• War or Planefuls of Cash?

    From aaron thomas@1:123/525 to All on Monday, June 17, 2019 23:49:17
    I don't know, what's better for the USA?

    A war with Iran sounds bad, difficult, and very dangerous.

    Cargo planes, loaded with US tax payer currency, delivered to knuckleheads
    who like to attack shipping vessels and already have nuclear weapon capabilities, well that sounds pretty lousy too.

    Do we want Trump to fire up the ol' warplane, or do we want Joe Biden to fire up the ol' Cash Plane?

    A war with Iran sounds bad, difficult, and very dangerous.

    The US should explore a foreign policy which does not include war, it works well as demonstrated in Europe the past 70 years. Irreconcilable foes have become inseparable trading partners.

    Who are "the Iranians" ?

    The distance from Teheran to DC is 6340 mile about ... there's not a single reason for an American force to go there. Give half the money that such an American force would cost and invest it in trade relations with Iran ... they'd
    be very happy those Iranians, it'd cost the American taxpayer a lot less and a couple of thousand body bags needed less.

    But the American industry needs war...

    Your operating from a standpoint that the (U.S.) will be the ones who are going to lose, this is not our nature.
    History has shown again and again that we finish what someone else starts.

    Our military budget is bigger then some of the foreign nations total wealth.

    Perhaps American Intel believes there is a reason for sending the troops, perhaps we do not believe the bold face lies that the Iranians are telling
    the world.

    The Iranian regime supports terror organizations all around the middle east.

    Perhaps we know that they are the ones responsible from firing upon the oil tankers, they can claim all the innocence all they want. They are not the get along neighbor that anyone would want.

    They are a aggressive nation - funding terrorism. Interfering in
    international free waterways, controlling the straight where they have no business doing so. Their bark is nearly a whimper, they need to be
    schooled who the top dog is, because when the (U.S.) Barks, they will submit
    or die trying.

    Without the American might they would become unchecked. You want a totally unchecked Iran, that could effect even where you currently are.

    You should be Thankful that we are there, no one wants war, and no one wants
    a nuclear Iran, but that is something else that they are thumbing their
    nose at the world at.

    It would seem that the President made the right decision
    by pulling out of the deal Iranian Nuclear Deal.

    Hello Ward,

    Your operating from a standpoint that the (U.S.) will be the ones who are >GD>going to lose, this is not our nature.
    History has shown again and again that we finish what someone else >GD>starts.

    This seems like the hallmark of short memories. The War of 1812 was not
    successful (technically the US lost it), you got your asses whipped in New Orleans,

    The British lost 3 generals and 8 colonels, while the Americans
    lost 11 men. IOW, the Americans kicked butt, winning the Battle
    of New Orleans decisively. Had the outcome been different, the
    British never would have honored the Treaty of Ghent.

    you backed Napoleon who got defeated,

    The Louisiana Purchase was a business deal, with President Jefferson
    sending the French an offer they could not refuse. This was more like
    a swindle, as Jefferson did not have the funds to pay the French. He
    had borrowed funds from Lloyd's of London, which the French gladly
    accepted as payment. When it came time to repay the loan, well, that
    is another story.

    you backed the South-Vietnamese regime which became defeated (as was
    yourself),

    JFK made sure Diem never sold the South Vietnamese out.

    the US only joined WW2 after the fortunes of war in Europe had already
    turned against the Nazis,

    The US entered WWII shortly after the events of Pearl Harbor in the
    Pacific, and within the same month in the Atlantic. Long before the
    tide had turned against the Japanese or the Nazis.

    the US did not achieve military (or any other) success in Afghanistan nor
    Iraq nor Iran,

    The British were never able to conquer Afghanistan.
    The Russians were never able to conquer Afghanistan.
    The US was also never able to conquer Afghanistan.

    Aghanistan is not even a country, but more like a tribal area.
    Rudyard Kipling wrote about it long ago. Nothing has changed much
    since his time.

    The US overthrew Saddam Hussein and saw to it that he could never
    return to power. But like Aghanistan, not much has really changed
    in Iraq. Only instead of being led by Sunnis, it is led by Shiites.

    At the end of WWII, Russia invaded part of Iran. Kind of like
    what it did in Ukraine in 2014. But nobody likes to talk about
    that. Certainly not the mullahs who are in power today.

    The Taliban is no longer in charge of Afghanistan. Saddam Hussein
    is history. Usama bin Laden has been fed to the fishes. And the
    mullahs in Iran remain as unpopular today as they were decades ago.

    the Spanish-American war was started on a lie (as was the invasion of Iraq),

    And ended with Spain ceding lots of property to the US.

    that landing at Mogadishu which was a joke and the US are still stuck in
    South Korea,

    Bill Clinton fixed the mess created by Bush41 in Mogadishu, and
    the US remains committed to defending Koreans from anti-democratic
    aggressors from the north.

    the British and Canadians bailed the US out at Omaha Beach or it would have
    been a total carnage...

    Had the US stayed out of WWII and Hitler not allowed the British
    to escape at Dunkirk, there never would have been any resistance in
    France (or anywhere else in Europe). Russia would have had no real
    defense, or the ability to push the Germans out once invaded. The
    world would have belonged to Hitler and his Nazis, with everyone
    speaking German (or Basic German rather than their native language).

    there's more of that.

    Yeah. Huey P. Long would have become President and FDR would have
    retired to New York. An isolationist US would then have handed
    Hitler all of Europe and Russia, and Tojo all of Asia. What a swell
    world that would have been.

    Donald J. Trump is an isolatonist. Just like Huey P. Long.
    The only difference being that Huey P. Long never quite made
    it to become President of the United States.

    Our military budget is bigger then some of the foreign nations total >GD>wealth.

    Your national debt is bigger too than that of the rest of the world
    combined.

    Oh, come now. Venezuela has a bigger national debt than the US.
    So do many other countries. But Venezuela is hardly a military power.
    Or an economic power.

    European nations should pick up the tab for their own defense.
    But that will never happen. Unless Donald J. Trump gets his way.

    Perhaps we know that they are the ones responsible from firing upon the >GD>oil tankers, they can claim all the innocence all they want. They are >GD>not the get along neighbor that anyone would want.

    There's not a shred of evidence Iran was involved at all. Photos? I still
    see Colin Powel sweating at the UN Security Counsel.

    The issue is not Colin Powell. After the events of 9-11, the
    Congress passed the Authorization for the Use of Military Force
    (AUMF), which gave the president all the authority he needed "to
    use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations,
    organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized,
    committed, or aided, the terrorist attacks that occurred on
    September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons."

    This means that if the Trump administration (Trump himself) truly
    believes Iran and al-Qaeda have been in cahoots before or after
    9-11, then it (Trump himself) could claim wr with Iran already is
    authorized by law.

    They are a aggressive nation - funding terrorism. Interfering in >GD>international free waterways, controlling the straight where they have no >GD>business doing so.

    These are all things the USA did and is doing too.

    The USA is a terrorist nation???

    "Ultimately, I'm always right." ~Donald J. Trump

    That comment is terrifying. Especially to children who have
    been separated from their parents. But how does that make the
    USA a terrorist nation?

    in New
    Orleans,

    Actually it was the Brits who had their asses handed to them at New
    Orleans. The British commanding general, Packenham, was killed there.

    you backed Napoleon who got defeated, you backed the South-Vietnamese
    regime which became defeated (as was yourself),

    mainly because the press and leftists in congress wouldn't allow the US
    to do what was necessary. The US could have - and should have IMO -
    executed a "Sherman's March" through NORTH Vietnam.

    the US only joined WW2 after
    the fortunes of war in Europe had already turned against the Nazis,

    Arguable, although Hitler's attack on Russia - absent any support from
    the Western powers - would probably have been successful. Had Hitler
    been able to stop Allied support to Russia through Archangel Russia
    would have been in deep kimchi.

    the US did
    not achieve military (or any other) success in Afghanistan nor Iraq
    nor Iran,

    Our military budget is bigger then some of the foreign nations
    total
    wealth.

    Your national debt is bigger too than that of the rest of the world
    combined.

    And since 1994 has been doubling every eight years.

    It took this country just under 200 years to run up a debt of one
    trillion dollars and about twenty more years to add a second trillion
    to it. As I said, now it doubles about every eight years, although it
    may be going up faster now.

    As a side note the overwhelming majority of US government spending is
    on welfare (vote-buying) programs. Roughly 75% of spending is on those programs and only about 15% is on the military. The interest on the
    national debt is almost half as much as total military spending.

    Your operating from a standpoint that the (U.S.) will be the ones who are going
    to lose, this is not our nature.
    History has shown again and again that we finish what someone else starts.

    In 2003, GWB started a war with Iraq based on false pretenses.
    GWB made the claim "I know stockpiles of WMD exist in Iraq."
    No such "stockpiles of WMD" has ever been found in Iraq by anybody.

    We are still in Iraq. Presumably to find those "stockpiles of WMD"
    that nobody could find. When will we find them? When hell freezes
    over. When will we leave Iraq? Whenever we do, not if, but when,
    one thing is for sure - Iraqis will still be in Iraq.

    Our military budget is bigger then some of the foreign nations total wealth.

    And the USA remains impotent, as it does not have enough young
    people who can fill the ranks, with less than 30% of the population
    within the age group able to meet the standards of enlistment.

    Perhaps American Intel believes there is a reason for sending the troops, >perhaps we do not believe the bold face lies that the Iranians are telling >the world.

    We do not have enough troops to do the job now, and then only
    in the case of small, limited engagements. Russia has the same
    problem, which is why its illegal invasion of Crimea was about
    the largest type of operation it could handle.

    The Iranian regime supports terror organizations all around the middle east.

    Even if true, there is little to nothing we can do about it.
    Sending in the marines is not an option. Nor is nuking Tehran.
    We already have troops in Iraq. And in Afghanistan. And in
    Syria. Just creating a beachhead in Iran would be a problem.

    Perhaps we know that they are the ones responsible from firing upon the oil >tankers, they can claim all the innocence all they want. They are not the
    get
    along neighbor that anyone would want.

    Colin Powell claimed all those things in front of the UN.
    And then the world found out it was all lies.
    Why should anybody believe what is being told to them now?

    They are a aggressive nation - funding terrorism. Interfering in >international free waterways, controlling the straight where they have no >business doing so. Their bark is nearly a whimper, they need to be
    schooled who the top dog is, because when the (U.S.) Barks, they will submit >or die trying.

    Yeah. We've heard it all before. But nobody is buying.

    Without the American might they would become unchecked. You want a totally
    unchecked Iran, that could effect even where you currently are.

    What other countries are calling for war on Iran?
    Japan has called Trump's bluff. European countries
    are being nicer by just asking questions.

    You should be Thankful that we are there, no one wants war, and no one wants
    a nuclear Iran, but that is something else that they are thumbing their
    nose at the world at.

    If no one wants war, then why is Bolton (and Pompeio) rattling Iran's
    cage, with Trump's blessing?

    It would seem that the President made the right decision
    by pulling out of the deal Iranian Nuclear Deal.

    Iran has a nuclear lever, which it will play. Then the world
    will have hell to pay.

    Do I have to say it.... Told ya so.. They can not be trusted.

    Which is why Trump should have honored the six-nation deal with Iran,
    thus keeping them from developing nuclear weapons.

Make no mistake the U.S. has the power and the ability to wipe them off the map, just because we can do something doesn't mean that we should. At the same time Iran needs to understand that they can not be doing things that are aggressive. Iran's future depends on Iran.

    They can start by stopping the chant Death to America.
    That would be a great place to start.

    Had the US stayed out of WWII and Hitler not allowed the British

    Can you give us some more details about what the USA did? The Soviet Union got attacked in June, Pearl Harbor in December. The battle of Stalingrad was won by
    the Soviet Union all alone.

    It's more PC to call the regime "business associates" and it's more pc to
    call terrorists "sanctuary seekers." It's important to keep this is mind when listening to liberals speak.

    The mine is the subject of the news story that I have seen.
    Mine or Missle? I don't think there is any doubt as to was responsible for
    the act of terror.

    Trump is not going appease them buy dropping off $150 Billion dollars at the Iranian tarmac like Obozo did.

    What $150 Billion dollars are you talking about? Do you mean the time that they sent back money that belonged to Iran,

    I heard this before it was their money, whatever if it was or wasn't,
    their behavior since then and continues to be, one of aggression.

    I am sure by now that you have heard about the drone that has been shot down
    by Iran because they claimed that it violated their airspace, the President
    did not strike back with any answered military force, measured or otherwise.
    I also think that the restraint was the right call.

    Even if it is possible to do a measured military response, Iran would have responded with everything that they have and then the U.S. would have to
    squash them, like a bug.

    However it is quite refreshing to see what Trump didn't do. As it turns out this is not the same man that the anti-trump crowd painted him to be because before Trump was elected the left proclaimed him to be a war monger and a man that would lead us to the brink of war. What happened to that? Wrong again?
    but it matters not, they are always wrong about Donald Trump and this is what drives the condition known as the Trump Derangement Syndrome..

    No one died, ju$t a drone.
    If in the future however there is loss of American life, it will be hell unleashed upon Iran, courtesy of the Red White and Blue!

    They got a pass this time, let us all hope that they got the message, but something tells me that nothing was learned. Iran will continue to be just
    as aggressive. Next time they will screw up big, causing carnage and loss of American life. Then the U.S. will end them. Such a waste.

    It is also a fact that Iran has said it's kinda their job to police the area
    and told the Americans to go home.

    How well did Trump's fake attack on Iran go last night?

    Sounds to me like they are a dirty cop and are very much playing both sides
    of the coin.

    Trump claims he called off the attack on Iran 10 minutes before
    he ordered it. IOW, a fake attack that never happened. He lied
    about a lie, claiming two lies make a truth.

    Without the American might they would become unchecked. You want a
    totall
    unchecked Iran, that could effect even where you currently are.

    Japan has called Trump's bluff. European countries
    are being nicer by just asking questions.

    Japan said no such thing, most nations are calling for caution and I agree
    with that.

    The entire world knows Japan claimed the Trump administration lied
    about what happened. The evidence supports Japan's claim.

    The President has said he does not want to go war with Iran.

    Talk is cheap.

    Make no mistake the U.S. has the power and the ability to wipe them off the
    map,

    Afghans are still in Afghanistan.
    Iraqis are still in Iraq.
    Syrians are still in Syria.
    Vietnamese are still in Vietnam.
    Koreans are still in Korea.

    Everyplace the USA has been, the peoples of those countries
    are still there. Long after the USA has left.

    Iranians are still in Iran, long after the Shah was removed.
    Nothing will change in Iran, just as nothing will ever change
    in any other country. It is their land to do with what they
    want.

    just because we can do something doesn't mean that we should.

    Then why does Trump seek war with Iran? Clearly it makes no sense.
    But then, nothing makes sense with the Trump administration.

    At the same time Iran needs to understand that they can not be doing things
    that are aggressive.

    Iran has the same right to international waters as does every other
    country. The USA has no special right to go wherever it wants, when
    it wants.

    The same applies to air space. Fly a drone over Iranian air space,
    it will likely get shot down. Was this the reason why Trump wanted
    to go to war with Iran? Because the US flew a drone over Iranian
    air space? What do you think the world would say to that?

    Iran's future depends on Iran.

    Iran has a right to defend itself. Same as any other country.

    They can start by stopping the chant Death to America.
    That would be a great place to start.

    We have freedom of speech in the USA. You are suggesting that
    Iranians should not have the same freedom of speech in their own
    country? How unAmerican! And unIranian!

    It's kinda like this Lee, when you're a kid and you mouth off to your
    father, when you know in advance that he will beat your ass for it.

    My dad always encouraged me to speak up, rather than keep my mouth
    shut. That way, he always knew what I was thinking.

    Which is why Trump should have honored the six-nation deal with Iran, >LL>thus keeping them from developing nuclear weapons.

    Trump is not going appease them buy dropping off $150 Billion dollars at the
    Iranian tarmac like Obozo did.

