Tom Toles for February 12, 2019

Sure, lock the federal employees’ children in cages. It worked so well for LEGAL asylum seekers.

And of course, then there is Betsy DeVos (from the crime family of DeVos, Erik Prince [Blackwater war criminal] and the heirs to the Amway [SCAMway] barely legal multi-level marketing [pyramid with a sham nominal product] scheme), who owns the “Bethany Christian Ministries.”

Bethany Christian Ministries is an adoption agency.

Bethany Christian Ministries is being paid $700 – $750 PER DAY, PER CHILD to provide “housing” (cages) for kidnapped babies ripped from the arms of mothers LEGALLY APPLYING FOR ASYLUM. (For that price, the children should be provided luxury hotel accommodations.)

Then the Trump government, after kidnapping these LEGAL ASYLUM APPLICANTS and paying DeVos to put them in cages, ADMITS THEY KEPT NO RECORDS, so now they can no longer reunite the families.

So DeVos’ “adoption agency” puts them up for adoption and, after however long it takes to adopt them out (while receiving $700 – $750 PER DAY, PER CHILD, again collects fees from a family who wants to adopt someone else’s kid.

Turns out the child trafficking crime ring was NOT Hillary in a DC pizza shop.

If things work well, it might be his kids in the cages, along with his hand-picked staff

Trump thinks all Federal workers are Democrats, so sure break up families….

No, you can’t just lock the children of government workers in cages. You have to also send the kids somewhere where they’d be so hard to find that there would be a real possibility that the parents would never find their kids again, even after we release them. That’ll show ’em! (…what life is like for refugees trying to take asylum in our country.)

Please, Tom, don’t give him any ideas.

Would HIS children be included? Asking for a friend.

Republicans ‘govern’ by their hatreds.

Honestly, it really wouldn’t be surprising if we found out this came up in a brainstorming session. And only slightly shocking.

I worry about living in a constitutional democratic republic that is being demolished from inside by amoral anti-Americans who hide behind a facade of patriotism and a weird “exclusive” supremacist version of “Christianity” but have no understanding of family values, kindness or compassion and willfully - “I was just following orders” - separate families in such a cruel dehumanizing way with no means to reunite them. If we at war with a Mexico that was an aggressor and Isis had a submarine fleet, I could see some initiative to protect our borders with the military, but this is not the case. We have internal problems with our education system that allows fear of diversity and fear of losing a source of cheap labor and a source of illegal drugs that allows a fear-mongering political tribe to perpetuate a belief that refugees from South and Central American violence are the perpetrators of these criminal acts. The symbolic wall of people at the border with their fear of meritocracy taint the American flags they hide behind and display the values that are no part of America’s traditional values. America is in crisis and the enemy is now within our borders and a wall will do no good to deter them. We need to put an end to this unAmerican infestation before it is too late. Canada’s acceptance of Syrian refugees shows the kind of decency that America was once known for and dedicated to. We need to put our Constitution back into a functioning mode.

Adult Children, Too?

fusilier, who is concerned about a certain young teen with fairly clear developmental issues

James 2:24

SOMEONE put this fat bastard in a cage, preferably in Leavenworth, A.S.A.P.!!!

Just curious.. what will happen.. eventually to the children that have lost their parents due to incompetency from the trump team. Citizenship.. or perpetual “aliens”?

Well, well, look who’s back! Must be reward day at the State Mental Hospital, the day the inmates get internet access.

Tiny, the Air Traffic Controllers and the TSA employees will walk within 24 hours of the start of this shutdown. You will get nothing positive out of this.

So far, Trump has forgotten to announce that IF there’s another shutdown, he will take all the blame for it, and would never, no, never, blame the Democrats. What, never? No, never. What, never? ALL THE TIME!

“Hence the demagogue — hence the faction — hence the mob — hence the violence, licentiousness, and instability — hence the ambitious struggles of parties and their leaders for power — hence the abuses of that power by majorities and their leaders — hence the indirect oppressions of the general by partial interests — hence (fearful symptom) the demoralization of the great men of the nation, and of the nation itself, proceeding, unless checked in time by the more healthy and patriotic portion of the mind of the nation rallying itself to reform the principles and sources of the evil. . . .” – Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disopbedience (1849).

Can’t we just put him in a cage?

Well, I got a great idea, let’s put all the trump kids into cages. And then lose track of them.
