Save the children

Wasn’t there a poster here at one point who repeatedly claimed Messrs. Trump and Q were saving millions of children worldwide from the likes of human trafficking? I don’t recall if any tangible evidence was given to prove those claims, but they seemed legit.

It’s sad we don’t get updates on that any more. Never fear though.

From a month ago:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/26/us/politics/migrant-children-missing.html

“A top official with the Department of Health and Human Services told members of Congress on Thursday that the agency had lost track of nearly 1,500 migrant children it placed with sponsors in the United States, raising concerns they could end up in the hands of human traffickers or be used as laborers by people posing as relatives.”

"Immigrant children in the custody of U.S. border authorities allegedly suffered pervasive abuse ranging from insults and threats to physical assaults, according to documents reviewed by the American Civil Liberties Union.

Among the allegations, U.S. officials are said to have:

  • Denied a pregnant minor medical attention when she reported pain, which preceded a stillbirth.
  • Subjected a 16-year-old girl to a search in which they "forcefully spread her legs and touched her private parts so hard that she screamed."
  • Left a 4-lb. premature baby and her minor mother in an overcrowded and dirty cell filled with sick people, against medical advice.
  • Threw out a child’s birth certificate and threatened him with sexual abuse by an adult male detainee.
  • Ran over a 17-year-old with a patrol vehicle and then punched him repeatedly."

This is all fine.

these people came her illegally, how do you know they arent lying?

also whats funny is technically, if the pregnant lady bears a child in the us. that baby is now a us citizen! an the us must now bear the cost of the child!

That’s “President Trump”. Also, it’s pretty obvious that he doesn’t care about illegal immigrants, or poor people in general. So, I don’t see why this would be important to him either way.

I was told there would be world peace dammit

I mean, they could just not cross the border illegally.

Seeking asylum is an illegal border crossing?

I really don’t understand the Democrat mantra of “The government is horrible and terrible and can’t do anything right. Therefore, the obvious solution to the problem is to increase the size, scope, and power of the government.”

At least the Republicans, for all their faults, want to limit the power of government. (In theory, anyway.)

That’s for the country to decide. So, yes.

@Ltj

Is this your grandpa on Avatar?

I fucking wish

Wanna buy Das Kapital with red cover? It’s still on my shelf…from mine grandpa.

Volume 1 or all 3? English translation?

One book with about 1000 thin pages. Probably all 3 in 1. Croatian-Serb Edition with comments by local authorities.

One might be in a specific mental state to read that.

Lmao. Nice.

Serious question - @ ltj - Are you a Marxist? A socialist? A communist? I know you’re left of center, but how far left?

Edit - let me rephrase the question, and let’s keep it to economics. Where do you lie on a 1-10 scale, with 1 being Joseph Stalin and 10 being Ayn Rand?

Think Trotsky or Lenin, no Stalin.

But yes, I am a Marxist.

Hmmmm…that explains why we differ in opinion so often. I’m probably somewhere between Milton Friedman and Von Mises.

Maybe someday. But, probably only for ten minutes.

Historically speaking, it is still a very peaceful time in history and this is somewhat improving over time.
