The politically active ones are the ones that have the "real soft power" in this nation, yes. Generally that tends to be celebrities & business luminaries & diplomats, at least around here. They tend to be non-ideological in nature and mostly just react to things that happen in the news either positively or negatively.
People, even folks in the GOP, tend to be in two camps: either they hatefully attack the prez constantly about stuff that doesn't matter that much, or they are a little too deferential to the president. These folks should use their positions to promote their agenda & meet the needs of their constituents. Remember, Trump was not a "hardcore conservative" even ten years ago, & I think that he only ran as a member of the GOP so that he could get elected. There are a lot of people who are upset about these tariffs so representatives & legislators need to get in touch with their congressmen & make them criticize the prez more often for not doing his job well enough. OUCH!

I guess I get that the purpose of the tariffs is to cut costs & get rid of the vendor that is the least profitable to the US, but we must think of the nation as a COUNTRY, not a COMPANY. That is not an effective way of governance that works & makes sense. I guess the whole "try to degrade the president" thing doesn't make a ton of sense to me - must be an American thing I suppose because people in the EU tend to be more interactive in their politics: they try to cut deals, make plans, use critical thinking, etc. People in America just straight up insult the president harshly. Now they are being hurt with tariffs that are cutting their profits. What a surprise but it sort of seems like it's their own fault a little bit. The tariffs favor successful domestic industries & are endorsed by "home companies" that have a lot of political lobbying influence (but not too much).

He knows who elected him, and that’s basically it. He throws bones to pro-life. He is more sympathetic to Israel than Palestine. He’s cut regs.
The rest is just Trump gut instinct and who talked to him last.
The big problem for elected Republicans is that Trump is all about loyalty. You can’t be tough on Trump and keep in his good graces (generally speaking). Look at what happened to Stanford when he tried a ‘tough love’ approach. Everybody wants to avoid notice or support something Trump’s already in favor of or leaning toward. Trump’s favorability is way higher than any other Republican as well.

I also don't think it is policy that children of illegals need to be brought to another state, nor have I suggested that. I also bet that in whatever few examples you have of this happening, the other state the child is taken to happens to be adjacent to the state their parent is in.

Because it provides the same answer to the same question.
The question was "Was this separating of families of illegal aliens happening under Obama?" Plansix told me no. The line I quoted says that it was happening under Obama. The line YOU quoted says it was happening under Obama. There have also recently been fake stories and viral tweets (by CNN contributor(s)) of pictures of children locked in cells that we quickly found out were from 2014, so for someone to tell me that this never happened under Obama is quite the bold claim.
I'm open to hearing additional context and reasoning behind these policies, but I get annoyed by deceit and deflection.

Because it didn't happen under Obama? I don't know what "this" you're referring to, but if you're attempting to do some all encompassing absolute that "tell me children were never ever separated from parents under Obama", okay, take your internet kudos or something.
There are legitimate and justifiable reasons to separate children from parents. Medical reasons, child abuse, etc. And that's not even discussing border crossers or immigrants. I would've hoped that such points could be skipped over as standard fact.

You said "their story sounds different" to P6's post.
The article says many are planning to seek asylum. Actually, about a third of the article is about asylum seekers.
I also wasn't sure what else you were claiming was different in the story, so I corroborated that this due to policy changes made by Sessions.

i really hope Justin Trudeau employs the tactics his father employed when Pierre Elliott Trudeau was dealing with Nixon.. Even if Justin does this... I don't think Justin has 10% of the intellect of his father. That said, P.E.T.'s approach was pragmatic and pure gold.
In particular Pierre Trudeau refused to be labelled...
"i'm not a protectionist.. i'm not a nationalist.. i'm not an isolationist... i just want the best deal for Canada.. lets make the best deal we can together... even if the rest of the world hates you ( meaning USA//Nixon) ... we want to make a good deal".

He continues to demanding we produce information for one of the current top news stories. Just reading the news about the subject would clear up that the policy was recently signed by Jeff Sessions.

Surely you're not buying the conspiracy theory that Trudeau doesn't have eyebrows, are you?
That dark thing that sometimes appears behind an opaque object in the opposite direction to the light source, that's called a shadow.

During a G7 summit speech Trudeau made, there were some people saying Trudeau was wearing fake eyebrows because the shadows made it seem like the eyebrow was tilted, like it was glued on improperly. Unsurprisingly turned into fodder for the right who joked about him being as fake as his eyebrows, a ninny who is all show and no talk, etc.

That's insane. That would be like trying to imply the First Lady is really a man because she has muscles in her arms, or that the President is a Muslim seeking to instate Shariah Law because he had mustard on his sandwich that one time.

It was believable, given the absolutely bonkers photos. That’s if we’re being honest about appearances.
But hey, if that was just shadows as people say now, then my bad.

Yeah 
Maybe Merkel or subordinates can coordinate a response that includes Canada.

I don't think the factuality of this is really the issue, the problem here is: why are you participating in political discourse that is concerned with the authenticity of Justin Trudeau's eyebrows? Is this politics in the age of Trump?

It's clearly more important to some than the fact that immigrant children, fleeing active endangerment to their life, are being ripped from their parent's arms, as their parents are sent back to the very danger they were trying to get away from, and the child gets lost in an uncaring immigration system. Honestly, which would you focus on, destroyed families? Or someone's eyebrows? Clearly, the priorities are obvious.

I just think Trumps making it exceedingly easy for Trudeau to grow support domestically. Surely you're not buying the conspiracy theory that Trudeau doesn't have eyebrows, are you? That dark thing that sometimes appears behind an opaque object in the opposite direction to the light source, that's called a shadow. What is this conspiracy theory? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/justin-trudeaus-eyebrow/During a G7 summit speech Trudeau made, there were some people saying Trudeau was wearing fake eyebrows because the shadows made it seem like the eyebrow was tilted, like it was glued on improperly. Unsurprisingly turned into fodder for the right who joked about him being as fake as his eyebrows, a ninny who is all show and no talk, etc. It was believable, given the absolutely bonkers photos. That’s if we’re being honest about appearances. https://twitter.com/dailycallout/status/1005836637673345025But hey, if that was just shadows as people say now, then my bad.

Video editing software exists and that video looks fake as fuck.

In the same way you called Trump a “discount Caesar” without seriously implying he had studied the classics and was trying imitation.
How did Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the world’s favorite liberal mascot — a feminist man, with movie-star good looks, a 50 percent female cabinet and a political lexicon that has replaced “mankind” with “peoplekind” (making millions swoon) — end up looking silly, diminished and desperate on his trip to India this week?
Trudeau’s eight-day India expedition has been an absolute fiasco.
I spoke of signifiers of the greater whole. You of all people should know this also from your past discussion of “white Scandinavian dogwhistles.”
