I asked a pretty straight-forward question: What is the alternative (to temporarily housing & looking to re-unite them with sponsors/family) & so far nobody has bothered to answer the question, but my mentions are full of people calling me a Nazi, fascist & a genocide denier lol
Sorry, none of these are actually answers to the problem. The unaccompanied minor issue is a complex one with no easy solutions. These are bumper sticker slogans with no substance.
Here's an actual thread with context to the issue. That is if you care at all, beyond just shouting reductive bullshit to own the libs.
None of them care. It's the same mentality as the RWers- lies are good if they can be used to attack our enemies. And conveniently, they're both pushing the same 'hurrrr kids in cages much?' talking points.
We've reached the stage of the criticism cycle that I refer to as the 'Sarah Jones/Haberman gambit'-after being deluged with comments about their poor journalistic behavior, they nut-pick out some random. anon email & they try to pivot the story about how theyre the real victim.
I call it that bc Sarah Jones would write some insanely bad, obsessive piece (usually about the Clintons) and would be deluged with loads of legit. criticisms about it. And would of course ignore them all & then post some random anon email she got and be like, "wow, this is/
the type of abuse you get for merely daring to question the Dems/Clinton. And people say Bernie fans have an abuse problem." Haberman did the same thing. Ken Vogel does it too.
Honestly, fuck Politico. There behavior has been absolutely abhorrent & we're only a few months into this admin. They are thin-skinned, TMZ-esque gossip-mongers, who act like bullies trying to stir up controversy. It's not journalism.
People came out of the whole Ducklo thing aghast at his conduct (which again, was clearly bad), but Politico's behavior was arguably the real story. After getting their gossip 'scoop' about the guy's personal life taken, they intentionally leaked OTR conversations to get revenge.
And it's not just politico. It's the entire wagon-circling media cliq, where they all gang together to protect their friends from any sort of criticism & attack those making the very valid critiques....
Still waiting on anyone to provide any actual response to this. Instead I got a whole bunch of (abusive) generic Brooklyn podcast/"writers" like Sam tisk tisking and just saying 'you love the Democrat party.' Still no answer on what they propose to deal w/ unaccompanied minors.
"The vilest people. Absolute amorality." from the guy who said it didn't matter whether Trump got elected (or re-elected) in the first place.
(Also who obsessively tweets about me constantly from behind a block bc I called him out for his Bragman-esque election predictions).
This is extra hilarious because option 1 is literally what they're doing in the article (that he clearly didnt read) and 'just let them (a bunch of minor children who don't speak the language) go' is just........yeah.
What a fun day on Twitter dot com. Leftists are just as addicted to bad faith & outright lying as the Trump GOP are. It's just endless lies & bullshit. And it's not just coming from GuillotineGuy(rose emoji) but people who hold themselves out as serious journalists & thinkers.
There basically exists a trans-partisan alliance (call it Horseshoe theory or w/e you want) where the GOP & "The Left" team up to lie about Dems, often with the exact same talking points. It's been going on for years now.
And when you constantly play down the GOP/Trump wrongdoing & overinflate (& ignore data counter to your narrative) what *insert Dem* has actually done, all you're doing is letting the truly evil off the hook.
