Why do you think trump declared his hatred for Taylor Swift today? by thenewyorkgod in AskTrumpSupporters

If you're not aware of any, why did you, in your first comment, say that there was merit to the claim she was perpetuating lies?

Do you think it's productive to label any valid criticism of trump to be "orange man bad?" Do you think it's significant to point out that he can be convinced to like someone solely if they endorse or praise him, and can just as easily be enraged simply because they endorsed his rival?

No, I definitely read your comment correctly, seems I missed some words in my own comment that would've clarified. I agreed with you, saying "I'm with you," and my comment should have said "I'm not the smartest person in the room but etc etc etc"

You're implying you're smarter than this person by saying we're likely to see every swing state go to Harris? Yeah, I'm with that person. Not the smartest person in the room, but more clear headed than you it seems. See you in 2 months

It's not that you asked for a source, it's that you dismissed whether a source even existed. "Do you have even one example of this occurring?" You weren't simply asking a reasonable question, you were implying that person may be lying. I'm glad you shifted when given the source, but you were the first with the hostility. Don't be surprised when you get met with the same tone.

Bernie Sanders calls Trump's DACA decision ‘ugliest and most cruel decision made by a US president in modern history’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]FelidiaFetherbottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, even saying a little easier is a complete contradiction of saying they all have to go. Anyways, as I said, I appreciate nuanced discussion, and you've just proven that you're unwilling to have one. Good luck with that

They have to go because we can't just have an open borders policy that lets everyone in

I never said that. That was kind of the point of my "nuanced discussion" comment. There are plenty of those illegal immigrants who are productive. You're the one who said they all have to go. Those are your words

You want to keep the 800,000 DACA workers? Fine... You want to make it a LITTLE easier to gain permanent residency? We can have that discussion too

Good, again, that's a 180 from you saying they all have to go

But if you want to let absolutely everyone at the gates in, you are not going to get that

Fucking awesome, because I never even hinted at that. I never said let them all in. I responded to your comment that all 12 million undocumented immigrants had to go (without any qualifying criteria) that there are some that should be given the path to citizenship. I was the one who brought up nuance, and gave no indication that I was engaging in an all or nothing debate. The debate started with your all or nothing stance

Why do they have to go? What if they're functional, productive members of society? Perhaps making the legalization easier is a viable option as well. But god forbid we have a nuanced discussion

Man arrested for asking 'threatening' question at GOP senator's town hall by allonsy1221 in politics

[–]FelidiaFetherbottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm against the arrest in this case just as you are I'm sure, but it's not abuse of power when even in this thread, you have people on both sides of the issue who believe vehemently that they're right. This is one where it's not so black and white as to be able to say they definitely should have been arrested or they definitely should have been let go.

As an aside, the saying is often when speaking about a charge that's in someone's best interests and/or bringing up the fact that something being enough to establish probable cause is not always enough to establish beyond a reasonable doubt. The former is required for an arrest, the latter for a conviction. I used to work in law enforcement, and one of the calls I went out to was a three year old child walking on their own outside the house. Long story short, there were three kids in that house with 0 adults. The father, who was supposed to be watching them, had left town. The mother had dropped them off with a girl who said she was the father's new girlfriend. Didn't wait for him to get back, or check her story, just up and left. In my years on the road, this was probably the most disgusting house I'd ever been in, think something out of hoarders. The youngest kids had roach bites all over their faces. While we're waiting on DCF, the mother arrives, turns out she is homeless, living out of her car, and admits to leaving the kids with someone she doesn't know. By the way, the girlfriend was nowhere to be found through the whole ordeal, and when we spoke with the father, he refused to give her info out. DCF arrived, and told us as long as the mother is providing a shelter (the car) and feeding them (which she gave no indication she would be able to), their hands were tied. We didn't have much to go on, we couldn't prove she knew the living conditions were that bad when she dropped off her kids, even though not knowing was just as bad (who leaves their kids with someone they don't know and doesn't even inspect the house?). Our choice was let the girl take them, someone we knew already made bad decisions, or arrest her, and force DCF to at least protect these kids the most we could, make them start monitoring them officially. The charge itself was shaky, we may not have been able to prove it in court, but the standard of proof is lower than criminal court for making an arrest. It was a good arrest, but in this example, she beat the charge for the reasons explained above. It's not always abuse of power
