Stephen Colbert Rips Jeff Sessions a New Asshole

[Amarok]

I'm sorry the " we don't keep prisoners with their kids" argument does not work. There is 100% no reason to do this .

Take it up with Congress/prez we had in 95.

To bad, so sad. Bigger outrage is lack of consensus to fix problem as the politics of the situation are more valuable than helping the kids. And that ain't on me either, except to the extent I've voted for some real pieces of shit over the years.

Imagine where we'd be today had the DNC noted upon losing only 500 governorships, state legislators and US Congresspersons INSTEAD OF 1000, and changed tactics accordingly to stem the losses.

Can't blame Trump for that self inflicted wound. And harping about him instead of building a fire under Perez/Pelosi/Schumer ain't fucking helping either. I remarked recently about what would happen if 100,000 people with torches surrounded the NRA building, maybe I should be wondering what would happen if a 100,000 believers surround the DNC headquarters and demanded they start playing to fucking win now ??

I don't care about the president of 95 or 2015 or any other politician this has nothing all to do with any of that as far as i'm concerned.There is no reason to do this and should not be done . That's my position to hell with the politics .

Do you have any idea how emotionally and psychologically traumatizing it is to seperate a breastfed infant from its mother?  That’s cruelty of unfathomable proportions, no matter who’s administration it happens under.  How can you defend such a thing?  Unnecessarily harming babies for the transgressions of their parents is indefensible, IMO.  But go on.  Keep telling us what moral pigs we are for being pro-choice.  Life is precious unless your born and/or brown, am I right? 😏

I didn't hear any of you making an issue of this when the same thing was happening under obama. But go ahead. Let the democrats try and make a campaign issue out of this.

Do you have a citation for your claim?

Yet for George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the idea of crying children torn from their parents’ arms was simply too inhumane — and too politically perilous — to embrace as policy, and Mr. Trump, though he had made an immigration crackdown one of the central issues of his campaign, succumbed to the same reality, publicly dropping the idea after Mr. Kelly’s comments touched off a swift backlash.

But advocates inside the administration, most prominently Stephen Miller, Mr. Trump’s senior policy adviser, never gave up on the idea. Last month, facing a sharp uptick in illegal border crossings, Mr. Trump ordered a new effort to criminally prosecute anyone who crossed the border unlawfully — with few exceptions for parents traveling with their minor children.

How Trump Came to Enforce a Policy of Separating Migrant Families

Apparently the latest nazi policy flows from the shithead Stephen Miller.

Trump aide Stephen Miller brags about policy ripping immigrant kids away from parents: ‘It was a simple decision’

When you get your policy from a toilet you can expect it to be shit.

Still, we can expect Les Deplorables to march in support of anything their cunt leader says.

Can't blame Trump for that self inflicted wound.

Possibly not, but I can certainly blame him for not stopping this cruel, inhuman (not just 'inhumane'...'inhuman'), and psychologically damaging practice of separating children from parents.  He could, I'm given to understand, stop it instantly. Since he has opted not to do so, I blame him for all the harm caused by this practice, including the Honduran man who committed suicide after his three year old son was forcibly taken from him.

Because it wasn't happening under Obama, under Obama families were put into detention centers together. The new "0 Tolerance" policy instituted by Trump has separated 2000 children from the parents since April. Trump decided that taking children away would act as a deterrent to families trying to sneak in to the U.S., saying that this was the policy under Obama is just not true.

There is not a jail or prison anywhere around me that keeps children together with either parent.  And it's been that way a very long time.  Unaccompanied children coming across highlights an even worse problem due to predation along the way, IMO.  What happens here is better in any regards compared to what can or does happen to them along the way.


heard a commentator bring up Elian Gonzalez on POTUS yesterday, just my mentioning that is probably going to punch some buttons here.


LOL, when did I get so fucking cynical ???  IO don't think I can blame the meds fro that . . . .

Well that's just it, this is not a crime that sent you to jail or prison for any period of time, unlawful entry into the U.S. is a misdemeanor. That's why families were held together in a detention center, they did not want to take the children from their families. Instead Trump thought it would be a good idea to use it as a deterrent and that is just inhumane.

Love that picture, and unfortunately true. Sad that too many Americans cant see that we fought a war against purity and hyper nationalism.

I shot Sarah Fuckabee a tweet saying if you ever fuck with my neighbors you'll have to arrest me too.

Are your neighbors here illegally?

I don't give a fuck. In my 51 years I have run into far more white citizens born here in far more legal trouble than you know. I'd take an undocumented peaceful family over lots of assholes born here. I have Hispanics living on both sides of me, have for over 10 years. NO I am NOT going to ask their status or rat them out. AND FUCK YOU for asking.

The west already had "PAPERS, LET ME SEE YOUR PAPERS" and that asshole committed suicide in a bunker in Berlin in 1945.

If you want to talk about invasions, just ask blacks and Native Americans. My Hispanic neighbors are only guilty of wanting what every human wants, a better life. I am NOT about to send them back to places where famine or crime would have them killed. Their nationality does not change that they ARE MY FELLOW HUMAN BEING.

[Wyrd of Gawd]

The obvious solution is for the US to invade the shit hole countries, kill all of their leaders, and run the countries so that the people will stay in them and not come here. Which country should we start with, Mexico, Honduras,
Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua?
