THAT'S the scary thing. Say what you will about the Maga meatheads but they come out and they vote. The Dems need a strong unifying candidate and they need a real platform to run off of, not just "Trump/GOP are evil!!". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump in 2016 was anything but a unifying candidate, but all of the R's got behind him because he wasn't Hillary. I think the same thing will happen in reverse. Dems hate Trump at least as much as GOPers hate Hillary, and most independents also hate Trump. So I think "Trump/GOP are evil" is going to be a really strong message, and polling supports this. The only question is whether the Bernie wing will get behind anyone that isn't Bernie and actually turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any proposed border security funding, to make it through the house, will contain a clause stating that none of this money may be spent until the government provides an itemized list of every single child separated from his family by the government, where every one of said people are now, and every step they went through in between. And will make monthly reports to Congress, updating said data. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llevron Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It bothers me alot to see this guy grandstand about how many kids he has adopted and exclaim about how political games should stop.....RIGHT after he goes on a diatribe about how the pictures are from 2014 and how the policy hasnt changed......knowing full well that is itself a political game because no one gives a **** about the pictures. The problem is all the missing kids, which he says when making his argument but forgets when dissecting the oppositions. I mean, wtf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would throw in that each kid has to be reunited with the family also. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the RARE chance this administration can find all the kids and figure out which adult they were taken from, a simple interview of the child should be able to determine if the person is the proper caregiver. For kids too young for that, a DNA test. For the few that can't be determined by those two tests, I'm sure we can figure something else out. Or we could start with putting burden on the government to show why they suspect a person isn't the rightful caregiver. The would take care of the majority of the cases. You think this administration gives a crap about what brown kid goes to what brown person? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The fact that this is a conundrum at all is deeply shameful. I'm with @TheGreatBuzz. We ought to do everything humanly possible to rectify this disaster of our own making and intent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Rep. MarkWayne Mullin from Oklahoma is a dumb**** and a piece of ****. Actual real life human being children taken from their families for being brown. People actually defending intentional and unnecessary orphaning because Donald Trump is pretending to be a Republican. 1 hour ago, twa said: What about the ones we don't know if it was family or not?

Neither he, nor any of this policy's enablers, cares about it. It's something they pulled out of their Philly's so that they could 1) Delay complying with court orders to return kidnapped children. And 2) Build a DNA database that they can use later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reconsider what? If I'm ok with atrocities being committed against children? If I should jump on the "I don't want the government running my life so I let the political party who pretends to stand for that do absolutely all of my thinking for me" dumbassery bandwagon of the modern day GOP?
