    FTFY
    No one is bothered talking about or in support of Trump around conservatives or moderates. It is when the leftists enter that we can expect name calling, screaming, protests and other ridiculous and impolite behaviors. You might want to consider why you never are around for the reasonable conversations.

    Republicans control all branches of government. All sitting Democrats have sponsored a bill to stop this. No Republicans are interested. Conclusion: Republicans want this. And they want it, because they believe that their voters want this.

    This is something that a significant amount of Americans want. They are happy about it.

    The Democrats bill "stops this" by casting catch-and-release into law. The Democrats are trying to use THINK OF THE CHILDREN to force open borders.

    The Republicans also have bills that will fix this. It includes more judges and returning families to their country of origin intact if they can't be processed in the time allotted. What's your beef with that?

    The process to seek asylum is to show up at a port of entry to the closest country and ask for it. A) Mexico would be closer than the US. B) They aren't showing up at a port of entry. They're sneaking across the border.

    So you're going to just go right ahead and ignore that Congress wrote a law to do this because there was such a large problem with human trafficking? Why? Because Rachel Maddow fake cried on TV?

    So Clinton didn't have a "surplus" in the late 90's. Newt Gingrich did. Thank you for that.

    We're being trolled; probably as a point of distraction from economic issues that otherwise would dominate the mid-term elections .

    Let's see. What could the Democrats possibly want to distract us from? Maybe a report that has uncovered their "deep state" actors and put their obstruction of justice on clear display?

    How do you know who their parents are?

  10. Why do you think people are suddenly complaining about this, and weren't do it last year?

    Because, Trumps popularity was shooting up due to the pacification of the Korean peninsula, and, grasping for straws, the Democrats glommed onto a smear campaign centered around some pictures from the Obama administration.

  11. How exactly do you think they become "unaccompanied" without first being taken from their parents?!

    How do you know who their parents are? There is a thing called human trafficking, you know.

    Some people suggest having more women as generals etc. might reduce the number of wars, casualties etc. but I guess that argument is hard to validate.

    Wouldn't those people be sexists? In order to get different results, she would have to do things differently. If she is behaving differently, is it because she is a woman? Therefore, the presumption must be that women behave differently. They are different.

  15. Correct. There is no legal impediment to handing the data collected over to DoJ prosecutors (not Lorretta Lynch), and letting them indict Hillary.

  16. Clinton didn't deserve to win.

    Neither did Trump.

    We are all fucked.

    I agree. Fucked with the highest employment numbers in history. What a crap way to live.

  17. Attempting to subvert the United States of America into an authoritarian dictatorship and the government into some Dominionistic nightmare out of The Handmaid's Tale

    That is incredibly funny given what is actually happening.

  18. No. It was the fruit of the investigation that created the jam.

  19. I would tend to agree with you, except for ALL available evidence contradicting your weak narrative.

  20. After the FBI twists itself into knots to say that Clinton wasn't guilty of anything, other people were coming out saying, "Look! We've found a bunch of those missing emails you haven't looked at!" Given the previous twisting on top of the tarmac meeting, if Comey didn't take action on them, then the opposition would have even more plausibility to scream, "See!! Cover UP!!", and the previous twisting would have been for naught.

    By re-opening, taking a peek, then shutting it down again in short order, Comey, et.al., hoped to sway the narrative back to "nothing to see here." The slate could not be clean until they pretended to look at the evidence and find nothing.

  21. Compare this to when the FBI kicked down doors with their guns drawn while investigating "collusion".

  22. Actually, one theory is that Strozk unwittingly threw it to Trump. He sat on Weiner's laptop for a month, hoping it would go away. When the NY prosecutor's office raised it as an issue, Comey had to take action, or look corrupted.

  23. I'm way more concerned with the obviously false lie about Comey not making decisions based on politics. It looks to me like the FBI covered for Clinton when they thought she would win and Comey got nervous when it became obvious to him she might lose. Had she won we wouldn't have found out about any of this.

    This! 100 times this! Comey's bi-polar actions make no sense under any other scenario.

    The last apartment I lived in had car port that was just a big (very big) metal table. Four steel posts with a currogated (sp?) steel roof.

    Replace the roof with a solar panel. Stick a converter under the panel. Tie into the parking lot lighting circuits to feed power back into the grid (those aren't being used when the sun is out).

    The apartment management charged $50/month for each space in those carports, and most were filled.
