You claim to be a Libertarian. That's what they do. (support breaking the law)

Mmmmm.no. Libertarian’s support changing the law. But I would describe myself as an independent, pragmatic version of a libertarian. Libertarianism is ultimately too idealized to achieve its goals.

And in case you missed the point, to suggest that a person of color has some level of obligation to go back to the country of their ethnic heritage smacks of racism - as it suggests that they are somehow less entitled to the benefits of being American than a white person, such as the President’s own wife. This guy is a piss poor representative of our country and racists love him for saying things like this.

So he’s racist for calling out other racists. Got it.

You must be a criminal because you don’t support the rule of law.

You’re a racist for comparing the ICE raids to the holocausr.

See how that works.

Of course. Your tenets are ever changing based on what MSM is spewing. You are a 180 from pragmatic unless it involves your personal finances.

I don’t really follow the MSM that closely. But if the MSM is saying what I am saying, then it is probably because it is true.

Then why are you against ICE enforcing the LAW.. They are going after people who have had their due process in courts and have orders to be deported. That's the law.

I have a problem with politicians politicizing criminal enforcements of individuals. A mass enforcement rollout was designed to make a splash with a voting base. It was about a symbolic boogeyman and the parallels to Hitler are kind of hard to ignore.

Based upon friends of mine who are Border Patrol officers and DHS tell me that there is a crisis at the border, I tend to believe them and not CNN when they say it's a made up or symbolic boogeyman. They have more credibility as far as I'm concerned.

As far as politicians politicizing criminal enforcements of individuals, I have a problem with politicians politicizing the ignoring of laws. They all swore an oath to uphold the law when they took office. Yet they are using these people as political pawns to try to gain sympathy. They truly don't care about these people coming here other than they are potential votes one day.

Trump needs an enemy. He doesn’t know how to operate without one.

What good did it do to have a splashy “Raid day” rather than ordinary consistent ICE enforcement? It is all about optics and symbolism.

Sorry, Republicans have ceded the right to talk about ignoring the law or the rule of law when they refuse to hold Trump accountable to the law. Republicans only want to use the law against minorities.
