what did germany have to do with one man in power in 1941??

Most, not all, of the power we allow him is based off of pure consent that can be withdrawn.

of anything we have done as a nation. Those things too were the result of the individuals involved.
We sink or swim as one nation and right now we are sinking like a rock.

And we are gonna hold to the fire the feet of everyone accountable.

Til then... Sorry but no,

Give someone that much power over your self worth and you have already lost.

Only time and effort will tell. But for these kids to be terrorized this way at the hands of "America" can only be described as shameful.

Don’t give them that power. They are not America.

We are the nation of the trail of tears, that used napalm on kids and Abu Ghraib etc.

Failure to acknowledge national history that is contrary to “traditional American exceptionalism" is to comfort oneself with fairy tales. A substantial amount of proud Americans support Cheeto but in 2018 we will have another opportunity to define ourselves.

They know how bad this is for them in the midterms. We will have the luxury of longue-duree navel gazing shame once we have purged Trumpism from office.

Is a fetish that reality based people find abhorrent. Facts are true which is why Dolt45 can’t stand them.
Shame is defined as a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior. If your conscious of wrongdoing by your country there is a feeling of distress. A US agency is physically tearing children from their parents and putting them into sh##es. Yeah I am ashamed. You can have shame,anger and truth all at once. These are not mutually exclusive. Knowledge of the facts of history enable oneself to avoid repeating similar conduct.

The very idea is anathema to Progressivism. But I am not ashamed of America, or being American...

To me the country issue is circumstances driven.

I couldn’t agree with you more that this is an atrocity and the dirtbag GOP is trying to duck the blame.
Here’s hoping you and I see a political landscape in 2018 where The GOp is unemployed!
Peace Bronx

Things are so fucked up and backwards right now. Fuck this administration and fuck Fox News.

This is the reason Republicans are trying to buy up as much media as they can. See the recent stories about the Pittsburgh cartoonist who was fired after 25 years because he drew cartoons critical of Trump. Control the media, and you will control the minds of every citizen who does not have the time or the desire to think for themselves, and that is a LOT of them.

These are the mean spirited things you see, when they get power.

every since I became aware of WHITE RACISM!!!!!!!! Many, many years ashamed, but I have brown skin.

and I am white.

What's being done to tell our allies and our enemies that Trump is not America?

The GOP has subverted American democracy to pursue power for billionaires. And they built a huge propaganda machine to do it.

and not feel as frustrated. There are several things to do, write, call, donate, protest, etc. There is a second protest on the 23rd in San Diego. Here are some links to check out and share. THANKS! # RESIST!

As awful as what is going on at the border is, it's not that.

We're pretty good at it, really.

The GOP is going to be rightfully crucified on this in the midterms, let’s not help them.

better and yet voted for stein or stayed home. Those are who you need to be ashamed of.
