Ye are the light of the world. A city
that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Matthew 5:14
This never ends well.
Trump smiles.
Damn we need republicans and especially Donald out of power asap!
They say God hates ugly, and this is really ugly. Depraved and indecent. Are you paying attention to what the chosen one is doing, Sarah?
The Untouchables, Robert De Niro, you know the scene.
Maybe you folks remember the old magazine ads that would show some form of suffering and challenge you to either send a few bucks to help or “turn the page.” Rather than just feel powerless I think I’ll call my new Democratic Congresswoman and ask her to see what can be done about this. It’s no great effort. Won’t accomplish much today or tomorrow or the next day. But God damn it I don’t want to turn the page and then tell myself I couldn’t do anything anyway, let it go.
ETA: Went ahead and wrote. And Lord, does it feel good to ask someone you know is on our majority-having side to look into it.
another thing.i read that detainees are forced to work for contractors…some are paid $1.00 /day, and that is held back to pay for the food they are given…only in the USA……
Hopefully, they’re not force feeding them hamberders, the poor souls are suffering enough.
So are you eligible for asylum if you’re tortured in a country not your own?
nearly 30 detainees from India and Cuba have been refusing to eat, and some are now so weak they cannot stand up or talk.
Alas, the shining city on a hill turned out to be mountain of garbage. And a nasal tube for feeding descends below the vocal folds, so once inserted, speech cannot occur. This is what has become of my country under THE WORLD-WIDE ASSHOLE. There is no pretense of humanity now.
This kind of treatment used to be reserved for Guantanamo inmates. It was bad enough then.
This is a new level of depravity beyond anything I can recall from a democratic society.
