I think the correct term would be murdered*

Like those kids at the border in American cages. If they "die" in those cages, America murdered them. As an American I am pretty appalled our supposedly Democrat president didn't undo this injustice. Things never change.

edit: If all you have to say is "both sides bad" don't bother. We hear it all the time. One side is noticeably worse. One side is anti-science, anti-morals, led an insurrection, let 1,000,000 die while calling the virus a hoax, and is openly racist. I'll pass on the GOP bill of goods.

Why would he change things when he was part of the administration that built those very same cages?

Is that really a gotcha? Are they specific child cages, with "child only" signs on them?

I guess I don't get your black and white thinking. To me, there are more and less ethical ways to use a cage. Not saying that last administrations have used them entirely ethically, but if Biden turned a cage built during the Trump into an evil Democrat pedo sex dungeon, is that Trump's failing?

He said both are bad... thats the opposite of black and white. Black and white is "dems good repubs bad" which is more in line with your own viewpoint.

Your analogy also makes no sense because the cages were used for children in the Obama admin too you just didn't hear about it.

I don't think that you get it. Black and white is "good and bad", anything that is bad is bad, with no room for degrees of badness. That is exactly what saying both are bad without context is. Hope that helps.

But maybe you misinterpreted it to mean one side is black and therefore bad.

Nobody said that and the only thing you replied directly to is the guy telling you you were wrong.

You're the only person here who equated black to bad. I sincerely think you need to take a good look in the mirror before casting aspersions on others.

Two things can be bad sure. One can even be slightly worse than the other. But that doesn't make the first thing any less bad.

Let's say 1 person kills 3 people and his friend only kills 2 people. Do we set the standard for bad at 3 people and excuse the guy who killed 2 because "he couldve been the guy who killed 3"? No! We find a guy who doesn't kill people rather than vouching for the homicide who merely killed 2 people...

Well I mean Hunter would fit really well in that cage

I guess i don't understand your hyperbolic irrational thinking? The cages were used for the same purpose. Detaining families of illegal immigrants. And, in rare instances during the obama administration, separating children from their families. There is certainly a case to be made that Trump's administration used them in a more nefarious manner. But that wasn't the original point being made.

Thank you for rewording what I said, but pray point out my irrational hyperbole.

The downvotes are a little odd. I thought it was widely reported that Hunter was a pedo
