No Bottom

What will it take for the morally bankrupt Trump party to start acting like normal human beings? This is beyond outrageous:

An Associated Press reporter saw U.S. agents shoot several rounds of tear gas after some migrants attempted to penetrate several points along the border. Mexico's Milenio TV showed images of migrants climbing over fences and peeling back metal sheeting to enter.

Honduran Ana Zuniga, 23, also said she saw migrants opening a small hole in concertina wire at a gap on the Mexican side of a levee, at which point U.S. agents fired tear gas at them.

Children screamed and coughed. Fumes were carried by the wind toward people who were hundreds of feet away. . . .

As the chaos unfolded, shoppers just yards away on the U.S. side streamed in and out of an outlet mall.




Is this what we've become?

Via New Civil Rights Movement, which has some of the reactions.

And this:

On CNN Monday morning Chief U.S. Border Patrol Agent Rodney Scott defended the use of tear gas by saying agents had to use it to protect themselves after some migrants began throwing rocks at them. When asked if any of the agents had been hurt he admitted they were not.

"You gotta do what you gotta do," he said on CNN.

Christ on a bleedin' crutch.

Which reminds me -- where are all the high-profile "Christians" in all this? *crickets*
