Wait...I forgot he used to head up the Democrat terror arm, called the KKK.
And that’s the Dinesh D’Souza level crackpottery I was talking about, RG.

At least no Canadian families are being harmed.
It's only the "brown" Hispanics.
Not the Zimmerman family.
Is it not amazing how quickly they go to using race as a weapon?
So, you dislike the following of the law?
You prefer a President who ignores it?
Would you like a President Trump unleashed from the law as much as President Obama was championed for ignoring it once he did not have to worry about reelection? Is that the sum of your argument? Were you even aware of the separation issue until it was brought to your attention at the beginning of the week? Is your naivety so consistent that you think families were being held together this Spring and now, and only now being separated for the first time?
Please explain the Obama policy towards illegal families and children so that we can see how it differs from the policy Trump enacted upon his election.
Deny, all that you want.
No one has done something this horrible, for a long time. You cannot cover up legal matters.
The horse is out of the barn, and damage control will not have much effect, after the fact.

The Obama Admin did not turn all parents over to the Federal Marshalls for processing, but kept them in ICE instead.
There. Happy?
Trump didn't build those facilities or write the laws that brought them into being, dummy.
Kept them in ICE where?
Trump Plaza?
Racism gonna racism.
Ohhh buzz feed.....got some InfoWarz to go with it???

I'll remember that next time you shoot down someone for posting a Daily Wire or Info Warz citation like your usual hypocritical self.
I think that’s a bit unfair, because I like to talk about specific things, as generalizations tend just turn into circle-jerks.
So I will mention a couple of specific things I’m unhappy with what the “liberal media” is doing with the migrant children hullabaloo. Please let me know if it’s the kind of info you are looking for.
First, the wall-to-wall coverage, the “let’s jettison all other news and talk about these kids,” coverage. It’s ridiculous. And I don’t think the decision to cast aside all other news to talk about these poor kids is driven by the desire to help these kids. It’s ratings based, period.
Second, they are doing a terrible job of explaining what the Trump Administration is doing that’s actually different from previous administrations (Obama and Bush) with these kids. Almost all the time they are just saying “it’s not a law, it’s a policy.” And that’s almost as misleading as when Trump said, “the Democrats are making us do this.”
It’s a prosecutorial discretion policy. Previously, the prosecutors working with ICE had the discretion of who to charge with what crime, including not charging a crime at all.
Here’s the truth as I understand it. What’s new, and what’s lead to this crisis (and the crisis is the fact that the overload of cases is causing the apparata at the border to break down), is the new DOJ policy implemented by Sessions several months ago. And it’s not a “we’re going to separate kids from their parents, muahaha” policy. Sessions has told the prosecutors that they are to charge all border crossers with the highest crime they can, no matter the circumstance; he’s removed all prosecutorial discretion (not an especially uncommon thing to do, I might add.)
Because of that, every adult was handed over to the Federal Marshals. Because of that, it made sense to classify kids whose parents had been sent to the Marshals as “unaccompanied minors” and we’re off to the races.
The OE stops the policy of handing over all adults to the Marshalls.
The news media, however, has been able to get away with calling child separation the Trump policy because of the horrible contradictory messaging coming out of the Admin. Particularly, the quotes about child separation being an effective deterrent (and the quotes from other members of the Admin saying it’s not being used as a deterrent.)
This is generalized bologna. I’ll make you a deal. I won’t group you with Richard Preston, the KKK imperial wizard who shot at people with a handgun at the Charlottesville rally, and you don’t group me in with the idiots who threw bottles and balloons full of urine at the right-wing protestors at the same rally.
Sound fair?
If you're on the left, are you OK with the narratives coming from your reps in media/entertainment?
And don't ask what I'm talking about. If you do, you're either feigning ignorance/indignation and just gearing up to spar, or you're too far gone to see what's happening. I'm not inviting the dogmatic to spew. They probably will anyway, but I won't be replying to any of that.
I know there are some thoughtful people here who commonly identify with the left. Those are the people I'm interested in talking to. If you're one of them, are you uncomfortable with how things are going on the left? How long have you been aware of the problem? Are you trying in any way to restore some sanity to it?
And don't start howling that it's all about those dastardly right-wingers. If you have intellectual integrity, you can't pretend that the hatred being generated by the left isn't violently and grotesquely disproportionate.

When was the last time Duke said anything, 1980?
You do that, Moochie, you do that!
*tussles Moochie's greasy little scalp
A number of things:
--The crisis is not the overload of cases, period. There were something like 1 million illegal aliens entering under Bush in some years vs. something like 250 - 500 thousand this year (approximations). if we could process that many a decade ago without this clusterfuck, there is no excuse for not being able to handle it now. The idea that hordes are just pouring over the border in unprecedented number is just wrong.
Ohhh buzz feed.....got some InfoWarz to go with it???
Right now I'm spending my time being mad about things that are worth being mad about, like babies in prison.
And I don't have "reps in media/entertainment." I speak for myself only, and no one speaks for me.

You care enough about what that idiot says to look? Wait...I forgot he used to head up the Democrat terror arm, called the KKK.
The KKK are mad up of republicans and Trump supporters.
No amount of spin will change that unpleasant truth.
Rob....totally comfortable with his blatant hypocrisy....not at all shocking.
