    What's with all the name calling and derogatory terms?

    Can you not be civil?

    How about you reply to my post and explain how it's not double standards as you claim? Then you can prove to us that your claim is not pathetic.

    His softer touch hasn't been missed by his southern neighbours.

    I hope he builds these hotels tall and wide.
    Maybe he should ask Donald for some hotelier tips.

    U.S. authorities made nearly 78,000 arrests and detentions along the border with Mexico in January — the highest number for that month in at least a decade and more than double the amount from a year earlier — a sign of the immediate challenge President Biden will face as he attempts to undo the policies of former president Donald Trump.

    Have we the dates of these arrests? Like how many made before 20th January when Biden took office?

    Now who's being pathetic.

    If you want more children in camps then Biden is your man.

    Where is the common sense gone?

    I have literally demonstrated to you that that is not true. I'm glad to know that you still haven't changed and are still ignoring what you don't want to hear.

    How am.i being pathetic, Biden was only in office for eleven days if that month. That's a fact, if the majority of those arrests happened before he took office then they had nothing to do with him.

    You're "being pathetic" because you're pointing out the very obvious flaw in their agenda and it clearly seems to have upset them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,044 ✭✭✭Carfacemandog


    Yeah, posting someone’s tweet really is the height of a winning debate.
    I can sense they’re getting desperate.

    Biden should praise white supremacists for the laugh.

    They're boy who cried wolfing themselves. I'm sure there will be plenty to criticise over the course of Biden's presidency, there always is with US presidents.

    The thing is, when they are so blatantly obvious in their constant feigning of concern and worry, it means that when legitimate things do pop up not many outside of their little circle jerk is going to take them seriously.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭TomSweeney


    And? There is no set date for this and Biden has bigger things to fix before worrying about a speech.
    :D:D:D:D !!!

    Biden has things to fix !!

    That jabbering senile demented moron is doing nothing, they roll him out every so often to give a speech where he blunders and stammers ....

    Kamala and all are "fixing" things in the background ..

    Calling something out as pathetic is perfectly civil, it's called criticism. Why did you thank Tom's post above, not a very civil post was it? Or was that okay because he was calling Biden names?

    It was in the post, everlast to be fair said he deserves criticism when its warranted, some on here take any criticism of him as a personal insult.

    So it was just tit-for-tat confirmation bias. Hardly adds anything to the thread.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Not sure that three Republican votes qualifies as "bipartisan support" but anyway, another good day for the administration.

    They started locking children up under Obama, when Biden was VP, so of course as president he's gonna sit twiddling his fingers. The Democrats built the cages in the first place.

    That looks like the strategy. This call was with the King. Clears the way for the Report to be published.

    Did you agree with the previous administration purposely separating children and parents on purpose?

    Trump:
    “They did it. We changed the policy and they built the cages. We did not build the cages.” Did the Obama administration build the cages?

    Fact check:

    The Obama administration did build the cages Trump alluded to. The facility Trump mentioned was built with chain-link fencing by the Obama administration in 2014 in a warehouse in Nogales, Ariz. The makeshift shelter was built in response to an exodus of unaccompanied immigrant children from Central America.

    Did the Obama administration separate families at the southern U.S. border?

    Fact check:

    Yes, U.S. border officials did separate children from their parents on occasion, but it was not as widespread or systematic as it became under the Trump administration, particularly during its “zero-tolerance policy,” which was meant to deter migrants from seeking refuge in the U.S.

    Dave, do you agree with trumps policy of separating children from their parents on purpose, as a means to deter immigration?

    Why don't donny supporters ever answer that question? Are they afraid of it?

    Is it not widely accepted as fact? Genuine question. I was always under the impression that cages came in under Obama but Trump used them in an even more inhumane fashion.

    Righting the wrongs of Trump’s globally condemned separations policy is one of the most urgent and challenging tasks that lies ahead for the incoming administration. Civil rights groups that have been fighting for years to reunite thousands of families are now pushing for a bold and speedy response from Joe Biden – one that reunifies victims, grants them protection in the US, and provides restitution.

    “We tortured these families, we took their children,” said Carol Anne Donohoe, the managing attorney with Al Otro Lado, a group that has been working to reunite deported parents with their children. “Some parents and children haven’t seen each other in over three years. It’s an abomination, and we need immediate action … and accountability to ensure this never happens again.”

    But Obama did put the cages there no? That's what that poster was responding to. Don't think there's much doubt Trump used them more inhumanely.

    It would be super swell if you could answer astrofool’s question as I am interested in your response too. Thanks.
