Generally, I do not post Trump's tweets. This thread, though....

When I do post Trump's tweets, I get them from @UnfollowTrump. I couldn't find this thread there. I don't know why not.

“It’s sad. Here’s a gentleman who came to the White House and all they had was never to let him have an easy breath. All they wanted to do is impeach him. They started the day after he was elected, even the day after he was sworn in. But this President came to Washington and....



And we're off.

...but instead he chose to run the country.

That, and NOT provide reasonable ammo for impeachment, but this is Donald J. Trump we're talking about.

The Story of Yazmin and Mariee Juárez is Devastating, Inhumane, and Happening Every Day

<snip>

"When Juárez and Mariee arrived at the border, they asked to apply for asylum and were quickly funneled into the immigrant detention system as they waited for their case to be processed. Mariee was examined by a doctor and found to be in healthy condition with no apparent medical issues or immediate problems. They spent their first several nights in custody in a cell nicknamed “the ice box” because of its frigid temperature and were forced to sleep on a concrete floor with 30 people.

The two were then transferred to a facility in Dilley, Texas where they were crammed into another crowded cell. Juárez, clearly shaken by the experience, described the nauseating conditions in graphic and horrifying detail, noting that many children in the cell with them were visibly ill. The guards made no attempt to separate the sick children from the healthy ones, and it was immediately apparent that no one in custody was receiving adequate care.

Unsurprisingly, Mariee became sick within a week of their detention with a cough and runny nose. After fighting to see a doctor and waiting in line for hours at the facility’s clinic, Juárez was told that Mariee had a respiratory infection and was prescribed Tylenol and honey. The next day, however, Mariee grew visibly worse with a very high fever and diarrhea and vomiting. Again, Juárez stood in line for hours, begging for help and even offering to wear handcuffs if the guards would take her daughter to the emergency room. When Mariee was finally seen, she was given antibiotics after a quick examination. Juárez begged the clinicians to run additional tests and allow her daughter to stay in a more sanitary area until she recovered, but she was refused and sent back into their overcrowded cell with the other sick children.

Shortly thereafter, Juárez and Mariee were released from custody and allowed to stay with family in New Jersey until their asylum claim could be heard in court. Immediately upon their arrival, Juárez rushed her daughter to the hospital where it became clear that her condition was far worse than diagnosed. Mariee died six weeks later, on the day celebrated as Mother’s Day in Guatemala. At this point in her testimony, Juárez choked back tears as she described what it was like to watch her daughter die a “slow and painful” death. She ended her story with a plea to Congress to learn from her experiences and implement policies to ensure that no one in U.S. custody would suffer the way she and her daughter had."
