> [@Nazi -- I mean Republican -- meme](#): > > I’m an American citizen that broke the law. My kids were placed in a foster care facility till [sic] I get out. That happens to Americans every day yet liberals don’t say a word. But if you are an illegal they find this appalling. So this woman sitting in a prison cell broke the law severely enough that she was sent to prison. Obviously she hurt someone in some way. Therefore, someone who attempts to enter the country illegally, not hurting anyone, broke the law and deserves to have her kids taken away the same as the other woman. It seems that the Nazis – I mean Republicans – believe that the severity of a crime does not matter, and since there is ‘no degree of sin’, the punishments should be the same. So does this mean that someone who steals a tip jar should be executed the same as a murderer? Or are they only executed if they’re in the country illegally? ---

The news about children being put in prison hit today. I feel so much shame and rage about being an American. Our country is such a fucking disgrace. Not all of it, but you know what I mean. There are so many vile white nationalists here with no morals. We are such an embarrassment. ---

When you put monsters into power, you get monstrous behavior. Something like this or worse was _inevitable_ the moment America decided to hand the government over to Trump and the Republicans. ---

> [@SteveG1](#): > > The fat orange fuck is probably using those children as hostages, to get his fucking wall. Oh, and also because he is a bigoted nazi bastard. Pretty much. Trump is trying to cause so much pain and suffering that he hopes democrats will sign any bill in front of them to protect the children. Including building that border wall, which is just a useless white nationalist jerk off fantasy anyway (drones and technology are more effective and cheaper than a wall anyway). Since the legislature is needed to fund a border wall, Trump hopes if he creates enough pain and suffering that the democrats will cave and do whatever he wants. It’d be like if I wanted $100 to buy a KKK robe and confederate flag, but didn’t have the $100. So I grabbed a kid at random and started punching them and then told you ‘I’m going to keep punching this kid until you give me $100. this is your fault’. That is Trump and his apologists argument right now. They are using child abuse as leverage to get funding for a white nationalist policy item. ---
