> [@Two\_Many\_Cats](#): > > I don’t know about deliberate destruction of records. > As I understood it, records were never taken down in the first place, so eager were these assholes to do their evil work of separation, and shipping kids off god knows where. They just didn’t bother. Every person who gets detained is recorded in an act of bureaucracy at its finest. According to the NPR report heard last summer, (that I have not yet been able to find), after the families were separated, the children were deliberately assigned separate IDs with no connection to the families. If someone wishes to debate whether or not that is “destruction,” I will not participate in that discussion. The action is worthy only of utter condemnation, however it was carried out. ---

ID numbers. I wonder… did they also consider having them tattooed, like the Nazis did in the 1930s and 1940s? I bet the fuckers did think about it. ---

What happens when the adoptive parents need to register them for school? Isn’t there some paperwork you need to show, a birth certificate or an agency’s certificate or something? In a similar vein, what’s, “You’re not my mother!” in Spanish? ---

Trump claims to have rescued Otto Warmbier, accuses Obama of getting him captured. > **[Trump Brags He Freed Otto Warmbier, Blames Obama For North Korean Capture](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-otto-warmbier-north-korea-response_n_5c799fc6e4b0e1f7765172ef)** > > “I got Otto out along with three others,” Trump boasted after saying he believes Kim Jong Un had nothing to do with the student's death.

That quote from Trump ended with the claim “I love Otto and think of him often!” What a revoltingly smarmy and impertinent way to talk about a tragically deceased person he never even met, and almost certainly does not think of often. Trump really is incapable of any interaction style other than the greasy insincere overfamiliarity of show business, in which any form of sympathy or appreciation is described as “love”.
