runner,

You're so entertaining.

But don't be jealous of what others have.
Count your own blessings. After all Jesus
loves you - even though the rest of us
think you're an ...

BTW: - Just so that you know -
there is no federal law mandating children
and parents be separated at the border:
a policy resulting in that outcome was
enacted in May 2018.

Oh thats why the tantrum throwers needed to get photos from 2014 and 2016 Foxy. Oh well as I said tell the lie often enough Foxy. Plenty of people like yourself love to console yourself with a narrative of hatred towards Trump. Truth is the loser but be sure it will win out in the end.

"You fail to explain the full context of what
was said and the explanations offered at that
time."

OK here's the full context...you made up a claim that was utterly wrong but which you thought supported your opinion. I pointed out that the claim was utterly wrong. You went utterly silent on your made-up 'fact'. Later after you'd asserted that I was making unsupported claims I, (1) refuted that made-up claim and (2) asked you to offer some evidence for your original made-up 'fact'. You then admitted that your made-up claim that my facts were wrong was instead wrong and finally announced that you didn't want to talk about it any more.

Is that enough context?

"But it must have struck a chord as you're
still carrying it around with you. "

Not exactly, but I see it as evidence of your modus operandi and of your propensity toward dishonesty when the facts of the matter don't gel with your view of the facts. So yes I probably will continue to mention it to remind me, you and others who might be interested that much of what yu say should be taken with quite a few grains of salt.

Dear mhaze,

You sanctimonious bloody drop kick. You wouldn't know a fact if it bit you on the bloody arse.

To even comtemplate saying Trump's policies are the same as Obama's singles you out as a spectacularly unqualified to make any assessment of how truthful any other person might or might not be.

This is part of what Elizabeth Warren wrote after visiting the concentration camp in Texas on Sunday:

Quote:

Then an employee described what we were about to see. "They have separate pods. I'll call them pods. I don't really know how they name them." Clearly they had gotten the memo not to call them what they are: cages. Every question I asked them had a complicated answer that led to two more questions – even the simple question about how long people were held there. "Nobody is here longer than 24 hours." "Well, maybe 24-48 hours." "72 hours max." And "no children are separated out." "Well, except older children."

The warehouse is enormous, with a solid concrete floor and a high roof. It is filled with cages. Cages for men. Cages for women. Cages for mamas with babies. Cages for girls. Cages for boys.

The stench – body odor and fear – hits the second the door is opened. The first cages are full of men. The chain link is about 12-15 feet high, and the men are tightly packed. I don't think they could all lie down at the same time. There's a toilet at the back of the cage behind a half-wall, but no place to shower or wash up. One man kept shouting, "A shower, please. Just a shower."

I asked the men held in cage after cage where they were from. Nearly all of them were from El Salvador, Guatemala, or Honduras.

Then I asked them how long they had been there – and the answers were all over the map, from a few days to nearly two weeks (72 hours max?). The CBP agents rushed to correct the detained men, claiming that their answers couldn't be right. My immigration specialist on the trip who speaks fluent Spanish made sure the men understood that the question was, "How long have you been in the building?" Their answers didn't change.

Cage after cage. Same questions, same answers.

Next we came into the area where the children were held. These cages were bigger with far more people. In the center of the cage, there's a freestanding guard tower probably a story or story-and-a-half taller to look down over the children. The girls are held separately in their own large cage. The children told us that they had come to the United States with family and didn't know where they had been taken. Eleven years old. Twelve. Locked in a cage with strangers. Many hadn't talked to their mothers or fathers. They didn't know where they were or what would happen to them next.

The children were quiet. Early afternoon, and they just sat. Some were on thin mats with foil blankets pulled over their heads. They had nothing – no books, no toys, no games. They looked shell shocked.

Of course any fair minded person, one who wasn't busy shining the boots of their Commander in Chief like yourself, would rightly be utterly ashamed of what was being done in their name.

SteeleRedux,
If you could, how would you address this problem ?
