Of course, they just keep increasing the tidings of Doom in order to get even more funding….

Even when their failure to do so is destructive to them and those around them?
I mean, shootings, stabbings, Drunk Driving felonies….Murderers, blue collar and White collar crime? Domestic abuse? Drug possession? I mean, since we allow folks who cross the border illegally and are detained to keep their kids, why not all lawbreakers?
We are gonna have to build bigger prisons then.
Lots bigger. And probably add private showers and Playrooms…
Yeah, but that’s different. He was the LightBringer(er)…Today, it is Trump.
Even CNN is noticing the double standard. Which means it is pretty damned obvious.
Today, the most dangerous toy in the world is a Water Balloon Slingshot.
I find that sad.
I had toys that would burn you, cut you, and, if you did it right, I could make shit that would give you chemical burns and probably blind you available in my chemistry set.
I mean, really? The best you can do is a water balloon slingshot?
We had Jarts, which were heavy, sharp pointed real lawn darts. One had to learn to Stay Out of The Way when they were falling.
I had a lead soldier kit. Yeah, real molten lead and some molds. One learned quickly to Not Spill Molten Lead On Your Skin.
Real Bows and Arrows. With points.
BB guns. Don’t Shoot Your Brother In The Face. (the ass was OK though).
Other toys too, all potentially lethal or damaging.
And we survived.
Water Balloons? Really?
The parents, of course, blame everyone but themselves.
” No plexiglass. Not protected. Not held down . . . There was no border around it. There wasn’t even a sign around it that said, ‘Do not touch.”.
Watch the video. Kid was unsupervised. Totally.
I think the kid’s parents should be forced to pay the bill.
I used to run a motel. Parents would leave their kids to run round for HOURS. from a young as 2 or three….No supervision, no one watching them…either to discipline or protect ’em from predators. If they got up to mischief, or got hurt, they tried to blame the business. If we tried to stop little Suzy or young Hunter from climbing into the vending machine or something, we were castigated because she/he “Isn’t your child” .
Parents are responsible for the behavior of their child, even up to and including damage they do, either through maliciousness or carelessness.
Deutschland to give up it’s 10% protective tariff on US made automobiles.
Odd, that. Tariffs are bad….right?
I’m sure she thought that was something to be proud of and all her friends are buying her a Frappachino right now.
The folks detained are treated as criminals….’cause that is what they are. And the treatment of their families is the same as any parent arrested and detained by Law Enforcement: The kids are placed in protective custody, the same as any dependents of a US citizen who was arrested and detained would be. (When possible, kids are placed with family members, if not DCFS or another local agency is charged to find a place to care for them….there is no difference in the treatment of the kids of folks detained, US citizen or not).
The Trump administration is not the first to do this. But the issue gives the media a way to (independently, of course) hammer on him yet again.
The media, and especially the folks they interview, seem to feel that these illegal border crossers have every right to enter this country, and that they are doing no wrong when they do. This is simply not the case. They have no right to enter our borders without permission. Further, the implication is that these folks don’t cost the US anything….which is also false. Illegal immigrants cost the US in excess of $120 BILLION every year.
At the end of the day, again, I would ask each of those folks who believe that these border crossers have every right to enter our country and live here without the permission of our government, and believe that they cost us nothing, each take a family of at least 4 members and house ’em, clothe ’em, and feed ’em. Put your money where your mouth is, folks, or you are a hypocrite. If you wish to welcome invaders into our country that will dilute our wealth and standard of living, then let us start with YOUR wealth and YOUR standard of living.
