@ToddMikeSchultz In your fevered imagination. But the point is that we call the place where people are detained who are believed to have committed a crime and who are unlikely to appear for court “a jail.”/1
@ToddMikeSchultz A subsidiary point is that the conditions and policies involved date from well before the Trump administration and only became significant to the “woke” for political convenience in the last couple of months. This is shown in part by the fact many of the images date from 2014./2
@ToddMikeSchultz And in part by the fact that the Goddess of Woke and her squad voted against additional funding to relieve the conditions. And, of course, by the well synchronized “first there is a crisis then there is no crisis then there is” statements./3
@ToddMikeSchultz Then of course there are other protests against deportation of people who already been tried and ordered deported. An inconvenient fact that is rarely mentioned. The truth is that if these people were important to you as people, they would have been important before Trump/4
@ToddMikeSchultz The fact is that if you objected to this policy it would have been a major issue when it was stated by Obama. /5
@ToddMikeSchultz The fact is that either you’re completely ignorant of the history for these people including the kids are just political pawns to you. That’s despicable and your virtuous preening doesn’t change it. /6
@ToddMikeSchultz The policy only became bad because you don’t like the current president and the situation went from being a manufactured crisis or a fake crisis to a real crisis only when someone decided it was useful politics./7
@ToddMikeSchultz So if I use plain words to describe a place where people await judicial process when they can’t be trusted to return for a hearing, It’s because plain words help cut through the Bullshit Screen being thrown up for political reasons./8
@ToddMikeSchultz I realize that using plain words distresses and embarrasses you. In fact that’s my intention. I don’t think you should be able to hide behind facile cant. You do. Too bad./end
