  • I'm so disgusted. These are children, they deserve protection, wherever they are from.

    "At this point the only family separation America wants to see is yours....from the WH!" Sooooo true!šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘
  • @Kaytecando
    I am so sick of Trump continuing to reference Obama & Hillary Clinton. If he isn't stealing credit for their administration's achievements, he is blaming them for some issue he caused!!
  • I'm over 60, and America's "high ideals" have rarely been on display in my entire lifetime.
  • @-WoodyVT-
    "The only family separation America wants to see is yours, from the white house!" BOOM
  • @dHolbach77
    2019 in the US, literal concentration camps with people/children actually dying, in a country that once, not so long ago, swore "never again" and backed that up by joining with other nations to form strong international protections against human rights abuses. What a dismal level the US has sunk to. Please do whatever is in your power to help stop this! (Calling/emailing your reps is one powerful thing we can all do!).
  • @dunngyllite7883
    "I don't need an exit strategy..." That statement alone should be enough to let all alarmbells ring.
  • @alexanderpbyron
    Iā€™m British, I love America, but can we please move on from the whole ā€œweā€™re the best in the worldā€ mantra. Both the U.K. and America seem to think of themselves this way and both are frankly in pretty dire straits politically right now Signed, Alex Jonesā€™ Liberal Globalist Appreciation Society

    If you are on the right side of history, you donā€™t have to argue the semantics of what a concentration camp is or isnā€™t.
  • @errgag3580
    OMG, you poor US citizensšŸ˜± What else does your great nation have to endure? Asking for a very concerned country...
  • @joshbgosh6200
    "...which is why we thoughtfully provide squalor." ~both tragically true and hilariously on point.
  • @ajthegoat75
    WTF DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT NEED AN EXIT TRAGEDY MY SON AND MY BROTHER ARE SERVING IN THE ARMED FORCES.
  • @DrFunkadunk
    I mentioned the Taliban and Somali Pirate captivity earlier in the day and my Trumpy uncle asked for proof, so I gave it to him. Surprisingly silent after that.
  • @NewMessage
    Don't forget 7 kids have died in detention centers. Remember when Stephen mentioned Donnie's 'scrap of humanity' yesterday? Good times.
  • The French should ask for the Statue of Liberty back. It was meant as a symbol of hope for immigrants. The US has abjectly failed hard to fulfil its promise.

    ā€œHereā€™s the problem with high ideals - you actually have to live up to them.ā€ Stephen Colbert, 2019
  • @dHolbach77
    If you aren't deeply appalled, furious, and saddened by the conditions these people are suffering in actual concentration camps, then you have no humanity. Do whatever you can to protest/stop this: it is our moral duty!
  • @MaryBrown955
    "Everybody wants to come in to our country"... No, we don't.
  • @aabbb5029
    "he made mouth sounds...with...the hole..." lmao. what a great way to describe any noise that comes from that dolt.
  • You knocked it out of the park buddy! Keep fighting the good fight! We need you to keep it up.
