Was listening to Brian Williams doing a good part of his hour tonight talking about Trump and his having to cave on his loving, caring policy of separating children from their parents.
They kept calling the places where the children "Shelters". I could feel my blood pressure rising to dangerous levels. They are NOT BLOODY GOD DAMNED SHELTERS you bloody PC idiots! They are "Detention Facilities"!!!!!! Don't be damn PC about it! Call them what they are. They are the first step on the road to concentration camps.
First they came for the Immigrants, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Immigrant.
Then they came for the Unions, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a member of a Union.
Then they came for the Muslims, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Muslim.
Then they came for me (the Liberals)and there was no one left to speak for me.

The Flores Settlement won't allow for indefinite detention, so either it will get amended (by a court), overruled by some horrific piece of legislation, or ignored...or the families will be deported without due process (20 days isn't enough time to provide due process)...or the families will be granted asylum.
We can hope for the latter, but Trump and Republicans can't afford to let that happen.

(7,888 posts)Rump simply pulled a media trick, changed the focus to the families, make them all suffer. Nothing has changed...not yet, we must continue to "keep our eyes on the ball". We must do all we can to make sure the election results reflect our outrage.
I am reminded of "The Hunger Games: May the odds be ever in your favor." That game was rigged.
