Imagine thinking it crazy that we handle asylum seekers with even a modicum of empathy instead of tossing them into cages for weeks on end and then blatantly lying about the state of their confinement.

Texas Republican Will Hurd to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour: “Those tweets are racist, and xenophobic… It’s also behavior that’s unbecoming of the leader of the free world. He should be talking about things that unite, not divide us.”

No, I’m a realist. I never expect people to relinquish power. I was just telling you how Marx said it would go down. And like I said earlier it all works on paper but falls apart when it hits the real world. And remember that Fair Tax thing that was all the rage a few years ago? Same thing would happen to that if it was ever implemented in real life.

And hey… if he has to go full bore “Go back to your Country” racist in order to do that… its all politics when playing eleventy dimensional chess.

Imagine enforcing laws in a manner that wasn’t specifically designed to make the lives of already poor, desperate people even more horrible. Imagine pretending that we’ve never had this many people being detained before when we definitely have. Imagine anyone, for any reason, attempting to justify stripping toddlers from their parents for weeks or months on end in the name of deterrence.

Imagine a Republican party rotting in the midday sun.

I don’t think it was racist. The left, the media, and some who don’t know what racism is want it to be racist, but it wasn’t.

Finish the quote.

Here, I’ll do it.

Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how…

We would have less Russians here creating anchor babies?

Melania wouldnt have been able to bring her family over?

We would stop a lot of drugs coming through legal points of entry?

Trump wouldnt be able to have workers at his hotels?

We would have a work shortage on farms( we do)?

We do enforce our laws but there is such a back log because we dont have enough judges that the system is swamped?

I’m just spitballing here for you…

I find myself many times, now that Donald Trump has taken over the Republican party and crushed conservatism, wondering what people like Ronald and Nancy Reagan would say about current presidential comments. Or how Bob Dole would react to North Korea. How Barry Goldwater would view our debt and church influence. How Abraham Lincoln would view profiting from the presidency. How Teddy Roosevelt would feel about the influence of the media.

It’s really interesting stuff.

What racist about em?

If some German blue eyes blonde hair immigrant came here and a bashed our country…wouldn’t we say the same thing?

Well, actually GOP Rep. Will Hurd spoke up: https://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1150799800813703169

Just saw in passing that Pelosi is putting out a resolution condemning the Trump Tweets. Trying to call people to the carpet, obviously. We’ll see how that goes.

That doesnt change anything…

Trump achieved what he wanted to do, the entire media, democrats all rallied around the 4 crazies.

As I said they’re the future…and future is now. It’s their time.

They are Americans.
