  1. Is there some symbol that I am supposed to use for sarcasm? Apparently it is not as obvious to you as to me.

    Today’s irony: I didn’t miss your sarcasm, you missed mine.

    Ok. But was Trump really a no on DACA during the campaign?

  5. Good question. I recall him mumbling something about Dreamers being taken care of. It got lost in his overall bluster about walls, no amnesties, etc. I think it is fair to say his supporters would be seething with anger if there is any kind of amnesty including Dreamers, who after all, are illegal aliens, just very loudmouthed ones. He might be able to placate his MAGA base, provided he can point to tangible improvements in immigration. Most importantly, he has to be able to campaign in front of a massive wall, preferably with hordes of would-be illegals massed on the other side of it.

    Dems see a real chance here of getting an amnesty, which the courts will then expand grotesquely, and give up nothing much at all. That's the gang of six position, that's Javenka's position, that's Ryan's position, that's the media position, that's the republican establishment position, that's the position of Gen. Kelly and the head of DHS. Standing against it is the little boy with his finger in the dike, Steven Miller.

    It'll be fascinating to see it play out.

    the polls and the people are against this. certainly the base.

    this could have been parlayed into a big win for the republicans and they will likely get nothing future election defeats from it.

    It is hard for me to imagine how short term crooked a politician has to be to sell out his or her own and his or her party's future. You would almost have to wonder if they were raised as sleeper agents/politicians or something?

  7. Nice try.

    Soros spent the happiest days of his life helping the Nazis.

    Whether he was an officer or a not or even a registered member of the party (too young anyway) is neither here nor there. They went out doing dirty work in rounding up jews and he was with them.

  9. As I said:

    "They went out doing dirty work in rounding up jews and he was with them."

    What part of that is not correct?

    And yes, as he said, he "had no guilt" because he was just assisting.

    And yes, as I have said, he has said that was the happiest time in his life.

    So we have Trump who your ilk calls a Nazi just for fun each day, and another person who actually associated with, assisted, and accompanied Nazis who you will defend with your last breath.

    In others words...

    If I didn't collaborate with the Nazis, someone else would have. And, I feel fine.
