If you had the humanity you claim to have you'd be calling out do-nothing posers like Shumer and a fully corrupt DNC.

He was not reaching out in an outpouring of compassion. It was a stunt. Are we going to give a label to the families of people killed by criminals who happened to be members any other demographic and then trot them out on stage every week?
What valid purpose would that have?
Next week we could have the families of people killed by black criminals. The week after, the families of people killed by white criminals. And the week after that, the families of people killed by gays and the following week, the families of people killed by Hindus, plumbers, pipe fitters, IT managers, Elks Lodge members.
There's a reason that it was this group. There's also a reason that the handpicked people on stage had disproportionately Hispanic surnames and that one was a legal immigrant — to sugarcoat the vileness of what it really was.

A politician taking advantage of a situation to push his position?
Never heard that one before.
So then what is your opinion on photos being used from 2014, and a little girl on TIME magazine (that was never separated from her mother as it turns out), and a photo of a kid caged in a protest being used to paint this as solely on Trump? Seems like a perfect response to me.

So you admit that your threads are created to solely bash Trump and his supporters.
Try harder to find REAL dirt. Keep hope alive!

The pictures from 2014: what a #ing idiot. But I'm not going to shy away from what's in them nor am I somehow dismissive of the ACLU report on abuse and kids ended up being turned over to human traffickers found in documents from 2009-2014.
Those should be investigated and people should be held to account. And clearly, we need better oversight.

I said pretty much everything I had to say in the thread about it earlier. The photographer didn't claim anything about the image. I get that some people are crying foul but it is what it is with that particular image. It's the most associated with the family separation issue. There's no photos to be had of separations though because it takes place in places where there are no photographers to witness it.
That doesn't in any way diminish the reality of the situation.
As I've said before, Trump didn't create illegal immigration. He's clearly not on the hook for the federal government before he was inaugurated. Obama has to take the blame for what happened on his watch.
None of that justifies Trump's demagoguery on illegal immigrants or excuses what's going on with CBP/DHS/ICE/etc on his watch.
The issue you take is with Donald Trump. That's it. That's your issue.
You exploit illegals to promote fear and hatred as a justification to continue doing nothing else.

You're either having a meltdown or trolling. You used to sound intelligent. Now you sound like you are part of the desperate deep state that becomes one step closer to irrelevance each day.
