Trump finally gives live interview. Goes about as one might expect it did.

He lied his ass off. Same old lies, same old grievances.

Of course he did also say that the entire J6 committee should be jailed,

And that he plans to deport American citizens during his upcoming cleansing of America. (My words, not his)

Here we go again. Again.

Actually, he said this:

“It depends on the family,” Trump said, adding later: “If they come here illegally but their family is here legally, then the family has a choice. The person that came in illegally can go out, or they can all go out together.”

Easy-peasy and exactly how it should be.

Which means he’s going to deport American citizens. Trump’s ready to send anybody with illegal relatives back to wherever he thinks they came from. Even if they’re from here.

We see the same words.

So American citizens can be forced to choose between their families and their homes. That’s not a choice is it?

That’s EXACTLY what it says.

That’s EXACTLY what it means.

That’s EXACTLY what y’all want.

“Forced” is the word. You want to be picking at that one, budman. It leaves choice right out of the equation.

Word games for a change..

You can always choose to hijack a thread, after all. But nobody will force you.

The family can CHOOSE to stay in the US or they can CHOSE to accompany the person who came illegally to where they’re going. They’re not “forced” to do anything.

And they can’t choose to do neither. So they are forced to choose their family or their rightful home in America. Families will be ripped apart.

Additionally, Trumpf is ending birthright citizenship.

Not a choice.

Dreamers may get a pass, which will piss off Trump’s base, but look at the interview.
If I read your news sources I would actually get dumber every day. They lie all the time and slant stories to cover up the truth. You believe the lies

YR, just because you don't like the choices doesn't mean you don't have a choice.

How the immigration issue is handled is probably one of those things that's best to just wait and see what happens. Hopefully it is handled humanely and with compassion but listening to that border czar guy, that's probably me being a little too optimistic about a serious matter that has no effect on me and mine. If it did, I'd probably be scared shitless if I was them.
