AOC tweet o’ the day

I will always be a bit APAG guy but you're trying too hard here bud.

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.allpurpleallgold said:SFGbob said:
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.allpurpleallgold said:

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

The only people being dishonest are the ones saying those two definitions are the same. -
The actual definition of words when we’re discussing what the words mean is trying too hard?dnc said:I will always be a bit APAG guy but you're trying too hard here bud.

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

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.allpurpleallgold said:

It's intentionally intellectually dishonest even if it's technically accurate.
But you know all this. -
What a non-issue. Seriously.allpurpleallgold said:

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 -
Yes. Consider when I call you a fucking pussy, I'm not saying that you are an actual woman's vagina typing on the internet. I mean something else. 99.9% of the people reading that understand what I mean; and the .01% are either truly stupid or are playing word games to pursue their agenda. I have my bet placed on which one we're dealing with here.allpurpleallgold said:

Congratulations on finding a few partisan liberal Jews who want to apologize for AOC's foot-in-mouth. I was worried there weren't any. PS: I've defended her a few times and have argued here more than once that she is anything but stupid. But this was stupid. It's ok to admit it.
We did worse to the Japanese in that we jerked them out of their lives - jobs, businesses and property were lost - for absolutely no reason other than xenophobia-engendered fear. At least in this case, the people involved walked into the problem. No serious person compares Japanese internment with Nazi "Concentration" Camps, which is what they've been called in general conversation since the 1940s, in large measure because the Germans weren't nice to the Jews in the beginning before the extermination process began. The camps were brutal from the outset.

I see a lot of excuses. This is Trump's administration and this is his dumpster fire.

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

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.

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. -

It's intentionally intellectually dishonest even if it's technically accurate.
But you know all this.
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 -

I've never tried to confuse the issue between legal and illegal either -
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.RaceBannon said:
