    Did I mention faux news, Hannity or coulture? I linked to a repube congressman from FL and an ardent Team Trump Treason supporter being fact checked for a similar claim. You claimed that you thought it was a Team Trump Treason campaign promise. So, did you blindly accept Team Trump Treason’s campaign rhetoric, you know, from the guy who tells on average a minimum of six lies a day, if you didn’t get it from faux, Hannity or coulture? God forbid you form informed, fact based opinions.
     
    I Said I thought it was a campaign promise.  I even indicated I wasn’t sure by the use of the question mark At the end of The sentence. And I didn’t even vote for the guy!!!!!

    Really? If you haven't read any info saying that, it's clear you haven't sought one fucking article about this. I screen grabbed what showed up when I simply searched "cages" on Google just now. No mention of Trump, or immigration or anything - and yet, would you look at those results! What other obvious and immediately provable realities would you like to ignore?



    Ummmm, no.  Fact checked.  False.

    Yes, you did say you thought it was a campaign promise by the way you posed your rhetorical question, lending credence to the idea. Had you simply asked, “was it a campaign promise?” You wouldn’t have given any credence to the idea that it could have been. So, was it a campaign promise? Regardless, why do you think it was? You somehow have the idea that it might have been, right? And I know you didn’t vote for the bum, Team Trump Treason.

    Well it’s of course embellished.  It’s true there’s chain link wire fences inside these warehouses, but in no way are they being held in cages.  It’s just a word the media uses to create hysteria- both sides do it.  I knew that it wouldn’t be true, there’s just no way.

    Did you even read the article? Did you read that that one, single photo was taken at a demonstration, but that children in what could accurately be described as cages have been seen by reporters and Democratic lawmakers:

    Democratic lawmakers who toured the facility have described children being held inside chain-linked cages.
    "We did see the children who were held inside here," Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon told CNN's Ana Cabrera on Sunday. "In wire mesh, chain-linked cages that are about 30 by 30 feet, a lot of young folks put into them. 

    Did you look any further than that one, single photo taken at a demonstration, to the other ones that you can easily find online? Maybe a video like this?

    "It wouldn't be true, there's just no way". Except it is, unless you know of a better word to describe locked chain link enclosures.

    Locked chain link enclosures that are 30’x30’ and cages sound a little different to me. Do you agree?

    There IS ust no way, it’s just sensationalized so you take the bait.  They look like partitions to me?  When prisoners go out and work out in the yard, they don’t work out in a cage.  It’s fenced in, it’s not a cage.  We can agree to disagree on the semantics of it makes you happy.  I totally agree by the way that this shit shouldn’t be happening in the first place, but there’s no reason to be calling it a cage when it’s clearly not.  Your second link through Obama under the bus by the way, not sure if you saw that or not.

    No. If your house walls magically became all chain link would that some how make it different than if the area was the size of one room? It's all a cage. Why is there so much word smithing necessary. Kids are locked inside a cage or kids are locked inside a larger chain link fence, sounds shitty either way.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    You mean the difference between a 30’X30’ chainlink enclosure and a pet carrier for a large dog or a 8’X9’ cell? Or a 30’X30’ enclosure with 10 kids or 60? What does a cage mean to you?

    I don’t comment on here much but I have Jewish friends and have spent time with their family members who survived concentration camps.. and for any posts to describe what is going on as a comparison to Nazis and their treatment of Jews is beyond reason. Just stop it!  You may hate Trump but to ever think this country would let things go that far is beyond ignorant. In this country there are two sides to this argument and if you read up and research the side that doesn’t agree with you then you may learn something. There were never two sides to Hitlers treatments of Jews.  I can’t believe I am actually having to say this...
    Shut the fuck up!

    I know from experience that the Trump-sanctioned brutality at the US border with Mexico will scar its child victims for life. What is happening in our own backyard today is as evil and criminal as what happened to me and my siblings as children in Nazi Europe. It needs to be stopped immediately.
