I'm sorry, I value tangible policy over battles of symbolism. Republican rhetoric surrounding the wall would be immediately undermined by the much more damaging, racists, anti voting laws having the rug pulled out from under them.
Nothing is worth legitimizing/financing a dubious racist wall project. Nothing
Blame the SHITTY "new posts, view them" feature and then read my edited post.
HR1 alone is probably a big enough long term win for Dems to be worth it, but legit statehood measures for territories would be huge too.
Just bluffing in the sense that republicans support this. They don't and they know damn well it wont be law. They are trying to spin this as being the dems fault.
I'm not sorry, forever, irretrievably destroying America's standing on an international scale, and legitimizing terroristic extortionist tactics as a successful negotiation maneuver is not worth any conceivable counteroffer. If the Dems cow to this because they're groundlessly insecure about their standing, they forever cede the nation's corridors of power to the fascists.
This. The fact that Trump suddenly cares about our "nation of immigrants" image should be a sign to anyone with a brain that he's desperately trying to butter people up and act like he's reasonable and empathetic to get something he wants. Liberal politicians, journalists and citizens need to internalize the lesson that Trump is an untrustworthy mook who will burn anyone who makes a deal with him any chance he gets.
Folks still trying to give him a chance this late have picked a side. dude needs to be handled like he already got the knife in your back
They're not actually considering it. They're trying to turn their tumbling polls around.
You really think these racist mother fucking pseudo-Nazis are going to offer permanent protection? I want what ever you're smoking.
