Title: Open - shut - open
Post by: Hawkmoon on February 09, 2018, 09:08:08 AM
Annnnnnnd ... the government is shut down open.

And Nancy Pelosi is upset about the dreamers.

Now she wants an open debate on DACA. Which is what there should be -- a debate about DACA. The debate about DACA should not be tied to or held hostage by debates on the budget, the military, social (in)security, the mating habits of African Tsetse flies, or anything else. If the Congress wants to debate DACA, they should debate DACA. But I don't think Ms. Pelosi really wants an open debate on DACA. She and her cohorts will find some other issue to tie it to so there can't be a truly open discussion just on DACA.

Immediate thread veer: I'm tired of people making up "woke" crap that their kids or grandkids said. There are entirely too many six year old reincarnations of famous historical philosophers roaming our lands.

Too close to the truth to be funny.  Or even a question.
