    Nope - I just don’t see any reason to assume the worst of a government when I have no evidence that they deserve that assumption. If this were about a camp actually in the US, I’d be a lot more prepared to believe that the conditions were inhumane.

      They sent people to the jungle without shelter. Do you really think they plan to meet all of their needs? And if they are just doing their best to cope with the migrants, then the US is responsible for sending them to a place that could not handle them.

        They sent people to the jungle without shelter.

        I suppose that’s possible, but Imma need a source for that claim, because it’s definitely not in the article I read. That seems more like the sort of blind, knee-jerk reaction the twit-head in the pic is intending to elicit with their inflammatory one-liner.

        Do you really think they plan to meet all of their needs?

        All of the needs required of a brief detainment before repatriation? Yeah, I see no reason why Panama wouldn’t do that, especially since they probably want these people out of Panama as soon as possible.

        And if they are just doing their best to cope with the migrants, then the US is responsible for sending them to a place that could not handle them.

        They seem to be handling them just fine. I agree that the US sending them there was a dick move, and probably an attempt at strongarm tactics on Trump’s part, but Trump being a dick doesn’t suddenly mean that Panama is running a concentration camp, as the talking head is asserting to make people angry enough to engage en masse with their “content”.

          Panama requested/offered this arrangement a few weeks ago.

          They* too, are bootlickers