    He gave Kim Jong-Un $2 million dollars to return a nearly dead
    college kid, so what's a few more billion dollars to another tyrant?

    But then, Obama never gave anybody US $$$. That was Trump's thing.

    The German fuhrer and Italian duce also invited the USA to
    play games with them. The USA accepted their challenges and
    wiped them both out of the game, on their own turf.

    The Soviet Union got attacked in June, Pearl Harbor in December.

    Comrade Joe was a friend of FDR, and the two of them had a plan.
    Joe would lure the Germans to Stalingrad, and allow them to surround
    the city. Then the Soviets would simply sit and wait until the
    Germans got tired of waiting. And the strategy worked. German
    soldiers were never able to do a thing, as the Soviets were well
    fed by food delivered to them by the USA, thanks to FDR.

    The battle of Stalingrad was won by the Soviet Union all alone.

    It was a siege, not a battle. The Germans never had a chance.

    I do not know what the hell you're talking about. It's obvious you're trying
    to twist this into something and even trying to pull it inside out.
    Look it's like this, Trump said he didn't think it was proportionate, with what would be the projections of the loss of life vs with what already happened the downing of a U.S. drone.

    The entire world knows Japan claimed the Trump administration lied
    about what happened. The evidence supports Japan's claim.

    Japan's claim?
    I don't think they are too happy that their ship was on fire, hit by mines or missles as Dale has mentioned, whatever it was, they did not do this to themselves.

    Iran is playing a very dangerous game; eluding themselves as the protectors of the straight, then determining who is allowed save passage and who is not.
    They are the gatekeepers of nothing because these are international waters. They have no such permission or authorization to control by any means who passes through the straight.

    Afghans are still in Afghanistan.
    Iraqis are still in Iraq.
    Syrians are still in Syria.
    Vietnamese are still in Vietnam.
    Koreans are still in Korea.

    Are you done? ok.
    Of course these people are still in their respective countries, you make it sound very much like the mission of the U.S. was to commit genocide wherever the U.S. goes in the world.

    This is what you make it sounds like, the fact that these people still exist in their respective countries proves it was not our mission.

    Then why does Trump seek war with Iran? Clearly it makes no sense.
    But then, nothing makes sense with the Trump administration.

    Trump has said on more then one occasion that he does NOT want to goto war with Iran. So I have to ask you directly where are you reading or listening to this FAKE NEWS?

    WW III will be WW II 2.0 fought over the same things as the previous one, Oil.

    Iran has the same right to international waters as does every other country. The USA has no special right to go wherever it wants, when
    it wants.

    um, International means no country not Iran not the United States or any other country can infringe another country from using what is known as International waterways and / or airspace.

    Just like International House of Pancakes -a lot of countries are represented. The French crape is not conspiring with its nearest ally French Toast to muscle out the Belgian Waffle from being brought to the table.

    I have heard that too, but the decision to attack or not to attack sits with the commander and chief.

    I also agree that the President should of been advised up front with the number of casualties in the beginning, usually this is the case. Strange that it was not the case this time.

    Thanks to President for having the mindset to say hold up and asking the question. This is one of the many things that candidate Donald Trump ran on, not evolving the U.S. in never ending wars.

    <War or Planefuls of Cash?>

    Had the US stayed out of WWII and Hitler not allowed the British
    to escape at Dunkirk, there never would have been any resistance
    in
    France (or anywhere else in Europe). Russia would have had no
    real
    defense, or the ability to push the Germans out once invaded.

    Can you give us some more details about what the USA did? The Soviet
    Union got
    attacked in June, Pearl Harbor in December. The battle of Stalingrad
    was won by
    the Soviet Union all alone.

    Well, not quuite ALL alone, the US was shipping thousands of toms of
    war materials to Russia through its northern port at Archangel and also overland through Iran

    OK -- so if it was a return of their money, why did you bring it up as a critism of Obama?

    I am not entirely convinced it was their money, if you look at the way this was done "in secret" - that act deserves it to be questioned.

    The fact that it was their money has been well documented, as was the
    fact that no $US were sent -- all foreign currency.

    We agree. My only problem with that call is why did Trump give the
    go-ahead to start with, only to cancel in the last ten minutes?

    Good

    My fear was not that Trump was a war monger, but that he acts so impulsively that he might trigger a war. That and the fact that he has surrounded himself with those who really seem to push for war and regime change in Iran.

    I have heard that too, but the decision to attack or not to attack
    sits with the commander and chief.

    I also agree that the President should of been advised up
    front with the number
    of casualties in the beginning, usually this is the case. Strange that
    it was not the case this time.

    According to numerous experts he should have been so advised at the very beginning of the plans.


    Thanks to President for having the mindset to say hold up and asking
    the question.

    Perhaps he had forgotten what he had been told before, or it just sunk
    in, or perhaps he just wanted to put his personal spin on it.

    whether or not that explanation is true. There are many more people
    standing around on that vessel than would be needed to remove a single
    mine. It is difficult to impossible to see what they are doing. That
    video could just as likely be a life boat removing personnel from the
    tanker. I don't know and the video does not convince me of any
    explanation. What is needed is some further context, e.g. where was
    that boat 30 seconds before and after the short video. Where ever that

    Trump claims he called off the attack on Iran 10 minutes before
    he ordered it. IOW, a fake attack that never happened. He lied
    about a lie, claiming two lies make a truth.

    I do not know what the hell you're talking about. It's obvious you're trying to twist this into something and even trying to pull it inside
    out. Look it's like this, Trump said he didn't think it was proportionate, with what would be the projections of the loss of life
    vs with what already happened
    the downing of a U.S. drone.

    The point is that why did Trump order the attack in the first place and
    then cancel it at the last minute. That is silly brinkmanship. Trump
    should have known the projections hours before the attack was due to be
    launced -- not in the last ten minutes. Of course this way he comes off sounding like a big hero by preventing the crisis that would be caused
    by such an attack -- when he ordered it himself to start with. He has
    done the same sort of thing in other situations. It is a pattern of
    him.

    The entire world knows Japan claimed the Trump administration lied
    about what happened. The evidence supports Japan's claim.

    Japan's claim?
    I don't think they are too happy that their ship was on fire, hit by
    mines or missles as Dale has mentioned, whatever it was, they did not
    do this to themselves.

    I simply reported what Japan said.

    Then why does Trump seek war with Iran? Clearly it makes no sense.
    But then, nothing makes sense with the Trump administration.

    It is more the people Trump has surrounded himself with that want to go
    to war and/or change the Iranian government.

    A missile and a mine leave a totally different signature.

    It seems however the intent was not to sink the vessels but to create trouble because if it was the intention to sink them, then this was a pis-poor attempt.

    At some point you can see an individual catching something that came loose and carry it in the boat.

    Unlikely, but I do think it is you who is forgetting who Donald Trump is,

    is why the "President" is the most powerful man in the world.

    It is humorous to see Iran puff out it's chest and suggest that they would be victorious, they are nearly broke financially and their equipment and means to make war is dated.

    Hello Greg,

    Trump claims he called off the attack on Iran 10 minutes before
    he ordered it. IOW, a fake attack that never happened. He lied
    about a lie, claiming two lies make a truth.

    I do not know what the hell you're talking about.

    Did Trump order a military strike on Iran? Nobody knows,
    except Trump himself. Did Trump call off a military strike
    on Iran that he himself says he ordered? Nobody knows, except
    Trump himself. Nobody has confirmed Trump did what he claimed.
    We have only Trump's word, and nothing else.

    It's obvious you're trying to twist this into something and even trying to
    pull it inside out.

    Not at all. Trump has stated all of this publicly.

    Look it's like this, Trump said he didn't think it was proportionate, with
    what would be the projections of the loss of life vs with what already happened the downing of a U.S. drone.

    We do not know if Trump ordered a military strike on Iran.
    If he did not order a military strike, then obviosuly there
    was no need to scratch or rescind the order, as such an order
    never was given.

    We only know what Trump has decided to tell us, even if what he
    told us is a bunch of lies. Nobody has confirmed or denied a thing.
    People are free to believe whatever Trump says, no matter how long
    his nose continues to grow.

    The entire world knows Japan claimed the Trump administration lied >LL>about what happened. The evidence supports Japan's claim.

    Japan's claim?

    Japan showed evidence that whatever hit the cargo ships was some
    kind of projectile, most likely a torpedo. That negates what the
    US has been claiming.

    I don't think they are too happy that their ship was on fire, hit by mines
    or missles as Dale has mentioned, whatever it was, they did not do this to themselves.

    Iran claims it was not responsible for what happened.
    There is no evidence showing that Iran was the culprit.
    The Trump administration can claim whatever it wants,
    but without solid evidence to back up its claims, its
    claims remain unsupported and unsubstantiated.

    Iran is playing a very dangerous game;

    Iran signed a deal with six nations, including the USA, to stop
    processing fuel to enrich uranium that would be esssential to make
    nuclear weapons. Iran has been in compliance, and the deal was
    working. Until Trump decided to blow it all up by walking away.

    Why did Trump do what he did? His stated reason was to keep
    Iran from getting or making nuclear weapons. So what do you expect
    the Iranians to do now that Trump has torn up the deal?

    eluding themselves as the protectors of the straight, then determining who
    is allowed save passage and who is not.

    The Iranian border extends a few miles into the Persian Gulf
    and Strait of Hormuz. Just as the US border extends a few miles
    off its coast in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf of Mexico.

    They are the gatekeepers of nothing because these are international waters.

    International waters are well off the coast of Iran.

    They have no such permission or authorization to control by any means who
    passes through the straight.

    Iran does not need any other country's permission to pass through
    the Strait of Hormuz.

    Afghans are still in Afghanistan.
    Iraqis are still in Iraq.
    Syrians are still in Syria.
    Vietnamese are still in Vietnam.
    Koreans are still in Korea.

    Are you done? ok.

    Iranians are still in Iran, long after the Shah lost his peacock
    throne (which we gave him). Why should Iranians be forced to give
    up the land they love? It is their land to do with what they want.

    Of course these people are still in their respective countries,

    The Iraqi people did not care much for Saddam Hussein. But after
    the US invaded, Iraqis united to defend their homeland from those
    who had invaded their land. After Saddam Hussein was captured,
    and later hanged, Iraqis considered him a martyr, a holy man for
    Muslims everywhere.

    Today Iraq has a Shiite strongman rather than a Sunni strongman.
    But the only real difference between a Shiite strongman and a Sunni
    strongman is kind of like the difference between a Catholic and
    a Protestant, as both believe in the same holy cause.

    So what did the US win by invading Iraq? The US installed a new
    strongman to replace the old strongman. That is essentially the
    only difference. Remember, we are infidels, and all Muslims have
    been taught well as to what to do with infidels ...

    you make it sound very much like the mission of the U.S. was to commit
    genocide wherever the U.S. goes in the world.

    When Clinton lied, nobody died. When Bush lied, thousands died.
    How many people do think will die when Trump lies?

    This is what you make it sounds like, the fact that these people still exist
    in their respective countries proves it was not our mission.

    George W. Bush went to war based on false pretenses.
    Donald J. Trump wants to go to war based on false pretenses.
    You do see the connection?

    GWB claimed "I know stockpiles of WMD exist in Iraq." No such
    "stockpiles of WMD" has ever been found.

    Trump is claiming that Iran is trying to get or make nuclear weapons.
    Even though the USA and five other nations had a deal with Iran that
    was working, with Iran in full compliance.

    The Iranian economy is in shambles. Trump wants to impose further
    sanctions on Iran, for no reason other than he can. What do you
    think the Iranians are going to do, with nothing left to lose?
    They most certainly will not roll over and play dead.

    Then why does Trump seek war with Iran? Clearly it makes no sense.
    But then, nothing makes sense with the Trump administration.

    Trump has said on more then one occasion that he does NOT want to go to war
    with Iran.

    What Trump says and what Trump does are two very different things.

    So I have to ask you directly where are you reading or listening to this
    FAKE NEWS?

    I cannot get into Trump's mind. I doubt anybody can.
    But here is my take as to what happened -

    Trump had to break it (the six-nation deal with Iran) in order to
    fix it. Even though nothing was broken or in need of fixing. Then
    he decided to fix it by claiming to have ordered a military strike
    on Iran, based on a false claim that Iran had shot down a drone in international waters (the drone was over Iranian airspace), then
    saving the day by rescinding the order he claimed to have given,
    so that everybody would thank him for preventing a shooting war with
    Iran.

    WW III will be WW II 2.0 fought over the same things as the previous one,
    Oil.

    I don't know about WW III, but WW IV will be fought with sticks
    and stones. Not sure what folks will be fighting over in those days,
    but I doubt it will be over oil.

    Iran has the same right to international waters as does every other >LL>country. The USA has no special right to go wherever it wants, when
    it wants.

    um, International means no country not Iran not the United States or any
    other country can infringe another country from using what is known as International waterways and / or airspace.

    The US shot down an Iranian passenger airliner flying over
    the Persian Gulf. There was no question the airliner was flying
    over international waters, with the US clearly at fault. What
    do you think Trump what have done had the Iranians mistakenly
    shot down a US passenger airliner flying over the Persian Gulf?

    Just like International House of Pancakes -a lot of countries are
    represented.

    And with no clear evidence showing Iran having been responsible
    for what happened to those cargo ships, Trump has no case to go
    to war.

    muscle out the Belgian Waffle from being brought to the table.

    Perhaps he had forgotten what he had been told before, or it just sunk
    in, or perhaps he just wanted to put his personal spin on it.

    Unlikely, but I do think it is you who is forgetting who Donald Trump
    is, a successful business man and billionaire, you don't become either
    by being forgetful.

    Whether or not he is a successful business man or a billionaire is up
    for debate. There has been information published that over a span of
    ten years in the 90's, his organization loss more than one billion
    dollars. He is also well known for his many bankrupcies, and for not
    paying his bills.

    I know that he claims that he is a successful business man and
    billionaire, but he refuses to produce any evidence of either of those
    claims. And he is well known for not telling the truth about many
    things.

    <War or Planefuls of Cash?>

    Iran signed a deal with six nations, including the USA, to stop
    processing fuel to enrich uranium that would be esssential to make
    nuclear weapons. Iran has been in compliance, and the deal was
    working. Until Trump decided to blow it all up by walking away.

    I think you are referring to the treaty of not enriching beyond 3.67 percent.

    No nation should deny the existence of another.
    I was just pointing out that Iran does still exist.

    You suggested that the U.S. is too trigger-happy, but the U.S. has not fired a shot in retaliatory strike, measured or otherwise for the downing of a U.S. drone in a unprovoked attack. The drone was within international airspace.

    If the U.S. is as you say "trigger-happy" Iran would be very embarrassed all that bluster and arrogance about the Iranian revolutionary guard.
    All that smugness and the buffed out chest would vanish instantly.

    If they wish to live, another day they should end the arrogance and stop with the hostility and aggression. The U.S. has patience, but only to a degree.

    This is not in dispute by either nation, Iran has admitted that they were the responsible party, their own General drew up a map at the time of the event with his account of what occurred. In addition to this, video of the event has been released by Iran that shows the missile being launched.
    This is all over the media, curious that you have not seen this on your local media.

    Perhaps the attack on the tankers was a covert operation by the CIA?

    Are you going to go all out "Alex Jones" and generate fabulous conspiracy theories. This is something that I never expected that you would do.
    The mines and fragments found seem to have a Iranian origin. More information will be forth coming about this as evidence mounts against them.

    The U.S. used to be get alot of oil from the middle east, but today the U.S. is energy independent and are actually have a surplus.

    Which begs the question why then is the U.S. there?

    Answer because the mere mention of Iran playing games with laying mines and other aggression does have an effect world markets.
    The U.S. is there to ensure that the flow of oil continues to travel to its destination without any interference from the nation of Iran.

    All Americans, including those who are children, have the right
    of citizenship. As well as all babies born in the USA, regardless
    of who their parents are or where they are from.

    Kidnapping is a crime, the last time I looked. But the current
    occupant of the White House does not understand the meaning of the
    word. Perhaps one of his aides should inform him.

