I'm quite certain that there are horrors at the border...

that we know nothing about.

Everything with this administration is smoke and mirrors.

I am of the belief that deaths are not being reported, and bodies are being disposed of. I put nothing past these people.

I am experiencing waves of terror and rage...the likes of which make me feel like a different person.

My wish is that I was a smarter man, so I would know how to stop this. Because my tears of rage will not do jack shit.

If a zoo treated its animals that badly there would be a huge outcry and the zoo would be shut down.

These are zoo animals:



Some people disapprove of zoos and believe all animals should live in the wild, but at least in this zoo this tiger has plenty of room to roam, play and sleep, all the food she needs without having to hunt or go hungry, a pond to swim in and fresh air, and she has her babies with her. That's a hell of an improvement over the conditions those poor souls at the border are having to live in.

The Trump regime is abusing these people to deter other immigrants. But immigration violations are misdemeanors. To deter people from committing other misdemeanors - like speeding, for example - should anyone who's busted for speeding be thrown in a crowded cage with other speeders and their children taken away from them and caged elsewhere so people will stop speeding down Elm Street?

This is so fucked. And you're right; who knows what else is going on that's even worse than what we know about?
