Monday, June 18, 2018

And another day where it is becoming increasingly obvious that there are very few republicans worthy of being called a decent human being painfully comes to a close. Yes, this was a hard day:

“The evil that men do lives on and on.” -- Iron Maiden

No, the United States is not better than this. Many of you just had your eyes closed and are shocked now that you have them open. Good. Now it’s time for change. The country can be better than this. It’s up to us to make that happen.

Photographer describes poignant image of crying child at border. "As a father myself, it was very difficult for me to see these families detained, knowing that they would soon be split up," Moore told Getty's FOTO of his recent ride-along with the Border Patrol. "I could see on their faces that they had no idea what was about to happen."

Border Patrol object to detention cages reports. They say they are “uncomfortable” using the word “cages” to hold children; that it’s ‘Not inaccurate, but they’re not treated like animals.’ If you’re keeping children in a cage, then you are treating them like an animal. And you may be “uncomfortable,” but you’re not nearly as uncomfortable as the children you have in cages.

And the question now is: Where are the girls?

Sessions on separating families: If we build a wall and pass legislation, we won't have these 'terrible choices'. Which means you just admitted you’re holding children as hostages. Jeff Sessions is a horrible waste of flesh.

“The President of the United States has stolen 2,000 little children from their parents and locked them in cages, to be released only if Congress gives him money to build a wall with Mexico. I’m pretty sure I have that right.” -- Chris Murphy

Border Patrol agent caught on tape joking as migrant children separated from parents scream and cry: “Well, we have an orchestra here. What’s missing is a conductor". The world may not be full of assholes, but there sure are a lot of infected pimples on its ass. Listen to the children cry.

DHS Secretary Nielsen denies separation amounts to 'child abuse'.

California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris has called for the resignation of US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen over family separations at the border.

Ted Cruz introducing emergency legislation to keep illegal immigrant families together. Of course, they’ll be held in gulags, but I digress. Ted Cruz is a horrible person.

Here’s How You Can Help Fight Family Separation at the Border.

Texas detention officer charged with "super aggravated sexual assault" of a 4-year-old girl after authorities say her mother, an undocumented immigrant, was being blackmailed to stay silent about the abuse — or face deportation. And you get pissed off because NFL players take a knee.

"Donald Trump is presiding over a sunset to democracy that is spreading across the world, eradicating much of the spirit of globalism that once was a beacon to freedom, free trade and democratic values." -- David A. Andelman

A Republican Who’s a White Nationalist Won a County Post in Washington State. The GOP may be scrambling to distance themselves from him, but it’s all a show. This is the face of the current GOP.

In a recent survey, only a quarter of U.S. adults could fully identify factual statements, as opposed to opinion, in news stories. Holy shit that’s depressing.

Ann Coulter is worse than a horrible person.

And Laura Ingraham is worse than Ann Coulter.

And Tucker Carlson is just plain vile.

U.S. Armed Forces is getting a Space Force (over the objections of the Secretary of Defense). A sixth branch of the military to feed the ego of a pathetic excuse of a man, and cause another distraction from all the shit that’s hitting the fan. “Help me Obi Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.”

Dozens of charter schools have used their greater flexibility to limit which kids make it through the schoolhouse doors — creating exclusive, disproportionately white schools. Which was the plan all along.

EPA moves to replace Obama-era rule protecting drinking water for 117 million.

'Incredibles 2': Theaters post warnings due to seizure concerns. Strobe lights? Really? In this day and age? With all the information we have regarding strobe lights and epilepsy/migraines Disney still chose to put this into a children’s movie. I expect better from the Mouse House.

A huge weed that can cause third-degree burns and even blindness has been found in Virginia.

In a bid to protect its ownership rights, Warner Bros. is going after Harry Potter fan events. Um, way to piss off the fan base WB. Not a good move.

“What a fucking day.” -- Anonymous

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