    Separating children from their parents, then placing them up for
    adoption to US citizens, is government-sanctioned kidnapping. Since
    these are foreign-born children being forcibly removed from their
    caretakers (parents, legal guardians, etc.), this could be considered
    being an act of war by the countries where they are from.

    As well as a violation of their human rights (children and parents).

    Why won't the Democrat-led Congress do something about this? Why did nobody >cry about it during the Obama years? Was it PC to put kids behind bars when >Obama did it, because he's black?

    The Obama administration never had a "zero tolerance" policy.

    Not immigrant children, but illegal immigrant children. There's a huge difference. Legal immigrant children aren't swimming across rivers or camping in 100 degree deserts.

    which ones are those? how do you know they are criminals? who said they are criminals? where's the proof?

    Foster care is a good solution for kids who are victims of their

    we're not talking about that... we're talking about immigrant

    Not immigrant children, but illegal immigrant children.

    no child is illegal... no human is illegal... stop trying to dehumanize them...

    There's a huge difference. Legal immigrant children aren't swimming

    Legal immigrants come to the USA with passports, permission from their home country,

    not when the are coming here requesting asylum... crossing the border of a country to ask for asylum is not illegal...

    not with dead children floating in tow.

    regardless, irregardless,

    irregardless is not a word...

    to spite or despite,

    they have different meanings...

    spite:
    verb: spite; 3rd person present: spites; past tense: spited; past participle: spited; gerund or present participle: spiting

    1. deliberately hurt, annoy, or offend (someone).
    "he put the house up for sale to spite his family"
    "I used to worry that you would make trouble, just to spite Martin"


    despite:
    noun:

    1. outrage; injury.
    "the despite done by him to the holy relics"
    2. contempt; disdain.
    "the theater only earns my despite"

    I think the point has been made.

    it has not because when you make basic mistakes like you do quite a lot, you lose your audience...

    When you need to talk about those troubled times within the casino business

    troubled times? i thought he is/was successful? if that were true, there'd have

    or his to counter my post,

    then your post is a completely ineffective.

    it is perfectly effective due to pointing out the mistakes and inconsistencies in your arguments... it hilights your ignorance...

    By the way he was not President at the times that you speak of.

    that's beside the point of whether he is/was successful...

    This matters not to you, it's something that you thought that you

    Separating children from their parents, then placing them up for
    adoption to US citizens, is government-sanctioned kidnapping. Since

    No matter what you call it, children have been forcibly removed from their parents every day by courts. If you let illegal aliens have a free pass when
    it comes to child-endangerment, you're going to have a lot of angry Americans.

    caretakers (parents, legal guardians, etc.), this could be considered being an act of war by the countries where they are from.

    These governments, that are supposedly oppressive, wouldn't dare attack the USA, and especially not for human rights. They should be ashamed that their citizens are leaving.

    It depends on what you consider "booming," and it depends on what industry you're in; if you're in coal, or steel, it's "booming" already. If you're in the not getting nuked by NK, that's a good industry to be in at the moment
    too.

    which ones are those? how do you know they are criminals? who said they are criminals? where's the proof?

    How can you endorse human trafficking? You can call it asylum-seeking, or babysitting, or whatever you want, but you're fighting for the rights of
    people who are committing negligent homicide of children, or endangering the welfare of a child, at best. You're also fighting for the rights of people to walk our streets without any scrutiny over their identity or criminal background. Did you know that in many states, it's illegal to be in public without identification?

    The loophole is being abused to the full extent. With 90% of undocumented illegal immigrants not reporting to court for their hearings, look at who you are defending. You keep saying "they have a right to apply for asylum," so
    why aren't they applying? Not showing up for court is them not applying for asylum. That's them applying for "let me do whatever I feel like doing, screw your asylum application, and bye."

    who said anything about human trafficking?? i didn't and you haven't until now while you try to throw all kinds of muck into the discussion and confuse the issues... stick to one topic at a time and work through it before jumping off into another muck pit...
    but here's something for you... it's not illegal to go to a country and request
    asylum... it is illegal to separate minors from their parents or guardians without legal cause... if there is human trafficking, stop those traffickers! not the victims! that's like blaming the person who got raped... you should help the victims not blame them or dehumanize them... many of these people are vistims which is one of the main reasons why they left where they were... then they get here, to america, the land of the free and the home of the brave, only
    to be victimized and dehumanized buy ignorant, intolerant, people who think they are better than someone else...

    You can call it asylum-seeking, or babysitting, or whatever you want,
    but you're fighting for the rights of people who are committing
    negligent homicide of children, or endangering the welfare of a child,
    at best.

    you don't know that... you have no clue about them, what they are doing, or why
    they are doing it... "you people" are spouting off because of pure ignorance...
    you're scared of them because they are different from you... guess what? I'M different from you, too! everyone in here is different from you... are you scared of them, too?? are you scared of fat people? people with missing legs or
    arms? people with long hair? people with cleft lips? maybe you're scared of tall people? or is it skinny people? oh, i know, you're scared of people who grew up in the mountains and talk like they have a mouth full of rocks... that's it... yeah, that's gotta be it...

    You're also fighting for the rights of people to walk our streets
    without any scrutiny over their identity or criminal background.

    how is that any different than you or i walking down the street in any town or city in this country? what do you want? police on every corner stopping and checking everybody any time they move? or just people that don't look like you?
    or maybe it is just people that don't think like you? oh, i got it... it is people that don't smell like you... that's it! people who smell different and talk like they have a mouth full of rocks... or wait... could it be that you're
    scared of people that grew up without a father or mother? or maybe they did have one and you didn't? is that it?

    besides, i'm not *fighting* for anything, right now... IF that time ever comes,
    you can bet that i will do what i have to do...

    Did you know that in many states, it's illegal to be in public without identification?

    of course i do... i spent 5 years hitchhiking across these united states back in the '80s after i got out of the USAF... i'm not stupid or ignorant, friend... and ya know what? i was never bothered by anyone while i was walking along with my 150pound backpack... i wasn't bothered when i set up my tent in some field and started a campfire to cook some dinner that i may have brought with me or maybe even trapped during that day's hiking... i wasn't bothered when i asked for directions or if there was a food kitchen or even just a shelter to get in out of the rain or snow... people were nice, friendly and helpful... what happened between then and now i have no idea but it isn't right... that's for damned sure...

    The loophole is being abused to the full extent.

    what loophole?

    With 90% of undocumented illegal immigrants not reporting to court for their hearings, look at who you are defending. You keep saying "they
    have a right to apply for asylum," so why aren't they applying?

    kinda hard for them to apply when the border guards are illegally separating them from their children and locking them up in cages for weeks... how would you like to be locked up in a cage in a cold room, have to sleep on the bare concrete floor, and maybe, just maybe, you might get to have something warm to eat??

    Not showing up for court is them not applying for asylum.

    showing up for court has nothing to do with /applying/ for asylum... that comes
    later unless you are applying during removal proceedings... these folks haven't
    even had that chance...

    That's them applying for "let me do whatever I feel like doing, screw
    your asylum application, and bye."

    no, that's your ignorance showing... like the guy down the street from me... some folks from india bought some property here... they're nice folks, warm and
    friendly... they've brought food and shared it a few times... we've mowed the grass and fields on the property they bought... they speak english very well and are easily understood... but this guy down the street... he's ignorant... he's scared of these people because he doesn't understand them and that's where
    his ignorance comes in... he won't even try... as big as this guy is, he acts like a little dog and it shows... i feel sorry for him being that scared of another human being that just looks different, talks different, prays different
    and has different beliefs than he...

    but you know what? i swore an oath years ago... i still stand by that oath... i
    also swear the following and it covers ALL people...

    "while i may disagree with what you say, i will defend to the
    death your right to say it." - me with apologies to evelyn b.

    beds to incarceration centers would be donated to groups that actually work with and assist immigrants... instead Wayfair split the donation into two parts... one part went to the Red Cross... the Red Cross doesn't even work with

    Hello Aaron,

    Separating children from their parents, then placing them up for >LL>adoption to US citizens, is government-sanctioned kidnapping. Since

    No matter what you call it, children have been forcibly removed from their
    parents every day by courts.

    Separating children from their parents is a violation of human
    rights, as well as a violation of international law. This "zero
    tolerance" policy by the Trump administration has resulted in
    the deaths of at least 7 children, and nobody knows how many
    grown adults. The conditions these children are being forced
    to live in is deplorable, and inhumane. Having children take
    care of infants is insane. Why anybody could even think about
    supporting such a policy is beyond me.

    If you let illegal aliens have a free pass when it comes to
    child-endangerment, you're going to have a lot of angry Americans.

    You ae comparing *children* as being criminals? That is twisted!

    caretakers (parents, legal guardians, etc.), this could be considered >LL>being an act of war by the countries where they are from.

    These governments, that are supposedly oppressive, wouldn't dare attack the >USA, and especially not for human rights. They should be ashamed that their >citizens are leaving.

    Donald J. Trump and his Republican enablers should be ashamed of
    themselves for their adamant refusal to help those countries better
    the conditions in their own countries so their own citizens would
    no longer be forced to leave.

    IOW, we should open our wallets so that those who are suffering
    will be able to live. It is the only human thing to do.

    Those who call themselves Christians and refuse are nothing but
    hypocrites. Jesus was much harsher in the words s/he spoke.

    Hello mark,

    ml>>>> they are criminals? where's the proof?

    GD> Want Proof? read on.

    HINT: only a judge can determine if someone is a criminal...

    An unjust law has no basis for making anybody a criminal.

    no one else...

    Bullshit. FDR ordered the internment of thousands of US citizens,
    most of whom were Japanese or of Japanese ancestry. This included
    women and children. Just because he did not like the color of
    their skin.

    GWB ordered the internment of just over a thousand people, some
    of whom were US citizens, on the basis of them being suspected of
    being Muslim. About half were deported, since they were not US
    citizens. The rest were eventually released. And one was actually
    put on trial and convicted, sentenced to life (the Muslim guy who
    chickened out being a hijacker).

    Hello Bob Ackley,

    Trump already won, and I hate to break it to you, but he will win
    again in 2020.

    I don't think so. Remember, it's not who votes that counts, it's who
    counts the votes.

    GWB 5
    Al Gore 4

    USSC Justices
    The only votes that counted

    In regards to Trump -

    "Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. ... He lost the
    election and he was put into office because the Russians interfered
    on his behalf." ~Jimmy Carter, 6/28/2019

    IOW, a real president of the USA publicly called Donald J. Trump
    an "illegitimate" president. And by extension, Mike Pence as being
    an "illegitimate" vice president.

    Sorry to break it to you, but in that case, the USA has never cared about

    or a tube of toothpaste to help the people you're here crying for?

    i have a half a tube of toothpaste... once it is gone, i'm out with no current prospects of getting more... after that, it'll be salt and baking soda to brush

    Because you're afraid the evil republicans will spill the beans on the floor, and have an orgy in it, in front of starving illegal alien children?

    dude, i've lost 50+ pounds in the last 10 months *because* beans are pretty much all that i've had to eat... a 20 pouind bag of dried pinto beans is about gone... every once in a while, maybe some pork neckbones get thrown into the pot... or maybe some turkey necks... but neither one of them come around very damned often... sometimes i'll throw a handful or two of rice into the pot to stretch it along... that was a 10 pound bag of rice when i started... maybe some frozen vegetables that have been in the deep freezer for 4 or 5 years will
    get thrown into the pot... but you know what? even though i don't have anything
    and i could use some assistance myself, i *STILL* help others as much as i can when i can and how i can... i share my pot of beans with others... i drive my truck carrying folks back and forth to work or to the grocery store even though
    it costs them $10US a trip... that's what it costs me so i have to charge them or there won't be any fuel to even do that... i don't even make any extra on it... i'm not trying to... i'm helping them as best i can with what little i have... i get them to work so they can make some little bit of money to try to get out of the hole they are in... and one day, just one day, that help will come back to me... some how, some way, it will come back...

    i haven't drowned in a river with my 2yo daughter but if i had to swim across a
    damned river with my young child to try to save them, you better believe i'd do
    it... i'd do it in heart beat because i'm a parent and i'll do anything i can to try to find a better place and life for my kids... i've already lost my oldest son... buried him ~10 years ago... he asked me to bring his motorcycle to atlanta for him so i did... 72 hours later, he was gone... now i'm losing my
    other son to god damned heroin... i tried to help by letting him stay here instead of on the streets... what'd he do? he lied to me over and over and stole stuff of his grandfather's from here... i had to kick him and make him get into a program... i don't even know if he's still in that program or how he's doing... i hope he's doing good but he's got a long way to go... i haven't
    seen any of my five grand children in 10 years... yeah, if i had to carry them across a river on my back, i'd absolutely do it if there was no other choice that i could see... i applaud that father for trying... i hate that they died in the attempt but at least he tried to do something to make his daughter's life better than it was where they came from...

    don't be telling me what selfish assholes can do... i've seen it for 50+, i see
    it all the time today, and i'm gorran damned sick of it... get off your ass and
    go help someone instead of sitting there moaning and whining about some immigrants coming into our country... this country was built on immigration! damned near everybody here in this country is here because of immigration! immigrants need help as much as anyone else... i don't fault them one iota for doing everything they can to come here to what was the greatest country in the world... the land of the free and the home of the brave... yeah, right... sons of bitches won't even take care of our veterans like we were promised... yeah, i'm an honorably discharged veteran... i, my father, several aunts and uncles all were promised lifetime health care... greedy assholes like trump, conning people left and right, taking the money and spreading it around his friends and
    associates... can't even speak a coherent paragraph but he's going to save the country... bullshit, lying sack of shit... $700+US a day to take care of the people illegally taken and locked up in cages and where's that money going? it ain't going to take care of those people! if it were, they'd have food, blankets, cans of peas, and toothpaste! trump sounds like my son when he's all drugged up on that shit... talking a big game and failing at everything he touches... ruining everything for everybody else... fuck that! get outta my yard!

    have you finished reading th emueller report yet?

    No not yet, but what I have read thus far, concludes and supports,
    No Collision and No Obstruction.

    Then keep reading, with comprehension. Part I outlines many contacts
    between the Trump campaign staff and foreign elements, and instances in
    which they accepted aid from foreign government agents. Mueller did say
    that he could not establish evidence of a criminal conspiracy. He did
    not address the common statement of collision[sic] because there is no
    such crime in the justice system.

    On obstruction, Part II lists at least ten occurrences for which all of
    the elements of obstruction of justice were met, but because of the OIC
    policy of not inditing a sitting President, he could not formally charge
    him with the crime. Nevertheless, he laid out all of the elements for
    which Trump could be charged, either by impeachment or after is not
    elected for a second term. More than 1000 former prosecutors and
    justice department officials have said that what Mueller put into part
    II would most likely result in a conviction of anyone other than a

    Hello mark,

    HINT: only a judge can determine if someone is a criminal...

    An unjust law has no basis for making anybody a criminal.

    agreed...

    An unjust law is no law at all.

    until that law is found unjust, it is still the law...

    Many women find toplessness laws to be very unjust ...

    the question is if the law is found unjust and removed, are those who were
    prosecuted under that unjust law still criminals?

    Who says one has to be charged with a crime? For example,
    seizure and forfeiture laws. You can lose everything you own,
    including your two chickens, and never be charged with a crime.
    These S&F laws have become so ominous that they have turned
    local police into bounty hunters and the bounty is your cash,
    vehicles and property.

    no one else...

    Bullshit. FDR ordered the internment of thousands of US citizens,
    most of whom were Japanese or of Japanese ancestry. This included >LL>women and children. Just because he did not like the color of
    their skin.

    was there a law passed to cause this?

    The law was called FDR. Passed by the Congress in its declaration
    of war on the Empire of Japan.

    did those people stand trial and were they found guilty of criminal activity
    under that law?

    Nah. These "enemy aliens" were simply rounded up and placed in
    internment camps in various states based on the law of FDR.

    i think hikaru kato sulu might have something to say about that ;)

    Camp Livingston in Louisiana was very active during this period.
    Nationwide, over 110,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans, 1941-1946.
    But none in Hawai'i.

