What were people expecting from Abbott? A standing ovation? It is all political posturing. However Biden was very slow to respond to the problem there. I like the new plan but it is a year late.

Spaztecs Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 It's not really that bad. Normally, the aides handle the exchange of position/policy paperwork. He just wanted a photo op. Not even close to Trump photo bombing and his hogging the micro phone to pimp his Policy positions at International Conferences. That is one President that should have stayed home.

Going is symbolic that there’s concern and attention being paid to the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FresnoFacts Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The GOP bullet point that was circulated must have been "use the words photo op". As if Republicans themselves have never gone to the border to look good. Many more "photo op" comments from the GOP out there yesterday and today. No originality in the GOP comments.

It's all just posturing and manipulation. Neither side is really interested in resolving the border crisis. Build a wall? Does nothing. Amnesty doesn't do anything either. Comprehensive immigration reform is what is needed, but there's no money in a cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're wrong. I rail against government in general, especially our bipartisan broken system. I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings when it's Democrats screwing things up instead of the Republicans.

The point I was making was that when Dems do bad shit you have no problem calling them out, explicitly, AS THEY SHOULD BE. When Republicans do bad shit, on the other hand, you become an embarrassing coward and just fall back on meek, “well both sides are bad….” rhetoric. You are afraid to even criticize GOP politicians by name, SAD! It’s an anonymous forum, you don’t need to be so afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does nothing but people get all triggered when one of them goes an extended period of time without visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
