Biden administration exits talks over compensating families separated at border

I believe Biden used the term "garbage" to describe the payments, but he probably wanted to say "bullshit."
Is it possible for you to reply without resorting to logical fallacies?

What are you lying about? You don't recall Biden's "garbage" comment on how payments would encourage illegal immigration?

For the third (or fourth) time, all this ranting and raving is premature. It's a fact.

Can you provide the quote in context please.

Thanks @JMB802....that is how I recalled hisbremarks......" garbage" was in relation to Fox's reporting
 
Uhhh... they broke off negotiations in the hope that a judge will rule against the immigrants. Why else would they not just pay up?

Maybe because the settlement amounts were unacceptable, maybe because the ACLU was negotiating in ad faith, maybe because they had reached an impasse........

In your opinion.

So Biden's stated position is that payments aren't going to happen, and that talking about them will encourage illegal immigration.

Yes, it does seem that Biden found the amounts being negotiated "unacceptable."

After all, how much does he think a brown kid is worth, really?
 
In your opinion.
Yes, people usually go to court in hopes of losing. Is that really your argument?

Why not just pay up?

As mentioned above, the judge deciding for a generous settlement for the children is the best of both worlds for Biden. The children will get the treatment they deserve and the Biden administration gets shielded from criticism from the right for compensating the "illegals".
 
That would be an interesting idea, if it was in any way logical, which it isn't.

Biden has already said that payments "aren't going to happen" and that discussion of payments would only encourage illegal immigration. So it would make no sense to go to court hoping to lose in some 4d chess scheme, after telling people he won't pay, and actually refusing to pay, when he could just pay.
 
You hate Biden. That point is perfectly clear. Everything else is opinion or fairy tales or lies of omission.

Have a great day.

Biden is not the victim, dude...
 
They withdrew from the negotiations... the next step is litigation.
How is that racist...

You could have said thats rainbow frosted flakes and it would have made as much sense
 
If the media hadn't spilled the beans about what the DOJ was planning to pay, the settlement would have happened and nobody would have known until it was a done deal. But when the public found out, the DOJ couldn't continue without the Biden pukes taking a LOT of damage.

Now, it'll be up to the judge. Don't worry. The illegal aliens will STILL get a good payday...just not as much as they thought they would get.

Refusing to pay damages for losing brown children taken into custody is inherently awful.

Do you really think Biden would say payments were "not gonna happen" if the victims had been white?

Biden's border policies and his personal statements display a history of racism; it's not much of a stretch to surmise his same feelings affected this decision.
 
This is weak even for you
 
No, I’m asking how much of your money you want to contribute to reuniting these kids with their parents.

Cute how you think you make enough for anyone to care what you pay in taxes.

We all know where 95% of the money is. No one is looking in your direction.

I am perfectly OK paying more in taxes for beneficial programs, but my wealth is a rounding error compared to, y'know, the billionaires who have been writing our laws.
 
Never presume.
