    Through American history, some government officials have resigned in protest over policies they couldn’t support.

        This is what makes the current situation so unparalleled and brutally dangerous. The Trump administration is a freight train barreling down the proverbial tracks of America's values, custom, and ideals -- all that we hold near and dear -- loaded with TNT but without any brakes.

        In this instance, some officials should actually be prosecuted for ordering that criminal policies be implemented. It is illegal to abuse these children by separating them from parents and guardians. Stephen Miller, Jeff Sessions and head of DHS ordered this.

        Sadly, what we are seeing is a combination of horrific orders being carried out by those within a culture of enforcement agents that is not all well to begin with. We wondered how Abu Ghraib could happen... some pretty bad folks given the green light and a blank check.

        At some points in your life you're most defined by what you had the power to do, but chose not to. This is going to be one of those moments for Repubs. I don't care what you didn't do ("Well I wasn't the one putting kids in there!"). I want to hear what you DID do to stop it.

        Better yet -- ignore the policy and do the right thing. Make them fire you. "Oh, I'm not allowed to hug this crying child? Fuck you. Fire me."

        Through American history, some government officials have had morals, ethics, and common decency. There's none to be found in the White House now.

        Could have stopped there at "party" and spared the characters. If you still support that party in America, you're complicit.

        Time to get serious. Trump laughs at protest marches. Time for civil disobedience tactics.

        That was before we were overtaken by our complicit majority party enacting a political coup assisted by a hostile foreign govt.

        I also think the corruption of this particular congress will keep historians busy for the next century. There is more to it than fear. Some are compromised, some hope to survive. Some are part of the problem. This is a group of “leaders” unlike any we have seen before.
