Obviously, an adult got through to Donny.

He doesn’t want to distract from the upcoming Mueller testimony.

It’s just a narrative to virtue signal so they can feel good about themselves and distract from the actual issues.

how many people should be granted asylum and what is a “good” reason? You won’t hear any responses. Just “racist!” because I’m unwilling to let every single person in who wants to walk across.

But yeah these rude types of comments here daily are more insulting and racist then anything Trump has ever said.

Trump, meanwhile, was busy tweeting about the self-described "squad" of Democratic congresswomen, calling their views on immigration "So bad for our Country!"

What's bad for the US is caging kids and assaulting refugees.

"They're trying to use cruelty as a deterrent and tough talk as a deterrent. And so this was, 'Let's get a headline that says we're stopping asylum,'" Sharry said.

Or in other words, it's all just a big con-job...just like everything this administration does...

And should we be surprised? That's all this imbecile has any expertise in - well, besides grabbing and sexually assaulting women.

When will his supporters wake up and realize they've been scammed by Trump and Putin...

plus Obama built the cages as date stamped pics exist from 2014. we’ve been over this.

And Obama kick started the economic growth in the US.

But he's not PotUS anymore. This is an actual crime against humanity, what's going on.

@Toasted Heretic,

Im curious, where was your righteous indignation when Obama was running the same operation?

I wasn't posting here at the time and if I had known about it (because it hadn't gone viral at that stage) I would have been equally vehement in my condemnation of the practice.

It's barbaric. Doesn't matter which idiot is in the White House.

Everyone knows this is all about keeping America white. 

Never underestimate the cruelty of a fascist government..... One day, they'll consume you too, trumpsters.

how many people should be granted asylum

All that are eligible.

and what is a “good” reason?

Fear of death if they return home.

Obama was not "running the same operation". This is a drastic policy change. Brought about by people who dislike certain racial or ethnic groups.

--Trump on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "I don't have time to go with three different names. We'll call her Cortez. Too much time. Takes too much time."

Or the deportations coming.

For the life of me, where do you get this stuff? Makes no sense? If you go by that then all of the tech world CEOs are white and liberal, they donate to Democrats always, but maybe they want to keep America white as well.

Never underestimate the cruelty of a fascist government.....

This is why the Democrats will never retake the WH, fascism is the last thing we need.

One day, they'll consume you too, trumpster

Come again?

Probably when people read stuff like

Or the deportations coming.

Kind of a giveaway.

What you have, currently, are dry runs for fascism. It pains me that you are in denial about what Trump is doing to your country.

The following proposals from AOC are not fascism. They are aimed at improving the lives of Americans:

Medicare for All

A Living Wage & Labor Rights

K-16 schooling, aka Public Colleges

100% Renewable Energy

Fixing the pipes in Flint

Not Hurting Immigrants

Holding Wall Street Accountable

Come again?

Try reading Pastor Niemoller's poem.

I agree. But why are Trump supporters pushing for him to have greater powers? The executive uber alles is fundamental to fascism.

@bas4  If you go by that then all of the tech world CEOs are white

All? Source?

Call her Cortez. Why not?

Sorry, liberals have been on a fascist nightmarish jihad since 2009

It pains me that you are in denial about what Trump is doing to your country.

Don’t millions of us are happy now....really!

The following proposals from AOC are not fascism. 

They are because no one wants any of her crappy policies, not even the obstructionist Democrats. Case in point: The Green new Deal, none of the Democrats voted for another crap legislation.

They are aimed at improving the lives of Americans:

Seeing how the liberal progressive policies have failed miserably, I would say not.

Medicare for All

Will never happen.

A Living Wage & Labor Rights

I agree, but don’t complain when you bill goes up 10% and they start charging you for water.

K-16 schooling, aka Public Colleges

Free? Will never happen, more people are doing home schooling, more and. Ore Americans are getting tired of our public schools being a one sided, activism, indoctrination cabal.

100% Renewable Energy

As long as it’s done through the private sector industry, go for it.

Fixing the pipes in Flint

Definitely! Agreed!

Not Hurting Immigrants

And not allowing illegals to come in freely, fortify our borders and have harsher and stricter penalties for anyone crossing into the country illegally.

Holding Wall Street Accountable

Not really sure what that means....

Too little, too late. Trump will lose next year's presidential election

As long as these socialists are planning to give freebies and exchanging the old Glory with the hammer and sickle, he’ll slide effortlessly into a second term.

The lack of trust in this new coalition is deep and pervasive. Democrats want no advice from the people who could not stop Trump from taking over the GOP. Meanwhile, the Never Trumpers, of whom I am a charter member, fear that the Democrats and their unruly coalition are going to lurch to the left, lose the Electoral College again, and hand Trump a second term while the Democratic nominee claims another victory as the imperial regent of the Pacific Coast Empire.

Exactly.

Watch the predictions, Bass.

Not your strong point.

Socialist. Socialism. Freebies. Entitlements. Wealth distribution. Hammer & Sickle. Fascism. Fascist. Progressive. Universal healthcare.

Nothing misused or misguided in California all of these are used except they go by different euphemisms sounds more palatable to the human ear.

Watch the predictions, Bass. 

Always do.

Not your strong point

Disagree, every trap the socialists laid to snare Trump backfired as well as none of these 23...lost count candidates can beat Trump. Lol

Good luck to them all.

Watch the predictions, Bass. 

Always do.

Me too. They are usually a good guide to what will not happen.

Are you sticking by your prediction that the democrats will never take the White House again or was that just an ill-thought through partisan comment?

I agree, but don’t complain when you bill goes up 10% and they start charging you for water.

Only a monster tips 10% or less in America today.

Hey bass, this is YET ANOTHER example of why you should ACTUALLY READ THE THINGS YOU POST. You posted a link to something with the headline of restaurant closures in Seattle, hoping to imply that higher wages for workers results in restaurants closing. Except this very line is in the article you posted:

 (Oh, and when it comes to citywide minimum wage increases: “That’s not it,” one bigtime restaurateur says. “We’re paying [workers] more than that already.”)

Oops! Better luck next time, chief!
