Trump caves after negative images, pressure from family

[Formerly Once-Ler]

Actually... it's spot-on.  Here's a list of 'other' RINOs, if you're interested.

https://www.conservativereview.com/top-25-rinos/

I instructed you to defend your assertion RINOs vote in sync with rats most of the time.  You provided an arbitrary rating of conservative and liberal votes.  Not party line votes. 

CR's number 1 RINO is Lindsey Graham.  https://ballotpedia.org/Lindsey_Graham#Analysis According to OpenCongress which tracked how often members of Congress vote with the majority of the chamber caucus

In 2014 Graham voted with the Republican Party 79.5 percent of the time
In 2013 Graham voted with the Republican Party 79.2 percent of the time

You can't find a RINO who votes in sync with rats because there are none.  I await you tripling down on being wrong.

Ehhh.....so typical.  But ok.  I'll edit that "most of the time" to enough of the time.  Enough of the time to qualify as not supporting the GOP stance. 

Point is.... the RINOs put a kink in the GOP agenda by voting along with the Democrats when it counts.  I have witnessed enough of those times, so please don't try to pretend it hasn't happened.

Traditional Republicans don't vote in sync with the g'damned DemocRats enough of the time (frickin duh).

Great.  We now agree.

Simple like a bumper sticker.  build the wall. lock her up. drain the swamp.

When I see that graph it says public support falls for immigration when the economy tanks and people need a scapegoat.  It is hard to make the case "the economy is great...we need to protect it from those filthy Latino children."

No kidding.

By the way, who's making the case in that manner, or are you employing hyperbole in an attempt to smear people who disagree with you as insensitive racist troglodytes?.

[txradioguy]

The gullible thing didn't bother me. I thought it was funny, which is why I put the "LOL" in there.

Here is what worries me, from my previous post:

“We’re suspending prosecutions of adults who are members of family units until ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) can accelerate resource capability to allow us to maintain custody,” the official said.

"Because ICE lacks the detention capacity to increase the number of families it holds in detention, the official acknowledged that many migrant parents and children will likely be released from custody while they await court hearings.

Top CBP officials did not know what the executive order would ask them to do until its release Wednesday, the official said. The decision to cease prosecutions of parents with children was made by the Department of Homeland Security for logistical purposes because the official said it would not be “feasible” to bring children to federal courtrooms while their parents go before a judge."

So, the decision has been made to keep the families together while they wait for their court date.
According to ICE and CBP, and Homeland Security, what is missing are the facilities to do so.
Until they are built, if they ever are, we are right back to "catch and release", which is a step backwards, in my opinion.

@GrouchoTex

Catch and release has already started. 11 illlegals in IIRC  McAllen today who were expecting to be sentenced had their charges dropped by the judge.

Maybe this will end, or a least, partially.
Mattis came out and said the have space for 20,000 on military bases.
I guess will see what's next.

Yes.

Of course

You caught me virtue signalling again.  I am who I am.  Usually when someone says "open borders," I hear "brown people." 

On the other hand, my daddy told me "when you throw a stick at a pack of dogs, the one who yelps is the one you hit."

Yes there's room on military bases for that many thanks to another Obama administration policy.

I'd much rather see those spaces in housing and or barracks go to veterans or an increase in military manning rather than to law breakers and non citizens.

It has the potential for trouble.

But it is what it is...and it's better that making the Liberals happy by just dumping them on the street.

My daddy said the same thing about people who virtue signal.

He said throw a stick at a pack of virtue signalers and the one that yelps is the one you hit?  Your dad is very wise.

ME    U.S. Senate    Sr    Susan Collins    Republican    64%
ME    U.S. House    1    Chellie Pingree    Democratic    0%

Failed on the first attempt.  Name one Republican who votes in sync with rats most of the time.  All you need to do is find one.  good luck

It's hard to brag about someone with an R beside her name who votes with the D's 36% of the time.

We've got a mighty low bar if that's happening......

Collins is the quintessential "RINO."  (The name has been rendered meaningless because of its overuse, but for Collins and others, it works).

@CatherineofAragon

Of course

True to form .

Close.

I shouldn't reply to you because you are implacable in your sense of right which often doesn't make sense at all.  The spending bill was inevitable and Trump recently planned to drastically reduce government agencies and useless spending.  He was thwarted by two brainless Republicans in a 48 vote.

The families are not imprisoned.  That is a liberal word to describe a legal place of holding applicants for crossing the border.  If they won't go back and they can't get in, what do you propose?

Please do not answer.  I can't take any more today.

Hey, that's pretty good Emjay!  A way of saying I am right and don't bother responding because everything I say trumps your likely response.   But not going to work.

I know that is a liberal word for the detention center.  I guess you missed the post with the link saying that border patrol has now been instructed not to hold families.  Its pretty much over.  Stretch, stretch bend...............cave.  New boss same as old boss.

Well, dam, @Chosen Daughter   I had a feeling I couldn't shut you up.

shut up is a rude phrase.  shut up.

MY Daddy loved telling me the one about getting into a peeing contest with a skunk.

I thought you had @Chosen Daughter on ignore?

I thought you had @Chosen Daughter on ignore?

She complained the threads had too many blank pages and probably got suspicious we were talking about her.

Shhhh!  Here she comes......
