1. "Or whatever.."

Might as well be trash, huh John?? Fuck this racist bigot and he's a coward for not coming out and saying what he really thinks "These families aren't worthy of sympathy and deserve to be punished in this fashion."...that's what he really thinks

2. I think response was by design...

Mom's won't want to be separated from their kids. It's a scare tactic to disuade them from making the journey.

Feeds Trump's supporters at the same time. Those hungry little bigots.

3. How nice.

We'll just put the kids in foster care or whatever. They don't need their actual mothers, so no big deal.

4. And to think some people thought Kelly somehow better than the muck he wallows in by choice.

5. Civilized societies don't do barbarous misdeeds like tearing children away from their mothers.

Normal people don't allow innocent children to suffer such heartless cruelty just for political gain.

6. When I think of caring, nurturing words, the first one I think of is "whatever"

[lunamagica]

7. "Whatever" I just can't

[ellie]

8. Fuck this

motherfucker. God, I hate these people.
