what’s hilarious to me is that the idiots that are saying this think they’re being witty, like holy shit, do you guys honestly think this is the same thing that Trump’s version of the situation was?
here’s a hint: it’s not. these are unaccompanied children that are presenting to the boarder. Trump’s version was kids that were being stripped from their families.
Stripped from their families without so much as a receipt, no keeping track of who was taken from whom, and when, whatsoever, making it nearly impossible to reunite the families with their kids. They did it that way ON PURPOSE.
Fucking truly evil the Trump Administration was.
Thank God Trump was so horrible that we now have an absurdly low bar to clear. Thank fucking Christ almighty that we can now treat refugees like shit and simultaneously congratulate ourselves for not being as awful as Trump was. Fuckin’ aces!
Yes, how dare we try to improve anything. Guess once something sucks and is broken we should just leave it that way so it’s terrible forever. Fuck incremental progress! If we can’t fix it all in one go, leave it fucked.
Good thing you weren’t ever a coach in one of those “team full of misfits” sports movies. They never would have been able to win the big game, or even a single game.
Right back atcha. The second they scored a single point you’d give them all participation medals and send them home.
This isn’t incremental change. This is a “return to normal” so that centrist dipshits can put their heads in the sand and go back to ignoring the downright appalling treatment of asylum seekers and refugees. Right down to opening the same fucking facilities run by the same private companies that denied kids water and basic hygiene necessities like toothpaste and soap. But hey, at least we indefinitely incarcerate the kids WITH their families now. Great. Just fucking great. Good job.
Howzabout NOT fucking incarcerating assylum seekers at all? I mean I understand if you have investments in private prisons, or if caging kids is your kink, but if not there is zero reason to support this. It is a shitload of money and resources dedicated to nothing more than increasing human misery and lining a few pockets. Other countries don’t do this fuckery. These people are not criminals.
Where do you put them during processing then…?
Yeah, other countries don’t always do it….and it’s a huge plank that conservatives everywhere exploit.
Wouldn’t fly in the US, sorry.
Most of your “liberals” are too conservative to just let them disappear into the cracks.
Baby steps.
But like someone said above, every step away from being an asshole is a good step.
Don’t burn down the good because it isn’t moving fast enough in the direction of your surprisingly narrow version of enlightenment….
“Don’t burn down the good because it isn’t moving fast enough in the direction of your surprisingly narrow version of enlightenment”
That attitude is exactly how you get mandatory-private-health-insurance-for-most instead of actual universal healthcare like every other country in the world.
That attitude is exactly how you get prettier gilded cages for asylum seekers.
That attitude is exactly how you get no minimum wage hike for over a decade, but hey, if we are really lucky we might, just maybe, get the hike we should have gotten in 2010 sometime in 2025. Maybe.
That attitude is exactly how you get means tested bullshit responses to student loan debt, Covid relief, etc etc ad nauseum.
But the absolutely worst thing about it is that that attitude is exactly how you get Trump Mach II.
“Vote for us, we may have failed to make any real change when we controlled both houses, but at least we’re not Trump” is gonna just work like gangbusters in the midterms though, you betcha.
Not quite. My attitude is “OK, so we’re stuck with Biden. He went on about having the most progressive platform in the history of ever during the election, and he damned well better start coming through or we’re going to have a 1000 year Reich of Trump.”
You guys got nothing.
Nothing to offer but invalid criticisms and misleading memes. Hate of Democrats is all you stand for anymore, no policies, no moral ground, no standards, no issues, you sold your entire political soul to a grifting game show host and there’s no getting it back. You worship at the alter of a befouled rancid demagogue and other than that you stand for nothing. He is your only identity and he has no identity, he is a wholly corrupt shape-shifter that exists only as long as your small minded anger and self-loathing hatred of others remains a snake eating it’s own tail. With NeoConTards there is no there there at all. There is only vitriol, poisonous feelings of loss and jealousy, and eternal, acridly bitter FOMO.
Nothing.
You have absolutely nothing of value to offer whatsoever.
I know you lot can’t not label people as this and that otherwise you shit your pants, but seriously… it’s not a meme to say it was Obama-era policy to separate parents and children. It’s the truth. Not to mention Obama smashed the records for the numbers of deportations in his first term. That’s the truth too. And that record still stands by a long way.
But yeah, we’re all Trump supporters. Underwear saved.
Conservatives don’t give two shits about children, especially immigrant children. They’re just playing an imaginary game of NeoConTards are the Best Trolls that exists only in their snowflake filled heads. They’re as useless as slotted spoons.

every step away from being an asshole is a good step . . . let us know when you take your first one.
that’s not the plan at all, from everything I’ve read about it, the plan is to have them in these centers for no more than 72 hours: www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/biden-major-changes-immigrant-detention-centers-1136768/
Kids in cages was an Obama-era policy, genius.
www.npr.org/2014/06/23/324857970/child-detention-centers-a-headache-for-the-obama-administration?t=1615111669651
that was a bad comparison when you first made it, still is.
Was it Obama policy to separate parents and children? It was? Then how about you shut the fuck up.
So you’re an immigrant advocate now, are you…?
it wasn’t then, and it isn’t now, what are you drinking today?
Which bunch of vacuous cunts does this remind you of?
So you’re an immigrant advocate now, are you….?
THIS is what Biden’s new facilities look like. A far cry from actual cages.
They sure didn’t look like that in 2014 under Obama:

yeah that’s a classic meme from 3 years ago, but why are you bringing it up now? it was hilariously incorrect then and it’s incorrect now too.
Why are you lying?
Hurray! The cages are guilded. Everyone go back to sleep now.
What would your solution be…?
Howzabout NOT fucking incarcerating assylum seekers at all? I mean I understand if you have investments in private prisons, or if caging kids is your kink, but if not there is zero reason to support this. It is a shitload of money and resources dedicated to nothing more than increasing human misery and lining a few pockets. Other countries don’t do this fuckery. These people are not criminals.
But hey, the cages are prettier so good going.
Where do you put them during processing then…?
Yeah, other countries don’t always do it….and it’s a huge plank that conservatives everywhere exploit.

“Vote for us, we may have failed to make any real change when we controlled both houses, but at least we’re not Trump” is gonna just work like gangbusters in the midterms though, you betcha.
And your attitude is exactly how “if I can’t have Bernie, then fuck it, you all get Trump”.
Which is the better world….?
Not quite. My attitude is “OK, so we’re stuck with Biden. He went on about having the most progressive platform in the history of ever during the election, and he damned well better start coming through or we’re going to have a 1000 year Reich of Trump.”
I mean….looks bad when the only other guy on your side here is a disengenuous MAGA cretin…
Fact checking are we?
Under Trump: “Immigration detention center”
Under Biden: “Migrant facility for children”
No refunds!
