AOC Fake snowflake tears

:)

That needs to be submitted ⬆vote!

Ren, definitely Ren!

Ren, without a doubt.

Hey, you have to remember, she's the boss.

It's kind of amazing how she has so much apparent clout she has for being so new.

She's not in charge of my district so...
Nyah!!!!

I bet AOC took this all expenses paid trip with her friends to a southern border parking lot at the expense of the US Gov't.

Didn't it happen months ago?

I just thought it was funny that both of them have sour pusses when it's their in group preferences that are going through tough times. Maybe that's callous but idgaf.

Last year.

Dang, she nailed the face.

I am unable to read AOC’s “crocodile tears” as well as most of my fellow conservatives because of their insane bias against her. It’s just more “orange man bad” just on the opposite side of the fence as far as I’m concerned.

It is awful what Obama did yes, but is Trump not continuing what he did? I mean, I thought Trump’s whole schtick was do undo what damage Obama had done. Is the current administration doing more to get them out or put more in? I get it, though. “Trump wants wall and AOC is bad and is incentivizing immigrants to come here”

But all I see is AOC not supporting kids in cages. Trump does.

Whether this was staged or not is irrelevant.

Her stance on socialism is irrelevant.

Trump’s wall is irrelevant.

Obama putting the children of immigrants in detention centers because they did not just simply cross the border but committed major felonies... is irrelevant.

Parents escaping poverty and war to seek asylum by crossing perilous terrain is irrelevant.

Getting these kids out of these private detention centers should be priority one.

That appears to be the reason for AOC’s publicity. Though really, it shouldn’t be this necessary to convince anyone, let alone a President, that putting kids in cages as a deterrent to keep immigrants out is in and of itself cruel and unusual punishment.

And here is what is even MORE patently absurd... is the fact that DEMOCRATS don't want this to go away because they want to use it to advance them to get one of their own as POTUS in 2020. THAT'S RIGHT... I SAID IT. They want this fiasco crises to continue... and it only took the GOP controlled senate to publicaly shame and force the democrat house to recently approve $5Billion in aid to address the humanitarian crises that they previously had been calling manufactured. The Republicans initiated that aid, NOT the democrats.

It's patently absurd to say that Trump wants kids in cages. It's also patently absurd that the democrats will not lift a finger to change the stupid laws that allow this situation to exist. Not one democrat in the last two debates had any actual solutions for how to deal with the illegals flooding our border. And NOT ONE OF THEM knows what should happen when kids show up unaccompanied with a parent, or worse... with adults who are not their parents. And up until the last couple of days, these democrats were all insisting that Trump was manufacturing this crisis. What a pack of do nothing liars.

Except he supports policy that puts them there. We want drug dealers in prison, yes? We want **peists in prison, yes? Do we want refugees in prison? Do we want immigrants guilty of the misdemeanor of crossing the boarder in prison? That’s we’re we disagree. I don’t give a flying f**k if you’re Democrat or Republican. Kids in cages is wrong.

Kids unaccompanied with a parent? I’ll assume you meant just unaccompanied.

The manufacturing claim comes from his immigration policies. He wants to make long waiting times longer, and thorough background checks more thorough and a shorter limit of allowed entries. This doesn’t help with the real crisis in the countries these people are coming from. Places that might’ve benefited from better foreign policy but I’m not even blaming Trump for their issues. Because Obama levying tariffs against a collapsing socialist government maybe wasn’t such a hot idea.

What I do blame him for is continuing and expanding on Obama era policy on immigrants while dismantling DACA. People who’ve lived here since they could walk and talk being sent back to their country of birth that they barely can remember? Bad move.

No he doesn't support the policy that put them there. That is a myth. In fact he has been doing everything possible to not have them there and has been shot down by the courts and the democrats that won't fix the laws.

What he wants is a wall that will reduce the majority of illegals crossing the border and making bogus asylum claims.

Except Democrats support border security, just not Trumps wall. Trump’s wall isn’t about border security, it’s about feeding his ego. Using children in cages as leverage to get what he wants is abhorrent. Using children in cages to deter other immigrants and refugees to come here is also abhorrent.

There is nothing bogus about their claims for asylum. At least not all of them. Blanket policy with the intent to stifle the flow of immigration while ignoring people’s reasons of flooding into our country is poor diplomacy. Not bad diplomacy necessarily but poor. Especially if the result is kids in cages.

Over 90% are bogus and the Judge sends them back

The majority (90%) of the asylum claimers, don't show up for court, and when the juudge says they have to go back, they're nowhere to be found. And then when Trump wants to round them up... the wacky AOC contingent scream bloddy murder and "concentration camps". It's a freaken broken record.

