Love it when libs lecture us on human rights abuses in China or elsewhere, meanwhile…

"In shelters across New York, migrant children sit in front of computer and TV screens, appearing virtually in real court proceedings. They swivel in chairs, walk in circles and play with their hair — while immigration judges address them on the screens in front of them.

    I’d feel pretty fucking stupid being a full grown adult and holding a trial against a 4 year old.
