Discussion: Trump Indicates That Family Separations Are Deterrent For Illegal Immigration

I know the deterrent for another Trump too. But I’d be banned for life if I described it.
The general idea is you jump passed all the war and terror and destruction and go right to the ending where street lamps serve nicely. The National Mall is lined with street lamps. Hopefully, soon, also producing strange fruit.

It seems that Mr. Trump’s midterm strategy is to go full-out demagogue. He is rapidly ratcheting up the lies, hate and divisiveness. I’m increasingly worried that Mr. Trump is prepared to start a civil war (With Russia’s help…) to save his own skin.

These people go into harm’s way. There is nobody under greater danger
than the people from ICE. What they do to MS-13, and everything else.

Please edumacate us. Tell us of all the ICE agents that have been injured or killed by MS-13. We’ll wait.

Industrialized cruelty and crimes against humanity at the hands of our government. Trump is our Slobodan Milošević.

With who? How does that work? This is alarmist and helps nobody.

Damn right. My coworker’s sign for the Rally to Reunite Families read: “Hey Don, How About Zero Tolerance for Russian Collusion?”

He’s definitely going full-out demagogue. Someone needs to step up and prick that hot air balloon and soon.

The Court should demand that the Secretaries of DHS and HHS appear in person and justify the failure to comply.

And some Americans are a deterrent to legal immigration as well as American citizens from coming here from U.S. territories. I’m guessing this guy was drunk but still WTF? Especially as the woman points out the cop just stands there.

How does that work? ‘Any charges brought against me by the Mueller investigation are the work of the corrupt HRC-loving Deep State and the Fake News Media who are trying to take our country away from us.’ Some rhetorical flourishes* in my comment, perhaps, but given what Mr. Trump has already shown that he is prepared to do, do you feel totally safe in calling me “alarmist”?

  • By Russia’s help I meant through encouraging or turning a blind eye to their interference and disinformation campaigns.

Now, that sounds mighty ridiculous.

On the otherhand, on Take Your Child To Work day, Trumpians separated the kids from the reporters for the White House tour.

After the tour, they did give them back, but just saying, if I was a reporter I am not sure I would let my kid participate in “Take Your Child to Work” day at the Trumpian White House henceforth, being an “enemy of the people” so to speak.

I was responding to the “start a civil war” part. If that’s a flourish, whatever. Also, the majority will hear what he says for what it is - bullshit.

“I have a solution: Tell people not to come to our county illegally. That’s the solution,”

Uh, no that’s not a solution to repairing the damage that you did to these families.
But it’s hardly surprising that this soulless SOB would make this callous remark.

trump’s a deeply damaged individual. He says the first thing that feels good, then continues saying it again and again and again as long as it gives his ego addiction its fix.

“ridiculous” is a moot adjective in present day United States.

At one time, I would have been as polite as she was. At this point, I may have gotten arrested.

Edit: I reply to the wrong post. It was meant for the one above.
