Isn't there something that in "secret facebook group" says most people agree to what is being said ? That people voluntarily got into that group and let these messages pass on, for how long again ?

Please allow me to alleviate your confusion.

Other members of Congress obviously made the same mistake AOC did in erroneously believing that people who might have been drinking out of the sink on top of the integrated sink-toilet unit were instead drinking from the toilet, when they actually weren't. They were drinking out of the sink.

There are a lot of stupid people in Congress. AOC is not alone in that regard. She's just exceptionally stupid in her own right.

We are happy to have been of service in clearing up this misunderstanding.

Do you agree with everything said on this forum? My guess is no.

And let's be real -- these folks working the centers and the border are proving to be anything but the cream of the crop.

9,000 belong to that 'secret' group where they mock and celebrate the dead people. That represents about 45% of the folks that work the border/centers. That's a high number of idiots.

No -- it isn't Trump's fault.

But -- it doesn't look good for him and his administration.

He has to find someone that can 'fix' it properly. So far The White House has not handled any of this well.

Last time they sent Melania in to show her concern and she chose to end the visit with that "I don't care do U" jacket which detracted from the whole 'we really do care about the kids' vibe they were trying to send.
Yes I know she was trying to send a message to the 'press'...wrong time for that message, definitely inappropriate. She could have worn that jacket any other time...but she chose a 90 degree day in Houston on a trip to show how much she cared. Dumb.

This White House is awful at controlling their message.

They just are.
THANK YOU, sir.

We certainly don't agree on why, how or what, but thank you for saying the obvious :

people shouldn't treat people that way, no matter politics, economics, whatever. It should at least be questionned and investigated.

Bottom of the barrel indeed.... except for those defending them... they should be used as litter.

On this forum ? a lot. Also from the point of view of republicans. I guess your guess was wrong Search if my word is not enough.

On this tread, I agreed with those who found despicable the yoga some need to do to defend this.

Anything I might agree on that I missed ?

Still should be treated with respect but being overwhelmed with a lack of support and funds to do your job can be very trying to say the least.
Okay, problem of words.

I was talking about the thousands of "migrants" that come and die to shore in the mediterreanean sea for ex.

From the article in the first post:

Quote:
A CBP official denied the toilet accusations on Monday, insisting that the locations Ocasio-Cortez visited have standard-issue jail-type appliances with sinks that dispense safe drinking water attached to toilets in a single unit.

“‘No one is drinking toilet water,” the official said. “They’re drinking potable water from the sink attached to the toilet.” It’s what you would find in every municipal jail in the United States.”
AOC is a real piece of work.

Hmmm...
These are economic migrants. And obviously they think the conditions are worth it if it means they get to stay here eventually.
