Sure, the Russians are known to have hacked a couple counties in Florida, but the governor says he is sure no votes were altered and further, he is not allowed to disclose which ones.

Graham unveils bill to end asylum claims at US border, return minors to home countries

Not a big fan of LG but this makes sense.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/graham-unveils-bill-to-end-asylum-claims-at-us-border-return-unaccompanied-minors-to-home-countries.

It’s a bad plan that will fail and go nowhere. It is creepy and racist and betrays American values, so I see what you like about it.

Or a great way to end the invasion of the border/s and seal them.

[FlyingVProd]

I have a friend who loves people, and he is a Christian and he wants to save every soul. He is disappointed because he lost a friend on Facebook over his political ideas.

My Mom always taught me when I was growing up that people are allowed to have their own opinions, and that is a great part of America, we are free to be ourselves.

And it is true that we need to be ourselves because everyone else is taken. Be yourself, this is America and you are free to have your own thoughts.

People who unfriend you over politics are missing out on what America is all about. What makes us great is that we are all free to be ourselves.

I have friends who are gay, I have friends who are communist, I have friends who are pagans, and in America they are all free to believe whatever they want.

By the way, I think Sabrina Cervantes is doing a great job for California, we may not agree on everything, but she is bringing jobs to California, and she is doing a great job.

Clearly this is an idea whose time has come!

No guns for teachers!
Some teachers downunder are nutz! [maybe some in America too?]...who shouldn't be allowed within a mile of a gun.

Instead, time to introduce uncle bambu's school security measures.

[facilitatorn]

Time for Bambu to wrap himself in bubble wrap and seal himself into a bunker. Don’t let the pesky internet spoil your repose.

Australia "turned back the boats"...no more asylum seekers rocking up on its shores.
America has 'no' boats arriving...but it does have 'caravans'.
"No asylum approval, no entry" should be the new rule.

First question on mrs bambu's recent US entry holiday travel application;

"Do you have a criminal record"?
Then a long list of other questions...and she was from a country where a visa is not required, just an approved E application.
She couldn't just waltz into America over the border, or fly in...without approval from the US govt.

Re:  "Republican screw ups"

Well... we got the important one right in 2016.

McCain couldnt get it done.  Mitt (who should have been nominated in '08) fell short in '12.

Got it right this time.  Nominated a guy/gal who could win.

Let's see if you guys can match.

No, Kiiid, you got it wrong.

This is what I mean about being unable to admit mistakes.

You will burn for your sins. Unfortunately, so will the rest of us.

I happen to think this presidency is going just fine.

You don't - because you think he is a loud mouth prick.

Open your mind to the state of the nation.

[FlyingVProd]

I have been to France, and to Italy, and to Mexico. For Mexico I did not even need a passport. France never even asked to see my passport, and in Italy I had to have my passport stamped upon arrival and then stamped again upon departure. No forms were needed for any nation I have been to, and yes, I just waltzed in.

I guess in the future Europe will require everyone to get a travel visa, in 2021 I will have to go through a process to travel to Europe.

But right now I can just waltz into Europe, and I can go wherever I want. All that I need is my passport.

And I am allowed to own businesses in Italy, and real estate, and if I want to live in Italy I can get Italian citizenship easily, it is a piece of cake to get dual citizenship, but I still have to pay taxes to the USA regardless of where I do business.

Right now I want to go to Monaco, and I want to meet Charlotte Casiraghi, although, she comes to the USA often. I can just waltz into Monaco, no problem, I fly into Paris, switch planes and go to Nice, and then ride the train from Nice to Monaco. I have been to Nice when I went to the Cannes Film Festival, and I rode the train from Nice to Cannes, and that same train goes to Monaco.

I love that we are free to travel, and I love to travel and I love meeting new people and eating at new restaurants, and trying new foods, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Red got a tax cut and you got a new car last year. Fine presidency!

No, Kiiid, open your mind to what I am saying.

He is a loud mouthed prick. It's not why I think this presidency is going poorly. I thought Bill Clinton was a loud mouthed prick, too, if more cogent.

I think the refusal of this president to address Russian interference with our elections is terrible.

I think the failure of this president to even begin to the address global warming is criminal.

I think the active efforts of this president to unravel environmental protections is unconscionable.

I think the decisions of this president to undo decades of civil rights protections is evil.

I think the embrace of dictators and "strong men" leaders by this president is irresponsible.

I think the repeated undermining of our intelligence services, the FBI, and the news sources are revolting, uncalled for, and destructive of this country.

I think the verbiage and actions of this president that are tantamount to endorsement of white nationalism are hateful and incite violence against minorities, including (but not restricted to) Muslims and Jews.

Is that clear and specific enough for you, Kiiid?

Can you hear me now?!

To paraphrase you, "Open your mind to the state of the country and the world."

This is half+ all the trouble...people just allowed to go "waltzing matilda" into Europe etc wherever and whenever it suits them, no checking/ID much.
Maybe how France/Europe/London have been blown up many times.
I like America's system better, fingerprint and face scan all entrants.
Scan the passport and the approved E application will be on record.

You are Tony V...good guy...O happy days for Europe when you enter.

No checking...you could be Tony B...seriously bad guy...only bad days for Europe when he and his ilk enter.

"....the Congresswoman mentioned the role that Palestinians played in helping to provide a safe haven for Jewsih people following the tragedy of the Holocaust"

- Denzel McCampbell, Thalib communications director


How about the role Palestinians played in the ACTUAL Holocaust?

Yeah. How about the role Palestinians played in ACTUAL Holocaus?
