« on: August 01, 2018, 05:21:46 PM »I am clearly missing some context for this anecdote. Are you self-identifying as an idiot grocery virgin who lacks a filter, or was your anecdotal reply in response to an earlier post from said idiot, and of a satiric nature? Or, more alarming, did you experience some kind of trauma that erased all grocery protocols from your mind?No! NO! Our Peerless Leader is Incapable of Error!
OK, guess you mean Trump. I sometimes forget what forum I'm in.

Does she have any credibility left?

Forcible separation and immediate detaining in what are in all but name prison camps is a different matter.Regardless - they paint a picture that every border case is a lost kid situation.
No, they didn't. They painted the picture that over 3,000 kids were unwillingly separated from their parents, which is number provided them by the administration.Do you expect the border patrol to decide case by case which parent/kid combinations get to enter and stay, no questions asked? To let everyone in? What, exactly?
They could, I don't know, do what they did before the Trump Administration instituted a zero tolerance policy this spring that they knew full well would result in kids being taken from their parents. But for Trump the cruelty is the point. They saw the separation policy as a deterrent.
That you would argue that they had no choice makes clear that you either aren't following the story, or that you have no interest in discussing this in good faith.
Children were put in foster care under the Obama administration after parents were deported. And others, like now, were able to be placed with relatives in the US.
Quote
The deliberate infliction of cruelty is the issue. The means matters, regardless of the end. If you favor permanent loss of a child as punishment for seeking asylum, admit it and take the heat. Or find another policy that meets your end.
We are trying to LOWER the entries at the border. Please - make a better effort in understanding this.

They were not "caught up." They were targets and examples for the enforcement of the policy.
The "3000" are the unfortunate who have been temporarily caught up in the changing system.

Off topic, but I drove to the grocery store last night to buy a gallon of milk and got all the way to the checkout when I realized I forgot my ID. So embarrassing.
Needs, they easily could also have tracked the kids and parents through the system, so that it would be easy to reunite families. But they did not do that, because they had no real intention of reuniting them.

And, of course, the Josh-like smorgasbord of informative links. Nothing wrong with a repurposed sock.You axe Meander Where You May and teddy will roll over in her grave, and I do not think she is actually dead.
I would suggest close the unused forums, which will just attract spammers. I mean, do we really need a separate forum for pets or Latin American writers or theater? Maybe keep three book forums, say,, fiction, nonfiction and creative writing.

Michigan is the State of College Football. Michigan... State. See what I did there?
The reboot means that the record of my correctly picking every single college football game since 2007 is now, sadly, lost.
