It isn’t all that divisive. If Trump wants a comprehensive plan that will pass he will include DACA. Not including it means he is only looking for political red meat.

“Everyone knows your favorite President is all about inspiring and promoting unity,” she continued. “In fact, White House staffers can be regularly heard singing endless choruses of “Kumbaya” with the Commander in Chief, who has a great singing voice by the way.”

Since when has something being divisive stopped the Trump Administration? It wasn’t divisive (and cruel, unconscionable, etc.) to separate children from their parents as an immigration deterrent?

The press secretary said that DACA protection “seems to divide people very quickly

Sure, sure, it’s DACA that’s divisive.

Not her racist, demagogue boss – who vilifies Mexicans as rapists, drug dealers, and criminals.

While whipping Fox-sucklings into perpetual frenzies over “caravans” coming to destroy America.

By simultaneously stealing their jobs and sitting around doing nothing while collecting government benefits.

(Or something.)

John Bolton is a divisive thing; Shara Huckabee Sanders is a divisive thing; Donald Trump (and his family) is a divisive thing yet they all continue to be involved in policy… hypocrites!

White supremacy is divisive. That’s why the White House refused to sign on to the Christchurch Call, an international effort to curb online white supremacy. Too divisive. If only people wouldn’t get so worked up about it Trump would be willing to combat it.

They both graduated Wharton. They’d show us the transcripts, but they refuse to be willing victims of a witch hunt. And Wharton has a letter from their lawyers requiring a “no comment” response or they’ll get their asses sued off.

I might argue that for a government that acts in good faith, dealing with divisive things is about 95 percent of the job.

So consistent. I mean, Trump is known, bigly, for avoiding divisive subjects. People say it all the time.

LOL!

Dems want something, the absence of it or something like it being a non-starter. GOPers don’t like it and consider it’s inclusion a non-starter. It causes arguments and the GOP doesn’t want to compromise.

Ergo, the solution is that the GOP gets its way?

Fucking kkklowns.
