Expose the GOP's fetish

Rightwing word-power

If immigrants are being apprehended and detained at the border, that means they didn’t get away with breaking federal immigration law.

The law is working as it’s supposed to.

Ergo, there is no border crisis.

If the border patrol is seizing drugs and contraband at the border, then law enforcement officers are doing what they should. So … what crisis?

Among liberals, the question appears to be: Why do Republican propagandists keep saying there’s a crisis at the border when the evidence they present to prove a border crisis proves the opposite?

I don’t think anyone is satisfied, because virtually no one has gone beyond the fact that claims of a border crisis are self-evidently bunk.

How are any of those things "pro-life?"

They despise all life except white cishet males who agree with their religio-authoritarian views, and fetuses (for some bizarre reason).

"Watch what they do, not what they say."

She's repeated this message over and over again. But then, she's always known how to get to the truth.
