Trump Plans Executive Order to Allow Detaining Families Together Indefinitely

Now you can be together when you lock you in a prison camp, indefinitely!
Becoming the monster you set out to hunt, that's what. Don't cross that line. If you need to ask why I suggest you think about where eye-for-an-eye has ever gotten the human race.
And as history shows over and over again, these things Trump has been doing are all too human.
Remind me again why he is still in power and not removed after the countless actions he had taken?
I know, justice takes time, but I've seen justice taken faster elsewhere than on this.
I am not hunting anyone. I did not get up today (or any day) saying let me find someone to fuck over. I would not be a murderer for calling out someone who murdered. I never said we should contain Trump in a camp like he is doing to children which would be "eye-for-an-eye".
We as a society, as human beings, use language to distinguish differences. Trump is different, thus IMO he does not deserve to be classified similar to rationalistic animal I am. I fit within the definition of human, he fits in the definition of inhuman. I will link you again so you can read it this time.

His cult controls the legislature, and it's the legislature that has the authority to remove him.
Prescriptivism isn't an adequate defense of your moral compass, and reaching to dictionary definitions to justify toxic sentiments is embarrassing.
This is my view as well. One's humanity is not determined by hereditary traits but by one's actions, words and values. Trump's values prove him to be more reptile or insect than man. Even predatory animals have a greater capacity for empathy. He is less than human. He wasn't always that way, and perhaps there may somewhere exist a way for him to redeem himself, but when his deeds are causing the deaths and suffering of thousands around the world, he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. He is vermin, a sociopath, and must be removed from power by any means necessary.
"oh shit they know, quick hide everything!"
By "not human", I really meant heartless and I should've written as such. And all those terms you wrote too since they describe him so well. Didn't think of dehumanization as I wrote.
Altho if he's a human biologically, it definitely is the only trait of humanity he has left. I think most will agree on that.
He is literally a human being, though. He may be a difficult specimen to classify, but he is definitely the same species as you regardless of how little you want to associate with him. The problem with this kind of rhetoric is that it ultimately can be used to treat people inhumanely if you've established that because X and Y they "don't deserve to be classified as human". You may be okay with this if it's someone who has 'lost the ability for empathy', but I'm sure other people can come up with creative interpretations as well. You may be looking for a term like "cock-juggling thunder cunt", which is not a species but still a perfectly fine way to distance yourself from him. This whole "they're not even human!!" thing is so dumb every time, and kind of arrogant to create this narrative where humanity is placed on a holy pedestal of goodness while "animals" is a dumpster pile of whatever we deem too primitive. Homo sapiens is already literally the most destructive pest that has ever existed on Earth. Just accept that there are good people and bad people.
Heh. There's that. But the way I see it, the way I've always seen it, those who dehumanize others on a grand scale like Trump are lacking something fundamental that is required to be fully human. They may be clinically incapable of empathy - after all, not once in all the news we've read about the man have we seen any hint of human empathy. To top it off, he's self-obsessed, a megalomaniac, and dumb as a sack of shit. Not the traits you want in a leader. Hell, they aren't even the traits you want in a McDonalds burger flipper. Better for everyone that he be locked away where he can do no harm, especially because he must answer for his crimes. And his crimes are many.
Our species isn't the only one capable of empathy. This exercise in classifying humans as human and not human is dangerous and pointless: you have several good words to describe him that doesn't require you to refer to some mysterious and immaterial "humanity" that's separate from simply being a human. Just say 'dumb sack of shit with no empathy', or 'sociopath', 'fascist', and 'criminal', if you want to put in some meaningful connotations. "Not capable of humanity" just frankly doesn't make sense, and easily leads one to think that you're trying to justify treating him and potentially others deemed 'not fully human' inhumanely, especially when accompanied with statements like "he must be locked in the deepest, darkest hole". Look at how fucking close America is getting to doing just that to immigrants. Do you think Trump's supporters would reject it if Trump said that illegal immigrants aren't truly humans and therefore not deserving of humane treatment? Dehumanizing needs to be shot down immediately and harshly, no matter who it's done to, because you're not always going to be the one deciding who gets to be human.
I think the big takeaway I got from this that truly haunts me is that for a day, our nation was divided into two groups.
People who were okay with putting children in cages and people who weren't.
That's terrifying.
It seems to me that my choice of words is an unimportant distinction. I haven't suggested he be denied due process or human rights, after all. Though with the current makeup of congress rule of law is dead in America anyway.

Doesn't seem that bad tbh. They get a case worker, they work with the child to determine a proper enviroment, and works with the flores decision.
This kind of stupid crap doesn't help create a strong case against Trump.
None of this overly emotional showy crap means anything. You know what means something? The fact Trumps actions are fucked up, and we can talk about those, the implications of it, but it's literally nothing but grandstanding to talk about how "Trump isn't even a human being!" and does nothing but foster a division.
Talk about the issues, this kind of stuff really is just fuel for the few Trumpers who are around.
We're forgetting what really matters.
The fact that the US still allows a man that, in 2018 put immigrant children in cages, to be in charge of a country.
Minutes after this was found out, heads should had been rolling for this monstrosity, and yet, here we are, probably closer to having Trump being proclaimed as saint than being proclaimed as a traitor and a nefarious fiend.
