federal Government kidnapped and brainwashed young children

something a child molester would do or a fascist country that will pay dearly for its deeds.

14. Damage to the environment

That, and the rollback and unenforcement of environmental laws, and lack of leadership on climate change. Impact of this is difficult to estimate, but it certainly will result in the early deaths of thousands of people and millions of animals.

15. There are horrible choices a POTUS has to make

things along the lines of "do I order the death of 10 if it is the only way a 1000 will survive" and those decisions will haunt a decent person to their deaths.

What this pitiful excuse of an entity has done is JUST PLAIN EVIL with no necessity whatsoever. Naturally he won't lose a moments sleep over his decision.

16. The administration already admits there are children and parents

they are not able to re-unite. Since they never intended to, they never had records or policies or procedures in place for accomplishing that.

What bothers me most about this-- beyond the horrifying fact of it, of course -- is that they talk about it as if they're discussing missing MREs or something. Of course, we KNOW that these people, including the children, aren't fully human to them, else they couldn't have done this to them to start with. But it's startling and very, very disconcerting to me to see how that fact works out in their discussions.

17. My guess would have been: His existence.

18. They never made a plan, which means that what's happening IS THE PLAN

The kids and babies are being thrown into the hopper of at least three Federal agencies with no paperwork and shuffled along with no paperwork. The few who have been restored to their parents have, in addition to severe emotional trauma, everything from lice to scabies to a broken bone. Now reports of child abuse, molestation, and rape are coming in.
