    Default Liberal hypocrisy in the news



    ▌🍁 ▌CANADA ▌🍁 ▌Our northern neighbor in the news


    It probably oughtn’t surprise anyone familiar with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Castro Trudeau and his inveterate liberalism that he would call out President Donald Trump on separating families caught illegally immigrating into the United States.

    It also probably oughtn’t surprise anyone familiar with Castro Trudeau and his inveterate hypocrisy that his country does the same thing.

    “What’s going on in the United States is wrong,” Castro Trudeau said. “I can’t imagine what the families living through this are enduring. Obviously, this is not the way we do things in Canada.”

    Except, that kind of is the way they do things in Canada.

    In a CBC piece titled “Canada aims to avoid detaining migrant children, but it happens,” the national broadcaster detailed exactly what happened north of the border.

    “The U.S. is the focus of international outrage for its policy of separating children from their parents and detaining them after they cross the border in search of asylum,” the piece read. "Canada has also detained migrant children — and in some cases, has restricted access to their asylum-seeking parents — despite its stated policy to do whatever possible to avoid it. 'Last year, minors were detained with their parents in Canadian immigration holding centers. Others were held in custody unaccompanied by an adult, according to the Canada Border Services Agency. The CBSA would not speculate on the circumstances surrounding why a minor was unaccompanied.”

    Question Remember when Obama refused to visit his own detention centers?



    MICHAEL MICHELLE NEVER WENT , EITHER, DID SHE?



    Obama did not go to the U.S.-Mexico border. And not only that — he thought the idea was stupid.

    "This is not theater," Obama said. "I’m not interested in photo-ops."

    The response was strong because the calls for him to visit the border were strong. Border-representing Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Tex.) said that Obama looked "aloof" by coming within a few hundred miles of the border without actually going there.

    Like nothing else, showing up at the site of a humanitarian crisis makes the nation focus on it. Lots of people (the media included) were pretty slow to recognize what has happened at the border, and Congress was debating whether to grant Obama's $3.7 billion funding request to deal with the crisis.

    An Obama visit to the border would certainly cast a spotlight and perhaps help force Congress to grant his request — and maybe even create a little more sense of urgency when it comes to passing immigration reform.

    Obama seemed dismissive of the idea that being on the ground and seeing the situation firsthand would give him any additional insights. "Nothing has taken place down there that I'm not intimately aware of," he said.

    But just hours earlier, Obama was talking up the importance of hearing directly from average people who were struggling. In fact, he visited Denver expressly to visit people who had written him letters — something he said was as important to his job as his daily national security briefing.

    James Esseks of the American Civil Liberties Union pointed to the “general rule” that religious and other objections “do not allow business owners and other actors in the economy and in society to deny equal access to goods and services.”

    As I noted before, "copy and paste" doesn't do well beyond his normal copy and paste posts

    Your article is referring to one visit to Texas when he responded to a quesiton if he was going to visit the border during the trip, and both Canada and the US under the last two Administration did have a separation policy but it was seldom enforced, not a daily procedure, and the total numbers of separations in eight years don't match what Trump has accomplished in a month

    He didn't visit any detention centers, did he, anchovies?

    Neither did Michael Michelle, as far as I know.

    Taxpayers are footing the bill for relocating what could be as many as 90,000 children this year from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras who are crossing the U.S. border.

    About 1,100 are being housed temporarily at a facility at Lackland Air Force Base here.

    "Every night, there's about 300 to 400 kids that come in. This is just in the lower Rio Grande Valley," said Cuellar, D-Texas.

    In recent years, the number of children younger than 18 found trying to cross the Mexican border has skyrocketed. Between 2003 and 2011, between 6,000 and 7,500 children a year were landing in the custody of Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement program.

    In 2012, border agents apprehended 13,625 children, and last year that number surged to more than 24,000.

    Cuellar said Washington has been hiding from the problem of children crossing its borders.

    "The problem with the administration is they don't want to give information," he said. "In fact, there's times when they don't want to give information to members of Congress. It's almost like they don't want the American public to know about the situation."

    Default It seems the DEMOCRAT-infested media "forgot" to show you other murals. Guess why.

    Rightys think store owners should have a right to determine who they serve, especially if they are gay or minorities. Perhaps they had a religious objection to serving a person who lies for a living?

    Question Did any liberal ever protest the separation of these kids from their families?

    Mr Will will be stunned to learn that he is characterized as a "liberal".
    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    rac·ist
    rāsəst/noun
    a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    I doubt anything would stun him at this point. The Republican lerch to the far right isn't in his zipcode anymore.
    Intelligent people can't abide Trump. This is simply the best proof you can place before the cult members. If they
    don't get it, and see Trump's mental defects, they just don't want to.
