You claimed that Trump wrote an EO that directly called for the separation of child from their parents at the border, and to put them in concentration camps. And that Trump with his magic pen can fix all of without regard to following laws or such. How about you answer these questions. Include the actual text of the order:
Given Trumps EO, can you find any part where it said they need to remove the child from the parent?
Can you find the point in the EO where it states all children are to be separated from their parents and held in a concentration camp?
In Sessions directive, can you find where it states to remove children from their parent?
In Sessions directive, can you find where it state to build child concentration camps?
Any of those direct answers either makes or breaks your point. You dance around it, but because of that dance, and trying to argue weak semantics is why I know you have lost the argument. If you could find in the EO where it says what you say it does, my position is SLAYED. I mean, dead, killed, buried and worse. Just like you claim it is.
But did you look for it? It should take a couple of minutes. You could point to it and say "Here!" and my position would be wrecked. Interestingly, you haven't.
I think the truth is you looked and couldn't find it. And do not want to admit you were wrong. So, either you didn't look, or you looked and couldn't find it. Either way shows us that your position that Trump made the law that kids are separated and thrown in concentration camps is BS. It would have been so easy to prove. Should have taken one post. I even handed you the link - and I quoted all the text pertaining to children, and the related laws inside of that text I quoted and linked to.
No where is your position upheld.
Good question. Not too sure what the point is. Honestly I doubt he had much knowledge of that specific bill. Or of the reduction of spending Brown did the prior year. Or of what needs to go to withholding funds. (Edit: I think he has no real control over it. Congress does, but I don't think we have line item vetoes in effect. And I don't see the house giving him that power. I might be wrong here. He is fairly limited and congress could give them more without Trump being able to do much about it besides throwing a fit on Twitter.) I think that was the typical over the top chest thumping BS he normally does to get a reaction. I would guess it is him just flexing to set people off, and the Trumpers will nod their head and go 'Stick it to 'em!' without realizing how stupid it really is. That line was pandering to the people who just want to see Orange Hulk Smash. That shit, man, if he could just stop acting like a thin skinned 5th grade bully for 2 or 3 days [shake my head].
If somebody could edit about 1/3rd of his tweets out or down there might be the makings of something presidential, but I don't think he gives a shit about that. Maybe 2/3rds.
