    I think what's happening at the border is wrong and we can do a lot better but AOC is so far gone she has me defending the border situation.

    She's clearly taken a page out of Trump's book. Honesty and integrity clearly have no place in our political culture.

    Sad.

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/concentration camp

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/death camp

    The only people being dishonest are the ones saying those two definitions are the same.
    When she used the term "concentration camps" in connection with the phrase "never again" she was comparing what we are doing to the Nazis. There comes a time when you just have to stop the kneepadding defense.
    Common vernacular is the only relevant interpretation in this case. What do people think of when they hear "concentration camp"? The answer to that question is all that matters.

    The actual definition of words when we’re discussing what the words mean is trying too hard?

    Are people free to come and go from "concentration camps" if they decide they want to just go home APAG?

    There are definitions and then there are what words actually mean to the hearer. AOC (and the Twitter brigade you are citing) are well aware of what concentration camp means to everyone who hears it, that's why they're trying so hard to get the label to stick.

    It's intentionally intellectually dishonest even if it's technically accurate.

    But you know all this.

    What a non-issue. Seriously.

    Lots of dumb, hyperemotional people who give this shit way more attention than it deserves.

    In a world where the left is so concerned about triggering and micro aggressions and such it's pretty wild to watch the left throw their capes on for this.

    All this will end up doing is distract from the actual issue on the border, but it will score AOC some points with her base so I guess it's worth it.

    With all that said, and Jake Browning still sucking, I'd prefer she just flash her tits at me before they reach the top of her V.

    What?

    Trump is telling the truth about the border. AOC and her team have blood on their hands. Its a fucking mess and the last message that should be going out is come on up!

    The democrats changed detention laws, made asylum seekers get a free in country ticket, and helped to flood the Obama Detention Centers.

    Mexico and Central America are helping more than Congress

    There are a lot of things that both sides do. And there are a lot of GOP types that want open borders (Hi Damone!!)

    Trump isn't one of them. We could get a deal to close off the border, kick out the bad hombres, and start a path for the entrenched non criminals.

    Instead we get this shit

    I see a lot of excuses. This is Trump's administration and this is his dumpster fire. Blaming the minority party and whining about your hands being tied is what losers do.

    Bullshit

    The democrats blocked the Senate legislation and now have the House.

    Judges have tried to stop every step we take

    Trump isn't the dictator he is alleged to be

    Too bad I guess

    What he has done is to get Mexico and the Central American countries to play ball and keep the pressure on the open borders crowd.

    You can blame him. But you're wrong. We would be worse off if he hadn't won and this is why he wins again rather easily

    Or we can all just tweet about concentration camps and let everyone go free

    They are in those fucking camps because of leftists inviting them there with the intent of pressuring us? to get rid of them

    I have an attachment to reality that tells me that we aren't rounding up 30 million non citizens

    I think we should control our border and our immigration. Call me old fashioned

    Can't you just throw me a bone here? You felt some softness with my happy Hatian janitor. Admit it. Don't be obstinate like APAG and the concentration camp crap. I th ink deep down you are real free market guy and you know that regulated immigration of hungry people at all professional strata is good for America.

    The minority party always makes life hell for the president. Were you around 08-16? It wouldn't be good ol fashioned American politics if that weren't the case.

    You can only play the hand you're dealt. Trump played his hand by letting the MSM have a field day with images of children being herded like cattle and Tom Rinaldi stories of separated families.

    That's either organizational incompetence or a terrible political calculation. You choose. If you're gonna win, then fucking win and quit bitching about the refs.

    The twitter brigade including Jewish historians and a rabbi, that you’re offended on behalf of?

    If something means more to you than the definition that’s fine but it’s not reality and you don’t get to dictate to others that it must mean that because you said so.

    It would be dishonest if no one was drawing a distinction. Again...



    You’re saying your initial reaction to hearing it is all that counts and anyone trying to differentiate based on actual meaning is trying too hard and being dishonest. That’s ridiculous.

    And again...do you want to fucking bet on which side the majority of Jews will come down on?

    He let them?

    Pressing

    The people at the border are faced with a near impossible task that they perform reasonably well just like most of us would

    Do you want them put on trial like the concentration camp guards?

    Like I said, if you want to blame the one guy trying to solve this I won't stop you

    So I don't think we've ever been on fundamentally different sides of the issue. As I've said, who can be against legal immigration? I suspect we may have a different view of the relative priorities of fixing the problem.

    You can blame whoever you want. The media. The opposition. The Mexicans. At the end of the day it falls on the big man himself to do something about it. So far its been failure after failure on the border.

    Mexico committing to stemming immigration on their southern border is a step in the right direction. Maybe Trump will finally start winning. I sure hope so. I root for America.

    The problem with getting things done is that all Republicans aren't Republicans. Democrats tore their party line more.
