I just think that its time I post my daily reminder that children are being confiscated at the border daily as the Trump Administration does its damnedest to obfuscate it.

Sort of puts "Redsox is annoying" into perspective.

Just want to point out other things that were legal at the time:

Slavery
Capturing and returning escaped slaves
Separating slave parents and children
Japanese internment

Also want to point out that every one of those "legal at the time" items is absolutely monstrous, and I don't give a flying fuck about dehumanizing those who perpetuated the inhumane and monstrous laws or those who abided by them.

If you cannot condemn the action of separating families and keeping them in fucking cages, you are no better than those who are committing the actions. Fuck Trump. Fuck Sessions. Fuck every motherfucker in this administration and everyone in ICE.

A poll came out today that Kim Jong Un is already more popular than Nancy Pelosi with Republicans. I feel like, Iran could probably get a sweet deal where we drop all sanctions and pay them double what Obama did, if they start denouncing Hillary Clinton.

Tucker Carlson slamming media/politicians on immigration crisis claiming, "No matter what they tell you this isn't about helping children .... They're goal is to change your country forever."


*their, first of all

It really is amazing how Tucker can say shit like this straight from the Nazi playbook but still be counted as a strong conservative voice.

The White House said Monday evening that if China goes through with its promise to retaliate against the US tariffs announced last week, the United States will impose tariffs on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese goods.

Sessions is arguing on state media that they're not like Nazis because they're trying to keep people out instead of in.

https://twitter.com/briantashman/status/1008899577309814785
Sessions says this is not like Nazi Germany "because in Nazi Germany, they were keeping the Jews from leaving the country!" https://t.co/v2BiWN8aXj

Will you apologize for enforcing a policy that amounts to torture? https://t.co/277eVwQVKG
We will not apologize for enforcing the laws passed by Congress. We are a nation of laws. We are asking Congress to change the laws.

Even I wouldnt go so far as to say this specific policy is like Nazi Germany. We are being exceptionally cruel, but we arent committing genocide.

This is intentionally damning with faint praise. Not quite Nazi bad is not something to celebrate.

Democrats are the problem. They dont care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they may be, to pour into and infest our Country, like MS-13. They cant win on their terrible policies, so they view them as potential voters!


Infest

Okay its getting more Nazi bad

Crime in Germany is up 10% plus (officials do not want to report these crimes) since migrants were accepted. Others countries are even worse. Be smart America!


Germany is hiding migrant crimes is straight up alt-right propaganda. Thats where that idea comes from.

I mean, he used the same logic countless times during the campaign, any time a statistic came in that he didn't like. Remember the whole bit about "the REAL unemployment rate"?

The fact that the unemployment rate statistic counts long-term unemployed as not seeking work and therefore not part of the denominator is a huge flaw in the stat. It is ironic that now that he's in office, Trump regularly cites the same statistic.

Turned out their hottest topic was a big argument over the rapper XXXTentacion that died over whether he was scum because hes black, or whether he was cool because he was a misogynist and homophobe.
