Pool report: "Pence walked into the room a few moments after us. He paused for a moment ... It was quite humid and there was a notable smell of sweat in the air. He didnt say anything. Only watched. And then he was escorted out. It was a striking visual."

(7,947 posts)After all, they aren't nice middle-class white people in their own clean houses, are they?
I wonder if he's ever read the part of the Gospels of Jesus rebuking the Philistines, who thought they were so pure.

(1,376 posts)Someone should remind Pence that "I vuz chust following orderz" is not a defense.
dflprincess
(28,082 posts)Attached to his post that CNN is lying about the conditions. Not that it will do any good.
RHMerriman
(1,376 posts)Maybe not, but the reality is that he's complicit.
These so-and-sos want to deter immigration to the US; okay, make that case to change the laws to do so.
The same for the international treaties they disagree with.
But until or unless they can do that, do things by the book.
It's really not that damn difficult. The US processed and housed hundreds of thousands of refugees from SEA after Saigon fell in 1975.
Ford was president, proving that even Republicans can manage to do it, and without putting children in cages.

(7,649 posts)Is this really what your "Christian" values teach? This is inhumane and it's time for this administration to correct this travesty.
You, tRump and everyone else in this administration that's responsible for this mistreatment will burn in hell.
There are people donating supplies and those supplies are being denied. We have enough decent people in this country that I'm positive are more than willing to make sure that every detained person in this rotten facility are bathed, have available clean clothes to wear, making sure they have enough to eat and plenty of water to drink.
This is appalling! This is NOT the United States that I know!

(13,526 posts)The agent in charge of the McAllen facility said men
are allowed to brush their teeth once a day and are given
deodorant after showering. But he conceded that many
had not showered for 10 or 20 days because the facility
previously didn't have showers.

Are there showers available or NOT?
If there ARE, were they installed yesterday? This morning at 4am??

(11,415 posts)and 4 water buffaloes, the Red Cross with personal supplies and clothes, US Army tents and food brought by 200 state reserves. This can be fixed. It is not the fault of people not in power. Trumps diabolical mean spirited plan to create desperation is hurting all of us.
Anyone here heading to the camps to stop this?

(2,771 posts)DJT doesnt know much, but he does seem to get optics. Do you think he set up Pence? I sorta do.
On another note, someone on Twitter posted the second photo with the tweet Jesus is in that crowd. Yep.

A day in those conditions, okay. But 40 fucking days? Are you SHITTING ME?!?
Also, I got 100 internets that says those fences usually have barb-wire lining the top, that they took down because they knew it was bad optics.
