(13,776 posts)Condemning a human being to death by dehydration. Its horrific.
I dont believe in hell but I guess being a person who would do that is a kind of hell. Its just not as bad as what they are consigning people to.
Its one thing to be opposed to immigration but its just plain evil to dump out water. They might as well suffocate them in person and deprive them of oxygen (theyd probably be ready and happy to do that too).

(16,876 posts)If only people would see this and stop for a moment and think about the reality of what this caravan is
These are people, individuals and families, with only the possessions on their backs walking...let me say that again WALKING...hundreds of miles on the hope of a better life, on the hope of escaping the terrors of their homelands, on the hope in a promise of a country that used to be the standard bearer of freedom and opportunity.
I would ask any nutter who would denigrate this group of people...Would you be willing to walk hundreds of miles, across unforgiving terrain, with only what you could carry, to have the freedoms you take for granted every single day??
What kind of heartless country are these bastards trying to turn of into?

be flocking on our border to greet and feed
and care for these tired, hungry and hopeful
refugees???? The Christian Right not only
proves to be neither, they demonstrate a
selfishness and ignorance that can only
be considered evil. The worst of the worst.

(14,494 posts)if we mistreat these refugees. Trump made this non-event into a political shit show for his base, whereas in normal times this group would have been handled just like others have for decades. I really don't think Trump's minders take into consideration the exposure these issues receive on the international stage. It is currently getting lots of coverage in the European on-line papers I read - so now, his pants are down on another one.
I'm hoping that exposure leads them to back off these ridiculous lies and stupid preemptive actions. The world is watching, and I suspect many people around the world will express support for these poor folks as they near the border. Many in America will, too.

(19,204 posts)I look at the world news and see a shift to the right, into fascism. Now I know there are far more good, moral, kind people in the world than there are fascist assholes, but it seems like the assholes get all the ink. We have a problem of over-crowding on our planet, and until there is some way to equitably disperse our planets resources we're going to fall prey to assholes like Trump, Putin. Kim, Bolsonaro etc. who sow fear, hate and division in the world. Earth is getting to be a scary planet to dwell.

(4,079 posts)These idiot Magats are so terrified of that 4-year-old girl that they will take an AR15 into a place of worship and slaughter eleven innocent people at prayer. How does any of that make sense?
My heart breaks for that child and all of the other children in that caravan, as well as their parents, friends, relatives and neighbors who only want a life with some dignity and some chance to live free of fear and hunger. And the Magats would deny them even that.

(51,627 posts)and they wanted to know why I was at the Baby tRump Balloon parade in my city (we share a border with Mexico). I told them that the "terrorist caravan" was BS and asked, "Who would drag their poor kids thousands of miles if they weren't desperate to get away from gangs and violence, instead of being the actual violent gangs that the moron in chief is claiming on another news station" (I was hinting at Fux Ruse).
What idiots believe that crap?
