Children in Cages = American Exceptionalism.

Sounds like a “camp” where people are kept together – “concentrated,” you might say. I wonder if there’s a name for a place like that?

As usual, THIS story, which is far more important than the screeching moron, is barely getting attention. A U.S. denied access to a detention center run by the government. Meh.

They won’t allow a U.S. Senator to see what they are doing to children. Let that sink in. No oversight allowed.

We should all be sickened by what is being done to these kids - in our name.

@carolson I couldn’t agree more.

Why the hell doesn’t the press just stop running his goddamn antics. Or, at the very least, put them at the bottom of the page. It’s beyond absurd. They’re all playing right into his hands and then we’ll have lots of chest beating about it. It’s 10 AM on Monday, for Chrissakes.

Appalling. If children were living in such conditions in a home, they would be removed by child protection services.

Of course, how else do you think you treat brown “animals”… according to some at least.

There is also reporting on the number of immigrants being detained at Tijuana and who are being warehoused there and it’s becoming a humanitarian crisis. Can’t get into the US, too afraid to go back to Mexico and elsewhere. It’s like a nightmarish version of Hotel California, they can check in but they can never leave.

In less than two years, DJT and admin. have made the U.S. a global embarrassment and a model for no one.

Yeah, they’re so terrified of oversight regarding how they’re treating children ripped from their parents arms for no reason other than to terrorize potential illegal immigrants with the threat of gratuitous cruelty that they actually called the cops on a U.S. senator. Let that sink in.

Bingo, American exceptionalism not and for sure that which I never risked my life back in the 60s for.

Wouldn’t it be nice if a whistleblower from one of these companies happened to post a few pics online?

What a disgrace for our people. The face we are being given by the goons in the White House.
