Oh, I'm Sorry, MAGAflakes, Did "Concentration Camps" Bother You?

[Soph0571]

Well, you’d better pull on your big boy hoods, because there’s another word you’ll be crying about soon.

The conditions described by doctors, lawyers and others who have witnessed first-hand the camps holding detained asylum seekers—sleeping on bare concrete, deprivation of food, sleep, hygienic conditions—are techniques of torture and, whatever the opinions of a Cheney or a Yoo, are against United States law and treaties of which the US is signatory .

So, I’m sorry you got so upset when it was pointed out, correctly, that the US is now running concentration camps, but, as it becomes clear what is going on in those camps, every supporter of the current administration must be made to answer:

Why do you support torturing children?
Why do you support torturing children?
Stop torturing children.

Child Torture is not a good look....

[Initech]

1. They're triggered snowflakes.

[underpants]

2. Nothing wrong with going Coach/Drill Sargent on them now

It won't change their cult minds but someone near might here it.

[anarch]

4. fuck them; I'm not pulling punches anymore

I'm done being "polite;" these fuckers need to know what the civilized world thinks of them.

[snowybirdie]

3. FB Frienemies

All say it's Nancy's fault because she didn't give Trump the money!!!!!

[lunatica]

14. If they say that to you

you should respond with derision at their personal gullibility. Just do the equivalent of pointing a finger at them and doubling over with side-splitting laughter.

[treestar]

26. They got that from Benghazi

Does not apply. And they have $730 per prisoner !

[UniteFightBack]

5. If you look up the definition...they are fitting within it so it's not trying to trigger anyone it's

what it is.

[pangaia]

6. To be truthful, the term 'Concentration Camps' bothered a number of folks right here as well.

[lunatica]

16. It makes one wonder if they know history

Being ignorant of how history actually plays out can be fixed.

The Holocaust Museum claims it can happen again, to any group. Or is there something specific that needs to happen to convince some people that a group of people are deliberately being treated in cruel and inhuman ways, though they have broken no law? What does it take to convince? How bad does it have to get?

[pangaia]

18. A few of the comments were from folks here who had some direct connection

to the concentration camps during WW2-- relatives, friends, etc. Some expressed the fact that there is not mass intentional murder happening here...but I would add...not MASS, and YET.

So I can certainly understand their emotional connection, and their "taking offense,' or umbrage, at the current situation being compared to Nazi concentration camps.

Nevertheless, these ARE, by any definition, just that.

[lunatica]

20. "Not yet" happening is right

I haven’t seen any believable exit plan for those children. When will the children be released? Obviously not when their parents claim them because the children have been forcibly taken from said parents in the first place. And the parents, seeking our government’s help are being held also, like criminals.

On the contrary, our government is privatizing the treatment of these children, opening long abandoned internment camps, building “camps” far away in the desert, difficult to access and which are off limits to everyone, run by cruel people whom our government picks. People who apparently have the permission to punish them at will, with no justification. People who think it’s their right to abuse and mistreat children. Children who are lost in the Trump system. Who can't be found.

What does Trump plan for these children’s future? They aren’t keeping track of the family ties, so who are they going to give the children to?

If children are denied the most basic needs which are fundamental to health how long before they start dying of contagious diseases? Especially when their health is in the hands of jailers who deny them fundamental hygiene tools. What is the purpose of rushing disease on these children?

What is Trump’s end game. What does he plan to do?

[pangaia]

22. disease is cheaper than bullets...

[dawg day]

31. In Argentina, the junta gave the children of the "disappeared" to wealthy families and officers

supposedly to be adopted.

One of Trump's guys months ago was intimating they might do something like that here.

[lunatica]

32. Yes, they did

Interestingly enough their grandmothers, the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, were the ones who asked doctors to find their grandchildren through Genetic testing. I saw a documentary many years ago that claimed it had never been done before. This group of grandmothers, who were the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo is still active today.

7. I posted this is another thread.

It seems like I get stuck in the research phase and et viola.

I have been doing some personal research of religious organizations looking for published articles, speeches or other actions from their leadership. Checked Rome, nada word, and down my list I go, looking for any sign any church has done anything for our precious children. If they don't stand to defend the children then they will never stand for anything. imo

[Hekate]

10. Check the Unitarians. Check Tikkun. Google...

Google "religious denominations opposing Trump immigrant prisons"

[saidsimplesimon]

11. My first category was Protest Leadership,

I will include your suggestions, good catch, thank you.

[Duppers]

28. Perhaps a few will, eventually.

Perhaps. But most of them seem to feel Trump is their lord and savior.

Atheist groups, on the other hand, will be quick to condemn this.

[Still In Wisconsin]

8. You're forgetting: they're not children.

No, they should be thought of as future rapists and drug dealers. TRUMP said so.

[Traffic Interruptus]

9. The National Trumpist White Peoples' Party

doesn't even view them as human, let alone children.

[Fla Dem]

12. Child neglect, child abuse, contributing to a child's death.

If any parent had done these things they would be arrested and the children taken away from them. Trump and all those who have a hand in this disgrace and abuse should be arrested. No congressional hearings, just outright arrested by the police forces in whatever local this is happening.

To not do so is a dereliction of duty by those municipalities.

[Nitram]

13. I thought they hated PC. Loved Trump for "telling it like it is." Suck it up, suckers!

[Initech]

15. Yeah remember these guys?

Awwwwwwwwwwwww did we hurt their widdle feelings?

[lunatica]

17. They must have great rage sex!

[uponit7771]

24. +1

[Raster]

19. Here's a few more words that may cause pause with the MAGAt snowflakes...

...CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

[Nitram]

21. Exactly.

[Danascot]

23. I hate to say it but

someone has to get out photos and video of these kids and the conditions they're living in. It's one thing to read about these horrors but it's another thing to see it.

TV coverage helped swing public opinion to end the Viet Nam war by bringing it into people's living rooms. Photos and video would help end this outrage.

[Scarsdale]

25. The gop representatives

for these areas need to answer some questions. Why is it costing $700 a day per child for this sub par treatment? Who is in charge of these facilities, and being paid? How do they intend to reunite these kids with parents, and how soon?

[redstatebluegirl]

27. Former Chief of Staff Kelly is involved in this, I forget how but he is.

[2naSalit]

30. I am certain

that they are intended to be trafficked into some kind of horrid slavery where they aren't meant to survive their childhood. I am certain that there are many in this regime who are involved in the global network. perhaps Epstein would reveal that if he were convicted.

[Ferrets are Cool]

29. No, what really bothers them is hearing from a WOMAN with a backbone.

That is what they hate. (as well as 1000 other things that might help anyone other than themselves.)
