Do establishment Democrats still think Republicans will compromise with them? No one can be that dense. The so-called compromises are where GOP gets 90% of what they want (minus 1-2 social issues), Dems surrender and the donors get 100% of what they want. #Washington https://t.co/Yar23cxy44
It isn’t easy for a man to rip a screaming child away from his mother. Most of us couldn’t do it. This is where “animals” comes in. Declare he isn’t really a child, she isn’t a woman. Now it’s like pulling a piglet from a sow. This has always been how states enable savagery.
What does it even mean to work in a “bipartisan“ way for healthcare? It sounds like code word for “we’re not going to do anything.” Unless there are real progressives like @HartsonForCA pushing the Dems they’ll wait for permission from Republicans to do anything. https://t.co/rYwBnCtlTB
I’m sorry it’s ever so contentious out here & there’s no common ground & we can’t just all be Americans. But see, we’ve never actually had a guy that doesn’t give a fuck about the country or the people in it serve as our president before, see? So it’s real different #MAGA#Trump
“If you are smuggling a child then we will prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you as required by law,” -Jeff Sessions.
The separation of families is NOT according to law, but policy.
As a result, 1,500 children are lost, likely to Human trafficking.
THREAD.
Inhumane as this may sound, it’s nothing compared with what these people are *actually* doing: forcibly separating children from their parents, as required by *no* law, when those parents aren’t smuggling anyone or anything but are just presenting themselves lawfully for entry. https://t.co/UzclLQpp23
In a shock to some observers, 33 House Democrats and 17 Senate Democrats ultimately joined with nearly every Republican to send the bill to President Trump’s desk. https://t.co/LMivvD2YXL
If you ever wonder why half the country doesn't vote and we have a game show host as president.... Thank corrupt gutless $100 millionaires like @NancyPelosi . This is @TheDemocrats#TimeForASecondParty https://t.co/7L1tzOLX6l
This country has been steadily descending into naziism since the late-90s. Every time I say this out loud someone gets up to police my words, because they think the nazis were some *other* type of creatures. The weight of the ignorance and the arrogance, is too much to bear.
Flood ICE with phone calls.
Call 1-866-DHS-2-ICE and demand an answer to #WhereAreTheChildren.
This is a government agency that we pay for. They answer to us.
Imagine having unfathomable expectations every day of your life (on & off the court) since you were 16. And somehow living up to them. https://t.co/KimHGNp27D
Trump saying a source doesn't exist that was actually an official White House background call may be the best illustration yet of the president vs the presidency.
