    This is counterproductive... cutting off aid to these poor countries will only increase the number of people leaving their countries to come to the United States.

    If the left could just start being honest, then everything wrong in the world would be fixed.

    Thankfully I was sitting on the toilet when I read this, or else I’d’ve shat my pants from laughter.

    Particularly in this discussion the left is lying more. The right doesn't have to lie so much about unchecked illegal immigration being a problem. It is the left saying things like Trump is putting kids in cages. But keep playing stupid.

    Not surprised you use Russia Today as your source.

    Sad that the only thing standing in the way of Trump deporting millions of people is operational capacity.

    I like watching people like you short circuit when I post RT. It isn't affecting the actual key story and discussion but people like you are robots and you just can't cope with it. It is fascinating. I am posting about widely reported quotes from AOC and you flip out like someone here needs your media literacy lesson. I know damn well it is Russian Propaganda lol.

    Jonathan Turley on Princeton's Eddie Glaude calling Trump's deportation announcement a "terroristic act":

    Princeton Professor of African American Studies Eddie Glaude took to MSNBC this week to comment on the announcement of President Donald Trump that his Administration will commence with widespread deportations in the coming week. Rather than address the merits of such a plan or the alternatives, Glaude showed how reasoned discourse has become little more than raw (and in this case unhinged) hyperbole. Glaude declared that the Trump announcement should be viewed as a “terroristic act.” I recently published an article on the trend from academics to advocacy on our campuses. Glaude declared just a week earlier that, with Trump, “we’ve moved beyond autocratic to almost monarchical.” It appears now that he has moved by the monarchical to the terroristic. . . .

    The exchange on MSNBC reflects perfectly our age of rage and the lack of any serious discussion of such policies. People simply tune into shows for echo-chamber media where they will hear an academic holding a prestigious academic chair assure them that the President is little more than a terrorist and they do not have to even discuss the stated rationale by ICE for this action.

    As an academic, I feel an added burden to try to add value to the national debate by bringing in detached and substantive analysis. I cannot claim to have always been successful and many can have legitimate disagreements with my understanding of the law or history. However, I believe that professors have a deep duty to the academy, their schools, and themselves to rise above the hyperbolic and reckless rhetoric that reflects our age of rage. One can disagree with this policy without joining a race to the bottom on cable news to come up with the most extreme possible description. It certainly makes for thrilling television and no small degree of popularity. However, as tenured faculty, we have the ability to offer objective analysis, even when our conclusions are neither popular nor well-received by a particular audience. Otherwise, we are just little more than credentialed members of a mob.​

    I fixed it for you. Used one word. Summed up all SweetLou posts.

    Also that is true. I like watching propaganda from Russia and other places. It's interesting to compare them all and you start to see what each outlet leaves out of its story. I suggest you do the same if you want to immunize yourself from being a victim of propaganda. Watching multiple sources from different countries is key. I was laughing out loud at RT yesterday because they left out key pieces of info about the Iran Tanker story because they clearly have it out for the US agenda. Also, AJ plus is hilarious too, as they leave a lot of key details out and push social initiatives that would get them beheaded in Qatar. Oh and CNN and Fox are absolutely hilarious sometimes.

    I'm no AOC fan, but she's right, according to the facts at hand, we are running concentration camps.

    Now, if you think it's a dirty trick to use such a loaded term to describe the situation (perhaps in an attempt to make things appear/sound worse than they really are), that's fair.

    But given what the definition of a concentration camp is and what we know is going on there, she isn't wrong.

    The whole "ur a facist!" and "ur a socialist!" crap is just noise at this point that both sides indulge in far too often and I'm completely numb to it.

    Well, apparently trump was telling the truth *this* time. But two weeks to come up with a deal? Even Speaker Pelosi appears to be suggesting that more time would be needed to accomplish comprehensive immigration reform...
