My GOD. If kids in cages are not bad enough, let's take medical care away from VERY sick kids.

[Stinky The Clown]

I am listening to the story on Maddow's hour and am on the verge of tears. This is where we find ourselves today.

That FUCKING MAGGOT Stephen Miller is at the bottom of this, I'd bet anything.

Anger is welling up, but concern for those sick kids and their families is stronger in me right now.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Gotta wonder what would happen if the sick kids or the caged kids

looked like these kids:

[dflprincess]

6. Given that 1) Some of the sick kids being threatened are at Boston Children's Hospital

2) it's no secret that there are undocumented Irish in the Boston area (current estimate is 50K nationally, which seems really low)
and
3) The Irish International Immigrant Center in Boston has gotten involved, (though the Irish International Immigrant Center, does advocate for all immigrants, not just the Irish).

some of the sick kids might look a lot like these kids.

I doubt if Trump's teeny tiny brain can grasp that some undocumented people are of European descent.

[Hortensis]

9. Or care. Trump has also just announced that children born overseas

of unmarried parents, one of whom is an American citizen, one not, will no longer have American citizenship. Skin color and national origin are irrelevant. The selection criterion is vulnerability -- that he has the power to hurt them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Somehow I don't think Stephen Miller is targeting Irish kids.

[dflprincess]

13. No I don't think they're targeting Irish either

but I do think the bigots haven't figured out that not all undocumented immigrants are brown. Deporting sick kids may make that apparent.

Through all this I've often wondered why we've never heard Trump complaining about the undocumented Irish - not that I didn't know the answer to that.

[whathehell]

16. Stephen Miller is a fucking monster...

Why is this sick nazi allowed to make policy?

[Mr. Evil]

18. Because he's a sick Nazi. It's a feature, not a bug.

[certainot]

25. miller, like mick mulvaney, are proud dittoheads and have said so - that's

where these dipshits come from and they'd be nowhere if 1500 radio stations weren't blowing in their sails

it's not nazis - the your local rw blowhard station

[onecent]

2. I am listening to Maddow's hour also.. SOMEONE NEEDS

TO authorize some of this stuff........why hasn't someone.

I'm surprised there isn't more stuff on this tonight.....

This is one of the most things I have ever heard of!!!!

[Ilsa]

3. K&R.K The Admin knows exactly what they are doing.

The cruelty is intentional.

[keithbvadu2]

4. Pro-life is a myth.

[calimary]

19. Yep. If they stand by this, their "pro-life" position goes straight down the crapper.

You DON’T get to call yourself “pro-life” if you stand for this.

You just DON’T.

[Mersky]

5. Depraved cruelty. Low of the low.

I can't even begin to understand how multiple people looked at this agenda, and said, yes, we will kick out sick kids.

I'm at a loss as to how to shame/change the minds of the people willing to do this.

The tyranny has to stop. This is not normal.

[dflprincess]

7. The SOB took through is own handicapped grandnephew off the Trump family insurance

just out of spite.

Donald Trump likes to get his way, and he’s not above cutting off a sick infant’s health coverage to make it happen.

The story begins after the death of Trump’s father, Fred Sr., in 1999. As David Cay Johnston explains in his book The Making of Donald Trump, Fred Sr. had written a will after the death of his oldest son, Fred Jr., known as Freddy, in 1981. The will left the majority of Fred Sr.’s wealth to Donald and his surviving siblings. Freddy’s family was largely cut out.

When Fred Sr. died, Freddy’s children sued, claiming that the will “had been ‘procured by fraud and undue influence’ by Donald and the other surviving siblings,” according to Johnston

Johnston writes that medical insurance had consistently been provided to the family through Fred Sr.’s company. This coverage was crucial for Freddy’s grandson (Donald’s grandnephew), who suffered from seizures and later developed cerebral palsy. So crucial, in fact, that a letter sent from a Trump lawyer to the insurer after the patriarch’s death in 1999 said that “all costs” for the sick child’s care should be covered, regardless of caps on the plan or medical necessity, according to Johnston. That didn’t last long.

A week after the lawsuit was filed in court, Freddy’s son (Donald’s nephew) received a letter informing him that the health insurance would be discontinued, meaning his ill son would be left without coverage. Donald openly admitted to the New York Daily News that he and his siblings took this action out of revenge. “Why should we give him medical coverage?” Trump said, adding, “They sued my father, essentially. I’m not thrilled when someone sues my father.”

Trump explained that his late brother’s family didn’t receive much in the will because their father wasn’t fond of Freddy’s ex-wife, the New York Times reported.
Trump told the newspaper that the family members later settled the lawsuit “very amicably.” What became of the care for his sick grandnephew? We’ll never know. The settlement agreement, according to Johnston, is sealed.

8. WHY haven't the clerical and other employees walked and refused

to be part of this?! Have they become so demoralized that their "banal evil" is more just following orders?

[calimary]

20. Yes. Where is the Pope? Why haven't we heard from Pope Francis?

We need his voice speaking out on this, too.

[Hekate]

11. I would lke to know whose name is at the bottom of the letters. Rachel, btw, is scathing.

This is the face of evil.

[bdamomma]

12. I yelled out his name that fucking Stephen Miller

he's behind all of this. His ass needs to be seen, cowardly bastard.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

14. KR NT

[smirkymonkey]

15. *Screaming*

All I feel like I want to do is scream! Every damn day it is a new fresh hell. And I am beginning to feel that there is no end in sight.

[herding cats]

17. Oh, they did it.

Someone needs to pull Stephen Miller's hand out of Trump's ass right the fuck now. Him using the power of Trump for his fucking puppet is killing and torturing children!

[lunamagica]

21. It's sickening

[Kid Berwyn]

22. If only there was some process for removing him from office?!

Let’s hope Putin tires of all the bad press.

[Vinca]

23. This should be the headline on every news broadcast.

And you're right. It's got Stephen Miller's fingerprints all over it.

[triron]

24. No limit to their evil. Hitler would be proud.
