Last night the CBS affiliate (KKTV), here in Colorado Springs, reported heavily and accurately about the first stop that Pence made to the ‘camps’. The one where all of the detainee’s needs are met and unicorns are entertaining the babies. Not even a hint that he made a second stop to a camp that matched everything that had been reported about the horrific conditions. No news IS fake news.
I only listened to her “…drink out of the toilet” clip once, but I believe she also said the same detainees had “…no running water”. She needs to learn plumbing 101 before being glib – if there’s no running water, the toilet cannot fill.
MCALLEN, Tex. — When Vice President Pence visited a migrant detention center here Friday, he saw nearly 400 men crammed behind caged fences with not enough room for them all to lie down on the concrete ground. There were no mats or pillows for those who found the space to rest. A stench from body odor hung stale in the air.
When reporters toured the facility before Pence, the men screamed that they’d been held there 40 days, some longer. They said they were hungry and wanted to brush their teeth. It was sweltering hot, but the only water was outside the fences and they needed to ask permission from the Border Patrol agents to drink.
Pence appeared to scrunch his nose when entering the facility, stayed for a moment and left.
AOC looked positively stunning in Her bright white Pants Suit here on the Red Carpet oh wait never mind go home to the Hellhole You represent and look for substandard Housing …no Cameras for that . Stay in Your Lane
(sighs) In homes, most toilets have tanks of completely clean water that may be drunk from without any contact with the bowl below. That may or may not apply to the toilets mentioned by the folks who were denied other sources of water, but you drew the kind with a tank! Kindly imagine that those kids are brighter than you are, and would drink from it rather than the bowl.
And, Mr. Bok: I suppose you think it’s funny that anybody cares about plastic straws. I encourage you to withdraw your right-wing blinders a smidge and look up “sea life killed by plastic” online. There’s a particularly excruciating story about a sea-turtle who had a straw embedded in its nostril. It was saved, by the way.
As to the wacky idea that she can be outraged by a plastic straw when there’s a kid who is (not, according to what you hear) using it to drink toilet water: It is not just feasible but normal for people to have more than one concern. Just like you, who I know must be concerned about the “scary illegal alien invaders from the south” and “the problem of women being allowed to have body autonomy” and “the lying media trying to convince us that The Donald is less than stellar” and …

Hilarious. Let’s trivialize child abuse by joking about a worn-out conservative talking point.

I love that Bok is outraged at AOC outrage over inhuman conditions in America “concentration-lite” camps. (they aren’t killing them yet.)

Chip, your next cartoon should be you and a group of other Trump Disciples dancing in celebration of another of those children dying.
Strengthening the deterrent, you know.
.
And the cartoon after that, you and other Trump Disciples can be laughing when a four month old is taken away from its parents.
Be sure to capture how wretched the mother looks, knowing she will probably never see her baby again.

‘Cause, you ’conservatives’ have such a well developed sense of humor.

AOC’s steam roller approach does not work. She sorely needs to learn how to cultivate a strong base.

This cartoon manages to trivialize two very important issues at the same time.

I guess its all right to Bok that Republicans have stolen children in concentration camps drinking out of toilets.

One trait that Alexandria and Donald have in common is the inability to leave any unspoken thought unspoken.

That was really disgusting the way the right wing bigots went to scream and yell at the senators visiting the Republican concentration camp.
I have never seen such a thing in my life.
