    I'm just thinking about all the death and destruction we caused during the War on Terror or during the War on Drugs. I think those have been FAAAAAAR more disgusting to me.

    Show me where a single parent is sent to jail for a crime, without due process, and their child is sent to a concentration camp.

    I'll wait.

    Anyone blaming Democrats for trump's policy needs to argue with trump's DOJ...

    We can agree to disagree on where this ranks in the moral transgression hierarchy of America in the past 50+ years, but I'm just going to guess this is the brain child of douche bag Sessions. That guy sucks. I don't think this policy will last beyond 2018.

    edit...just saw that intercept link...yeah 100% sessions.

    It's not a competition. We can be shitty in myriad ways.

    Show me a case where that is happening with illegal aliens. These detention centers are hardly concentration camps and it’s ignorant for you to even use that term. And without due process? They are being charged, prosecuted, represented, and given legal rights which, technically, they aren’t even deserving of, as non-US citizens here illegally. How is that’s not due process?

    And by the way, if a US citizen is arrested for a crime and there is no family that can take the child, the child gets sent to foster care. Exact same principle at play here.

    Yeah it’s a shitty policy and we have lots of shitty policies but I’d tend to rank death on a mass scale over temporary imprisonment as a shittier outcome. Do you think I’m wrong for wanting a little bit of perspective here? Maybe this is how we have to act in the new social media world where you have say everything is the worst or the best thing ever.

    Yes, Sessions has obsessed over this kind of stuff. I can't imagine what kind of twisted mind, and soul he must have to think this is a good thing and fulfilling any good god's will.

    You can think of it as an unfilled area chart, if that helps.

    Other than your elementary criticism, did you not see the bigger picture in the data?

    Yep. I fully expect entities that produce information disseminated to wherever to do a simple proofread first. It's not that difficult.

    Oops, I misspelled a single word. That to you negates anything and everything in the data?

    When people start using buzzwords like "Invasion" you have to expect the worse.

    He clearly thinks this is a kindness. It's amazing the lack of empathy some people have, he actually blamed the kids...really that's all that needs to be said there.

    He campaigned on getting MEXICO to pay for his wall. He's basically taking hostage these poor kids to get his way. That would be like Bernie Sanders kidnapping Dennison's favorite child to get Dennison to sign off on Daca
    And we all know who his favorite tremendous kid is. It isn't Jr, not Eric, nor Barron nor Tiffany, though she has nice hips.
    The Mural "quote" in the facility makes sense when you read it again in context to the wall. They're also separating siblings from each other. it's more "vulgar" and "Vile" than than some comedian chick that's for sure.

    Like you said folks can disagree with what's worse. But this is something done to children who've committed no crime, and who don't understand why they've done nothing but this nation that they hoped would mean a new life has imprisoned them and taken them away from their children. When 5-year-old kids are snatched from their parents and locked up, it's horrible. When they tell parents they are taking the kids away to bathe them and the kids don't come back, that's evil.

    And it isn't in the name fighting against a greater evil. It's something that Sessions just decided was a good thing to do, and started doing it.

    there is a special place in hell for child abusers like Jeff Sessions, as well as the child abuser-in-chief in the WH

    I didn't even realize you made that awesome chart. But..yeah... If I was going to create something to graphically describe an issue, I'd make darn sure it was accurate in all aspects. If one can't perform a simple spell check, how can I trust anything they create?
