I read the article. I take a look at the thread title. I read OP's post.

What was the purpose of this thread again? Is this another Dems/Left dindu nuffin wrong?

Simple reading comprehension already says it's a problem way before Trump took place. I think OP needs to be banned for posting skewed half truths. This is the exact cancer that's been plaguing the internet with regards to anything political.

Sadly that won't happen as this place is slowly transforming the mini-resetera.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Well I posted in the Moderator Thread. Let's see where this goes. But so far there's another poster trying to defend such threads. It's very hilarious.

If you really are interested in knowing why so many people come to that conclusion, you need only look at the title of this thread. Compare that to a direct quote from the article:

"This is not a partisan issue as reporting suggests many have been occurring for years. Immigrant families and children kept in federal custody deserve to be treated with basic human dignity and respect and should never be subjected to these forms of abuse." Those quotes come from senators Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

Additionally, the story specifically says: The bipartisan leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee asked federal investigators late Monday to examine allegations of sexual, physical and emotional abuse of immigrants held at government detention facilities, saying the mistreatment may have been occurring since 2014 or earlier.

So as someone who clearly sits in the middle of the political spectrum, my takeaway from this is that their is concern with the treatment of immigrant children in government facilities. The issue has potentially existed since 2014 or earlier which means that it has happened during both the Obama and Trump administrations. Politicians from both sides of the isle would like an investigation into this situation. 

Compare that to the title of this post and some of the responses and you will see why people would classify this as fake news. It's not that their isn't a story here, it's simply the partisan way that the whole thing has been represented. 

That's political spin, doesn't mean it isn't true. If it's being going on since 2014, and still happening now means that it is happening in the 'Trump camps'. Failing to draw attention that this would mean it also happened under the Obama administration. A better term would be biased news.

Why is it a political spin when it's saying that it is an underlying problem ever since? So if Trump admin failed to call it out then that is the purpose of this action. Not label which admin is at fault(Trump, Obama or whoever).

The real political spin here is trying to label who is at fault just because they didn't try to resolve the issue. Putting blame on an admin is not addressing and fixing the issue in a constructive way. It's just a politically charged attack that aims to just glorify one side over the other.

The "We" refers to the oblivious everyday human beings that can't see through these bullshit Internet rants that are merely click-bait.  Thus, as a macrocosm, ALL humans are pathetic.

So you're defending Trump in light of these allegations? That's just sickening.

If you're blaming this solely on trump and not the individual committing the crime, then you have simply disconnected your self from reality.

I can kind of imagine the answer you'll get from the moderation that is issued on political threads.

Well I have a high chance of getting banned. Moderator just warned me because apparently I was condescending to a person who by the way was also condescending enough to ridicule my complaint. I mean if I get banned this isn't the first time I got banned for calling out nonsensical political posts.

Oh well. :P

Yep, expected.

I was banned (and funnily enough,  the reply to my 1 week ban saying the ban was wrong, came after the week had passed) for joking on a picture with immigrants jumping the fence and saying that was a good shoot practing place, but same thread several people wishing Trump death over and over (and on multiple threads) got not even a warning.

But let's stop here before we get a ban for complaining about moderation.
