1. I truly feel guilty about even watching the footage of these men

It's like anti- immigration pornography, made all the worse by Kristi Noem turning a totally unrelated Salvadorian prison into the "money shot" in her campaign to terrorize and disappear people without due process.

Family separation was horrible; this is many times worse.

2. Agreed! TFG continues to ignore court orders to turn the planes around and now he says he can't bring them back!

Meanwhile, we have no idea if these men are still alive!

3. About 500 of those children

have been "lost" in the system and were never returned. I don't think that it is possible to say which is worse. I don't think that there is any reason to, both actions are despicable.

4. They wouldn't LIE????

5. Of course they are, they refuse to follow judges' orders which has to be a crime.

6. Just so this is still an option...

When the shoe is on the other foot. I know a lot of "Bad Hombres" who need a haircut. Seriously, their cruelty MUST be meted out to them in kind. Goose/Gander rubric... Make It So. Irony is like Frosting on the Cake.
