    I just reread my post and I can't see where I said you were taking anything out of context?

    Biden administration to house migrant teens at overflow facility in Texas closed under Trump

    WASHINGTON – The Biden administration plans to reopen a controversial overflow facility to house unaccompanied migrant teenagers as the government grapples with the possibility of a surge in apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

    At any rate ... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...texas-facility-closed-under-trump/4378699001/

    Biden isn't expanding, nor even following trump's inhumane policy. He's moving teenagers already cleared from Covid to another facility until they can be reunited with their parents.

    "Kids in cages" remains a simplistic slogan which if anything obscures the true cruelty and horror of the Trump administration's family separation policy. :waiting:

    Jesus wept.

    Are you thick? I'm genuinely asking this, because it says right there: "Unaccompanied migrant children."

    No one is talking about separating children from their families, like your boy Donald did.

    Remember, GhostEcho is Sean The Irish Bastard, and believes the Earth is younger than the domestication of the horse.
    Never forget that.
    He rebooted his account hoping you'd forget that.

    And he's hoping to forget that, because it would rule out the wistful smile on his mother's face AND his more erudite, successful and chestnut locked (but weirdly four-legged) half-brother.

    Not my mom. She's dead.

    But, considering that last post ..., I'm guessing Dayton.

    The stages of conservative confession...

    "It's fake news!".

    "Okay, it's really happening, but you're being a snowflake about it".

    "Okay, it's happening, and it's evil, but your side did it too".

    "Okay, it happened, and it was evil, but your side did ALL of it, and framed our side".

    "Okay, it happened, and it was evil, it was all our fault, but let's put it all behind us, and have a group hug. Huh? Huh? Group hug? Come on!".

    "Um......*runs away*".

    So it's ok to put kids in cages as long as there's no one to look after them?

    I'm already on record in this thread as being against kids in cages, even when DJT was in the White House.

    True. Says so right in my signature line.

    That's silly. Obviously horses were domesticated some time after the origin of the Earth. You're talking crazy talk. How could horses be domesticated before there were horses? That's loopy talk. :unuts:

    True.

    False. Not the reason I rebooted my account. Literally don't care what people remember or forget.

    Summary:
    You scored 2 out of a possible 4.
    50%. You get an "F". Fail.

    You need to repeat this course next semester if you want credit. But it's an elective, so choose your fate.

    Your post seems to suggest as long as trump was in charge, whatever. But now that Biden has been in office ... what? 15 days? and these kids are still not re-united with their parents?!?! I'm outraged!!

    It doesn't matter what you previously posted. What matters is right here, right now. and you failed.

    Two points:

    1) You've had 31 months to vote "no" in the poll, but haven't done so.

    2) You qualified your position with an "if this is true" caveat, which isn't really the same thing. Do you now believe this is true?

    So I think either voting in the poll, or clarifying your position, would be helpful.

    It's also interesting that you had nothing to say in this thread from 2018-2020, then chimed in once, never posted again until Biden became president, and then you suddenly bumped the thread.

    Sure he is.

    We don't send 4 year olds who don't speak English up to represent themselves in court.

    We don't violate court orders to withhold toothbrushes, toothpaste and bedding to detainees in order to be as inhumane as possible to them.

    We don't commit hysterectomies on unwilling women as a crime against humanity.

    We don't separate children from their parents and then lose the children in intentionally obtuse bureaucracy as punitive measures.

    We have pissed off a lot of racist border guards that want to do these things, and are intentionally trying to make the situation look as bad as possible, when in fact, things have gotten a hell of a lot better.

    All of those things are documented, GhostEcho.

    You actively work to help monsters.

    What does that make you?

    Really?

    So these kids came here with their family, were taken from them in order to create psychological pain? As in that was the explicitly stated purpose of the separations.

    That is what is happening?

    Or are you full of shit?

    As usual.
