You're trying to get me to say Obama was bad? Yeah, he was. Locking up the unaccompanied Central American kids and incentivizing Mexico to deter migration behind the scenes while putting on a sympathetic face was bad.

That doesn't change the fact that "Orange Man" is in charge now, and is exacerbating the bad policy, AND is encouraging people to hate on top of it. His people are ripping kids out of their parent’s arms. He’s rallying white supremacists, calling entire ethnicities rapists and entire countries shitholes.

You’re looking for excuses to pin the pinheaded totalitarian’s decisions on someone else. It’s always someone else’s fault in MAGAland.

I keep looking for excuses?

Let's recap:

I blamed the Motel 6 policy on the local ICE satrap. No you said, that is amazing mental acrobatics, it is Orange Man's fault. I point out the policy started out under Obama. You change the subject to the Border and accuse me of trying to pin Obama's policy on Obama. I never mentioned the Border, that was you changing the subject.

Wouldn't it been easier to just admit you didn't read the article carefully and you didn't notice the dates?

Maybe in your land admitting a mistake isn't allowed, perhaps there is this fear that it diminishes the Badness of Orange Man.
