What this country needs is not the two mafias - Democrats and Republicans - the latter being increasingly cruel against brown people. There needs to be a non political movement for basic decency and humanity which this country seems to have lost.

I was just thinking this thread was running low on #bothsides false equivalence. Thanks for rectifying that!
There is a bi-partisan chorus of voices pressuring the President to back down on the family separation policy. Trump backed himself into a corner. Appease his base or appeal to reason. This is a useful crisis of his own making and a huge gamble heading into midterms.
The enablers are those who voted for Trump. You still fail to understand why.
It is quite possible to reject Trump as a President and simultaneously criticize Clinton as a candidate. That is not obfuscation. That is simple fact. One day you will advance past denial.
No, seriously. A Pelosi or Schummer or any generic random self serving Democrat standing up and denouncing the cruelty of the vile one's gang - how much of a moral effect does that have? It is better if they keep their mouths shut, because that only makes something political which is really about basic human decency.
Yeh, y'all should just STFU in the face of the monstrous nature of the Trump regime.
If they make noise, the first question a person would ask - what is the agenda behind it? What is the real story behind it? And so on and so forth. Dirty people should not touch a clean thing.
Again, if you stop being so angry all the time, you might understand more.
Even from the purely self serving political calculation, it is better for the generic no-credibility, no respect Dem like Schummer and company to not make too much noise about this. Let the people see what is happening. If they make noise, the first question a person would ask - what is the agenda behind it? What is the real story behind it? And so on and so forth.

Wait, are you trying to imply that for a person to be against a morally corrupt thing that they must themselves be morally corrupt? I am almost sure that is not what you are trying to say, but it is hard to read that sentence any other way. So, somewhere I think your message is getting lost in the prose.
No, he’s saying he has decided they are morally corrupt, therefore any moral positions they take will be viewed as immoral, meaning they should never take any moral stands ever.
It doesn't matter what I have decided. Ask any random person what they think of a Pelosi or Schummer (outside of the elite liberal enclaves of course). So it is best if their kind don't touch this issue. Let the people see what is happening. If elections are decided by independent voters, this is the chance for Dems to get them, by keeping themselves away from this issue. The tribes don't need any convincing. Both tribes.

If I ask any random person what they think of Pelosi or Schummer and they are going to look at me with a blank face and ask what I'm talking about. The average person would have to be reminded of who they are. You think they really know enough to have an opinion? They keep getting reelected so they are not as poorly thought of as you seem to think.
And, uhh, where is the GOP leadership? Hiding. They have to do it that way because they depend on the deplorables to stay in office.
They are in fear. I think George Will makes a good point. It is not a cult as such, it is fear.

Heh. The GOP base has become a cult of Trump. And it's been decades of GOP propaganda leading them to it. Lots of people tried to dissuade them from crazifying their base to that extent but they wouldn't listen. It's how they wedge issued their way into holding power, time & time again, spreading the FUD as cover for their top down class warfare agenda.
Trump stepped up & snatched it away from them by running one of the greatest cons in history. The base is his, heart & soul. If the GOP hadn't softened people's brains quite so thoroughly they never would have been nearly so susceptible.
I agree pretty much with everything what you say. The base itself is just about the characteristics of a cult - with a messiah who will lead them to the promised land. The R leaders themselves, being politicians with no sense of any value except self interest, are cowering in fear of the vile one, because he has taken over the party. So in that sense Will seems right to me.
Democrats knew it is a legal and lawful things to do, that why they use the approach of inhuman
He's right, to a point. Deliberate cruelty isn't necessarily illegal. Leaving the option open tells us a lot about the character of those who employ it, however.Thanks for chiming in to let everyone know how ignorant you are on the subject.

Obama didn’t seem to have that problem either. I have nothing to apologize for. Keep on rationalizing.
