How do you explain AOC's hysterical irrational behavior?

[BSM1]

And that is a Christian response to this-- name-calling? How pathetic.

No, the non-Christian response would have had something like %^**--*! preceding the idiot part.

Is it too late to introduce some facts into this thread, or is it beyond clarification and redemption?

Waaaay too intellectual, even for you.

Ya, as my rubber ducky died many decades ago, so I'm sorta out of the loop-- er, I mean out of the water.

But how do you know which AOC was talking about? And what's your source to back up your statement?

Morning Edition, today. All Things Considered, BBC, The Guardian, and numerous other, less widespread sources.

@The Reverend Bob , indubitably. I was just wondering if I should shake my head and save my efforts for another thread.

AOC is a young and idealistic college graduate whose impressionable young mind was no doubt skewed by her left leaning professors which she parrots and is most likely a foundation on which she has built her life around. When the taught realities and perceptions don't play out in the real world you have a lashing out since the fragile world she believed in just isn't reality. Give her twenty years, she will be a republican yet!

 

[shmogie]

And that is a Christian response to this-- name-calling, which responsible parents teach their kids not to do? How utterly pathetic.

Thank you for being such a righteous judge, your infallibility amazes me. No wonder God has chosen you as his representative judge on earth.

How many children do you think are participants in this forum ? There are some adults who revert to childhood at times, even you, your spiritual excellency, speak ex cathedra as a child once in a while.

Names, as you call them, on a computer screen, typed, about a known politician, meant for a certain restricted number of participants, are hyperbole used to magnum emphasize particular characteristics.

They are words your excellency, not profane, but they clearly describe the politician in question, who makes idiotic statements as frequently as Wimpy wants a hamburger.

Please forgive me, because your judgement makes me laugh, and really means nothing to me.

Your excellency, I think judging the world has really tired you out. I thank you for volunteering to do this, but you are beginning to get too many birds on your antenna.

Maybe your boss will give you some leave time, to just be a regular human for a while. You can always take your crown and ermine cape up again, and give us hell, especially me, since I seem to be the joyous target of your righteous judgements quite often. If it makes you feel better, go for it.

 

[shmogie]

But is it true?
Are people being housed in cells with no running water save that in the toilet? What about the reports of detainees being housed in rooms with no toilet at all except a drain in the middle of the room?

Some of the detention facilities are not designed as such, so don't have the facilities you'd expect in a proper prison, and all seem overcrowded.

These facilities were designed to temporarily house those waiting for deportation, they were never designed to house hordes of families, they are all chock full, because of our stupid immigration laws which are laughed at by other countries.

The bartender and her homies were against, and voted no on the bill to throw more billions to care for illegal aliens.

Whoa! Hold on there, Shmogie. You didn't really drag "other countries' opinions regarding what goes on in the U.S." into your wheelbarrow, did you? Good Lord, you did!!! To what end? You don't seriously think U.S. citizens should allow world opinion to influence our internal legislation governing our treatment of each other and undocumented immigrants? This is 2019! Trump is our president; Mitch McConnell maintains a stranglehold on the Senate and what bills he will allow to come up for a vote.

What Mitch won't let come up for a vote won't get to Trump's desk for a signature. What Trump swears he won't sign won't get to his desk without a whole lot of arm-twisting.

You say AOC and her homies were against and voted no on the bill to throw more billions to care for legal aliens. Are you complaining or gloating? Since your off-cuff assessment and summation of immigration bills, funding for the care of illegal aliens under detention, and of AOC herself is woefully brief, it seems pretty clear to me that whatever you're doing, it exhibits minimal interest in facts and rational and reasonable argument.

Here, let's start with Bills About Immigration. No, ... wait! Better yet, I'm going to start a brand new thread that focuses on the specific law that you referred to, and let's see where the facts regarding that bill take us.

 

[Valjean]

In the report, border patrol argues that these conditions are necessary to stem the flow of migrants to the United States.

...the report clearly outlines that the poor conditions thousands are facing at the hands of the U.S. government are actually the desired outcome.

...maintaining horrible conditions at border patrol facilities is necessary to deter immigrants from coming to the United States.

Homeland Security admits it’s using abhorrent conditions at detention centers to deter migration

'They were laughing at us': immigrants tell of cruelty, illness and filth in US detention

To what end did I bring up immigration law in Australia, NZ, Canada and other countries and their laughing at us ? Because they have modernized their immigration system so they are beneficial to the citizenry as well as the immigrant.

They have merit based immigration, they have health standards for entry, they have eliminated chain migration, they require that an immigrant be able to support themselves, and not be wards of the state, things are system does not address. Further, the find amusing that we spend billions every year as handouts for immigrants, yet turn them loose before adjudication, and most disappear never to be heard from again.

I am pointing out the hypocrisy of certain democrat politicians who whine about the care these immigrants get, but wanted a poison pill in the legislation to finance more aid, so it wouldn´t pass.

I know the facts, so I look forward to your thread. She claimed people had to drink water from toilets, check that fact out too.

YAY! I was wondering when somebody was going to notice just how much commentary has been made without a single effort to ascertain some actual facts about the situation. Consider that a Winner.

DHS Inspector General Finds 'Dangerous Overcrowding' in Border Patrol Facilities

Overcrowding? I don't see any overcrowding. LOL! DHS Inspector General? Oooo! that title sounds important.

... She claimed people had to drink water from toilets, check that fact out too.

Google search: the source seems to be claims by detainees that the sink portion of the sink-toilet combination device wasn't working.

Your response above doesn't surprise me one iota, so let me just finish off that when I read what you say and then remember what Jesus taught, there's no match.

He taught "love one another", and his Sermon On the Mount and his Parable of the Sheep & Goats demanded compassion for those in need especially, but what you continue to show is a willingness to just blow off his teachings.

You have made your own bed, but that "bed" is in opposition to the basic love and compassion that Jesus taught, and that's truly unfortunate. Maybe reread the Sermon On the Mount and then think about your actions here at RF.
