Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He is a fascist and the worst president we could've possibly had that didn't commit straight up genocide.*
Removing children from parents is genocide.
No it's not. The goal must be to exterminate the entirety of a group of people.
Being a cruel fascist piece of shit othering central americans by separating children - parents in detention centers then reuniting most of them isn't genocide.

An example where it is but they aren't necessarily killing every one of them?

Wow lol. Just have to be 100% right don't you.
TL;DR.
Article 2 Subsection E: (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
-_-
I'm glad you know more than international lawyers who specialize in war crimes.
I'm glad you're watering down geopolitical atrocities as some political gotcha instead of trying to understand the truth beyond propaganda sound bytes.
I'm not saying any of that lmao.
That's literally one of the aspects of genocide as defined by the International Court of the Hague, lol.
Jesus, man. Smoke a joint or learn how to communicate better.
Weed and I have never mixed well lol. Most smoking for that matter. I blame living in households full of smokers for the first 18 years of my life. Thank god banning it in public buildings finally got around to being a thing in the USA.
And yes, it is, as I clarified to the proper context.
E: You can call a chicken a duck as much as you want. It doesn't make them both a chicken just because they're both poultry.
That can be an element of genocide, but you need more, otherwise we could say that putting kids into foster care is a type of genocide, which is silly.
We do and did to native Americans.
Not silly.
But that just proves my point that it has to be more than just putting kids into foster care. You wouldn't claim that we're guilty of genocide every time we take a white kid away from their drug-addicted criminal family. There has to be more to it as you yourself have just tacitly acknowledged. It has to be systemic and part of a much larger pattern, just as was the very program vis Native Americans that you mention.
Again, the case remains; simply removing kids from their families is not necessarily grounds for charges of genocide. We need more.
What about this do you not understand?
What about the real world events you're arguing about not being related do you not understand?
Do you think there was a single white kid in a cage?
Fuck you're retarded. 🤦🤡
Chris Hanson arrest them
Thank you for saying that. I have been making that case for years and no one else has ever agreed with me.
