(828 posts)Kristi Noem the Head of Homeland Security, and Stephen Miller, Trumps version of Adolf Eichmann, will be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.

We should accept no other conclusion to this than their complete humiliation and defeat, not to mention punishment for their lack of humanity.

(19,905 posts)That any so-called "human being" could do this to another human is far beyond the pale of ethical treatment. Then again, Trump and his merry band of lowlifes have demonstrated time and again that they have no ethics whatsoever.

(3,117 posts)if every American saw it, maybe half would ask "so what?"
The way back, America, is going to take generations. Basic, elementary education has to be given our children. They must be taught -- and shown the documentation -- what the Founders really hoped to establish. They must be taught the inhumanity, of the savage barbarity, of authoritarian rule. Any tendency to want to torture, to humiliate and destroy perceived enemies must be shown for what it is: monstrous, ugly evil.
Then, after decades of work, it is possible America will be able to start reconstructing itself as a noble, fair, and just society.
If we have decades, it can be done. But do we have decades? And do we have the will?

(2,649 posts)So, some of the documents were redacted in word, and it didnt take long for someone to figure out that a simple copy / paste removes the black squares. My guess is some ninny at the FBI wasnt savvy enough to know how to permanently redact, so some slipped through. There may be more, and there may be other techniques, such a precise color filtering, that will uncover the blacks outs. So far 945 pages have been gone through, and here they are

(1,737 posts)We already knew about CECOT, it's abuses and the governments illegal extradition of people to a foreign country. But CBS should have not canceled it to appease the government. IMHO.

(12,407 posts)Just reading about it doesn't have the full impact. Seeing human beings express the horror they were forced to endure at the hands of our US federal government.
I am so disgusted and sick that I once defended the country that abused those people.

(22,148 posts)Seeing and hearing these men describe their actual experiences is incredibly powerful. The impact is completely different from reading a bland news article account of how Cecot is a terrible place.
It's like the difference between reading about the holocaust and watching a first person account of what someone went through (many, many of which have been preserved, fortunately).
I understand how you feel, Farmer-Rick, about how you once defended this country. But I honestly believe that the the country you defended is in many ways not the same one that is committing these outrages under Trump. Perhaps it may help to remind yourself of that.
The Orange Hellbeast is doing his best to transform this country into something that is completely divorced from so many things it once stood for, even as it imperfectly embodied them. The idea that people have certain inalienable rights, the separation of church and state, the rule of law, the list goes on and on. Those principles are being ignored by our disgusting excuse for a president right now but they are not dead yet, and there is still hope that we will be able reclaim them.

(8,020 posts)They are not in it to make money. They didn't buy it to inform. They are in it to help fascists retain power. That will guide the rest of their actions. Networks on the air have an obligation to serve the public, not a big orange asshole that a bunch of fucking stupid people voted for. Obviously the corrupt FCC will do nothing.

(6,127 posts)Also the point is not that its new information but the cbs tried to hide it. Also hearing voices of real people testifying. Not monsters as t admin wants us to believe.

(12,407 posts)Oh F*cking God, that was awful. The US did that to those people. We are a country run by pedo Nazi psychos.
The US corporate media is complicit with Nazis and pedophiles.

(8,939 posts)It's December 23rd and one day before we "celebrate" xmas. I can't watch things that infect my brain with torture! I will have nightmares.
My spouse is a naturalized citizen and I just read that another immigrant married to a citizen went to a green card interview and was arrested. He was diabetic and they fucking killed him by withholding medication and proper food. My spouse is a naturalized citizen and my world would be crushed if they did this to my spouse. I can't watch that.
I can't watch that.

(76,248 posts)Who could ever blame those Venezuelans or their families and or friends from becoming
terrorists who will seek revenge on Americans. Most all of the Venezuelans had never been
convicted of any crimes before they were rounded up and shipped to CECOT and Kristi Noem
posing in front of all those El Salvadorian prisoners with MS-13 and El Salvadorian tattoos
and calling them Venezuelan Terrorists was a crime.
Trump and his supporters are monsters who should end up in Venezuelan prisons.

in fear that it would be "disappeared" permanently, but then I remembered: "Hellooooo -- you're a DU-er!
"If YOU can't find a version, one of THEM will -- AND will have it posted by morning!"

I mean, they already do - but not broadcasting out will make them look even worse.