    GWB ordered the internment of just over a thousand people, some
    of whom were US citizens, on the basis of them being suspected of
    being Muslim.

    being muslim is against a law???

    Only for a short period of time, under the law of GWB.

    should i be scared if i worship in the muslim way?

    Not until after you press the button and find there are no 72 virgins.

    Hello Aaron,

    Separating children from their parents is a violation of human
    rights, as well as a violation of international law. This "zero

    Sorry to break it to you, but in that case, the USA has never cared about
    what you call "human rights."

    The US Constitution (with the inclusion of the Bill of Rights and
    other amendments) makes it a human rights document. Which is exactly
    what the idea of this country is all about. Or rather what it is
    supposed to be about.

    I was separated from my kid by the court 12 years ago, and I didn't even
    endanger him.

    Even children have rights, which proves my point.

    Didn't make him swim the rio, didn't make him ride across provinces under
    the hood of a cement truck either.

    That is one of the reasons why we, as Americans, should help
    those in need. We can do this in many different ways, including
    helping those countries where they are from be able to provide
    for their own citizens so that they would no longer have to
    endanger their own lives as well as others by making hazardous
    journeys.

    But I still love the USA and won't do anything to offend it.

    We show our love towards others by sharing what we have.
    Not by denying those a chance to live a decent life.

    If you let illegal aliens have a free pass when it comes to >child-endangerment, you're going to have a lot of angry Americans.

    You ae comparing *children* as being criminals? That is twisted!

    You're making no sense of the stuff you quoted me on? That's twisted too!

    Children are not criminals. People (both children and adults)
    who are applying for asylum are not criminals. Even those who
    sneak across the border are not criminals, as doing so is only
    a misdemeanor (kind of like jaywalking).

    Donald J. Trump and his Republican enablers should be ashamed of >LL>themselves for their adamant refusal to help those countries better

    What do you, on behalf of central american ldcs, want us to do to fix your
    failed products of greed? Want us to buy you some abortions? How about if
    we buy some of your drugs too? - Wait - we've been doing you these favors
    for years now!

    We should not limit ourselves to people from Central America, but
    rather should open our doors wide for everybody to come in - from
    all over the world. That is our mission, as inscribed on a statue
    given to us by France.

    Who's asked for help & been denied?

    Everybody - except for Melania and her parents.

    The examples that you have provided show that you are ignoring the dangers

They are not the same circumstances, in-fact they are vastly different. You know very well that they are vastly different.

    Your suggesting. "I did it, traveled alone" - what's the big deal?
    You as a child - traveling alone many years ago on a bus or even flying alone is far different than what the dangers that exist on a daily basis for these children traveling along across the desert, all that they must endure and have to deal with as they hope with each step they get closer and closer to a
    better life.

    Having said that, why is it I wonder, that you chose to make such an ignorant statement, specially when you knew in advance that I would deem it as such.

    Scenario A: Child travels lawfully around the world, all alone.

    Scenario B: Child travels unlawfully around central america, risking a slight chance of being sold into sexual slavery, being used as a drug mule, being murdered by human traffickers for not having the amount of money he said he had, drowning in a river, roasting his brain in scorching dry desert heat, being put in this situation by liberal americans, while conservative

    Yeah sure, as was I, plus my friend and I were put on a bus to traveled to Riverside, USA (an amusement park) known today as Six Flags, New England. Which is similar to the kind of travel that you were allowed to do. My point was just because we were allowed to do these moments of being independent, involving trust. Does not mean that these children traveling across the desert on foot have any safety for they are plagued with dangers. We take so much for granted sometimes and we don't even think about the bad things that could happen, that we are shielded from.

    how are they coming here illegally? be specific with absolute proof... >ml>not some bullshit that your orange clown has been spewing...

    I suppose the Italians are also nasty because they too don't want migrants
    in their country either.

    Italy had taken in more than they can handle, which is why they
    insisted their European neighbors do their own part. That is not
    to say that Italy does not want to take in immigrants. In fact,
    I would be very welcome to do so. As would you. And many others.

    Most of the immigrants trying to get to Italy are refugees.
    Mainly from Libya, which is in a constant state of crisis. Italy
    had taken in so many of them it was impossible to take in any
    more. Public assistance to those who are not Italian, especially
    those who cannot speak the language or have any job skills, is
    very limited to say the least.

    In-fact name me one country besides Germany that has an open arms policy
    with migrants welcome, no need for paperwork, just come on in..

    "It's nice to trust people, but it's better to control them."
    ~ Vladimir Lenin

    An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.
    Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote about this in his famous "Letter
    From a Birmingham Jail".

    Kangaroo courts decide what is legal or not all the time.
    So do dictators, who act as judges for all the people. Why
    should they have any right at all to determine what is legal
    or not? Just because the decisions they make are backed by
    others to enforce those decisions does not make anything
    they do in compliance with the moral law.

    Segregation was "legal" in the South for a very long time.
    Slavery was also "legal" everywhere in the USA for a very long time.
    That does not mean either was in compliance with the moral law.

    Every individual has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.
    But few are courageous enough to do so. Most folks fail to even
    realize what an unjust law is today.

    When you see a woman breastfeeding her child in public being
    arrested for indecent exposure, do you step in and challenge the
    officer who is making the arrest? Nah. Doing so would put yourself
    in the position of getting yourself arrested - for whatever trumped
    up reason the officer decides.

    Article I Section 8 (what powers the federal government is granted)

    Go ahead. Read it. It is quite short.

    The focus is on -
    * international relations
    * issuing currency
    * raising armies, navies
    * calling forth the militia
    * interstate commerce

    The balance of power is left to the states.

    Wheere does any judge in the USA get the power to decide
    on matters outside those areas? Only in his own mind.
    That is your position - "only judges can determine what is
    legal or not."

    I say you are full of sh*t.

    So does the US Constitution.

    No presence of the American Flag, and these people are having a
    debate as
    one hopes to stand out among the cess pool of candidates to be the
    next
    President?

    None of them have a prayer against Trump.

    Don't count your chickens.

    He only has two of them. According to his own count.

    Of course there have been crimes committed by undocumented immigrants.
    But how about reducing the Trump generated hype and compareing the
    number of such crimes versus the number of immigrants? Also against the
    number of crimes committed by USA citizens? If you wish to use that
    argument as a justification for Trump's policy at the border, then you
    should be prepared to back it up with facts.

    LOL. We have a form for everything - and they are in German. If you do not speak German, you can fill out a form to apply for lessons, all forms are in German, though.
    I think you are referring to not sending refugees back to the country where they first entered the EU. I think Sweden is also not doing that at the moment.

    I'm sorry, that was a rude example for me to use. I just was wondering what
    you think about handouts. I've had foodstamps in the past, but I don't
    qualify anymore.

    But foodstamps are a good example of people exploiting loopholes for personal gain. I know a woman who refuses to change jobs simply because of foodstamps and medicaid. She's an idiot. I try telling her places where she can make
    good money, and get bcbs insurance, but she's stuck on this loophole: if she can make lousy money all her life, then she can be on foodstamps & medicaid
    all her life too.

    It's similar with the "unlawful visitors." They could work hard, for pennies
    a day in their home countries, until they have enough money to apply for a visa, but instead, they take the caveman approach and walk in pretending to
    be from a country with an oppressive government.

    Then to make matters more irritating, there are children being killed by
    their government in Syria, people getting the death penalty for being gay,
    and women being stoned to death for being rape victims.. But hell with all those people, we need to flood the asylum application system with people who are tired of eating rice & beans. Thanks to the loophole.

    leading a horse to water and getting it to drink are two different things... but she may also have a valid (to her) reason for not wanting to get off the rolls or advance her position in life... there's more responsibility for one thing... she has to meet someone else's schedules and demands, for another... they may be more restrictive than what she has now...

    This is a VERY good point. I just happened to watch a very good documentry about the Statue of Liberty and the imigrants. They showed the writing you mentioned. It also outlined the struggles of the Irish Immigrants. I am of German decent. Now I'm not ready to give up my "postion" on the Immigrants trying to force their way into our Great Country. It is an illegal act and should not go unpunished. However, I will admit I have had a "change of heart" regarding Immigrants.

    why's it so odd? we're talking about today, not yesteryear... but since you bring it up, let's take a look...

    1. it happened 80 years ago; May 1939.
    2. the St. Louis was a German ship, not a USS military ship.
    3. the St. Louis landed in Havana, Cuba with 937 passengers.
    4. Cuba did not allow the passengers to disembark from the vessel.
    5. yes, the US and Canada were also unwilling to admit the passengers.
    6. a majority of the passengers had filed for US visas but had not received them before sailing.
    7. they had hopes to stay in Cuba for a short time until their US visas came through.
    8. yes, the US didn't allow them to land because they had not passed security screening.
    9. many Americans did sympathize with the plight of those passengers.
    10. they returned to Europe where some countries did admit a certain percentage.
    11. some of those did get a proper visa and came back to the US before the German invasion in 1940.
    12. 254 of those passengers were killed in the Holocaust, though.

    I don't deny any American tradition, but won't just sit back and let the stooges on the left, once again to twist the words, politicizing it's meaning.

    Every-time immigration is in the news or upon our minds the left likes to

    Tens of Thousands came to the United States via Ellis Island - but they came legally, they didn't sneak across the border like the cockroaches of today that the Democrats exploit for votes. They like to run their mouthes but won't work the President, they want to play 'the migrants' to keep their own version of a Trump card again for political means.

    Practice what you preach, and support politically.... Dale

    Rush said it best

    "The Statue of Liberty had absolutely nothing to do with immigration. So why
    do people think that it does? Well, there was a socialist poet. (Are poets anything other than socialists and communists?) Her name was Emma Lazarus,
    and her poem was called The New Colossus, and it included the lines, Give me your tired, give me your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

    That was not part of the creation of the Statue of Liberty. It was not delivered with the Statue of Liberty. It came later. The poem written by Emma Lazarus was written to help raise money for the statue's pedestal. We had to build the pedestal, which is also a room underneath the statue. A bronze tablet bearing the Emma Lazarus poem was only put inside the pedestal in
    1903. And yet there's Lester Holt out there on NBC holding out the Statue of Liberty as a beacon to immigrants as so that's what it was intended to be, fighting against Trump's executive order of the weekend. They have nothing to do with immigration. Zilch."

    BUT, I will say that I deplore that action, as well as the internment of Japanese-American citizens (which I did not even find out about until I
    was about 28 and my wife was working in an office where one such person
    was also working). I also deplore the passing out of smallpox laden
    blankets to our Native American people, and the forceable removal of

    to speak their language.

    their children where they were placed in English schools and forbidden

    from Thomas Brown - author / E-mail: browntf@hal.lamar.edu

    Given the politicization of this topic, it seems necessary to acknowledge at the outset that far too many instances of the U.S. Army committing outrages against various Indian tribes can be documented. A number of these were explicitly genocidal in intent. It is not the intention of this author to deny that simple fact. However, as the eminent Cherokee sociologist Russell Thornton has observed of Ward Churchill's fabricated version of the 1837 smallpox epidemic.

    "The history is bad enough, there's no need to embellish it"

    (from G. Deyss)
    This is what exactly you (Dale Shipp) are attempting to accomplish.
    Once again pushing the narrative that America Sucks...
    Sucks to be you, because I will push and / or shove you back on this.
    It's up to you on the amount of force that is used.

    (Jaschik, 2005). That the U.S. Army is undoubtedly guilty of genocidal outrages against Indians in the past in no way justifies Ward Churchill's fabrication of an outrage that never happened.

    What Really Happened?
    The High Plains smallpox epidemic of 1837 has been analyzed by numerous historians. None of the previous histories have indicated any U.S. Army presence in the vicinity, much less any military involvement in genocide.
    None have mentioned a word about a boatload of blankets shipped from a
    military smallpox infirmary in St. Louis. None have mentioned any medical personnel as even being present in the vicinity, much less deliberately violating quarantine by sending infected Indians out among the healthy population.

    Madness has no purpose. Or reason. But it may have a goal.

    We should all agree that inscriptions on statues are not the same as inscriptions on the constitution. Those beautiful, flowery words found on national monuments can easily be twisted into liberal political slogans.

    Tens of Thousands came to the United States via Ellis Island - but they came legally, they didn't sneak across the border like the cockroaches

    They say "My great-grandparents were immigrants too," but they always fall short of saying "..and they faced extreme scrutiny at Ellis Island; were
    tested for diseases like tuberculosis, and if they tested positive, were
    sent back to Europe."

    How is that different from the people appearing at our southern border

    There is a "Yuge" difference, between those people who came to Ellis Island to be processed and then granted access into our country to make a better life for themselves and their families, my ancestors were among the tens of thousands of people who all had the same American dream. They were not looking for a handout nor were they looking to be used by the Democratic Party as pawns as a means to hold on to political power, with the likes that is seen today for example. Giving out benefits and free goodies as if they were candy. Also in the crowd from Ellis Island was the Great Grandfather to Donald Trump and just look at what that family has been able to accompli$h.

    The only way the migrants - south of the border that you as well as others
    are so compassionate about would be similar to the folks who came to America via Ellis island is if they were to get in line to become citizens, the correct way. Instead of sneaking into the country after a long trek north. Somehow that does not seem to qualify as being the same generation that came to America via Ellis Island, many of them from south of the border do bring crime, but the left never wants to bring up those facts, but they have no problems talking about a crazed Christian who from time to to time goes off the rails, who was never really a Christian in the first place. They also seem to be fond to discussing The Crusades of the medieval period, lots of bloodshed there too. It does not matter the left sometimes makes it up as they go along, with
    world wide attention to their tall takes such was the case with the bought and paid for the fake Russian Dossier, and called it Russian Collusion.

    True but most knew a trade, my Family came from Hamburg, Germany and settled in Sand Lake / Averill Park, N.Y., in Upstate New York, not far from where I am now Schodack Landing, N.Y.

    So what was the trade of those first imigrants from your family?

    How is that different from the people appearing at our southern border
    who are looking for asylum -- and are fleeing far worse conditions than the people who came in through Ellis Island.

    There is a "Yuge" difference, between those people who came to Ellis Island to be processed and then granted access into our country to
    make a better life for
    themselves and their families, my ancestors were among the
    tens of thousands of
    people who all had the same American dream.

    And the people coming from the south are doing exactly the same.


    They were not looking for a handout

    There is no evidence that most of the current migrants are looking for a handout. There is plenty of evidence that they are simply fleeing from
    an intolerable situation.

    Also in the crowd from Ellis Island was the Great Grandfather to Donald Trump and just look at what that family has been able to accompli$h.

    And why can't that be true in the future for the immigrants from the
    south?

    The only way the migrants - south of the border that you as well as
    others are so compassionate about would be similar to the folks who
    came to America via Ellis island is if they were to get in line to
    become citizens, the correct
    way.

    They are doing it in full accordance with the law which guarentees them
    the right to seek asylum.

    many of them from south of the border do bring crime,

    Of course there are some criminals in the migration, but "many" is an unsupported claim. Almost all of them are seeking escape from the
    conditions in their country of origin.

    was the case with the bought and paid for the fake Russian Dossier, and called it Russian Collusion. Recently it was discovered that there is
    NO intel to support support such a allegation. (sounds about right and accurate. Made up just like I have been saying.

    As has been said many times, and some folks keep ignoring, much of that "Dossier" has been substantiated by investigation. None has been proven
    false.

    They might appear to me to more human to me and even gain a bit of understanding and even be compassionate to their cause.
    If they did not violate U.S. Sovereignty.

    You are claiming that they have violated US Sovereignty, but most of
    them have simply come to the US Border patrol and asked for asylum. How
    is that a violation of US Sovereignty? It is what the USA law says that
    they are entitled to do.

    Why don't you try to give a simple and logical explanation as to what
    the difference is? Because I have not seen one.

    Gregory Deyss <sp> gave one a couple messages ago, but ok..

