It ceased to become a hot and fresh topic and therefore there wasn't any money in pushing it to viewers anymore. That's the fucking awful world we now live in .

Because this administration has taken the 24 hour news cycle to its absolute limit and completely flooded the public discourse with garbage that is both relevant and not at all.

Holding facilities for illegals that were built by the Obama administration. Under Trump they became "concentration camps" because that sounds a lot worse.

There is a lot of criminal shit to keep up with. I still feel like this major injustice should constantly have a light shined on it to remind everyone of how black-hearted this administration is.

Not to mention there are children suffering for no reason

Politicians don't actually care about correcting issues. They only want their side to win, so they opportunistically bring up travesties and crimes for the sole purpose of mucking up the other side.

Until the other side gets wise and points things out that makes them drop the topic or look bad. Then they drop the topic. Like how these were first done under Obama and are only now a problem, or how there isn't better options put forth by people that would prefer everyone just come in and be Dream acted citizenship later but don't want that on record.

The problem is the zero tolerance policy enacted by the Trump admin.

The better option would be going back to using fucking discretion and not locking 50 people in a room meant for 8.

Do you guys deliberately misinterpret issues for responses or what?

In the absence of new developments or any apparent willingness on the part of the Trump administration to change its policies, the media stops paying attention and even the most committed activists can get burned out. Trump has, from his campaign, recognized that he can just wait out these flashpoints rather than meaningfully address them.

You see something similar in coverage of China's misdeeds. People don't talk as much about Hong Kong or the Uiyghur issue now, not because those problems went away, but because the Chinese government can not be outraged into changing its approach.

Nope, what I said is a simple fact. You then twist the facts to suit the results you want.

A literal "no u" from a Trump supporter. Though I guess that's the best you can expect from one.

A "no u" is "literally" what you "responded" to my post with in the first place. You're not very good at this.

Thats exactly what they do. They enjoy cruel policies and try to justify them by any means necessary.

They only don't like the negative connotations of their policies, but they sure do love their totally not concentration camps.
