Donald Trump

I'll say one thing for you Dax you've got an answer for everything! Has he mentioned anyone for Press Secretary yet? You could be the next Sean Spicer! Who would you want to play you on SNL?

Unless she declines or there is a bigger role, Keighly McEnany was by far the best Press Secretary of any administration.

Her constant takedowns of activists masquerading as reporters was always fun to watch.
 
Was Tom Homan a fucking psychopath when he worked for Obama and helped deport 3 million illegals?

Speaking of Obama, or Hilary Clinton what exactly where their qualifications for office?

Homan joined what was then called the Immigration and Naturalization Service in 1984, serving as a Border Patrol agent, investigator, and supervisor. He was appointed by President Barack Obama as Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations in 2013.[9]

By 2014, Homan had begun to argue that separating children from their caregivers would be an effective means of discouraging illegal border crossings. The journalist Caitlin Dickerson describes him as the "intellectual father" of the policy, which he outlined years before it was adopted by the Trump administration. “Most parents don’t want to be separated,” Homan told Dickerson. He argued that this fact made separation an effective tool for immigration enforcement: “I’d be lying to you if I didn’t think that would have an effect.”[5]

In 2015, President Obama gave him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. A Washington Post article at the time stated, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."[10][11]
Now do Gaetz and Hegseth. O and anyone who thinks separating kids from their parents is a good idea is a fucking **** never mind psychopath.
 
He’s a deffo nonce.
See, whether George Washington owned slaves or not, whether he was gay or not, whether he beat Martha or not, whether he was a Deist or a Mason or not, whether he was from Virginia or Massachusetts or Barnsley or Kilarrney Back is wholly irrelevant to the point at issue and you know it, gordon. We're judging one thing and one thing only, Washington's effectiveness as a war fighter and commanding officer, not his moral culpability for owning another human & exploiting their labour.

It's true that Americans do squirm in their seats when the issue of some of the Founding Fathers being slave owners is raised.

I live in Massachusetts, not South Carolina. It's not swept under the rug here, but neither is it fixated on. I think people are ashamed by it but really don't know how to process it. What are we saying really? A bunch of white guys had some great ideas and did some amazing things at the same time they did some inhuman things and held some abhorrent beliefs. Welcome to humanity?

That's fine. Then Obama is a fucking **** and a psychopath because he hired Homan and rewarded him. I don't recall, perhaps you do, did Obama voters and the media pile on Barrack Obama as a **** and a psychopath?

I don't know how it works in the U.K. but do you separate children from mothers or fathers who are abusive, or commit crimes, or cannot support them, or are judged to be unfit?

Didn't the separation idea get rejected during Obama's time? He did appoint Homan, and Homan did come up with the idea, but I didn't think it was put into practice.

Good point. I think I'm wrong. I can see the error in my thinking. Let me check.

Yes, you are 100% correct. It was only discussed by Obama but it WAS rejected on moral grounds. Cool. Here are a couple of snippets from a 2018 NPR interview / transcript with former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Leon Fresco.



FRESCO: Got to let them go. And so then if you want to hold somebody in custody, you have to separate the parents and the children or you have to let the parents and the children in together to the United States and trust them to appear at their court proceeding. And so this is the conundrum that we face. Now, the Obama administration - and I was of this belief also - said, look; even if you think securing a border is a noble goal - and I think it's a noble goal - there are certain things you don't do to achieve noble goals. You don't kill people. You don't torture people, et cetera. And so we said on that line of morality is we're not going to separate them.

You never saw prosecutions that separated parents and children, and you certainly never saw that for the purpose of causing the separation. That's completely new.