    Immigrants coming through Ellis Island:
    Came legally without using a legal loophole
    Didn't sneak in through rivers or deserts
    Were subject to health screenings

    Illegal cockroaches coming through the southern border:
    Come illegally or via a legal loophole, which 90% abuse
    Sneaking in through the Rio Grande or deserts
    Not subject to health screenings - tuberculosis is a-ok

    On 06 Jul 2019, Dale Shipp said the following...

    True but most knew a trade, my Family came from Hamburg, Germany and settled in Sand Lake / Averill Park, N.Y., in Upstate New York, not f from where I am now Schodack Landing, N.Y.

    So what was the trade of those first imigrants from your family?

    I am researching my family's history, but I do know that they were
    Carpenter's - there is a house still standing today built overlooking Crooked Lake of which is just outside of Averill Park, N.Y.

    There is no evidence that most of the current migrants are looking for a handout.

    You really don't understand the cost associated for housing, health-care, education - the expense is enormous and it's not coming from any of these people, it's the good old American Tax Payer footing the bill.

    Also in the crowd from Ellis Island was the Great Grandfather to Dona Trump and just look at what that family has been able to accompli$h.
    And why can't that be true in the future for the immigrants from the south?

    They lack one very necessary ingredient, ambition.

    Of course there are some criminals in the migration, but "many" is an unsupported claim. Almost all of them are seeking escape from the conditions in their country of origin.

    Tell Kate Steinle parents that, she was shot just walking down the pier with her Father by a scumbag immigrant who was deported five times.

    As has been said many times, and some folks keep ignoring, much of that "Dossier" has been substantiated by investigation. None has been proven false.

    It has been proven false over and over again, it reads like a story out of Penthouse magazine, you got to be pretty sick and twisted to even write such
    a thing, but that is what hate and rage is all about.

    Nice twist!

    Correct. They walk in, surrender themselves to the border patrol and
    ask for asylum.

    Some are and some aren't. Many people are being smuggled in. Not usin a port of entry. Or, using a port of entry, but in a concealed container.

    What is your source for that info. If they are being smuggled in, or in
    a concealed container -- then how did they end up in the cages of the border guard?

    Who's "they?" There are illegals who come to the USA and don't commit many other illegal offenses, and there are illegals who go on crime sprees.
    There's no "they do this" or "they do that," but breitbart says 9 out of 10 don't show up for hearings; illegals aren't dumb, they know how to exploit
    the USA.

    The USA has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world - but that's not printed in the travel brochures. We have thousands of our own citizens & residents in cages, many for misdemeanor offenses. Do we let foreigners get away with stuff that we don't let our own people get away with?

    handout. There is plenty of evidence that they are simply fleeing from
    an intolerable situation.

    Where's that evidence? What's "intolerable" from your perspective? Low wages? Crime in the neighborhood? There's none of that here in the USA, right?

    What loophole is that?

    Sneaking in through the Rio Grande or deserts

    See above. You repeated yourself.

    Not subject to health screenings - tuberculosis is a-ok

    So fix that. Give them a medical screening. And btw, tuberculosis is a
    lot more treatable today than it was back in the days of Ellis Island.

    You really don't understand the cost associated for housing,

    They lack one very necessary ingredient, ambition.

    How on earth do you get that? If they had no ambition, they would not

    Of course there are some criminals in the migration, but "many" is an unsupported claim. Almost all of them are seeking escape from the conditions in their country of origin.

    Tell Kate Steinle parents that, she was shot just walking down the

    OK, that was one out of 100,000 plus. It is not representative of the

    They are not sneaking in. They walk across, and immediately turn themselves into the border patrol for processing.

    I often fantasize about my neighbors coming over and serving me lobster tail and champagne. And sometimes I dream about Iran giving huge donations to my Catholic church. You & me both have wild imaginations!

    If they do not get any health screening that is the fault of the border patrol, not them.

    Be sure to let the border patrol know that they're not doing their job then.

    They are not cockroaches, they are human beings. Your use of
    denigrating terms does not diminish their plight.

    I'm not saying they're insects, but the way they scurry off into hiding from ICE is reminiscent of the days when I lived in a lousy, dirty apartment building.

    Come illegally or via a legal loophole, which 90% abuse

    What loophole is that?

    The loophole is that the USA takes refugees. But the definition of "refugee"
    is lost in translation; the USA is referring to people who are coming from "oppressive" governments, but the word "oppressive" is basically the
    loophole. What's oppressive? There's a huge difference between oppression in the worst central american nation vs the worst in the world. Do we only care about central americans and nobody else?

    See above. You repeated yourself.

    We're on a never-ending loop. No matter how many times someone explains the difference between legal & illegal immigration to you, you still don't get it.

    So fix that. Give them a medical screening. And btw, tuberculosis is a lot more treatable today than it was back in the days of Ellis Island.

    The legal immigration system isn't broken; there's nothing to fix there. You want tuberculosis screenings for illegal immigrants? That doesn't fix the
    fact that they're jumping in line in front of applicants who aren't jumping
    on the loophole bandwagon.

    I'd rather have them screened for illegal immigration, drug smuggling, kidnapping, criminal background check in their home country, etc, and TB last.

    Once they get here, most are quite willing to work if allowed to. Who
    do you think picks those farm vegetables and fruits that you eat? They

    Once again, you're mixing and matching unlawful migrants with lawful ones. Seasonal farm workers are not illegal immigrants, or migrants whatsoever.
    They come with a job to do, they do it, and they go home. Don't disrespect
    them by tossing them in with the lowlives who jump the line in front of
    people who have invested money & integrity into their voyage to the USA.

    How about being told by the gangs "your 10 year old son joins our gang
    and works with us, or we will kill your entire family"? Is that
    tolerable in your mind?

    It's not tolerable, but it happens in the USA. Someone wouldn't be escaping that situation by coming here.

    How about "We're your government, and we think 100% of the children in that school are part of the resistance, so, we'll kill them all with toxic gas."

    Do you see the difference?

    These people are just as concerned with more people coming here illegally, because it could very well mean competition from even cheaper labor.

    you have no clue...

    Yeah I do have a clue and yes, what I have indicated is also the truth.
    You know why because some of the people who work in the fields were interviewed about this very real possibility of losing their jobs to cheaper labor and
    they have spoken words of concern.
    It's easy to understand why they would be concerned.

    Not enough people?
    When was the last time you went shopping for fruits and vegetables?
    The prices are not high and they have not skyrocketed due to a shortage. You're wrong plain and simple.

    Show me any reputable article that proves any of it false. As I sai

    Just because you don't like what it says, does not make it wrong or not reputable. In fact I'm totally confident that history will show this is
    exactly what happened, but I know it is terribly inconvenient how the truth can get in the way of lies and liberal hate. Too bad...

    There is already enough people in the country picking the farm

    Who do you think are doing those jobs now? I would venture to say that
    most of them are undocumented workers. Not only in that agriculture
    industry either. Recently they found out that Trump had many
    undocumented workers at his golf courses, probably doing the jobs that
    no one else wanted and making less than minimal wage at that.

    Tell Kate Steinle parents that, she was shot just walking down the pier with her Father by a scumbag immigrant who was deported five times.

    OK, that was one out of 100,000 plus. It is not representative of the hundreds of immigrants, no matter how much your supreme leader would
    like you to believe.

    Was her life any less important?

    Of course not. But as I said, her murderer was one of hundreds of
    thousands of undocumented aliens. But it is one instance in the
    hundreds of murders that take place every day.

    Is this what you believe in and support?
    You're cheering for the wrong ball club..

    In addition every single Democratic hopeful running for President was asked a question if they would support free health care for all of the illegals, everyone of these lost souls raised their hand, in a show of support.
    Is that what you think the American people want?

    Look who is STILL in The White House..

    For now. But as soon as he is voted out, criminal charges against him
    will be issued as a result of the things documented in the Mueller
    report.

    Going back to George Washington, we have *never* put a former
    president in jail/prison. AFAIK, we also have *never* put a former
    vice president in jail/prison. Spiro Agnew was convicted, but never
    spent a day in jail. Aaron Burr was acquitted of having murdered
    Alexander Hamilton. Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate
    States of America, was arrested after the war, but never charged or
    convicted.

    Then explain it to me again.

    Oh, and let's not forget about the many convictions and indictments made
    as a direct result of the Mueller SC inquiry. Or have you forgotten?

    Trump's campaign manager is still in jail. Some remain to be tried,
    and probably convicted. How many will get pardons is anybody's guess. Especially since we apparently have a "lawless" president in the WH.

    Here is how it works Dale, there can be no indictment, this requires >evidence.

    It is not current DOJ policy to indict a sitting president or vice
    president. That policy can be changed, but until then current policy
    remains in effect and will be followed. That is the reason Mueller
    stated in his public address.

    There is none, however there is lots of evidence against Hillary
    Clinton but she gets a pass, because she had said that she did not >intentionally do it knowingly, yeah... it does not work like that.

    Hillary Clinton was not a subject (or a target) of the Mueller
    investigation. But hey, Republicans have investigated Hillary
    Clinton and other Democrats ad nauseum for eight years, perhaps
    decades, and did not find criminality. But they kept trying.
    And trying. And trying. Maybe one day they might actually find
    something. Like, maybe she forgot to tie her own shoestrings.

    On the other hand, all this stuff Hillary Clinton and Democrats
    are said to do or have done is fertile ground for investigators.
    Just think of what would happen if Hillary Clinton were to turn
    herself in and tell everybody she is "guilty" of whatever they
    decide to charge her with. Nah. That's not their style. Their
    leader (Donald Trump) just told them to "lock her up" - without
    ever giving them a reason why.

    Now, in case you haven't read the Mueller Report (you do know
    where to find it?) please allow me to give you the 50-cent tour -

    Donald Trump was Vladimir Putin's favorit candidate. As a result,
    Russians helped get Donald Trump elected. The Trump campaign, headed
    by Paul Manafort (a convicted criminal), had more than 100 suspicious interactions with representatives (military intelligence) of the
    Russian government (headed by Vladimir Putin). After the election,
    Donald Trump obstructed justice at least 10 times (by Mueller's own
    count) and would have been indicted had it not been current DOJ policy
    to let a sitting president/vice president off the hook.

    We know for a fact that a sitting president/vice president can be
    indicted, due to the fact that AG Elliot Richardson was prepared to
    do so in regards to Spiro Agnew. The only reason why Spiro Agnew
    was not indicted was because he (Agnew) decided to resign from office
    first.

    After the Agnew incident, the DOJ implemented a policy of not
    indicting a sitting president/vice president. Remember the Dick
    who was the sitting president at the time.

    None of this includes ongoing investigations of Donald Trump (and
    others) by the New York state Attorney General, for hush-money
    payments, missing inaugural funds, financial fraud, etc. ...

    What your putting forward is a fairytale to coax your ego but it is a
    fantasy to give your life purpose. How sad is that?

    Democrats, Independents, and at least one former Republican, seem
    to be right on course. What is your excuse?

    Some do, and many do not. It has been going on for decades. We
    recently visited a large truck farm in Florida. When the owner/manager
    was asked if the workers (clearly Hispanic) were documented or not, his
    reply was a non-comittal "I don't know and I don't care". Even
    President Trump's companies hire non-documented workers. They get away

    *Bated breath vs baited breath*

    "Bated breath" is a phrase that means to hold one's breath due to suspense, trepidation or fear. The word bated is an abbreviation of the word abated, meaning to lessen in severity or amount. Bated is rarely used on its own as an adjective or verb anymore, but it lingers in the English language in the phrase
    "bated breath".

    "Baited breath" is a common misspelling of bated breath. Bait is a substance used as a lure to capture fish or other prey, therefore, someone with baited breath would probably have a terrible case of halitosis.

    couldn't indict trump... his hands were tied but only so far as indicting... but nothing stops the indictment from going forward once trump is no longer a sitting president...

    Biased? There was a 2 plus year investigation at the cost of millions that American tax payer paid for. These are the people getting screwed. That money could of spent on productive measures for the American people. Instead they pissed it away. On top of that there is a media that is connected at the hip at the Democratic Party going after the President with baseless accusations with every chance that they can get. You're calling *ME* biased?

    Your ignorance is showing. Making the suggestion that over one thousand law professionals use elements to *probably* achieve criminal conviction.

    Do you think, before you start pushing keys as they form into words?

    These so called law professionals wouldn't be professionals very long if
    they did as you suggest; using elements, the findings are based on the truth not fragments or as you have said "elements." Additionally there is no probably when coming to a verdict, which is not the same as probable cause of
    which could be used at the beginning stages of a investigation. This is a process that is further refined to either Yes or No, but never "probably"
    which is closer to maybe should never come into play in the court or in the rule of law.

    It is quite clear that you do not respect the word of law.
    Only your left ideology, which no longer resides at The White House.

    If Mueller did not indict, then there is no crime. DS>
    Wrong. Mueller was not allowed to indict a siting President, based on Justice Department Policy.

    So if is true, were they not aware of this before they began the investigation? I mean what would be the point of going through all of that, if they could not indict; to your point not allowed to indict a sitting President.

    It did not happen the way you are suggest, Your storytelling of the aftermath does not add up. Suggesting with the notion that they did a great service and produced multiple whatever, it is exactly that "whatever" because none of it matters if you can not deliver. No Collusion & No Obstruction only delusion.

    What is closer to the truth is that some of the top brass within multiple intelligence agencies went rouge and conspired with members of the Democratic Party to put this short bus in motion.
    The nastiness of these people and the intent is clearly seen.

    If Mueller did not indict, then there is no crime.

    AG Elliot Richardson threatened to indict Vice President Vice President
    Spiro Agnew on various charges, and was fully prepared to do so.
    Rather than be indicted (and convicted), Spiro Agnew chose to resign
    from office in disgrace. Agnew later went on to plead guilty to all
    charges and avoided going to jail.

    After that event, President Nixon ordered his underlings in the DOJ
    to come up with an excuse so he would not have to face the same fate
    as his beloved vice president. One lawyer in the DOJ came to his aid
    by coming up with the excuse that in his own opinion the DOJ should not
    have a policy allowing to indict a sitting president or vice president.
    This was in spite of the fact there was no precedent. As such, his
    legal opinion carried no weight. Absolutely none at all.

    Did Spiro Agnew commit a crime(s)? Yes, as he plead guilty.
    Did Donald J. Trump commit a crime(s)? Yes, even though he has
    never plead guilty or not guilty. Does it matter that neither
    of them was indicted by the DOJ? Not at all.

    The man said that if there were charges then he would of brought them forth
    to the fullest extent.

    Once he is out of office, I doubt anybody will really care if
    charges are brought forth or not.

    This is not an opinion, it is fact.

    Either the president has, or has not, committed a crime(s).
    So which is it?

    What these one thousand law professionals bring is an opinion.

    Guilty as hell seems to me a condemnation.

    When examined why this is their opinion, you find them motivated and driven

    DS>> conviction.

    GD> If Mueller did not indict,

    current federal policy is that a sitting president cannot be indicted so
    mueler couldn't indict trump...

    Current DOJ policy, not federal policy as a whole. Just an opinion
    by the DOJ, which can be changed at any time, by the AG himself with
    nothing more than his own say-so. There is no precedent of a sitting
    president (or vice president) having been indicted. That does not
    mean a sitting president (or vice president cannot be indicted).

    AG Elliot Richardson threatened to indict Vice President Spiro Agnew,
    an was fully prepared to do so. Rather than be indicted, Spiro Agnew
    chose to resign from office in disgrace. After that incident, Nixon
    decided to protect himself by ordering an attorney from the DOJ to
    give an opinion concerning the legality of the DOJ indicting a sitting president. We all know how that turned out.

    his hands were tied but only so far as indicting...

    It was not DOJ policy to indict a sitting president. That does not
    mean he could not have done so. But like a good Marine, Mueller
    decided to play by the rules (of his own department).

    but nothing stops the indictment from going forward once trump is no longer
    a sitting president...

    The DOJ can change its policy anytime it wants. But I doubt it
    will do so, at least as long as Trump remains president.

    then there is no crime.

    bullshit...

    If a tree falls down in a forest and nobody hears it fall,
    did such a thing ever happen?

    there are dozens, perhaps even hundreds of crimes perpetrated by trump...

