For the most part, these are the same people that were working there doing the exact same job in 2014. They don't view themselves as doing anything wrong because they have seen enough of the bad shit that cause Obama to implement this policy during his term. The only difference is the volume of cases come in. The administration gave an order to reunite the families with the kids but there is quite clearly a bottleneck is in this process. We don't have the infrastructure to house all these people and definitely don't have enough case workers able to get them through the system. Sessions started this DNA solution but that's not exactly a quick solution. I don't think anyone wants kids separated from their actual parents and that's not what this policy was designed to do. What it's supposed to do is to stop kids being tortured by actual bad guys. Obama's policy was catch and release because we don't have the infrastructure in place to stop the bad guys. So his policy was to just let them through and let the local PD handle it. Trump wants to stop them from entering in the first place but is having to settle for this hybrid system that basically forces the US to house these people until they get to see a judge. So the real debate is how we stop kids that are crossing the border illegally from being tortured without them ending up in cages in the process. It's a problem and I don't think you can solve both by just blaming the other side.

If the shoe fits

Is it something I said? You have spent your entire daily rep on me 3 times now. Try the ignore button.

So Trump's executive order made the situation worse and the masses have a long attention span. The general public is not satisfied with the response and we have unlimited resources to deal with it. Releasing pictures of Obama era holding cells that had children on floors in cages made Obama look great and Trump look bad. Dems in red states need to act more liberal because it will get them more votes. You can cry wolf/Nazi as much as you want and people will listen to you more and start viewing you as a trusted sources of analysis. Better David D?

Trump's executive order did a lot to diffuse that situation and the masses have a short attention span. Like it or not, at this point the general public is satisfied with the response and know there are limited resources to deal with this. Releasing those photos of Obama era holding cells really undermined the attacks on the administration. The real risk is having Dems that are up for election in red states vote against Kavanaugh. It puts those seats at risk for the Dems. You can only cry wolf/Nazi so many times before people just tune you out and start to view you as hysterical.

It's not that simple.

Wolf! Wolf!

I'm looking forward to the announcers mixing in Ronaldo to Juventus references every time they are talking about Juventus or Real Madrid players.

Keep in mind, the pick hasn't been made yet...

I agree that the graphic is stupid. I mean, why do they have 2 degrees of separation between Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka? (insert joke here)

One thing is for certian.. Everyone hates the pick. Even though it hasn't even been made yet.

I agree.. Too many unrelated events and people have this pointing the same direction.

It's not my graphic so I can't take credit. It's a graphic that New York Magazine published to help readers understand the thesis alleging a Trump-Putin plot that originated in 1987. They didn't want to add too much detail or it could confuse the reader.

You guys are nuts

Would be kind of redundant at this point.

What was Kagan's experience as a justice? Zero... This move would also put 4 Supreme Court Justices as women. Trump should absolutely do it. She adopted 2 kids from Haiti. 3-5 is pretty normal for a Catholic family.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find a 6 degree of Kevin bacon/Russia to help you get over your surprise.

It shouldn't be like that but that's the world we live in. Correct me if i'm wrong but it does narrow the avenues of criticism for the nominee.

Belgium vs England would be my personal preference.

Amy Coney Barrett is the hardest person for the left to attack so i'd put money on her being the pick. Can't say she is sexist.. Can't call her racist (adopted 2 kids from Haiti). Religion can't be used as a basis for discriminating against her. Non-stop bashing of Catholics is probably not the best way to keep hispanics happy going into midterms.

Mexico elected a President who will cease using the military against cartels and will give amnesty to Opium and Marijuana growers... The socialist thing is unfortunate, but I think that's only part of the problem.

As long as the SCOTUS judge is fair and not legislating from the bench we really don't have a problem on our hands regardless of political affiliation. Congress passes the laws, President signs them. SCOTUS can rule unconstitutional but both other branches can pass amendments to the constitution and the SCOTUS has to deal with it. Judges just need to stay in their fucking lanes and do their jobs.
