Two More Status Reports, For Friday's "Missing Border Kids" Hearings -- In San Diego


I am about as bone-weary of Trump's malevolence, and endless cruelty. . . as I can possibly be.

Even so, the "Ukraine quid pro quo" story -- now well documented, in sworn testimony of Trump's own acolytes -- may be less damning, ultimately, in the historical record, some years from now -- than the below narrative arc. Intentionally mis-placing thousands of children -- many of them not over two years old -- abominable. And clearly, in at least some cases, allowing third parties to swoop in, and offer the babies for US private charity "adoptions", despite having kidnapped them from their parents at the border -- such a thing was unthinkable, just four years ago. Here is report one [eighteen pages]. Here is the New York ancillary report [five pages], from the Ms. MMM class action. They paint an improving -- but still grim -- picture.

This whole two year organized onslaught is a crime against humanity, and the shocking scope of it is. . . in my estimation, less than widely known. We are well over 4,400 children who were unlawfully taken at the border -- and whose status and safety is still being determined. This is thus. . . our government -- the one we all pay for:

. . . .Since the last Joint Status Report, the government has provided two more lists that disclose 266 previously unreported children of potential class members. The Steering Committee is actively attempting to reach families of these children. . . .


Onward. Let us now swiftly impeach him [as is the sworn duty, under our Constitution] -- and end his officially sanctioned malevolence, permanently. McConnell should now well know: if he doesn't act appropriately in the Senate -- and even if he does -- his seat is likely gone, come November 2020, given last night's Governor election results, in Kentucky, and elsewhere.
