The Trump Presidency

[thethe]

I am in favor of allocating more resources so that we can more expeditiously process the claims, including deporting those on bogus claims

Agreed but we still need to ensure there are no illegal crossings which necessitates a wall.

[thethe]

Oddly enough, that’s probably less the case than in the past, given conditions in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

Asylum can be granted in Mexico.

This is an important essential point. Trump policy has been centered on punitive measures and deterrence. This is part of the reason why, in a time of relatively low border migration, we’re seeing these humanitarian concerns. The whole “crisis” thing is essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You keep making this point but ignore the omposition of the migrants.

You keep making this point but ignore the omposition of the migrants.

I keep making this point because it’s entirely relevant. Trump ginned up panic about immigration despite cross-border immigration being at, like, a 30-year low. So, what, the countries of origin are different? There are more families and fewer single men? Shouldn’t that assuage some of your concerns about drug-smuggling and crime? Why does that in itself constitute a crisis, and necessitate creating a crisis with unduly punitive enforcement?

The whole conversation is screwed sideways. Most immigrants with unlawful status are visa overstayers. Most drugs are smuggled through legal ports of entry. Cross-border immigration is at a low point in recent history. Immigrants, regardless of legal status, commit fewer crimes per capita than the native population. The humanitarian issues largely persist because of specific and intentional policy choices by the current administration and by its predecessors. Trump’s predecessors—Obama, Bush, and Clinton—can be justly criticized, but Trump has escalated both rhetoric and policy to a point that has needlessly created additional suffering, in service to a political base motivated by nativism and racism.

Obama is no longer President.
HRC was never President
Playing the silly alt-right game of gotcha is sophomoric and childish. Not to mention besides the point
Address today please


In many ways, 2014 is ancient history

If memory serves in 2014 you were predicting the demise of ACA

It always amazes me that the lefts moral compass only comes in play when their guy is no longer there (Bill, Obama)

Will be fun when Northam finally leaves office and then I imagine blackface will matter again.

But hey, at least Goldy thinks Obama is just as much of a scumbag as thethe!

[57Brave]

oh, "the left"

[57Brave]

Remember when Obama announced his candidacy and stated there are "rapist and thugs" coming across the border ?

Remember when Obama tried to institute a Muslim Ban ?

Remember when Obama told the world about ****hole countries ?

Remember when Obama used a racist slur to taunt a sitting US Senator ?

Remember the time Obama left a USS Territory to fend for itself after a hurricane ?

Remember when Obama instituted the Zero Tolerance policy at the southern border

Remember that time Obama declared there were good people on both sides, hours before a man drove his car into a crowd?

Remember that time Obama used his Presidential power to declare a national emergency at the border, attempting political leverage over a wall?

yeah, Obama's policy at the border was equal to the current --- and the outrage ... where was the outrage


oh, and the time Obama sent his wife to visit refugees wearing a jacket ...

" "I really don’t care, do u?"

“The president has already indicated he would veto the House version,
which has far more humanitarian aid for these children, which I think indicates

there is political intent behind the suffering of kids at our border,”
@AOC told me when asked about border funding bill talks

Every military scholar/general/person with experience of warfare, knows

that the critical lessons from Iraq & Afghanistan were a lack of a realistic exit strategy.

His comments lay out for all to see Trump’s dangerous arrogance and incompetence as a C-in-C.
