I propose, at the start of any ranking of Presidential scumbagginess, that we start out by counting the bodies of the dead and maimed left behind. Apply some rationality (rationality = the ability to ratio, to compare relative sizes) and objectivity to our thoughts. Does that sound reasonable?

As long as you insist that everything is the Republicans'/ Democrats' fault, then you fail to grasp the REAL problem with American politics.

There you go, minimizing the horror of our "interventions", which are bloody and painful to the people that we "help".

During the Vietnam War, I saw a movie called "Hearts and Minds" and it made OUR VICTIMS very real to me, not just some colorless abstraction of "body counts" or tallies of "civilians killed", but people who lived, and then suffered and died at our hands. Mothers crying over the bodies of their babies, children crying over the coffins of their fathers.

It took a documentary movie, with none of the gore removed, to wake me up and make me understand what, exactly, we were doing to the people that we were "helping". Well, I can't make you sit down and watch Hearts and Minds; all I can do is post a few pictures and a few descriptions and hope that, somehow, reality will sink in and horror will follow.

What I find so terrible is that all of you people who CLAIM to be such nice, "caring" people can get so very, very tweaked about a child crying or about some concept like "human rights" can somehow ignore the literal mountains of bodies that we leave in our wake. Well, when I hear a child crying I just want to scoop them up and give them a hug. But let's be clear: This child is not dead, and neither are his or her parents. The problem is fixable, and should be fixed. Maybe we should start by NOT KILLING PEOPLE IN FOREIGN LANDS AND MAKING THEIR NATIONS HELLHOLES. Do you think THAT might be a good start? Or is that just too complicated for you?

Where is your sense of proportion, or reality? Don't you have any sorrow, or pity, or shame?

Apparently not! YOUR only reaction to the pictures of our victims is to attack me, personally, so you can once again deny reality, just as GSTRING's reaction is to attack me personally so that he can continue to minimize the awfulness. Why would you do that? Why would HE do that? Why would ANYone do that?

Why not? It will bring SOME recognition to the fact that our nation was born in genocide as well as slavery and the concept of democracy.

But if you want to make this an easier comparison, how about starting with Kennedy?

No liberals approved of our adventures in the middle east. We were ignored, as usual.

"Christian" TV host defends child concentration camps, calls kids "unclean" "debased" "god-haters"

“Rape after rape after rape,” Valentine said. “Children below 10 years old engaging in sexual activity. All kinds of sin and disgrace and darkness; the pit of the pits. So we’re not getting the top-of-the-line echelon people coming over this border, we’re getting criminals. I mean, total criminals that are so debased and their minds are just gone. They’re unclean, they’re murderers, they’re treacherous, they’re God-haters.”

www.rightwingwatch.org/...

She’s echoing Trump’s words directly. Trump used the framing “they’re not sending the best, they’re sending...”. That’s what Valentine is copying here.

Along with “infest” this attempt to dehumanize children. 10 year old children, is exactly out of the playbook of the KKK, Nazis and other fascist, sectarian organizations. If this sort of rhetoric takes hold in a society, there are numerous examples of it being used to justify ethnic cleansing or genocide.

Trump TV!

These people are vile. http://www.valentinespa.com/

She has a show on QVC. GET HER FIRED!

This is a good time to recall that we have never been given an even remotely satisfactory response to strong evidence that Melania Trump violated US immigration law and that she promised to produced documentary evidence in defense and then never did.

Melania Trump is traveling to Texas today to visit a detention facility at the center of her husband's family separation policy.

I seem to recall a lot of people here who CALLED themselves liberals, and a lot of people here who claim to be Democrats, who were all hot to trot to destroy Libya and Syria because, yanno, Obama was leading R2P.

"Liberals" here bemoan the thought of Trump making peace with N Korea or Russia because, yanno, Trump might get credit.

Further back, an awful lot of Democratic Congresspeople voted for the "Global War on Terror" which justified Iraq and Afghanistan.

Not seeing a whole lot of consistency from so-called liberals, who seem to be on par with neocons when it comes to getting out those missiles. Democrats in particular seem to go to sleep and "not notice' when THEIR party starts piling up the bodies.

Shall I find the relevant posts and information? Because you're clearly ignorant of the people here, and a liar as well as a troll.
