Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThere really is so much going on that it is difficult to keep up but
those subpoenas related to the kidnapping of children from Central America, the separation from their parents and reports of rape and other abuse are among the most important investigations going on.
That alone is reason for impeachment.
Lots of folks should head to prison for this one - this should reach the International Court of Justice.
That November election blue tsunami was very important -go Dems!!

I no longer believe in our legal system. I do believe we stand a chance of voting the shitstain out, but the way our elections are rigged will make it difficult.

(5,403 posts)Not holding nixon and bush II/cheney accountable for their crimes is in part what has led to this moment. They all believe they can get away with it, because they always have. We need to make sure this stops here and now, or it will never end.

(51,642 posts)I have to hand it to the Dem reps at the testimony today, they were tough and didn't let the men and women "kidnappers" get away with their typical BS. One woman (border patrol or ICE agent) referred to the people at the border as "illegal aliens" and she was corrected with "undocumented immigrants". The woman tried to justify her choice of words by saying that what she said is the "legal term" and "what they are called by the govt".

Normalcy bias along with outrage fatigue and just the avalanche of daily shocking shit we hear about is the world we live in today. I hate Republicans and I hate Fox for ruining our country.

(14,595 posts)And not just the underlings either, no. We need to go after each and every one in the Trump administration, including Trump himself, and bring them to trial.
But, hey, are we going to do this trial before or after the trials for treason, obstruction of justice, racketeering, election fraud, breach of the emoluments clause or what? I mean, there are so many choices, one can hardly know where to begin...

Amen! As a former Migrant Teacher I want Justice for these children and their families. Kidnapping is a federal crime last time I checked.

(11,885 posts)Its totally unacceptable what they've done to these kids, and is child abuse, and with criminal intent and eventually I think this will come back to haunt all of those involved in this. Also the possibility of many lawsuits against those involved will prove to be another one of their failures after they get civil lawsuits against them going. and have to pay financially for what they done to them, and where it hurts them the most. Promoting child abuse by doing this will come back against them, and it will be one of many disasters they've caused intentionally. Child abuse and abusers has no place in OUR government. 2020 !
