76 migrant women stuffed inside ”dangerously overcrowded’ cell designed to hold 12 on US border

There is nothing evil in them at all. Unless you have a warped sense of evil.

1. "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people."
3. "Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
8. "Keep the pressure on."
9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside."
12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

So tell me which are evil.

Remember that in the 60s and 70s all that was needed to cross the border (North or South) in either direction was to say you were a citizen of the destination, if driving produce a drivers license and respond to "Do you have anything to declare?"

Well, the House won't allocate the money to expand the detention centers, what do you expect?

That never stopped him from finding funding for those things he wants to do. How about doing something that needs to be done?

The border wall needs to be done. It's Congress that's making it impossible.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

You mean the Republican Congress. Prior to the last election rage Republicans had a majority in both Houses. Even now they have a majority in the Senate.

A solution to the overcrowding at ICE detention facilities will require Trump and Congress to work together, which is unlikely to happen. Democrats want to rein in ICE's recent enthusiasm for arresting law-abiding illegals with deep community ties and for holding asylum applicants, but they have only blunt tools for influencing Trump, who has ultimate control over ICE. The House does have control over the number of ICE beds through funding, so that's what the House is doing by refusing to expand ICE bed funding.But the overcrowding at ICE detention facilities is not the fault of Congress. Trump caused the overcrowding by forcing reductions on "apprehension and release." Applicants for asylum used to be released on their own recognizance after a hearing date had been set. According to ICE statistics, the vast majority of asylum applicants show up for their hearings. But now ICE is trying to hold as many asylum applicants as it can, and that's what is causing the overcrowding.Congress does have a say on immigration, both through law and funding. If Trump wants to change the way immigration laws are enforced then he will have to work with Congress. But Trump has been reluctant to work with even a Republican Congress, which it was until January of this year when the Democrats gained control of the House. The overcrowding at ICE facilities caused by Trump policies existed long before that and could not possibly be the fault of Democrats. Even the formerly Republican House did not provide more ICE bed funding.--PercyEdited by Percy, : Grammar.

You negotiate to strike a deal. But Trump doesn't negotiate, He only knows how to bully.What attempts has the administration made to convince the House? None.

Yes, "My way or the highway" is not negotiation.Negotiation means there's something you're willing to give up in order to reach a mutually agreeable compromise.

Yuck, what sickening Trump bashing. If there's one thing Trump does well it's negotiating. You think Mexico would be easily bullied? Well, if they are then Trump succeeded by bullying. That's successful negotiating too, to know your target well enough to know what they'll accept.What a bunch of sickening Trump bashing.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I see you don't believe in negotiation either.How many deals has Trump successfully negotiated while in office? Maybe one?

From Saturday's New York Times: New Election Security Bills Face a One-Man Roadblock: Mitch McConnellThe article describes the continuing vulernability of US elections to foreign interference, the (Democratic) House's attempts to pass legislation to remedy this, and the (Republican) Senate's utter lack of action to deal with the issue.Some Senate Republicans would like to take up this issue, and there is bipartisan support in the Senate for some legislation: The problem is Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's intransigence on refusing to deal with this issue. Given the Republicans' alleged concern over election security, why would McConnell not want to allow legislation to be enacted? Because he's a complete fuck, but you already knew that. More detailed: -This isn't limited to just election security, though. Friday's New York Times describes how little is being done in the Senate at all. Tariff Threats Aside, the Senate Is Where Action Goes to DieEvidently McConnell is less interested in governing than in stuffing the courts with political hacks.Edited by Chiroptera, : Typos.

In related news a security researcher discovered that North Carolina’s board of Election placed sensitive data into Amazon’s cloud - and left it publicly visible on the internet. This is not even a default setting - someone had to grant access to “everyone”. At best this is a hideous mistake which should never have been made. Twitter thread
