    a President sticks foot in mouth again

    “Those People Will Pay”: Did Biden Just Prejudice the Border Investigation?

    https://jonathanturley.org/2021/09/...iden-just-prejudice-the-border-investigation/

    excerpt

    Many in the media, including on National Public Radio, have already reported as fact that the Border patrol agents were “whipping” migrants in the now familiar pictures. However, critics and agents have objected that the media is using still pictures and not the video that shows agents using their long reins to control the horses who were jittery near the water’s edge with people around them. The photographer himself says that the still photos are misleading and that he did not see any agent whipping any migrant.

    Nevertheless, the call for an investigation was the right move particularly after Democratic leaders and Vice President Kamala Harris objected to the images as reminiscent the abuse of slavery.

    Biden however announced both findings as well as the intended punishment before the investigation reached any conclusions:

    “To see people treated like they did, horses barely running over, people being strapped – it’s outrageous. I promise you, those people will pay. There will be an investigation underway now and there will be consequences. There will be consequences.”
    Presidents long resisted pressure to get them to comment on pending cases or investigations to avoid charges of undue influence or bias in the results. This is one such case. It was wrong for Biden to say what he did in promising punishment for agents before any investigation is complete. It sends a message to investigators about the expected conclusions of their work. It also suggests that a finding of no whipping or wrongdoing would contradict the President and would not be supported by the White House. That could present serious career issues for investigators. It is unfair to the agents. It is unfair to the investigators and it undermines the integrity of the investigation.

    I say equip our border patrol with bull whips to send a message, cattle prods too, then increase the number of horses, and give them heavy weapons to deter the invasion happening. Do not let people waltz across a border. It should be defended with near lethal and occasionally lethal force as needed until they get the message. If it was a few I wouldn't say this, but because of the dire circumstances which have evolved into a full scale invasion, it's time to use more persuasive means. Historically violence is the only way to enforce this sort of situations if you aren't willing to build a wall. The problems is we have cowards littering society who don't have the stones to defend us because they are more worried about image.

    I have yet for anyone to state what the mounted Border Patrol agents did that was wrong.

    Biden our leader would never take a picture with the people defending the borders of his country

    It's not clear if Biden has ever even been to the Southern border.

    Likely has never been; not during his crisis at least.

    He is more interested in punishing red states and shifting them demographically. Or I should say his handlers. He isn't calling the shots at this point. He wanders the White House crapping his pants and being told when and where to speak, and then who to talk to, what to say off the cue cards, and then they cut his mic.

    Are we going to keep this dead parrot act up?

    Ride a horse western style apparently. We should equip them with real whips for improved speed and force them to ride English style.

    So migrant workers who work in our farms and the back of our restaurants are the enemy?