    Not according to Trump.

    many are well known...

    Not by Trump or any of his followers.

    the epstein mess jumps to mind and that's fixing to be a nasty bit of
    business...

    Epstein was Trump's friend. Until Trump unfriended him.

    spoke to Dale Shipp about Re: War or Planefuls of <=-

    Your ignorance is showing. Making the suggestion that over one
    thousand law professionals use elements to *probably* achieve criminal conviction.


    Do you think, before you start pushing keys as they form into words?

    I do -- and I choose my words very carefully. No lawyer or prosecutor
    would ever honestly say with certainty that they can achieve a criminal conviction. Only a judge and jury can do that. BUT, they can say that
    all of the necessary elements for a crime are there -- as laid out by
    Mueller in his report.


    It is quite clear that you do not respect the word of law.
    Only your left ideology, which no longer resides at The White House.

    I do respect the rule of law -- something that no longer resides at the
    White House.

    So if is true, were they not aware of this before they
    began the investigation?

    The investigation started to find out what happened, and how the
    Russians interferred in our election in 2016. They did that quite well.
    They did not start out to investigate the President -- until he began to interfere with the Russian investigation.

    I mean what would be the point of going through all of that, if they
    could not indict; to your point not allowed to indict a sitting
    President.
    It did not happen the way you are suggest, Your storytelling of the aftermath does not add up. Suggesting with the notion that they did a great service and produced multiple whatever, it is exactly that "whatever" because none of it matters if you can not deliver.

    You are babbling incoherently and I cannot make sense of your words.

    NO Collusion & No Obstruction only delusion.

    That is what the Barr report said, but it is not the truth. The present Attorney General is acting as the President's lawyer -- not as the
    peoples lawyer as he is supposed to be.

    What is closer to the truth is that some of the top brass within
    multiple intelligence agencies went rouge and conspired with members of the Democratic Party to put this short bus in motion.
    The nastiness of these people and the intent is clearly seen.

    RUBBISH.

    Did Spiro Agnew commit a crime(s)? Yes, as he plead guilty.
    Did Donald J. Trump commit a crime(s)? Yes, even though he has
    never plead guilty or not guilty. Does it matter that neither
    of them was indicted by the DOJ? Not at all.

    With Spiro, real crimes were committed, so it stands to reason that the indication of pleading guilty was the right thing to do.

    The problem is that those principles are being used once again along with
    other recognizable desires of the past that speak of hunting someone down and destroying the man known as Donald J. Trump. The puzzle pieces that they are using today are different and are therefore deemed as incompatible, this does not matter to the left leaning organizers, they might as well have hammer behind their back, used of course to force the pieces to fit but they are becoming bolder and bolder to where the hammer is no longer hidden.

    Good Luck with that, they have not been successful with any of these attempts, they have all been a dismal miserable failure each and everyone of them. In-fact they are making the President stronger and what the strangest part of all of this is that they remain clueless about it.

    There is also truth in facts, where they delinquent with the truth they make
    up as they go along, and then sell it as fact.

    It is no secret that they do not like Trump and have been trying and failing with every attempt to get back to their version of Government, which is great for themselves, but it creates chaos and uncertainty for the American people.

    You do know what Make America Great means to the left, it is the opposite of President Trump's efforts and agenda in every-way.
    The left views Make America Great Again by having it's citizens being dependent on the U.S. Government. Additionally having the U.S. Government being dependent on other nations for it's survival - more like minimal life support leaving a nation barely alive and in fact crippled with no potential to becoming healthy again.

    The left liberal dream is to America inside out, it's efforts include The
    new green deal, that will make combustion engines a thing of the past, no planes in the sky either. No great numbers from from the Dow breaking records of 27,000 as been reached a few days ago. Socialism covering every corner of the U.S. Government.

    When examined why this is their opinion, you find them motivated and driv
    by their hateful and vile liberal agenda and their thirst for power.

    Bill Weld (R-MA) is a liberal???

    No he is not liberal but his thirst for power is apparent.
    He is also incredibility stupid if he thinks that he has a snowball chance in hell in becoming the next President of the United States of America.

    But the President did not interfere as this investigation was able to
    close without it being closed prematurely by order of the President which
    was also within his authority to do so. The President supplied complete transparency and even many hours of testimony by members of his staff to
    ensure this transparency.

    He was also correct to deem it as a witch hunt, but allowed it to continue.
    The truth of the matter that you're overlooking is that the left was itching
    to have him close it, then they could of used that against him too and making the decree that he was guilty of obstruction of justice, but they never got that opportunity to offer that deck of cards to give themselves a winning
    hand.

    That is what the Barr report said, but it is not the truth. The present Attorney General is acting as the President's lawyer -- not as the

    He is not doing anything of the kind the Attorney General is the people's lawyer. As well as the highest law official in the U.S.
    Just because you don't like the outcome does not make him the President's lawyer.

    I say again, what is closer to the truth is that some of the top brass within multiple intelligence agencies went rouge and conspired with members of the Democratic Party (including with foreign powers) with a former MI6 agent from Her Majesty's Government to put this short bus in motion.

    Absolutely. But what about 2024? Foreign opportunists are counting the days.

    If about 12 Republicans, and about 200 Democrats, would get their act
    together, they could make intelligent, prosperous changes in law. They could compromise on things. I'm willing to bet that the honorable President Trump would sign off on just about anything lawmakers toss his way, but they prefer being able to say "he probably won't sign it so we're not wasting our time."

    Thereby hurting citizens significantly, but barely touching the president.

    Hello Greg,

    Did Spiro Agnew commit a crime(s)? Yes, as he plead guilty.
    Did Donald J. Trump commit a crime(s)? Yes, even though he has
    never plead guilty or not guilty. Does it matter that neither
    of them was indicted by the DOJ? Not at all.

    With Spiro, real crimes were committed, so it stands to reason that the
    indication of pleading guilty was the right thing to do.

    Agnew plead guilty after leaving office in disgrace. Made a plea
    deal with the prosecutor to keep himself out of jail.

    Donald Trump may be guilty as hell, of whatever folks want to accuse
    him of having done. But to date he has not been charged. Not because
    he is, or is not, POTUS.

    It is DOJ policy not to indict a sitting president/vice president.
    This was not the case before Watergate. There was evidence showing
    Agnew to have been guilty of having committed various crimes. Ditto
    with Nixon. AG Elliot Richardson used the threat of indictment to
    get Agnew to resign from office. Nixon was also under investigation
    at the time, and had Agnew decided to stay, both would have been
    impeached and removed from office at the same time, thus making the
    speaker of the house (a Democrat) the POTUS.

    After Agnew resigned from office, Nixon needed to protect himself
    from the same fate. That is why he got a lawyer from the DOJ to
    write an opinion stating that indicting a sitting president or
    vice president would be unconstitutional. Even though there is no
    precedent. That opinion is the basis of the current DOJ policy.

    The problem is that those principles are being used once again along with
    other recognizable desires of the past that speak of hunting someone down
    and destroying the man known as Donald J. Trump.

    Donald Trump has not been accused of having committed any crimes.
    Then there is the question as to whatever crimes he may have
    committed as having been "high crimes or misdemeanors" as defined
    by the Congress, which would make those crimes impeachable offenses.

    The puzzle pieces that they are using today are different and are therefore
    deemed as incompatible, this does not matter to the left leaning
    organizers, they might as well have hammer behind their back, used of
    course to force the pieces to fit but they are becoming bolder and bolder
    to where the hammer is no longer hidden.

    How do you define what are "high crimes and misdemeanors"? Only
    the Congress can decide that, as they are the deciders, as stated
    in the US Constitution.

    A scandal is not a crime. It may be an embarrassment, but not
    necessarily a crime. Bill Clinton cheated on his wife. That is
    a scandal. A crime? Maybe grounds for divorce. But maybe his
    wife lets him do it, and also does the same thing. It could be
    that Donald Trump and his wife do the same thing as the Clintons.
    I don't know, and I don't care. Whatever they do in private is
    their own business.

    Donald Trump Jr has met with Russians at Trump Tower. This
    was a scandal, but not necessarily a crime. Even though it is
    known that several Russians were involved in trying to disrupt
    our elections.

    Did then-candidate Donald Trump instruct his son to meet with
    Russians at Trump Tower? If so, for what purpose? Are we to
    believe that Donald Jr was just a naive little boy who got in
    over his head?

    A lot of people have questions. Questions they want answered.

    Good Luck with that, they have not been successful with any of these
    attempts, they have all been a dismal miserable failure each and everyone
    of them.

    Stonewalling is never successful. Bob Mueller is scheduled to testify
    to Congress on July 24. This will be the beginning of the end.

    In-fact they are making the President stronger and what the strangest part
    of all of this is that they remain clueless about it.

    The latest poll shows four Democrats (Biden, Warren, Harris,
    and Sanders) leading Trump. And tied with an openly gay candidate
    - Mayor Pete.

    After the president's racist comments ("Go back where you came from")
    the next poll will show even more Democrats in the lead.

    There is also truth in facts, where they delinquent with the truth they make
    up as they go along, and then sell it as fact.

    Are you okay with a racist president, Republicans?
    I'm not. And most Americans aren't either. I condemn
    his words of hate, as should everybody. Regardless of
    political affiliation (or non-affiliation).

    It is no secret that they do not like Trump

    What is there to like? A man who hates black people and brown
    people is not a man to be liked by anybody. The American people
    deserve somebody better than that to be their president. Even
    if that somebody is a woman. Or an openly gay man, happily
    married to another man.

    and have been trying and failing with every attempt to get back to their
    version of Government,

    I want a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people."
    What kind of government do you want?

    which is great for themselves, but it creates chaos and uncertainty for the
    American people.

    The idea of democracy is correct. And far better than Trump's
    idea of authoritarianism.

    You do know what Make America Great means to the left,

    Ronald Reagan's concept of "Make America Great Again" was that
    of an optimistic future, where all could work together to make this
    place a better world for each and every one of us, including those
    who come here from foreign shores to call this land their home.

    That is a far concept from whatever version Trump wants to create.

    it is the opposite of President Trump's efforts and agenda in every-way.

    Of course it is. Tip O'Neil and Ronald Reagan got along great.
    Especially after 5 o'clock at the local pub.

    The left views Make America Great Again by having it's citizens being
    dependent on the U.S. Government.

    Lifting all boats is certainly far better than sinking all ships.

    Additionally having the U.S. Government being dependent on other nations for
    it's survival - more like minimal life support leaving a nation barely
    alive and in fact crippled with no potential to becoming healthy again.

    Encouraging Germany to make a deal to buy natural gas from Russia
    has certainly made America great again. Not only will Germany be
    dependent on Russia for natural gas, but so will the rest of Europe,
    as those countries will be dependent on Germany to deliver the same
    natural gas it gets from Russia. See how that works?

    It is kind of like what happened in the day just before WWII.

    Germany and Russia made a deal.
    A non-aggression pact.
    Each side would get what it wanted.
    Germany would get the Balkans.
    Russia would get the Baltics.
    And both would split Poland.

    Of course, Germany reneged on the deal in 1941
    and Russia had to then get help from the USA.

    What happens when the only source for natural gas that Germany gets
    is from Russia? And what happens when the only source for natural gas
    that other European countries get comes from Germany?

    Brexit is not about England withdrawing from the EU. It is about
    England withdrawing from Germany. And with Germany being controlled
    by Russia, who do you think will be controlling the USA when Trump
    is best pals with Putin?

    The Chinese have a saying -

    "There can only be one sun that rules the sky."

    I hate to tell you, the sun is setting in the USA.

    The left liberal dream is to America inside out, it's efforts include The
    new green deal, that will make combustion engines a thing of the past, no planes in the sky either. No great numbers from from the Dow breaking
    records of 27,000 as been reached a few days ago. Socialism covering every corner of the U.S. Government.

    We have to move forward with better technology, less dependence
    on fossil fuels. Coal is no longer feasable, and of limited supply.
    There is a worldwide glut of oil, and prices cannot be sustained.
    Investors stand to gain or lose on the market, depending on how it
    is doing. Kind of like playing slots at a casino. Play long enough,
    and the house will win. Not a sound investment, if you ask me.
    Unless you own the casino.

    When examined why this is their opinion, you find them motivated and
    driv
    by their hateful and vile liberal agenda and their thirst for power.

    Bill Weld (R-MA) is a liberal???

    No he is not liberal but his thirst for power is apparent.

    A former federal prosecutor, he was one of the 1000+ signatorees
    who says Trump is guilty of obstructing justice. He is also a
    former governor, who understands how to properly exercise the duties
    of the chief executive. That is why he makes a good candidate for
    the Republican nomination.

    He is also incredibility stupid if he thinks that he has a snowball chance
    in hell in becoming the next President of the United States of America.

    He was the Libertarian Party's choice for Vice President in 2016.
    Of course, that was just a warm-up exercise for his run for the
    Republican nomination for 2020. I am sure he will be getting plenty
    of votes in Iowa and New Hampshire ...

    Donald Trump Jr has met with Russians at Trump Tower. This
    was a scandal, but not necessarily a crime. Even though it is

    What the story is: The Russian babe Natalia Veselnitskaya was said to have
    dirt on Hillary, but when they met at Trump tower all she wanted to talk about was about a Russian Adoption from a Russian orphanage of which is clearly not dirt on Hillary Clinton.

    Source Factcheck.org https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/a-timeline-of-trump-tower-meeting-responses/

    July 8, 2017 The New York Times reports on the Trump campaign meeting with Veselnitskaya, who was described by the paper as a Russian lawyer who has connections to the Kremlin. Donald Trump Jr., in a statement to the Times, downplays the meeting, saying that the participants primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children. The statement makes no mention that he was promised damaging information about Clinton.

    July 9, 2017 In a second story, the Times reports that Donald Trump Jr. was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton before agreeing to meet with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign. The president's son issued a second statement that, in part, read: [T]he woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Mrs. Clinton, Trump Jr.s statement read. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was
    provided or even offered.

    Are you okay with a racist president, Republicans?
    I'm not. And most Americans aren't either. I condemn
    his words of hate, as should everybody. Regardless of
    political affiliation (or non-affiliation).

    In my opinion this entire thing is being blown out of proportion.
    Why? because they are using 'this issue' as just another means to go after Trump, mark my words it will backfire on them...

    You got it all wrong, The President said nothing wrong what so ever.

    or

    Did you forget what the so called Squad as said repeatedly w/ their anti-American & anti-Semitic comments. There is no doubt in my mind that the President loves this country deeply, it is why he ran for office.

    What he said was not racist in any way, as he did not call them name or call out their race signally or as group.

    What is very clear is that repeated statements each member of the squad show very clearly that they have no love or respect for America.

    Personally I do not believe these any of these 4 women
    represent anything American, their views are anti-Semitic and are infact
    inline more with Palestinian views.

    Want more proof.

    (You don't get to say these nasty Un-American when you work for the Government and not expect a reaction from the President of the United States.

    I recently sent a tweet of my own.
    "@SpeakerPelosi @realDonaldTrump This squad will turn the Democratic Party
    into a circus, worse then ever b4 Very hateful anti-American, & anti-Semitic comments. Mr. Trump is correct, They don't love our Country!
    We who are, Patriots stand with you, Mr. President Like a Rock!!"

    Encouraging Germany to make a deal to buy natural gas from Russia
    has certainly made America great again. Not only will Germany be dependent on Russia for natural gas, but so will the rest of Europe,
    as those countries will be dependent on Germany to deliver the same natural gas it gets from Russia. See how that works?

    Wrong Again- you got this ass backwards.
    Donald Trump suggested to the German Chancellor, that he thought that it was a bad idea, because of being dependent to Russia.

    "There can only be one sun that rules the sky."
    Similar to the Japanese - The sun will never set upon the Empire.

    Right.
    All this hysteria over Trump be accused of being a racist with his Go Home twitter remarks. Which was not racist at all.

    It was the right and equal to counter the comments that were very anti-American as well as anti-Semitic and have been going on for quite some time.

