Trump was in favour of Chinese "re-education" camps

[muriel_volestrangler]

A reminder, now Trump is talking about "patriotic education" and accusing those who disagree with him of "child abuse":

About one million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and other Muslim minority groups are believed to be in the Chinese “re-education” camps, where it is feared they are subjected to torture, abuse and forced labour.
...
In his upcoming book, The Room Where it Happened, Mr Bolton claims the president backed the camps during a conversation with Mr Xi at a 2019 G20 meeting in Osaka, Japan.

“According to our interpreter,” Mr Bolton writes, “Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do.”

2. Yes but surely he or Barr wouldnt do UNTHINKABLE things to remain in power, right?

I know, instead of discussing it and preparing for it lets BASH the person who suggests it...talking about myself and others of course

Thanks for the story and link, we are in for some bad days.

7. Imagine them unleashing slaughterbots

They so would IF they had the tech (no clue how far along these are to being a reality) and the power.

3. I can't wait to see their version of the. . .

. . ."miracle of American history” from 1776 to 1863. How will they brush aside 35% of the history of this nation? How will they "whitewash" that "miracle" period in which enslaved people were lawfully dehumanized and abused to build the nation into a financial power? How will they describe the following 100 years of judicially enforced segregation? How will they describe the devastating effects of the institutionalized racism that followed?

4. Speaking of education...where is DeVos? Is she leading the principals, teachers and students in

their return to school...safely? Without question, she would be gung-ho for the patriotic education program just suggested by Trump. I could see her agreeing with the camps, as well. She might even be able to hire her brother, Eric, to guard the place.

Things are happening so fast, I am beginning to fear the near future...namely, the next 4 months. So much of the present day news concerns conspiracy-like scenarios...mainly put out to frighten people.

They are succeeding. I'm sick to my stomach after watching what's going on these past few days. I hope tonight's rally is taped, as he always gives hints of things to come so he can get roaring applause. Dog whistles galore. He's good at those.
