This is Government-Sanctioned Murder of Sick Kids! Where is the Outrage?

[dlk]

The Trump administration has arbitrarily terminated the medical visa program without announcement and without an appeals process in place. No doubt, they planned to fly under the radar with this crime.

Parents and patients have been receiving 31-day notice letters from our government to leave the country or be deported. Forcing patients to terminate life-saving treatment is murder; and it’s being done in all our names.

Why isn’t this at the top of the national news cycle?

1. Same guy who cut off medical treatment for his nephew's sick baby

His sadistic cruelty has been normalized by the media

2. Because trump's regime of cruelty and terror has been normalized.

The revelation of the separated families and caged kids marked the final turning point for this country. A year later and it's still happening.

The US, under trump, is now a verified shithole nation that regularly commits atrocities. To anyone who disagrees: Prove that it's not.

3. It's not normalized.

The outrage is there. Corporate media has gotten their marching orders not to dwell on these matters but the outrage is there.

4. It's hit the major media.

Boston Globe: https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/08/29/deportation-from-united-states-with-this-type-medical-condition-death-sentence-representative-ayanna-pressley-said/I2Fm6F5b85EKKdLMaLMi3M/story.html

NBC: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/new-low-trump-immigration-policy-seeks-deport-sick-dying-children-n1047901

I expect it will spread and the outrage will grow.

5. We Can't Afford to be Complacent or Overwhelmed

I’m contracting media outlets to report on this. We all need to. This can’t be allowed to go unchallenged. My middle son survived chronic, serious medical problems against the odds, in part, due to my ongoing and endless intervention and advocacy. I understand all too well how devastating this can be for a family. We have to do something. I’m making phone calls this morning. I hope others will too

6. Premeditated murder. We cannot let this outrage numb us like dozens ...

of other outrages from this evil man and his administration.

[Paladin]

7. If we meekly put up with shit like this, we deserve what's happening.

If nothing else, expend 5 minutes of your time today, and call up your U.S. Representative and/or Senators to express your outrage in no uncertain terms. Follow up the phone calls with emails. That's what I'm doing. Do NOT allow yourself to become numb to the vast amount of evil that is being perpetrated on our nation, every single day.

8. Trump is hardening our feelings. Separate and kidnap the kids crossing the border.

Deny the right of citizenship to children born outside of USA to American military and diplomatic service.

They are getting ready to remove citizenship and expel large quantities of non-white Americans.

He is trying to make us into what he is.

[dchill]

15. He is not trying to make us into what he is.

He assumes we already are like him, but we're lying about it to steal his glory. Because we're jealous.

[procon]

9. We're under a constant bombardment of Trump's

Russian plot to destroy America from the inside. Day after day we get news alerts of his latest sick cruelties, his lies his insane boasts and threats against the least of us to the mightiest leaders of the free world.

I tell you, the whole country is shell shocked. We are all suffering from PTSD. There's no escape, no end in sight and he's getting worse by the hour. We're overwhelmed.

Folks don't have time to process the latest Trump atrocity before he hits us with the next shocker. It's not that we normalizing his bizarre actions, our brains simply don't have enough time to process Trump's string of horrors. Before we can muster a reaction he's already dropped another bomb in our laps so there's no timé for recovery or outrage.

11. K&R, But her emails and gaffes dammit !!!

12. Promises made, promises kept?

We will deport the "Bad Hombres!"

I wish someone would deport the Naranja Hombre!

13. Michael McCleary signed the letter condemning children to death

Who the hell is this murderer? Is he the only person to sign these death sentences for children and others affected by his order?

(I know the actual order didn't originate with this scum bag -- but he iss der von following der orders, yah? I'd also like to know who in the turd-filled White House initiated the order in the first place? Was it Miller or some low level racist dickhead?)

Dammit! Everyone connected in any way with this policy of extermination -- and that's what it is -- needs to be held accountable, if not by the goddam Fascist administration, then by the public. These "Field Directors" of DHS need to be outed and publicly interviewed by the media.

And don't even think about exculpating McCleary because he didn't necessarily like the policy. The son of a bitches who stoked the ovens, who hooked up the gas jets in the Nazi death camps were just as freaking guilty of genocide as the maniacal moron they so slavishly worshipped. The bastards who helped herd the condemned jews and Poles onto the death trains were just as freaking guilty, too. You sign the goddam letter, then god damn you!

Sorry for the rant. I'm pissed beyond sober words and am thinking very dark thoughts at the moment.

16. Every new outrage, this same post.

It's being covered, just not to your liking. There's a firehose of outrage shooting us in the face 24/7.

Pretty effective technique the Russians came up with, you must admit.

[dlk]

17. It's Not Being Covered Sufficiently in Relation to the Magnitude of the Crime

And it has nothing whatsoever to do with me. You are right, however, the Russians have done quite a job creating chaos and division in the US.
