They are the most impenitent, prideful, sadistic, and inhuman people in American politics, using even the unborn as human shields to justify their *real* desires: the hunger for totalitarian power that thinks nothing of kidnapping and holding hostage as many children as they can to achieve their ends. The millstones around their necks are heavy and the depths to which they are plunging are as deep as hell if they do not repent. And how shall people so full of infallible pride ever repent apart from a miracle of grace? Pray for them that they do because they will never pray it for themselves in their towering Pharisaic pride.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever Trump or his base of liars ring the changes on this:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrats can fix their forced family breakup at the Border by working with Republicans on new legislation, for a change!
