  1. Doesn't matter. Trump's zero tolerance policy was the cause of the children being locked up. Obama could have built 20 new prisons, but if Trump made jaywalking a felony he would still be to blame for filling those prisons. Trump's policy was so bad they decided to detain kids by renting out entire floors of hotels for kids to stay on while they guarded exists. They then expelled them as soon as they could, ignoring standard policy on minors who cross the border seeking asylum: "Federal anti-trafficking laws and a two-decade-old court settlement that governs the treatment of migrant children require that most kids be sent to the shelters for eventual placement with family sponsors. But President Donald Trump’s administration is now immediately expelling people seeking asylum in the U.S., relying on a public health declaration to set aside those rules."

  4.  @tylerstreet8614  I guess all those mandatory separations were just a coincidence then.....

  5.  @tylerstreet8614  Oh dear, looks like the dementia is kicking in, you've forgotten the last 4 years already. While you're at it explain why thousands of families were separated at the border. Oh, and look up the definition of "zero tolerance" while you're at it. Damn boomers and their short-term memory loss.

  11.  @tylerstreet8614  What narrative? That the Trump administration family separation policy enacted as a "zero tolerance" approach intended to deter illegal immigration and to encourage tougher legislation. It was officially adopted across the entire US–Mexico border from April 2018 until June 2018 and later investigations found that the practice of family separations had begun a year prior to the public announcement. This resulted in the government reporting in January 2020 that the official government number of children separated from their parents or guardians under the policy was 4,368. Also in January, the American Civil Liberties Union reported that more than 1,100 families had been separated since June 2018, the date that the administration said they would no longer separate children from their parents. So Trump officially enacted this policy, was using this policy for months before they announced it, officially ended the policy but kept doing it anyway, and separated thousands of families in the process. Do you even know what a narrative is? That's not a narrative, that's facts. Your claim that there were no mandatory separations is a joke. Families were separated. Either you support that decision or you don't. Claiming it never happened makes you look demented.

  13.  samford hikes  You know they send the parents back right? They are forcefully separated and the children are detained while the parents are sent back.

  14.  @X-Prime123  He has blue either side if you actually watched the whole speech.

  15. No, he's pointing out that there is a very real split in the Republican party, with some Republicans staying old-school and pushing to take away funding for healthcare and children's programs, while the new MAGA Republicans want to whine about losing elections and are trying to defund the FBI. These 2 groups are not the same. Just look at the election in Alaska to see the split in action.

  20. Correct. To be inclusive you have to exclude those that are exclusionary.

  22. You mean the guy that left the KKK decades before he even met Biden and openly admitted his faults, then dedicated himself to reversing the evil he saw while he was a local chapter leader? That Robert Byrd?

  23. No, they pointed out that the Russian government moved to influence the election with a propaganda campaign that helped Trump win. Hillary conceded the same day. Trump on the other hand never conceded, whined for months, and caused a riot, and even straight up sedition on Capitol Hill. They went through dozens of court cases, and he's even under investigation in Georgia for trying to get them to change the vote count. These 2 things are not the same.

  25. Always funny when MAGA, the group that has literally Nazi groups supporting them, compare themselves to the Jews in 30s Germany.

  26.  @jessepeterson3271  Not really no, because those KKK founders are all dead, and their kids support the Republicans now. 1965 was a hell of a year after all.

  28.  @jessepeterson3271  You're all over the place aren't you. Nazi vote Republican. The KKK endorse Republicans. The party didn't create the KKK, people did, and those people vote Republican. But sure, start defending tax dodgers now. Nice of you to support criminals in all their forms.

  32.  @tylerstreet8614  Enforcement changed. Trump chose to enforce it. You're an idiot.

  33.  @tylerstreet8614  I'm sorry you don't understand how laws are enforced and how policy can change based on the enforcement of those laws.

  34.  samford hikes  lol, no I'm not. That was the policy.

  35.  @albertorkenbjorken  That's not true at all. International confidence in the US increased 58 points when Biden took office, and favorability increased 28 points. The truth is, the US is far more right-wing than any of its allies, and the result is most countries favoring Democrats over Republicans. Although calling Biden left-wing would be a stretch by most metrics.

  42.  @redacted8008  Playing "no you" is sad and pathetic. One side tried to overthrow the election, the other is calling that out. Pick one.

  43.  @carlthelongshoreman1979  Because they try to overturn elections and defund social programs so they can increase the deficit, giving tax breaks to the ultra-rich.
