From the New York Daily News; heretofore a strict defender of the PC of the left;


Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring’s admission that, as a 19-year-old in 1980, he wore what could be considered blackface, may be a blessing in disguise.

Coming just days after the revelation of a racist photo in Gov. Ralph Northam’s 1984 medical school yearbook, it provides all Americans the opportunity to pause and think through what truly ought to constitute a firing offense in public life.


And from a prominent democrat


Former Democratic Congressman Jim Moran is also arguing for a less draconian response, telling NPR: “And, you know, these — this public shaming, I’m not sure how much it accomplishes versus looking at the longer picture. If the longer picture is, and I think should be, racial justice and conciliation and reparation, then I wonder if giving people a second chance, as well — whatever they did — might serve, in the long term, the greater interest.”

And?

Ocasio Cortez Calls To Defund ICE Because She Says Latinos Own The Land

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made herself look ridiculous in many ways on Thursday.
It happened during the unveiling of her ridiculous Green New Deal in which she said the United States should eliminate airplanes, and pay cash to people unwilling to work.

The 29-year-old said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement should be defunded.

And it should be defunded because the land of the United States belongs to Latinos by birthright.

“Because we are standing on native land, and Latino people are descendants of native people,” the young representative said.
“And we cannot be told and criminalized simply for our identity or our status. Period,” she said as she cried.

This is her new schtick. That technically Latinos everywhere are Native Americans and do not have to come to the United States legally.

#####

Well there you go...this is the alternative to Trump-Washington.
Guess she's not for a wall and is for open borders.

[bambu-wisdom]

This I do not understand, to the liberal elites open borders is the end of every argument. Crying babies and their extended families.

It happened during the unveiling of her ridiculous Green New Deal in which she said the United States should eliminate airplanes, and pay cash to people unwilling to work.

When you read opinion articles, it's good to fact check them, and be mindful of authorial bias.  AOC said neither of those.  What she actually said was that promoting high-speed rail would decrease reliance on air travel and thereby reduce pollutants per passenger mile.  This is factual.  Nor are her ideas on unemployment insurance geared to those "unwilling to work."  This latter is lazy rhetoric masquerading as thought.  Lazy poor people has been a bugbear of the Right for a long time. 

AOC is often wrong on her numbers, and is not my idea of a leader for the Left, but her detractors are also often wrong, too.

If a neo Nazi xenophobic dictatorship is our path to survival it is time for us to perish.

Whitaker came off like a clown... a Trump lackey. He’s supposed to be the top lawyer for the USA and he blatantly performed for and as Trump’s lawyer... rank and file DOJ won’t take this partisan bullshit lightly.

This has nothing to do with lower taxes on the wealthy. This is illegal immigration. These are not persecuted minorities for the most part but people tied to failed societies that do not wish to assimilate but want to transform America into what they came from.

People tied to societies that the United States fucked with.

And these are ASYLUM SEEKERS. You are buying into bullshit, Luee.

And they are people seeking what America is, not seeking to have it be another place to flee from. The border sheriffs do not want the wall, mostly. The border US Reps of both parties do not want the wall.

And your perpetual blather about "open borders" is about as realistic as the folks claiming that the NY law allows anybody who wants one to have a 3rd term abortion.

It's all bullshit.

Are there people who want them? Sure. Are they a significant part of the Democratic Party? No. Smaller than the number or percentage of active neo-Nazis in the GOP - and honestly, that group causes far more damage to the US than the folks you have yourself worked up into a lather about.

And you keep saying when that is pointed out, "well, why don't we deal with both," but until somebody reminds you of the right wing terrorists, you don't address them at all. And as soon as possible, you go back to this BS about the immigrants.

Whitaker underscores, yet again, that the Trump administration cannot be trusted to tell the truth when discussing the children they have kidnapped and refused to return to their families.

Whitaker claimed there was no child separation policy at the border, when this has already been proven to be bogus.

Much of the time, he managed to avoid lying by simply not answering the questions he was asked. I think he, DimBulbWard, and Kiiid would all get along famously:

“These parents were in your custody, your attorneys are prosecuting them, and your department was not tracking parents who were separated from their children,” Jayapal continued, her voice rising. “Do you know what kind of damage has been done to children and families across this country, children who will never get to see their parents again? Do you understand the magnitude of that?”

“I understand the policy of zero tolerance,” Whitaker responded, referring to the policy of prosecuting illegal border-crossers that led to the separations.

“Has the Justice Department started tracking parents and legal guardians who were separated from their children at the border?” Jayapal asked. The acting attorney general responded without emotion, “Congresswoman, I appreciate your passion for this issue, and I know that you’ve been very involved on the front lines.”