Yes that is interesting. The DoJ reported the exact opposite from 2002-2018 that average of 90% do appear while the Trump administration erroneously reported that only between 2-5% bother to show. But June this year DHS contradicted this statistic by claiming 90% don’t show up. Which means one of three things.

DHS is in error.
DoJ is in error.
An alarming number of asylum seekers not attending have dramatically increased.

I would not presume to draw any immediate conclusions without more evidence but I understand your apprehension.

Do you have an actual proposal on how to handle the massive number of people illegally entering the country? (and please don't suggest open borders, and give them free health care like the crazy democrat debaters these last 2 nights)

It is not my job to propose and just because you don’t like the alternative doesn’t absolve the situation of any moral quandary.

Yeah... I expected that... complain about what Trump is doing, but have no clues as to how to just what he's supposed to do. Pretty easy to complain, especially when you don't have all the facts.

IMO, Trump is doing the best he can in spite of ludicrous and inexcusable opposition that won't lift a finger to help change it.

I'm sorry that Trump locking up children is the best he can do. Perhaps you should consider someone who is more capable of handling a situation that seems beyond Trump's abilities.

Someone who is more capable? Like the Democrats who enacted the practice in the first place?
Some situations are genuinely no-win. Even if you don't like a situation, you have to consider the alternatives and if there is really a better one.
Even if we immediately "released" all the detained children, they would have to be released into someone's custody. The ultimate answer as to who varies depending on the situation (which takes TIME TO FIGURE OUT). Some came in with their parents, some came unaccompanied, and some are victims of human trafficking.
The only immediate solution would be to place them in group homes in the foster system, which would just be a different cage.
The imediate goal should be to improve conditions in the detention centers, which requires funding that the Democrats are blocking.

It would be nice to not have to only choose from Democrats and Republicans. I’ve voted third party at a state level with mixed results. And once, long ago, during Presidential elections when I learned too late of the purpose of the Electoral College and the Conventions. That’s where the whole Republic in Democratic-Republic comes in. Which on the one hand, I understand and appreciate the idea of a Republic but on the other, it’d be neat to see a truly Democratically Elected President.

But like Rotten Tomatoes, the American Election has a People rating and a Critic Rating. Popular Vote (Democracy) and an Electoral (Republic). And sometimes these two don’t agree but it in this system it should be extremely rare to lose one and win the other if these elected leaders want to represent EVERYONE and not the few.

And if Trump is elected by winning the Popular vote in his second election like his counterparts who’ve likewise lost in their first term but won in their second then bully for him! And his supporters. I’ll lower my supposedly unreasonable expectations and criticism of Donald Trump.

But if he wins and fails to pick up the popular vote, then I think we’ll be on the verge of a more serious crisis. One that my fellow Conservatives may only see if our President was a Democrat! Or a truly socialist idiot like Andrew Yang. But I digress.

The situation at the border is not going to go away in a year let alone five. It is going to be a decades long issue, an issue that that was already decades long but now compounded by this administrations refusal to allow immigrants the realistic opportunity to become American citizens. There are groups of people who don’t want any of them to become citizens and they are calling the shots now. And I would hate to see any outcome be in their hands.

But if you don’t believe I wouldn’t be just as critical to a Democrat President, you are sadly mistaken. Especially if they’re openly more hostile to countries just south or north of our border than ones across the sea.

America hasn’t had a land war in a long time. And I’m too old to fight in it. And I would not want to see more young people suffer from the prejudice of the old and the few.

Most of America doesn't want illegals here. I realize it will probably take another loss at the election polls for you to learn that,

I lost at the primaries, sir. Both of them.

34igdp.jpg (click to show) Getting real tired of you Trump turds thinking only Democrats and liberals got a problem with Trump.

Not exactly sure what point you think you are making? That there are not 60,000 kids in cages/prisons right now?

or that its funny?

Either way, choke.

Maybe you should flag it?

It's very colonial of her to wear clothes like that. And watches? Doesn't she know that punctuality is a racist concept? And she thinks she's woke.

The point is that AOC is eking out crocodile tears merely to make herself look good in the public eye, she wasn't actually there.

If she HAD truly been there and really seen those children, she might have been tempted to loosen the purse strings and give them some f**king money to actually improve the conditions she's pretending to be crying about. That would be bad because it would make it look like she's willing to work with Trump, and standing against Trump is more important to her than helping the children.

Are you saying that it wasn't an attempt at hyperbole from an empty parking lot?

Yes, but using that and not actually doing anything about it, and fabricating that you do is not funny...
it's hilariously sad.
