How was I "Trumped"? I am talking about this:

I could care less about immigration or the dumb wall or any of that. I want more immigration and don't like families being separated.


I was talking about "A", then you quoted my post and talked about "B", which had nothing to do with "A".

I specifically mentioned in my post that parents and children are being separated when they arrive at the border under the new policy ("Zero Tolerance").

Quote:
In the past, people caught crossing the border illegally were simply returned to Mexico after pleading guilty and being briefly detailed. Under the new policy of "zero tolerance," Sessions said the goal is for "100 percent" of all illegal border crossers to be referred by DHS to federal prosecutors and charged with "improper entry by an alien," facing up to six months in prison. Families who are caught will be separated, with children sent to juvenile facilities.

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/07/609225537/sessions-says-zero-tolerance-for-illegal-border-crossers-vows-to-divide-families

Before the Trump administration, immigrants entering illegally as families were rarely prosecuted, said Sarah Pierce, an associate policy analyst of the U.S. Immigration Program at the Migration Policy Institute. Instead, immigrants were held in family detention centers until they were sent to appear before an immigration court or deported.

This clown is now saying he regrets hiring Jeff Sessions.

Can he just fucking resign already?

So the White House will have an obnoxious and overexposed fake tabloid trash reality TV celebrity that was born with a silver spoon in their mouth and has absolutely zero actual skills and no real reason for being famous.

And also Kim Kardashian.

Looks like Tarriffs are coming at our most loyal trading partners. Ironically Trump is more of an enemy to the free market than most Democrats

A new Harvard study estimates that nearly 5,000 people died in Puerto Rico due to Hurricane Maria - a much larger number than the official government death toll of 64.

Depends on how one defines cause here. I am sure the Feds will only define a death caused by the hurricane if it occurred tmdurung the actual storm, whereas the Harvard study will include any deaths caused by the consequences of the storm. The Feds will then argue that any deaths due to consequences are more so to blame if the island’s weak infrastructure and it is inconsequential that these were exposed due to a hurricane.

The official count, in general, should include "indirect" deaths. Hurricane Katrina's toll included both "direct" and "indirect" deaths. This makes Puerto Rico's low count look fishy.

Quote:
CNN surveyed funeral homes after the storm and tallied 499 hurricane-related deaths. The New York Times compared official death records from September and October 2017 and identified more than 1,000 excess deaths, compared with the average for 2015 and 2016. Alexis Santos, a researcher at Penn State University, and a colleague, used death certificates to come up with a similar estimate.

The government of Puerto Rico commissioned researchers from George Washington University's Milken Institute School of Public Health to estimate excess deaths. Results of that study have been delayed and are due out this summer.

Trump's premature characterization of the impact of Hurricane Maria (comments like "proud of the low number of deaths" and "avoiding a real catastrophe like Katrina") was at the very least not helpful.

His constant emphasis on the "good" news (excellent rescue job!) and downplaying of the severity of the damage were disingenuous.

The media's focus on Trump's comments instead of spending more time reporting on the victims and the damages was substandard journalism.

So we all agree the right would be savaging Obama if he treated Kim the way Trump is, right? And I put myself on the right, but not a Trump lickspittle.

Um he is by the never trump bots.

But we can also AGREE that if Obama had accomplished this signature signing the mentally ill left would be salivating at Obama getting a SECOND Noble Peace Prize.

please...

Except Trump isn't "bridging the gap" he's giving aid to North Korea while alienating South Korea and the rest of our allies.

This is like saying, "Well, yes, he purposely burned down the house but look! He saved a puppy."

What gap did he bridge? If Obama did this exact same thing, we'd call him an idiot. Because literally nothing was accomplished, besides a photo op.

The G7 photo, which most of you have probably already seen, really sums up recent events. No captions needed.

Sarah H Sanders essentially just said that they're separating immigrant families on purpose until "democrats fix immigration laws".

So... they're holding children hostage. In camps.

But sure, Trump isn't a fascist.

Isn't it amazing how, while they hold both Houses of Congress and the Presidency, they can still say it's all the Democrat's fault and their idiotic followers believe them?

Isn't it funny when the Diety had a filibuster proof Senate the radicals didn't just amnesty whomever they wanted at that time? Maybe it was because even they couldn't get all their members to agree to pass it and just because the fake republicans hold 1 vote majority in the Senate that doesn't mean they actually control the Senate. They don't. We all know it.

As far as these children...don't want them separated then don't cross the border illegally while dragging your kids with you. Illegal is illegal is illegal. For some reason radicals ignore that concept when it comes to folks crossing the southern border illegally. It baffles me.

And no Trump is not a fascist. #calmdown

If someone crosses with children, and it appears trafficking is going on, should those children be separated?

In a non-trafficking scenario and the parent is detained, is it better to toss kids into the same detention center as the parents to prevent separation?

This is his frequent deceitful tactic. Democrats gave us the "law" that separates families, "13 Angry Democrats" in charge of the "Russian witch hunt", Obama wiretaps Trump Tower, "millions of illegal voters" in California, "Mexican judge who hates me"... If you repeat the lies enough of times, they will become the "truth" to many unsuspecting ears.

The media treat these false claims as if they have some merits, repeating them in the headlines but not stating the facts first while doing it. They seldom call out these lies in his face. Days of politics are wasted circling around and emboldening false claims.

It's funny that you think they're separating children from illegal border crossers.

Also, border crossing is a misdemeanor.
