The banal face of evil…

Well…as every damn day goes by, trump and his evil cronies continue to torture children in…let’s say it…concentration camps on our southern border in direct violation of both US law and international treaties. If you haven’t seen it, you need to see the attorney for trump’s US arguing in front of an appeals court that the jailed children don’t need to be provided soap, toothbrushes, beds, blankets, or adequate food…arguing that having children sleep on concrete floors under bright lights is “safe and sanitary” and that the US is not obligated to do any more since they contend they are here “illegally” when asylum seeks are protected by law after presenting themselves at the border. This is the banal face of evil that trump and his cronies present every day while they rip children from their parents at the border and then try to justify keeping them in sub-human conditions…and, in this case the evil doer is named Sarah Fabian….I wonder how she goes home to her own kids when she is part of the torture machine that trump and ICE has built whose only purpose is that torture of “brown” people who the repubs and the right just hate because they are brown. For a little context here, even prisoners of war are guaranteed all of the basics of self care…food, water, hot showers, soap, clean towels, beds…that trump is trying to justify withholding from these children. These people are just evil…and if I were them, I’d be planning on never leaving this country again or they are going to have to answer for their crimes against humanity in the Hague….and even though I don’t believe in hell…if it did exist, there would be a special place in the lakes of fire for everyone who does this to children….
