For a forum that sells itself as “fighting ignorance” there really are some dumb motherfuckers on here.
Popular vote was nothing more than anecdotal, meaningless horseshit. It’s not even how the game is played. Invoking it is something the sour grapes crew has fixated on.
So it’s clearly a better choice to leave them with hordes of people who use them as pawns to get preferential treatment at the border they were illegally trying to cross.
Well, I’m not amazed now at seeing people like you show how monstrous people like you can get. It is better to leave them with their families. Of course it is likely that here you are talking about the ones that are using kids from others to pretend that they are the real parents, but that also just shows how an ignorant you are of the numbers:
Hah, please. I’m Canadian. Were I American, I expect I’d’ve voted for Democratic presidential nominees since 1992 (in 1988, I think I would have preferred Bush41 over Dukakis) mostly because in my lifetime, I’ve seen Republicans increasing abandoning the field of reason. Frankly, I’d consider it both rude and disrespectful to pretend my friend wasn’t doing something stupid when he was clearly doing something very very stupid. I consider the U.S. to be a friendly nation and you will have my support on most issues, but voting for Trump… well, I’m not going to sugarcoat the colossal stupidity of that.
Well, you do have a lot more guns than you actually need, but as long as you keep them on your side of the border, I figure it’s your problem to deal with.
I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, and I suspect you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about either.
Good grief, you’re one mighty stupid moron! Anecdote is a story. It’s a fact that the majority of voters in the 2016 presidential election voted for one particular candidate, not the candidate with the abomination on his head. It’s a fact that the Electoral College selected Trump, not the person who, going by the usual meaning of “the will of the people”, was selected by said will of the people. I did not say anything other than the facts of the matter. The “sour grapes” bit is something you are pretending to read into what I posted.
Stop being a liar and you won’t have so many problems here. Well, you’ll still be a problem, but you’ll be less of one.
Trump’s been handed all the success he’s had in life. He was given his money by his father and he was given the Presidency by conservative efforts to rig the election process in their favor.
I’ll grant that he may continue to receive these rewards. But I won’t pretend he earned them through his own efforts.
I heard a podcast once that talked about the story line for successful people. In every instance it involved luck and privileged opportunity and was never solely because of the efforts and intelligence of the person.
Trump was given a HUGE head start in life and for most of his life he did what most people so fortunate would do. He lived a life of luxury, sometimes doing well, other times squandering it. But what he didn’t do was end up like Jim Bakker selling wares on late night TV.
Trump did SOMETHING to get himself where he is, even it was just plain luck. I would venture to guess most would call what he has successful if it weren’t for the fact it is Trump.
So we agree. A chimp couldn’t be where Trump is and never will be.
Trump, not the dozen other candidates in 2016, rode the machine to victory. You admit it was Trump that succeeded where others failed.
But again, you are focusing on the process by which he got there. This isn’t about that. This is about the fact HE IS THERE. Trump can act with impunity. He lives a life of luxury. Whatever method got him there, he is there. And every move he makes, no matter how dumb the rest of us think it is, does not seem to be bringing him down. He has a powerful shield around him in Mitch and Barr and a weak speaker in Pelosi who doesn’t have the fortitude to do anything about him.
You can keep waiting for his next action or next step to bring him down. But nothing so far has done that and it is looking less and less likely to do so. He can do what he wants. He knows it. You can’t deny that, no matter how he got there.
So… Instead of finding which kids are “pawns” (hint - 0.06 percent of 76,000 families), and helping them, your solution is to toss ALL of the kids into cages.
Sounds like a plan that Trumpistas would love. Actually, it sounds like something a fucking sadist would love.
