    Here, for the first time, we hear the audible wailing & crying of detained children that have been forcefully separated from their parents at the US/Mexico border. This is an awful human rights catastrophe from Trump.

        You’re lucky way up north, Bryan. You’re not part of a banana republic, there isn’t a giant gulf between the citizens, and, equally important, you’ve got a really fun playoff hockey club that’s built for the future.

        Jets are fine. Chevy doesn’t need to tinker too muchwith that group. Love Laine’s game, but I’m a little partial to the Finns 🇫🇮. I had them pegged to play Pens in Final. Missed it by just a weeeee bit.

        This happens every day to families all across the country when family court judges make one parent the sole source of child support and the other the sole care taker. So, I'm not getting the point here. This is far from new. But I'm glad it's being talked about.

        How many of those children are missing? How many end up in Walmart converted into a camp? US born children have Social Security numbers, are linked to their family or at least somewhat protected in State ran Family Services. These children have no credentials or protection.

        Thought provoking dialogue is the key to steering people in the right direction and initiating progress towards effective solutions. Not to mention, bring awareness to issues otherwise undiscovered.

        I’m almost 40 & still have vivid memories watching my dad leave on business trips as a young child - staring out the window & crying my eyes out even w/ the comfort of my mom & the knowledge he was coming back. It was still unbearable. These kids are literally being tortured.

        Trump appealed to the racism of certain voters to get elected & he's doing what those racists want by taking migrant children from their parents & locking them in cages. But this wouldn't be happening if Obama hadn't done it first. Democrats are also responsible for this tragedy.

        I don't want Democrats to exploit this tragedy for political points when they are also responsible. All those who empowered ICE, no matter their Party, should answer for their role in this tragedy and face consequences before there can be any possibility of immigration reform.

        I notice you spend a lot of time engaged in the whataboutism game with regard to the child torture camps. Outrage about the actual abuses being perpetrated is conspicuously absent from your TL.This is very telling.
