To make it short and sweet....not only are the migrants using the children as a shield, but so are the media. This, of course, tugs at the heart strings of the left. Gobble, gobble....
Let's change the direction for a moment and get back to President Trumps direct effect on policy decisions. Today the Fed Chairman made a few remarks on future interest rate increases. Trump has been very critical of Jerome Powell and it would seem Trump has gotten into his head, so to speak. Powell may be feeling the pressure when he announced today that rates would increase for December but thereafter they may take a 'pause' in future rate increases. The market immediately responded with a 600 + point increase reflecting investors embracing more risk to be taken in their purchasing. The prospect of one rate increase in December (somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.2 % which is close to the 'neutral' rate which essentially has the least effect on the economy) and a halt in further increases throughout 2019 signals to investors that Powell may have buckled to Trumps criticism which is a rare occurrence for that independent body. Anyone who believes this President has little influence in the market place is just not paying attention, or in the case of the media just not willing to acknowledge it.
Dragoneer.....I completely agree. There will be a stark contrast to reality when the demos return to politics as usual. No leaders, no message, a splintered base, a house divided....(theirs).
Clinton is hedging her bets. She sees the inevitable...Europe lining up against current immigation policy. If it should happen that the European community undergoes a change in policy it makes her look more credible and in order to make another run (hopeless), she needs a more moderate persona.
This is the depth of the Democratic party...possibly from the bottom up. OAC rides in on the 32 trillion dollar Medicare for all healthcare plan, and if anybody believes this nitwit is capable of handling the perplexities of that endeavour, then I got a bridge I'll sell you in Kansas.
Better yet, for lack of ANY plan, any agenda, any legislation that will help the country move forward, the liberal pool of intelligence has set their minds on resurrecting Osamacare, the most regressive economic program and most ineffective piece of legislation that passed in Congress. It was Osama's one legacy and was about as well thought out as Ocasio's election. Liberals are consistent in their ideology as their lack of ideas.
The first prototypes will be test marketed to Democrats/Liberals. Early projections are, using that demographic alone, success can be easily determined using minimal brain waves and pre programming is inherent in that test group. It is hoped that the new TV's will get more than two channels (CNN, MSNBC) and volume control will include 'whining' as well as 'complaining'. California and parts of the East Coast are the initial markets to be tested. No tests will done in Washington, DC.
Lol....snopes, the liberal bible, which is open to just as much interpretation...a fact checker on par with Mother or Mad magazine. You could C&P it in its entirety and still not be subject to copyright infringement....too funny!
President Trump continues to play the demos like a fiddle. Getting Republicans to vote for Pelosi will further divide the already fractured party.
Actually Pelosi may be the only hope for partisanship. Conservatives will provide the ideas and the direction and a few demos will provide the necessary votes. We may not get as much done as we already have, but the country will move forward and not be mired in obstruction. The control switch is entirely in President Trumps hand while the maze the demos seek to construct will be just a bit more circurturous. Bottom line...he keeps winning.
So I'm new to this site, but do you ever write or think for yourself, or merely just copy and paste others opinions which you think reflect yours....Just curious?

We have the Courts, we have the Senate...and we have a President that fights back. Trump will continue to pack the lower courts such that most cases wont even reach SCOTUS. The earliest the Senate could possibly be up for grabs by the Demos is 2026. Judging by the current fracture that exists in the Democratic party, I suspect they will have trouble waging war on two fronts.... within and without. Odds have Trump fulfilling another campaign promise....to keep winning.
Notice how docile and respectful Acosted was to the Secret Service. And of course he recorded it. The guys a flake, not a journalist. CNN's approval rating is at 24% and no wonder. They need an attack dog to stay in the news. MSNBC is at 21% with Mad Cow in the 9 o' clock spot drawing mainly the LGBTQ demographic.
In 2 more years we'll have the House back and in 6 more years the Senate lead will be around 10. And the courts, at least a 6/3 advantage.
The jurists are always the first and last words. President Trump has moved with unmatched speed to replace the lower courts with conservative minds. This will shape the future for the next generation. Its inevitable.
The OP should pick another name. Socrates was the father of Western philosophy, or ethical thought. The only thing these two have in common is the direction.
Now that Trump had succeeded in his most important mandate, that of appointments to the Supreme Court and MORE importantly the lower courts, Democrats are faced with ZERO chances of advancing any political agenda. However they know that ONLY if they win back the House will they be able to try and pack the Courts with more Justices. They'd like to make it 12 and naturally all liberal. But to do that they would need the Senate majority as well and that will not happen.(we will pick up at least 1 more Senate seat). We win the House (and I think we will), they are done. And they know it.
Approval ratings mean nothing to the American people. We see what he's accomplishing despite the fact the media won't report it. He's a lock for a second term and by 2024 we'll have not only the courts, but the learning institutions. The next long overdue correction.
Pocahontas has a closer association to a Jeep than a Cherokee due to this monumental 'backfire'. This gaff effectively eliminates the Demos #1 contender for 2020.....and their search for a 'likeable' contender (Harris....lol) from their party seems hopeless.