    You know why they are all attacking Trump?
    It's the Democrat thing to do. There is always over the top outrage
    (which is by design) in hopes it spark a reaction and stick so they will have political power) They have been trying to get him out since the day he was elected. Democrats will never admit to this but they are still outraged as well as embarrassed that they lost when just about every poll indicated they Hillary was going to win the Presidency.

    The best way to solve that issue would be to elect hybrid officials who are willing to compromise their liberalism or their conservativism. I know it
    would seem terrible for a president to ignore North Korea while signing a gay marriage bill, because we've seen that happen, but as long as that president handles the North Korea issue after he's done signing whiny stuff, then that would be good enough for me I guess.

    They are different thinkers and they do not look at America in the same
    way.

    The left is becoming unhinged with their hate, AOC talking about Nazi concentration camps at the border, migrants drinking out of toilets, and the rest of the anti-American, anti-Semitic comments as well as the unwillingness to walk ANY of those comments back. That within in itself proving "The Donald" correct and is not doing themselves or the Nation any favors. These things are what they truly believe. In my opinion they have no business in politics or even in the country. They would be happier someplace else, and so would much
    of the Nation's population who are Patriots. All of this is just adding to the fuel that will propel Donald Trump to winning again in November of 2020.

    Even before the recent outlandish rage from the squad, Mr. Trump has been at work making America Great again, under his leadership the Nation is
    enjoying lower taxes, better trade deals, breaking records in the stock market and with unemployment. What's the problem with any of that?

    Hello Greg,

    Donald Trump Jr has met with Russians at Trump Tower. This
    was a scandal, but not necessarily a crime. Even though it is
    known that several Russians were involved in trying to disrupt
    our elections.

    What the story is: The Russian babe Natalia Veselnitskaya was said to have >dirt on Hillary, but when they met at Trump tower all she wanted to talk
    about was about a Russian Adoption from a Russian orphanage of which is dclearly not irt on Hillary Clinton.

    Source Factcheck.org >https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/a-timeline-of-trump-tower-meeting-responses/


    The real story can be found in the Mueller report.
    Have you read it yet?

    July 8, 2017 The New York Times reports on the Trump campaign meeting with >Veselnitskaya, who was described by the paper as a Russian lawyer who has >connections to the Kremlin. Donald Trump Jr., in a statement to the Times, >downplays the meeting, saying that the participants primarily discussed a >program about the adoption of Russian children. The statement makes no
    mention that he was promised damaging information about Clinton.

    The NYT is not the Mueller report. Want to try again?

    July 9, 2017 In a second story, the Times reports that Donald Trump Jr. was >promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton before agreeing to meet >with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign. The >president's son issued a second statement that, in part, read: [T]he woman >stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were >funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Mrs. Clinton, Trump >Jr.s statement read. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense.
    No details or supporting information was provided or even offered.

    The NYT article is not the Mueller report. Nor is it any kind of investigation. It is simply a newspaper article. Nothing more,
    nothing less. Journalists slant their stories in order to appeal
    to a particular audience. Editors oversee those stories and decide
    which ones, or how much of an article, to publish.

    Are you okay with a racist president, Republicans?
    I'm not. And most Americans aren't either. I condemn
    his words of hate, as should everybody. Regardless of
    political affiliation (or non-affiliation).

    In my opinion this entire thing is being blown out of proportion.

    Of course it is. That is why it is called politics.
    But it does not change the facts. The president said
    what he said. And what he said was clearly racist.

    Why? because they are using 'this issue' as just another means to go after
    Trump, mark my words it will backfire on them...

    Most women and independents are appalled by the president's choice
    of words. So it is not really a question of party affiliation, or
    even about personalities. What the president said was objectionable
    to many people, especially women and people of color, but also
    others.

    You got it all wrong, The President said nothing wrong what so ever.

    Racism has no place in this country. When a president makes
    racist comments, he/she will be called out on it. As Trump found
    out the hard way.

    or

    Did you forget what the so called Squad as said repeatedly w/ their >anti-American & anti-Semitic comments. There is no doubt in my mind that the
    President loves this country deeply, it is why he ran for office.

    I do not care if all four of those women are full-blown socialists
    and hold beliefs you and others might not agree with. They are all
    women and people of color, as well as being US citizens. That makes
    them as American as you and me.

    What the president said about them was vile, mean, and hateful.
    He should be ashamed of himself, as well as others who continue to
    support him. He has never apologized, and I doubt he ever will.

    George Wallace was also a racist. A white racist who gave speeches
    written by a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Although he never uttered
    the "N" word in public, his use of a wink and a nod said it all.

    But at least George Wallace apologized for his antics. And went
    on to serve a fourth term as governor of the state of Alabama.

    Will black folks and people of color forgive President Trump for
    his antics, as they did George Wallace? I am sure Kanye West already
    has, even without an apology. But I doubt anybody else will.

    What he said was not racist in any way, as he did not call them name or call
    out their race signally or as group.

    Just because George Wallace never said the "N" word in public
    does not mean he was not a racist. His policies certainly reflect
    who he really was. Just as Trump's policies reflect who he really
    is. A bona fide racist.

    What is very clear is that repeated statements each member of the squad show
    very clearly that they have no love or respect for America.

    In America, people have the freedom to think whatever they want.
    In America, people have the freedom to express whatever they want.
    In America, people have the freedom to believe whatever they want.

    That does not mean that racism has any place in this country.
    There is absolutely no excuse for what the president said.
    None whatsoever.

    I do not agree with everything that anybody says, much less a member
    of Congress. And these four women are all US citizens, with the same
    rights as you and me.

    The president clearly singled them out because they are black, or
    people of color. He is playing to a crowd of white people, who believe
    in him as their god. As such, he can do no wrong, as he is the one
    who will grant them salvation from the evils that are before them.

    Personally I do not believe these any of these 4 women represent anything
    American, their views are anti-Semitic and are infact
    inline more with Palestinian views.

    Everyone deserves to be treated with human dignity, regardless of
    the color of their skin. That is why racism has no part in this
    country. It is not who we are, or what we stand for. As such, we
    should all condemn the racist words spoken by a racist president.
    Because that is exactly what they are. Racist.

    Want more proof.

    Nobody is saying that you, or anybody else, has to agree with a

    very least apologize for his racist comments. He has already been
    condemned by the House of Representatives as a racist president,

    Well, he is a motherf*cker as he remains married to the mother
    of one of his kids. Assuming the two of them sleep in the same
    bedroom (some Europeans claim they have separate quarters).

    Clearly the Dems, want to turn this into impeaching party.

    Not really. One Democrat got carried away and introduced articles
    of impeachment based on the president's tweets. But that effort did
    not go too well with other Democrats and it was tabled with no vote
    taken on the matter. This was his third try to get Trump removed
    from office, without success.

    It's simple folks if these nasty bit*hes didn't open their freakin mouths
    then we would not be here right now!

    If the president had not made those racist comments then he would
    not be in the fine mess he is in now.

    (You don't get to say these nasty Un-American when you work for the
    Government and not expect a reaction from the President of the United
    States.

    Vladimir Putin had members of Pussy Riot put in prison for what
    they said about him. Do we want the POTUS putting American citizens
    in prison because he does not like what they say about him?

    I recently sent a tweet of my own.
    "@SpeakerPelosi @realDonaldTrump This squad will turn the Democratic Party >into a circus, worse then ever b4 Very hateful anti-American, & anti-Semitic >comments. Mr. Trump is correct, They don't love our Country!

    Who cares if an American citizen does not love his/her own country?
    It is his/her right to freely express themselves, even if that speech
    is very offensive to some, or to all.

    Racism has no part in this country. When a president makes such
    vile comments, he/she will be called out on it. As Trump found out.

    Encouraging Germany to make a deal to buy natural gas from Russia
    has certainly made America great again. Not only will Germany be >LL>dependent on Russia for natural gas, but so will the rest of Europe,
    as those countries will be dependent on Germany to deliver the same >LL>natural gas it gets from Russia. See how that works?

    After Germany and Russia made a deal to build a natural gas pipeline,
    Trump criticized Germany for not agreeing to buy natural gas from the
    US. As if Trump had ever offered Germany any kind of deal.

    Donald Trump suggested to the German Chancellor, that he thought that it was
    a bad idea, because of being dependent to Russia.

    It is a bad idea. And worse, when you think it out further.
    Which explains why England chose Brexit over the EU. With Germany
    dependent on Russia for keeping their houses warm in winter, and
    the rest of Europe dependent on Germany for keeping their houses
    warm in winter, what do you think will happen when Russia turns
    off the tap to Germany? Lights out in Ukraine, hello Russian
    soldiers. Lights out in Poland, hello Russian soldiers. Lights
    out in the Baltics, hello Russian soldiers. Just like old times.

    The Chinese have a saying -
    "There can only be one sun that rules the sky."

    Similar to the Japanese - The sun will never set upon the Empire.

    Right now, the US is the sun that rules the sky.
    China wants to become the new sun that rules the sky.

    No that is NOT at all what I am saying.. Not even remotely, nor would I ever condone or want these things for migrants.

    What I said was...

    The left is becoming unhinged with their hate, AOC talking about Nazi concentration camps at the border, migrants drinking out of toilets, the rest of the anti-American, anti-Semitic comments as well as the unwillingness to walk ANY of those comments back.

    Meaning that... What this *nutcase* AOC is indicating as fact, she is also indicating as fact that migrants are drinking out of toilets.

    Now let's take a look at what the REAL facts are.

    There is no concentration camps at the U.S. / Mexico border, nor
    do they exist anywhere on the planet by the U.S. Government or sanctioned or allowed to exist by the Trump Administration. Migrants are not as a individuals or as a group / are NOT drinking water out of toilets.

    They each had an opportunity to walk back comments as they were interviewed
    by CBS News comments that were and still are anti-American & anti-Semitic, they chose not to walk any of their comments back.

    Conclusion
    If the Democratic Party wants to have Alexandria Ocasio Cortez as the face and voice of the Democratic Party, I have no objection.

    Trust me The New York Times would be the last publication in the United

    In America, people have the freedom to think whatever they want.
    In America, people have the freedom to express whatever they want.
    In America, people have the freedom to believe whatever they want.

    Your above statement about In America also fully applies to the
    President of the United States.


    That does not mean that racism has any place in this country.
    There is absolutely no excuse for what the president said.
    None whatsoever.

    Race, Race, Race?
    but people of color play the race card when it is convenient for them to do so.oh I see that's different somehow. NOT!
    The Donald did not mention color as in describing their nationality, he did
    not mention race, um gee not racist. Some of his cabinet members are African-American none of them think he is racist.

    I do not agree with everything that anybody says, much less a member
    of Congress. And these four women are all US citizens, with the same rights as you and me.

    The president clearly singled them out because they are black, or

    I do not know exactly what she might have said, nor what any one of the
    media outlets claim that she said -- but what I have observed from
    reporting on multiple outlets is that while the conditions under which
    the migrants are being held are not as dire as the Nazi concentration
    camps, they are quite bad. In fact, far worse than the camps where the
    USA confined Japanese-Americans in the 1940's.

    migrants drinking out of toilets,

    AOC may well have said something like that -- and so have other
    observers included members of Congress. It was reported that in some of
    the sites visited, there was no running water and that the migrants were
    told by the guards to drink out of the toilets. I've seen nothing
    disclaiming those reports.

    They each had an opportunity to walk back comments as they were interviewed by CBS News comments that were and still are anti-American
    & anti-Semitic, they
    chose not to walk any of their comments back.

    It is not anti-American to express criticism of government practices in
    the USA. That condition only exists in countries on Trump's favorites
    list like Russia and North Korea.

    <War or Planefuls of>

    In America, people have the freedom to express whatever they want.

    ... unless it's on the radio, on TV, in newspapers, ...
    In the press fredom index 2018, the USA are number 45, that's worse than South Korea and Romania.

    After Germany and Russia made a deal to build a natural gas
    pipeline, Trump criticized Germany for not agreeing to buy
    natural gas from the US. As if Trump had ever offered Germany
    any kind of deal.

    I remember a video where he asked Merkel three times if she wants to make a trade agreement with the US. And she told him three times that Germany cannot negotiate in its own, he needs to make an agreement with the whole EU, because it's a single market. :-)

    Donald Trump suggested to the German Chancellor, that he thought
    that it was a bad idea, because of being dependent to Russia.
    It is a bad idea. And worse, when you think it out further.

    Don,'t think further, get some facts straight, first. The new pipeline is in addition to those that have been used for decades. Currently every pipeline being used is either using Belarus or the Ukraine for transit. Nordstream as well as South Stream would bypass 3rd-party countries and directly connect the EU to Russia. The Ukraine usually is "a bit behind schedule" when it comes to paying gas bills, so Russia is looking for a way of prividing gas to the ones who pay, but not to the Ukraine, which means it needs a new pipeline. Because whenever they shut the pipeline to the Ukraine down, the EU got their gas from somewhere else. And of course, for the EU it's better to have a reliable source, so the idea is to bypass the Ukraine.

    Which explains why England chose Brexit over the EU.

    England voted for Brexit because they cast the votes without thinking about the
    consequences. Moreover, England does have very little oil and gas, it's Schottland that has it. Once Brexit is complete, Schottland may join the EU on its own and England will then have to import natural gas and oil from the EU.

    With
    Germany dependent on Russia for keeping their houses warm in
    winter,

    Not really. The Netherlands and Denmark have no problem compensating for Russia
    shutting down the pipeline.

    and the rest of Europe dependent on Germany for keeping
    their houses warm in winter, what do you think will happen when
    Russia turns off the tap to Germany? Lights out in Ukraine,
    hello Russian soldiers. Lights out in Poland, hello Russian
    soldiers. Lights out in the Baltics, hello Russian soldiers.
    Just like old times.

    Poland joined the NATO in 1999, the Baltics in 2004. I don't think Russia is considering invading NATO members to be a clever move.

    The left is becoming unhinged with their hate, AOC talking about Nazi concentration camps at the border,

    I do not know exactly what she might have said, nor what any one of the media outlets claim that she said -- but what I have observed from reporting on multiple outlets is that while the conditions under which
    the migrants are being held are not as dire as the Nazi concentration camps, they are quite bad. In fact, far worse than the camps where the USA confined Japanese-Americans in the 1940's.

    Not as dire as Nazi concentration camps?
    They are NOTHING like Nazi concentration camps, migrants are not being transported by train then murdered in gas chambers, Nor are they working in slave labor camps.

    The Democrats could fix this in 10 minutes if they would sit down with the President. They refuse to do so, they would rather exploit them for political gain.

    I doubt that these facilities of today could be compared to the camps in the 1940's. Today's facilities issues are caused by over crowding because of the number of people who were caught. No one asked for them to come here.

    AOC may well have said something like that -- and so have other

    You can dodge and weave all you want - it matters not, to deny it, truth is the lunatic known as AOC said that there were concentration camps on the U.S. / Mexico border. They do not exist.

    All of the elements that I have indicated were indeed in parts of Nazi concentration camps. Auschwitz, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka. At its peak, the Auschwitz complex, the most notorious of the
    sites, housed 100,000 persons at its death camp (Auschwitz II, or Birkenau).

    (point one)
    As far as it 'not part of the discussion.'
    It is relevant and necessary to the conversation because there are no concentration camps like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said there was.
    It was and still is a absurd and outrageous statement, and I shall exploit it for being as such.

    Maybe *she* should "go home" to Puerto Rico, it is a mess right now and they could really use her talents.

    The Democrats could fix this in 10 minutes if they would sit down wit

    Obama was the President for 8 years, From January 20, 2009 to January

    "Any alien who is present in the US or arrives in the US (whether or not at a designated port of arrival...), irrespective of such alien's
    status, may apply for asylum."

    It is not that simple as you have indicated or nearly as correct as you are showing.

    To establish eligibility for asylum or refugee status under U.S. law
    (8 U.S.C. 1158), you must prove that you meet the definition of a refugee (under 8 U.S.C. 1101).

