He also has no idea who the gov of WI is. [/quote]

Oh so no plan to put people in “camps?”

Which one is it, a rambling plan less guy speaking incorrectly about fictional characters, or Hitler reborn with plans to imprison millions of people on American soil for an unspecified reason? [/quote]
Tom Homan was Trump’s director of ICE, authored Project 25, and will be Trump’s DHS director. Here’s his plan as delivered in a keynote speech at the RNC the other night.

If you listen to his entire speech, rather than your carefully selected sound bite, he is saying the CARTELS will be wiped off the face of the earth.  Which sounds good to me.  But do keep peddling misinformation.[/quote]
But the US has no authority to do that, no? That would be like Canada saying they are going after the Bloods and the Crips.[/quote]

I refer you to 20:06.  Please stop being so literal.  No one is declaring war on Mexico.   :roll: [/quote]

Ah ok so it was just another campaign lie.  One of hundreds, spoken throughout the RNC convention.[/quote]

I don't recall anyone saying they were going to "declare war on Mexico."  Just you.  Please post the exact quote you're referring to.[/quote]

DP, but how are we going to wipe cartels located in Mexico "off of the earth" without military action in Mexico. Military action the government of Mexico has said they do not want. [/quote]

Again, I refer you to Tim Kaine’s (D) recent letter:

I also met with the Mexican Consul Generals to talk about how we can [b]strengthen U.S.-Mexico cooperation to combat drug trafficking.[/b] In the Senate, I’ve been working hard on this issue and I’m proud that last year significant portions of my [b]bipartisan Disrupt Fentanyl Trafficking Act were signed into law to direct increased federal attention to fentanyl trafficking and involve Mexico as an active partner to disrupt cartel activity in Mexico.[/b] I also helped pass a [b]supplemental national security funding package that included the FEND Off Fentanyl Act, bipartisan legislation I cosponsored, to strengthen the Treasury Department’s ability to sanction transnational criminal organizations and others that launder money to facilitate opioid trafficking.[/b][/quote]

This is an informative deflection, but still a deflection.

No one is suggesting we just do nothing about the Mexican drug cartels. If that's the standard then we can agree there are bipartisan efforts on this issue and support those efforts.

The issue is that Mexico has stated that it does not want US troops on their soil and yet people like Homan keep suggesting it.[/quote]

He suggested no such thing.  “Wiping cartels off the face of the earth” is hyperbole that most people understand.  There are ways to wipe out cartels that don’t involve war.  Most people grasp what he was getting at.[/quote]

You Republicans are CONSTANTLY having to explain that Trump didn't mean exactly what he said. How do you live with that kind of cognitive dissonance? Why do you want a leader who doesn't say what he means? Who talks in "hyperbole"?  Does he not mean he's going to immediately round up 11 million migrants and send them off...somewhere that will accept them? Anyone who deals in logistics knows that is just a ridiculous thing to propose. Is that a hyperbole then?

Can we trust him when he says he's not going to pursue a national abortion ban, or is that also hyperbole that we can disregard, knowing he will in fact pursue it?

When does he speak in hyperbole and when does he say the truth, which is what you always would say was appealing about him? Get your stories straight.[/quote]

DP.  Spare us all your lectures about needing to explain what is really meant.  Remember smug liberals sniffing that we “just didn’t understand” what Defund the Police meant and that you would explain it to us - over and over, ad nauseam?  Democrats are (unfortunately) masters of idiotic catchphrases that then have to be walked back because they don’t mean what they were meant to mean.  Maybe work on your own messaging before sanctimoniously telling Republicans to.[/quote]
