While comrade GURPS goes on a bender

...your hated Wapo offers a rational opinion piece:

Let the Trump team eat in peace
Most obviously, passions are running high. Those who defend the Red Hen staff, or Ms. Nielsen’s hecklers, say this is no ordinary policy dispute. Mr. Trump has ordered terrible violations of human rights at the border, he is demonizing immigrants by his actions and his rhetoric, and people need to speak up however they can.

They will get no argument from us regarding Mr. Trump’s border policy, and when it comes to coarsening the debate, he is the prime offender. The poisonous fruits could be seen, as it happens, Saturday morning in a vile tweet from Ms. Sanders’s father, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, that associated House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, with the vicious MS-13 gang.

We nonetheless would argue that Ms. Huckabee, and Ms. Nielsen and Mr. Miller, too, should be allowed to eat dinner in peace. Those who are insisting that we are in a special moment justifying incivility should think for a moment how many Americans might find their own special moment. How hard is it to imagine, for example, people who strongly believe that abortion is murder deciding that judges or other officials who protect abortion rights should not be able to live peaceably with their families?

Down that road lies a world in which only the most zealous sign up for public service. That benefits no one.

That's what passes to you as "rational"?

Meh. You don't believe a word of the second part of that piece. You are far too dumb to be able to fool anyone.

Let everybody eat in peace. But that's not going to happen. They see the sort of cyclonic media effect when they do this crap, and they wont stop. Especially now that a sitting US Congresswoman has said not only that that's acceptable, but they should do it more and more often. Just watch, this tactic will escalate until someone gets hurt.

They're phucking with the segment of the population that owns the most guns. Has that thought not occurred to them?

Ohhhhhhh scary.....

Well, that's a flip. I thought you people on the left held a huge fear of the bitter red neck, bible thumping, right wingers toting their guns. I mean, it is the reason you push for banning guns and gun control, right? We're too dangerous and it's scary knowing we have guns.

The Washington Post did not print that because they know it is wrong to harass people when they eat.

They printed it because they fear retribution from Conservatives and they don't want their reporters harassed when they eat.
Do not give the WAPO any credit for being nice, their reasoning is really quite visible.

Where does Steny eat anyway?

Since when is caging infants and disabled children seperate from their parents not a human rights violation? And threatening them if they talk to reporters they might never see their families again.

Pics, please?

Oh - I know. You're calling those areas with chained linked fence barriers "cages". Mainly that's because AP reporters called them that, and everyone else went with that.
They're walls - and they didn't spring up overnight. Some of the pics used for sensational effect were taken back as early as 2014.
When Obama was president.

See, I can't figure out if the left are opposing this on principle - volume - optics - humanitarian - scope - law --- because their much beloved ex-President did
the very same thing without a single minute of outrage. The ONLY difference being numbers, because Trump is expanding the law to include all illegal entry.

Was it a human rights violation - THEN? If it was, why did you support it?

Yes. Whole families were caged in jails. They were but they didn't seperate the families unless they believed the child was in danger until April of this year. Saying it happened under Obama is a lie. That law was not enforced. It was enforced only for the last two months.


Why is that so hard for you to understand? That is the point of all this discussion and outrage.


I don't believe people should be allowed to cross our borders illegally but if they do they should still be treated humanely and kept together when possible as the did for years before with no problem.


The way we treat people is what makes us or what once made us the greatest nation on earth.

Must remember that you get your news from Sarah Suckabee and Fox.

Then it makes sense.

Your hero Debbie Wasserman-Shulz just visited one of the children's facilities and was on record how impressed she was with how nice it was.

Oopsee...narrative go "boom".
