Politically, it gives the democrats a stronger position now. Trump looks like an asshole in public, in regards to immigration, and they have 1 week to strike a deal.
I’ll have to go back and check, but I’m pretty sure nowhere in “The Art of a Deal” does it suggest making a public dick out of yourself, with 1 week left in a tough negotiation. But maybe there’s a hidden chapter....
Bologna, you guys are too knee deep in your progressive never offend anybody shtick. I just don't believe that so many of you guys haven't done this in private.I sure as shit would've. Fuck Donald Trump and his immigration policy.
SIDENOTE:
Honestly, I don't call any place a shithole, and that comes directly from my Cleveland heritage. There are many misconceptions about our town nationally, and it's a shame that people will use it as a punchline without having even visited. I hate when someone takes someone else's home, whether it's Milwaukee or Detroit or Haiti or anywhere, and turn it into a joke. It's dismissive, it's usually ignorant, and worst of all, it's lazy. It doesn't get much less creative than poking fun at a city or a group of people while they're down.
Have I told a Detroit joke before? Yes. Have I laughed at a good joke about a city/state/country? Of course. But it'd be great if we tried to do it less in my personal opinion.
Such as...what? What "informed decision" is there to be made?
He doesn't have any obligation to Trump. The obligation would be to the country as a whole in not deliberately disseminating information that will damage our foreign relations.
Some of that type of stuff was in those Snowden documents as well - disparaging things about foreign countries/politicians that damaged the U.S. when they were made public.
Apparently, there also was a lot of that kind of stuff in the Hillary Clinton emails
So the question is -- do you think all of those things should have been released in unredacted form, so that both the American people and foreign countries could see exactly what Hillary Clinton and everyone on those email chains thought about various foreign countries, American political leaders, etc..? I mean, since you're talking about the value of making "informed decisions" about our President, shouldn't that logic have applied even more so when the country was trying to decide who would be President for the next four years?
I don't recall anyone really arguing for that.
I can't comment on this subject because I fear my head will explode.
That being said, many of you need to take a step away from this thread. It's very hard if not impossible to change people's political opinions. Trump supporters will seemingly go to no end to defend him. Anti-Trumpers will bring an avalanche of evidence as to why they dislike him. Neither side is really making an impact on the other at this point.
Please take a step away from this thread before it gets out of control.
If you were trying to play the middle here and step in to cool things down you certainly look like you're favoring one side with how this is worded. Which is never a good thing to do when breaking up a confrontation.I can't comment on this subject because I fear my head will explode.

Surely, you can't be serious.. The President potentially being a racist, and that factoring into our immigration policy, is something one can make informed decisions about...

I wouldn't be as defensive of certain comments if it wasn't the lefts mission to label as many people as possible a racist.