    In brief, this means showing that you are either the victim of past
    persecution or you have a well-founded fear of future persecution. In the
    case of past persecution, you must prove that you were persecuted in your
    home country or last country of residence.

    The persecution must have been based on at least one of five grounds, either your:

    race
    religion
    nationality
    political opinion, or
    membership in a particular social group.

    Proving this connection between the persecution and one of these five grounds is one of the most difficult parts of successfully applying for asylee or refugee status especially because you must show that one of the five grounds was or will be a central reason for your persecution.
    etc.

    (point two)
    not part of the discussion, you are gatekeeper of nothing.

    Hello Gerhard,

    In America, people have the freedom to express whatever they want.

    .. unless it's on the radio, on TV, in newspapers, ...
    In the press fredom index 2018, the USA are number 45, that's worse than
    South Korea and Romania.

    The same index 2019 shows the USA at number 48. Germany is much
    higher, and had it not been for what happened so many decades ago,
    would probably be giving the top three (Norway, Finland, Sweden)
    a run for their money.

    After Germany and Russia made a deal to build a natural gas
    pipeline, Trump criticized Germany for not agreeing to buy
    natural gas from the US. As if Trump had ever offered Germany
    any kind of deal.

    I remember a video where he asked Merkel three times if she wants to make a
    trade agreement with the US. And she told him three times that Germany
    cannot negotiate in its own, he needs to make an agreement with the whole
    EU, because it's a single market. :-)

    That is a concept that may be above Trump's pay grade. :)

    Donald Trump suggested to the German Chancellor, that he thought
    that it was a bad idea, because of being dependent to Russia.
    It is a bad idea. And worse, when you think it out further.

    Don,'t think further, get some facts straight, first.

    Defending Donald Trump's POV is not easy. But somebody has to do it.
    Or at least try.

    The new pipeline is in addition to those that have been used for decades.

    Why the need for a new pipeline when there are others working now?

    Currently every pipeline being used is either using Belarus or the Ukraine
    for transit.

    Both Belarus and Ukraine border Russia. Where is the problem?

    Nordstream as well as South Stream would bypass 3rd-party countries and
    directly connect the EU to Russia.

    Directly connect Germany to Russia. Not necessarily EU to Russia.

    The Ukraine usually is "a bit behind schedule" when it comes to paying gas
    bills, so Russia is looking for a way of prividing gas to the ones who pay, but not to the Ukraine, which means it needs a new pipeline.

    Why not just shut off the flow of natural gas to Ukraine? Wouldn't
    that be the easiest way to collect on delinquint accounts? No need
    to build a new pipeline ...

    Because whenever they shut the pipeline to the Ukraine down, the EU got
    their gas from somewhere else.

    I do not believe Ukrainians like to freeze in wintertime. Better
    to pay the piper rather than become frozen popsicle.

    And of course, for the EU it's better to have a reliable source, so the idea
    is to bypass the Ukraine.

    Germans quite warm in wintertime, thanks to natural gas flowing
    in from wherever it comes from. Not sure Germans really cares where
    it comes from. If Ukraine was not reliable, as Russia suggests,
    then others most certainly would have noticed.

    I think Russia is not being totally honest about this.

    In 2014 Russia decided to invade Ukraine, illegally annexing
    Crimea as part of Russia. As a result, the US and EU imposed
    sanctions on Russia. These sanctions have cost Russia over
    $50 billion since then. In order to make up for the loss of
    revenue, Russia has to find new sources. Hence, selling
    natural gas to Germany. At bargain prices, of course.

    Since Ukraine will no longer be needed to transport natural gas
    to Germany, Russia will slowly but surly force Ukraine to give up
    more territory. Or take it outright, just as it did with Crimea.

    Which explains why England chose Brexit over the EU.

    England voted for Brexit because they cast the votes without thinking about
    the consequences.

    England knew full well what it was/is doing. It is going back
    to the days before. England vs The Continent. That is the way
    things were before WWII. It was only after the events of WWII
    that Bretton Wood came about. That has all become unraveled.

    Moreover, England does have very little oil and gas, it's Schottland that
    has it.

    Once the English install their new PM (most likely Boris Johnson),
    a new referendum will be passed, and Schottland will rise again.

    Once Brexit is complete, Schottland may join the EU on its own and England
    will then have to import natural gas and oil from the EU.

    This year will probably be the last The Open will ever be played
    in Ireland, as the northern part melts into the hole.

    With
    Germany dependent on Russia for keeping their houses warm in
    winter,

    Not really. The Netherlands and Denmark have no problem compensating for
    Russia shutting down the pipeline.

    Putin's daughter has been living with her Dutch boyfriend
    in the Netherlands. So he'd better be careful before shutting
    down the pipeline ...

    and the rest of Europe dependent on Germany for keeping
    their houses warm in winter, what do you think will happen when
    Russia turns off the tap to Germany? Lights out in Ukraine,
    hello Russian soldiers. Lights out in Poland, hello Russian
    soldiers. Lights out in the Baltics, hello Russian soldiers.
    Just like old times.

    Poland joined the NATO in 1999, the Baltics in 2004. I don't think Russia is
    considering invading NATO members to be a clever move.

    Article V of the NATO Charter has only been invoked one time -
    after the events of 9/11. Europe came to the aid of the US after
    it was attacked by a terrorist group known as al-Qaeda, by helping
    invade and maintain order in Afghanistan.

    In Kosovo, Europeans did nothing to stop ethnic cleansing by Serbia.
    The US had to act alone. This should have been a European problem
    to solve. Which it chose to ignore.

    NATO has become nothing more than an arm of the US military.
    That is what it is today. Not really a consortium of nations,
    working together, to defend the peace.

    Will NATO choose to directly confront Russian troops in the Baltics?
    Or in Poland? I doubt it. A new deal will be made. The leaders
    will smile for the cameras. And all will be well. Until next time.

    By weaponizing natural gas, Putin will be able to use that as
    leverage in order to get what he wants. Without having to resort
    to using Russian troops.

    Turn off the taps to Germany, nobody in the EU gets it either.

    England would not care, as it will not be part of the EU due
    to Brexit.

    Our guards spoke English rather than German.

    They are NOTHING like Nazi concentration camps,

    Our guards do not provide tattoo services ...

    migrants are not being transported by train then murdered in gas chambers,

    What we have are internment camps. A holding place, where nobody
    has any rights. A promise that a judge will hear their case is no
    guarantee for any of them will be able to stay.

    Nor are they working in slave labor camps.

    The conditions in these internment camps are dismal.

    We did not treat our own very well. Just because of the color of
    their skin. And that is the president's problem. He is a bona fide
    racist, and has blatantly exposed his views for all the world to see.
    He cannot explain any of this away, as there is no excuse for any of
    what he has done.

    We know how we treated our own. That is something that all of us
    should be ashamed of. And yet, here we are, doing the very same thing.
    The only difference being rather than yellow, the skin of migrants is
    brown. And those four Congresswomen? All of them US citizens, and
    black, with one them being refugee from Somalia who is a naturalized
    US citizen.

    We have a president who is attacking US citizens and non-citizens
    alike, just because he does not like the color of their skin.

    That is what I call a racist. No different than George C. Wallace.

    No. I take that back. George C. Wallace was a far better man than
    what we have currently occupying the White House. After all, he did
    apologize to everybody for his antics, going on to win a fourth term
    as governor of Alabama.

    Bottled water is available.

    People die of heat stroke. Even people in their prime.
    An NFL player, age 32, keeled over from heat stroke the other
    day. And there was plenty of water available to him.

    The fact of the matter is these people are being held at
    various places under inhumane conditions. Some are force
    to spend their time in cages. Others denied cots or matts
    to sleep on, with only a concrete floor to lay their head.
    Without blankets.

    Guards are putting thousands on their credit cards because they are running
    out of things like diapers.

    The Congress provided all the funding that is needed. However,
    the president has misused his authority by choosing to re-allocate
    funding elsewhere, which the courts have ruled as unconstitutional.

    The president created this mess. The president can fix it.
    If he does not know how to do so, or want to do so, he should
    resign from office and let somebody else do the job.

    It is not anti-American to express criticism of government DS>practices
    in the USA.

    You should learn the difference between criticism of government and when it

    They are lies designed to drive a wedge and nothing more.

    How do you know that they are lies? What direct evidence for that

    representatives. I have no reason to believe that they are telling

    administration for not fixing the problem and forcing the guards pay out of their own pockets. It should not fall to the guards to do that, it should be done by the administration.

    The executive branch does not make laws.

    The administration develops and enforces the policies that have created
    the situation. They should take care of it. No law is needed, just some
    small amount of human decency and a sense of right and wrong.

    So should you.

    No need for me to do anything for I already know when I hear such statements, I deem them as anti-American.

    It is not anti-American to disagree with unjust policy.

    You know how I can make this determination accurately as well as instantly?
    I am not with the party that thrives on misery and one that needs
    outrage as if it were a life-jacket.

    It would seem that you are with the party that causes that misery and
    outrage.

    <War or Planefuls of>

    Currently every pipeline being used is either using Belarus or the
    Ukraine for transit.
    Both Belarus and Ukraine border Russia. Where is the problem?

    There's no wall between them. :-)

    The Ukraine usually is "a bit behind schedule" when it comes to paying
    gas bills, so Russia is looking for a way of prividing gas to the ones >>who pay, but not to the Ukraine, which means it needs a new pipeline.
    Why not just shut off the flow of natural gas to Ukraine? Wouldn't
    that be the easiest way to collect on delinquint accounts? No need
    to build a new pipeline ...

    Not selling the natural gas anymore isn't very business-minded. If your bordering countries can't pay, you sell it to someone who can.

    Because whenever they shut the pipeline to the Ukraine down, the EU got
    their gas from somewhere else.
    I do not believe Ukrainians like to freeze in wintertime.

    Do you believe Venezuelans or North Koreans like starving?

    it comes from. If Ukraine was not reliable, as Russia suggests,
    then others most certainly would have noticed.

    Others do have noticed. The Ukraine has to pay 7.75% interest for their bonds, Germany is currently issuing bonds at 0% interest rate.

    Crimea as part of Russia. As a result, the US and EU imposed
    sanctions on Russia. These sanctions have cost Russia over
    $50 billion since then. In order to make up for the loss of
    revenue, Russia has to find new sources.

    In 2017 Trump invaded the White house and imposed sanctions on the USA, calling
    them tariffs. Do you think the people like paying more for what they buy while at the same time getting less for what they sell?

    England knew full well what it was/is doing.

    Yeah, sure. They're discussing a second referendum despite the fact that everyone knew what they were voting for and would cast exactly the same vote again. This totally makes sense, doesn't it?

    In Kosovo, Europeans did nothing to stop ethnic cleansing by Serbia.
    The US had to act alone. This should have been a European problem
    to solve. Which it chose to ignore.

    Actually, this is a problem of the United Nations and they did not vote for a military intervention, which is what all the criticism about this NATO operation is about.

    The President did not create this mess, and you don't know what your talking

    Everything was fine when Barack Obama left office.

    their skin.

    We were at War with Japan at the time.

    We put our own citizens in internment camps. Just because their
    skin was yellow rather than lily white.

    After the events of 9-11, another president chose to round up
    US citizens and put them in special places. Just because they
    held different religious beliefs (most of them were brown due
    to their arabic ancestry).

    Why does this president insist on doing the same racist things
    that some of his predecessors have done?

    The radical idea of killing
    yourself by smashing your plane into the American ships, this was disturbing >and was not seen before by the American's . The U.S. was protecting it's >American citizens uncertain where the loyalty of the Japanese within the

    The job of the POTUS is to protect the US Constitution and the people

    The democratic party needs misery and outrage, as we all need oxygen.

    Donald Trump made false claims about four black women, all of them
    US citizens. He claimed these black, Hispanic and Muslim congresswomen
    (all US citizens) "came from countries whose government are a complete
    and total catastrophye, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in
    the world."

    Three of the four congresswomen were born in the USA, the other
    one being a naturalized US citizen, being a refugee from Somalia
    (she came here as a child with her family from Somalia).

    Trump continued his hateful rant - "Why don't they go back and help
    fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,
    then come back and show us how it's done."

    People die of heat stroke. Even people in their prime.
    An NFL player, age 32, keeled over from heat stroke the other
    day. And there was plenty of water available to him.

    Yes I saw that. A previous member of the NY Giants.

    And what about those who are not athletes? Who are suffering
    of heat stroke and cannot get help in time? These are real people
    who are being locked up, for long periods of time, without access
    to proper health care or anything else. There have been at least
    seven children who have died as a result. This is shameful.

    The president created this mess. The president can fix it.
    If he does not know how to do so, or want to do so, he should
    resign from office and let somebody else do the job.

    The President did not create this mess,

    He can't blame it on Obama.
    He can't blame it on Hillary.
    He has only himself to blame.

    but he did get Mexico to do more and in a very big way.

    Mexico backed out. So did Guatemala.

    I don't mind calling the president a racist.
    I also don't mind if it hurts your feelings.

    You are free to say these things, it does not make them factual.

    When you disagree with the president, suddenly you're a bad person.
    That is what President Trump is telling those four congresswomen, and
    all who disagree with his worldview, no matter how wrong is or may be.

    The allegiance of those four congresswomen is not to the president,
    but to the Constitution of the United States of America and to the
    American people.

    The same applies to every member of Congress, regardless of party.

    Where is your allegiance?

    Says the turtle in his shell.

    I would describe this time with many words but *fine* would not be one of
    those words.
    high Unemployment, even Barack Obama said "The the jobs are gone and not coming back." Standing up for thugs like Trayvon Martin - Barack even said "If I had
    a Son he would like Trayvon. Let's not forget the thug Michael Brown.

    The corruption ran deep with his choice for top cop
    Attorney General Loretta Lynch
    Her stoic demeanor throughout the proceedings betrayed the thought-process of
    a well-connected, high-level law enforcement official who thought she was
    above the law. Nevertheless the new and troubling revelations provided by the former FBI director in his testimony before the Intelligence Committee have provided committee members with specific, concrete information and not just innuendo. There is now evidence of actual impropriety and not merely the appearance of impropriety. In light of this tangible evidence, it will be interesting to see how the former attorney general will attempt slither her
    way out of the corrupted hole she dug herself into.

    I doubt that these facilities of today could be compared to the camps >LL>>1940's. Today's facilities issues are caused by over crowding because >LL>>number of people who were caught.

    held different religious beliefs (most of them were brown due
    to their arabic ancestry).

    I think this is shear fantasy on your part, I do not remember any such facilities or any event of holding arabics.
    I remember 9/11 very well, I will not forget, nor will I ever forgive.

    The job of the POTUS is to protect the US Constitution and the people
    of this country. FDR failed the test. GWB failed the test. And now, Trump is failing the test. Miserably.

    What standard of measure are you using to make that statement?
    Look at the economy, unemployment, stock market - which means jobs, trade deals. Energy independence.

    That Democratic play book is tired and worn out and has become obsolete.

    And what about those who are not athletes? Who are suffering
    of heat stroke and cannot get help in time? These are real people
    who are being locked up, for long periods of time, without access
    to proper health care or anything else. There have been at least
    seven children who have died as a result. This is shameful.

    The parents hold no responsibility for their children's deaths, perhaps they shouldn't be parents, they should of had their children taken away, to foster care and perhaps they shouldn't have dragged them across the desert.

    The allegiance of those four congresswomen is not to the president,
    but to the Constitution of the United States of America and to the American people.

    Then it would be beyond the time to behave like it, I heard reports of
    the left even attacking Thomas Jefferson...
    Where does this end?
    With every hateful statement, every outlandish shocking sound-byte, they are dismantling the Democratic Party piece by piece.

    Except for Americans not being able to afford health insurance, or the fines that Obama imposed on people who couldn't afford health insurance, the
    ignored warning signs from North Korea, and the continuation of NAFTA and
    other unfair economic policies, yes, Obama left everything else just fine.

    What was that thing that Obama was offering during his campaigns? I can't remember, but I'm sure he delivered on it because that's what democrats do.

    The Framers of the Constitution wrote a document with the idea
