With Thanks To Batocchio and the Jon Swift Memorial Roundup 2018

As the year ends, fellow blogger Batocchio - a regular at Crooks and Liars and Balloon Juice - does a Memorial Roundup of blogs in honor of an early revered blogger who wrote under the nom de plume of Jon Swift (in honor of the original snarker). 

I've been honored in previous years to include my blog, and this year I was invited back for the 2018 list. I heartily encourage the seven readers here to click and follow those links to the other honored blogs.

This year's entry is a brief but rage-filled Where Are the Children? rant from the early days of the ongoing national tragedy of the trump Administration's horrific treatment of asylum families, especially the jailing of young children, the physical and psychological damage inflicted on those children (to where children are dying in our government's custody!), and the more horrifying evidence that many children have gone missing from a system that's supposed to be keeping track of everybody.

Our federal government under trump and his fellow corrupt Republicans have turned our immigration system into internment camps, and God help us our nation has been ruining thousands of lives of those who want to come here as honest citizens instead of being treated unjustly.

This story needs to be on the front pages of every newspaper and on the first fifteen minutes of every news channel. The coverage on trump's criminal ties to Russia can take a back-burner while the very real and very painful crime trump is committing in front of the whole world needs to be confronted and pushed back 24/7.

MY GOD. Answer the question trump. WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN?
