    The dufus was corrupt before he had power. He was cruel before he was elected. Great cartoon.

    You're right - it needs a better caption.

    The dems have been to Clint Tx and reported on the deplorable conditions while strangely the duficans have not. While the dems are blamed for these conditions repubs have no solutions either. Of course a human process is a foreign idea despite the high season numbers, so I don't understand why doing NOTHING but warehousing migrants is a great idea.

    He got his money so we shall see how it's spent and how long it takes to do something about this inhuman conduct.

    Trump's inhumane conduct is nothing but a strategic ploy to get funding for his wall. He has stated as much in his twitter world. He cares not a whit for children. He would call them collateral damage.

    Trump's supporters have a lot to answer for. They are on record as putting Trump's "policies" above the care of children. The death toll is now at 7 children.

    This is far beyond incompetence.

    It is evil.

    Good thing the supporters of Hillary are sold on the ideas of civility, diversity, inclusion, and tolerance. Good grief.

    In the meantime, dozens of children are shot each year in the democrat, liberal stronghold of Chicago. Strangely, you do not choose to discuss that. Shame. Entire neighborhoods live in fear, but since that does not fit into the "hate Trump" ideology, we just choose to ignore it. Does that put the supporters of the dem government of Chicago in the camp of those who do not care about the deaths of children?

    Should we think you actually care about the living sitting in the bastion of conservative hypocrisy in the south?

    I'm doing everything I can to get all guns taken away and barrels melted.

    About as prejudiced a statement as I have heard in a long time. That's something I have long noticed in many liberals. Prejudice is bad when practiced by others, but just fine when practiced by liberals. Why is that?

    That's not the point. You and others on this board talk incessantly about the southern border. OK. Fair enough since it needs to be talked about. But you NEVER bring up the ongoing crisis of violence in our large cities which is on a scale dozens of times greater than what we see on the border. Why is that?

    Of course that's the point! And I haven't talked incessantly about our southern border. Our talking about violence in cities does nothing to stop it. What does?

    First of all, I'm glad you're posting again. You went silent there for a while.

    Secondly, I was not talking about you so much as others on this board who plainly hate Trump and harp endlessly on anything they see as a problem with his administration. And you are right. Talking about things does nothing to change them, be it Chicago or the southern border.

    Great question. Public pressure responding to the truth???

    I don't blame you for your response. It's the selective nature of the response that concerns me. It's like you respond to anything that will make Trump look bad, but not to other areas, just as bad and even worse, that might make democrats look bad.

    Public pressure on those who can make change happen. Some of those are the perps themselves.

    Add depraved indifference to my list of charges.

    Is the same thing true of the democratic machine in Chicago making themselves look bad by the killings of children? If so, why is it that you don't bring that up?

    Indifference to depravity seems to be a widespread problem.

    You have held 4 dead Americans in Benghazi against Hillary yet stand silent for the 7 dead in America. I guess the lives of migrant kids doesn't matter.

    You are quiet on the 4 and vocal on the 7. In what way are you better? And of course, in the meantime, hundreds are shot and killed in Chicago every year, many of them children, and you have no comment on that. I can only suppose it is because you can't pin that on Trump and that's what this is all about. People don't care about those migrant children. They despise Trump and want to express that. It is politics disguised as charity.

    It is tragic that children have died on the border. It remains to be seen if the border patrol itself is at fault.
