You know that in previous administrations it would have been considered an outrage to release something different, of course. But that was then and this is now.
But change it did.
Would THAT be materially different from everything else that’s happened? Would it be a tipping point?
It’s not like she hasn’t done it before. On this very issue, even. Within a week of this date.
Fine. Same result.
Is this different from what happened on North Korea? Not materially, no.
Did we change anything when we saw it happen again on immigration? No.
SO OUTRAGEOUS, in fact, as to be beyond comprehension.
So we don’t. So here we are.
Sure. An “executive order” was “signed.” And it “means something different will happen.” Yes. Terrific. You bet.
Why not?
Why learn the “proper” way of doing things? What difference has not learning it made?
Well, maybe not. Maybe there’s still the “rule of law.” Maybe the courts can stop them. Unless, say, Kris Kobach is any indication of how seriously they take the power of the courts.
HAVEN’T courts been able to stop them? They haven’t just simply defied the courts, right? They’ve “revised” their orders, right?
How many times did they “revise” that thing? And how many times was the result the same, but then they just tried it again, anyway?
Versus how many who’ll be laughed at, locked up and separated, just the same?
Oh. Right. Say, we’re sorry about that. Mistakes were made. It won’t happen again.
Sarah! Sarah! It just happened again! Do you have a comment?
Well, where are your tears for abortion? Thank you everybody. Good bye.
Because we don’t know what to do with it.
Hell, if Trump went to the podium and said it’s all true, and he deserved any punishment we wanted to give him for it, we STILL wouldn’t really know what to do.
It just is what it is.
Though if they can “create their own reality,” we can do it, too.
But then we tell ourselves, “now we’re no better than they are.” So we don’t.
Who cares? It was just a record of what the president “signed."
But NOT say they were doing one thing by “executive order,” then really do something else, perhaps the exact opposite.
NO. Never THAT.
Was there "an executive order addressing the border issue" yesterday? Nobody knows. But "the president" said there was. So...
