That was an example of why we need to get the emotions in check before this gets worse. For example, an Antifa sect tweeted out a list of ICE agents names and locations this morning. We are teetering on the verge of something really bad here.

It's the only defense they have.

"Look at what Peter Fonda said - what a dumb liberal!"

Like anybody gives a shit.


Meanwhile, the president is tweeting garbage every 15 minutes like a petulant teenage girl.
There will absolutely be many people who give more of a shit about a celebrity's tweet than what's happening on these kids.

What do you think happens when the first ICE/CBP agent is killed over this? Do you think the reaction will be "oh, well, we shouldn't have put those kids into cages in the first place" or... based on the history of the last 20 years... maybe something else? Call your representatives now. I did yesterday. We as a society need to be active in stopping the separations and this spiral into chaos right now.

Roseanne agrees.

This... So many blind followers don't realize this point because it doesn't directly affect them.

Republican Representatives gleefully applauding the president while agreeing en mass to embrace his insistence that this can only be fixed via legislation....essentially accepting his deflection of blame for a universally despised administrative act ON TO THEM...and then hunkering down to play along with the legislative hostage situation is....remarkable.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Welp... He may get his wall, after all.

This akin to hostage negotiations now.

Step one: ignore the Democrat-drafted single item bill to end separations.

Step two: introduce your own bills filled with additional Republican agenda items you know Democrats oppose.

Step three: denounce Democrats as not really caring about the kids because they oppose your bill, say they only want to use the kids to get votes. Refuse to consider any bill that doesn’t pay your ransom, and blame the people who won’t pay your ransom for the consequences of your hostage-taking.

Step four: McParadigm definitely has to read some idiot on a message board repeat some of your claims before it’s all over.

That's how the red team has worked for a while. Uninsured children, shutdowns, etc. They have little more ground left anymore and if they don't step up here, it's gone for good.

No, the past two years were littered with examples of why we needed to get the emotions out of immigration issues. Constant fear mongering has reached a level in which the discussion of people in cages has such little impact on a basic humanity/civility level that people think bringing up a celebrities tweet can deflect the issue.

This guy. Besides being an obvious piece of shit who is complaining now because his "opinion" has astonishingly "screwed" his career, all these bands he names in his bio sound like fake band names created for some terrible TV series.
According to a biography posted on McCain's personal website, he recalls that "growing up the son of a southern Baptist preacher I heard a lot of gospel tunes." The bio goes on to state that he has been in a number of bands including "Diamondback, Hail Mary, Young Geezer, Lords of Porn, 4th and One, Voodoo Jones and Hunting Delilah."

Do people realize that this idea that illegals commit all sorts of crimes is actually total horseshit that isn't based on any facts? The complete opposite is probably true.

The one study that conservatives point to was done by a gun nut and trickle-down economist that was rejected by pretty much everybody, including the Cato Institute.
