  1. Pretty sure people give a shit about kids in cages. It just wasn't happening as widespread as it is now with Trump's "zero-tolerance" policy. Go look up the actual statistics of split up families and you'll see it very rarely happened under Obama whereas Trump basically made it generic policy that border patrol MUST separate the kids and detain them.

  2. Yeah they were all awful, but Trump's "zero-tolerance" policy signed only a few months ago is far worse than anything. http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2018/jun/19/matt-schlapp/no-donald-trumps-separation-immigrant-families-was/

  3. Jimmy I don't know why you're being intentionally untruthful in your representation of this comparison. The comparison between Trump and Obama's policies on "separating families" are so far apart from one another, it's kinda ridiculous you're even trying to draw huge conclusions like this. It's important to note that families were sometimes separated by border patrol under Obama's term RARELY, but I don't know why you willfully ignore that Trumps "zero-tolerance" policy WAS the feature, not the bug. Obama's immigration definitely had huge problems, but Trump's is intentionally malicious. http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2018/jun/19/matt-schlapp/no-donald-trumps-separation-immigrant-families-was/ I enjoy your videos Jimmy, but you sometimes intentionally mislead your viewers just to fit your own agenda. It's infuriating when you do this, because you're claiming to be the one that unmasks the lies of the establishment.

  4. Trump is bombing 8 countries and perpetuating a genocide in Yemen. I don't think anyone needs to blame him for anything else other than that.

  5. Let's all be intellectually honest with ourselves here and understand that Trump is Obama on a quadruple dosage of steroids. I don't know why Jimmy isn't making a comparison in full context, but clearly Trump's "zero-tolerance" policy, that Jeff Sessions only passed a few months ago, has "separating families" as the feature, not the bug. It's now US generic policy to separate families, whereas under Obama it was something that happened rarely and split families were reunited quickly compared to this new policy. In addition, Trump has continued Obama's drone strikes, but he has caused things to be 5x worse with killing nearly 5x more innocent civilians on average than Obama had. They're both bad, but everyone needs to understand, including Jimmy, that factually and statistically Trump is Obama on roids and doesn't even give a shit to even act decent or even slightly truthful about the fucked up shit he passes as executive orders.

  6. +The Jimmy Dore Show - I don't mind your reporting on this, my issue is that you are making an out-of-context false equivalency about immigration under Trump vs immigration under Obama. Obama's policy was massively flawed and wrong, nobody is debating that, but to say that Trump's is just a continuation is a massive understatement. Trump's "zero-tolerance" policy, which is only a few months old has the generic policy being that border patrol must separate the families, detain children and infants, and use it as the feature of a highly malicious system using fear as a tool, not the bug of a massively flawed system. Trump has made things far worse, and even though he didn't create ICE, he was the one that gave them unconstitutional power to basically raid homes without warrants, snatch kids from schools and hospital, and now has given them powers to utilize NSA Surveillance for the silly task of deporting illegals that live in squalor and hold jobs that make minimum wage or less as if they are a threat to national security. This is not the only instance where you have been unable or unwilling to make a truthful equivalencies between Trump and what went on beforehand. It is totally fine to point out that Trump is just a continuation of the establishment Democrat before him and continues his drone strike program, but then you completely ignore the fact that, under Trump, nearly 5 times more innocent civilians are dying at an average rate than under Obama. Trump is also perpetuating a genocide in Yemen with launching more coalition drone strikes and bombings in Yemen alone in 2017 than Obama had launched in his entire last 4 years of office combined. I don't know why you can't simply point out these facts, but I figure it is because you have an agenda you are trying to narrate and omit things and tip toe around the issue of Trump just to do so. I do not respect this type of journalism and I wish you would put things in full context and criticize the entire establishment instead of just the minority party in all branches of government right now. The Republicans ARE literally the establishment, yet you never want to give valid criticism to either Trump or the GOP and even somehow make the crazy issue of Trump's "zero-tolerance" policy caging children and infants as something to fling back at Obama and always rewind to two years ago.
