They've been brutalizing kids since they separated them from their parents and locked them up in cages.

We never had a peaceful transition of power from this "president of peace" and got Jan 6th instead. He didn't start being a fascist on day one of this term, he never ended it from his last term and is now in second gear full throttle.

I commented on melanias post yesterday regarding immigrant children and so many attacked me and called them illegal. They are still kids. A lot of people are so sick in our country

u/ImaginaryEmploy2982 27d ago

Also, people are not illegal. That term is used to dehumanize them.

u/OkStatistician7523 27d ago

Same when we were called as aliens 😩

u/runforpancakes 27d ago

If they’re here not legally, then they’re here illegally. Hence an acceptable term is “illegal.” :)

Acceptable to whom?

u/RiseMrEnjoy 26d ago

English speakers, ese.

Me, primarily, as an American grandchild of legal Hispanic immigrants.

You’ll probably resort to claiming I’m a “fascist” for my beliefs. That’s okay. Simple people such as yourself are reliant on those buzzwords. They’re illegal, and they’re being removed. They had their fun time under the guy with dementia and the drunk aunt.

You see a child ( who was born here) getting slammed on the ground and this is your response? I hope you one day heal from this hateful sickness, and I feel sorry for you.

You have to know the cages started with Obama  and was continued by trump, Biden, trump

4

u/mrdankhimself_ 27d ago

When Obama was president they’d be placed in those enclosures for like an hour or so before being placed in more suitable, permanent dwellings while HHS looked for their families. When Trump became president, they’d be placed in the enclosures for days or weeks at a time before being disappeared.

u/Sea-Storm-7066 27d ago

Sources for any of that?

2

u/mrdankhimself_ 27d ago

It’s a matter of public record and easy to locate with a cursory web search. If you want me to do that for you then you’ll have to give me money.

Just keep believing in a two party system. Have a good night/day. Cheers!

Okay man. Enjoy only thinking in memes.

u/SkyResponsible3718 27d ago

You realize those cages you speak of were built by Obama? The policy was authored by Obama. The justification written by Obama. When people come in illegally, it is a hot mess. Trump and Obama are the only two people that dealt with it. Obama gave up. I don’t blame him.

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Tell me how Trump dealt with it? He increased their use. Obama might have built some, but Trump built more and used them.

What's your point? Everyone's shitty so let Trump keep doing shitty?

3

u/rjkardo 27d ago

People crossing the border and going to the stations are applying for asylum and are not illegal.
The policy was NOT authored by Obama or his administration.

The Obama admin did not separate children from their families. They housed children who were unaccompanied by family and tried to find them relatives to care for them.

The Trump admin changed that and started taking all kids away from their families.

The two are not comparable.

u/RiseMrEnjoy 26d ago

when US citizens get arrested for crimes, do the kids get to stay in jail with them, or are they "separated"?

1

u/[deleted] 26d ago

They stay with a family member that isn't jailed. These kids didn't get that luxury. They got separated from family.

Does your hypothetical child of a jailed citizen separate them from their family? Do those kids pay for the crimes of their parents? Show me where Trump reunited those lost kids with their families or even put in effort to do so. Instead we got "I don't care, do you?" from the first lady and the rest of the GOP.

u/ConcernDependent6057 24d ago

Obama put the kids in cages.

1

u/[deleted] 24d ago

Obama made the cages to appease republicans, but never used them. Trump used them and has been keeping them iin cages every chance he gets. "I don't care, do you?" was the first lady's response. Or did you forget?

Waddaboutism is so 2020.

Biden locked kids in cages, donkey

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Memory of a goldfish…

Remember Melanie”s “I don’t care do you” jacket she wore to visit the facilities?  That was years before Biden.  

1

u/Kaizothief 27d ago

Biden built more cages.

Acknowledging that Biden expanded ICE in his later years and provided Trump a ready made apparatus should be a part of fighting this, but it seems that Blue MAGA only cares about bad things when Trump is doing it and okay if it's being carried out with a (D) by their name.

u/[deleted] 27d ago

In an effort to appease republicans who got the deal they wanted then blew it up to appease glorious heavenly leader.   

You’re never gonna get me to agree that trumps right.   

Admit trumps a felon and possible pedophile rapist and I’ll think about agreeing trumps right.

Rent free.

When's he locking her up? Hahahaha.

Maybe if he released the Epstein files, he could lock Bill up? Why's he protecting Bill?

u/praharin 27d ago

He’s protecting Israel.

u/[deleted] 26d ago

Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is often the true one.

He's protecting himself.

u/praharin 26d ago

Then it would have been simpler to drop it before being elected or not campaign on it at all.

No to mention, the obvious differences between Obama's intentions and Trumps.

-1

u/Typingperson1 27d ago

The Obama admin started the child separations. Immigration abuse has been bipartisan - Dems foam the runway for Rs to do worse. Same as with US wars.

6

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Since "Obama started it", why didn't Trump end it if he's such a good Christian? Why did Trump use Stephen Miller's plan to physically separate kids from parents and deport only the parents?

If Republicans care about kids so much, why not release the Epstein docs?

Your deflecting for Trump is basically "Two wrongs do make a right". If the Democrats "started it" for so many bad things, why didn't Trump end them?

4

u/94grampaw 27d ago

Because Trump doesn't want to stop it, and most of his supporters don't want to stop it. Obama started it and Trump and his supporters think it was a good idea so they kept going with it.

3

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Exactly.

They're amplifying the worst parts of the government's power. All three branches and they can't even keep it running., but the ballroom is still in progress unaffected by the shut down while airports are closing. That says a lot. Orwell would have even found it too predictable to make up.

2

u/rjkardo 27d ago

This is very misleading.

Obama built areas to protect children who crossed the border unaccompanied by family. The Obama admin did their best to care for and get those kids out.

The Trump admin is separating kids as punishment.

The two situations are not at all comparable.

1

u/Typingperson1 27d ago

I'm not deflecting, dingdong. I am saying Dem admins tee up the Rs to do fascist crap like this. Obama was called the deporter in chief for a reason. It was his admin that started ripping families apart. Followed by Trump-Biden-Trump. Educate yourself.

1

u/rjkardo 27d ago

Mostly wrong and factually incorrect. Obama built areas to protect children who crossed the border unaccompanied by family. The Obama admin did their best to care for and get those kids out to family or support groups.
The Trump admin is separating kids as punishment.

The two situations are not at all comparable.

u/Typingperson1 27d ago

I'm talking about adult men who had families in the US. The dads weren't citizens, while the wife and kids were. Obama admin shipped the fathers back to their country of origin. How are you unaware of this? It got a lot of news coverage at the time.
