Trump Administration Repurposes Japanese Internment Camp
by tristero
Nearly missed this one. Suffice it to say that once again, those arguing that the decision to impeach is a political decision (OMG! OMG! It''ll never pass the Senate and it will really upset some mean Republicans!!!) don't have a moral leg to stand on:
The Trump Administration has opted to use an Army base in Oklahoma to hold growing numbers of immigrant children in its custody after running out of room at government shelters.
Fort Sill, an 150-year-old installation once used as an internment camp for Japanese-Americans during World War II, has been selected to detain 1,400 children until they can be given to an adult relative, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
That's right, the Trump administration has repurposed the infamous Japanese concentration camps to contain the latest menace to the white man. What's next, reviving Zyklon B? I truly don't get it. My parents didn't raise me to back away from a moral outrage, let alone the perfect clusterfuck of moral outrages that is the present Republican/Trump regime.
Something is truly sick in this country when the argument "The Politics Aren't There!" is considered a legitimate excuse not to do the obviously right thing.
Impeach. Keep on impeaching. Now.
