Sounds like Josh's stance is that immigrants should be able to just come into the US, futz around for a year, then decide whether they want asylum or they will return from where they came.  A TRIAL year, so to speak.  With nobody bothering you.

Sounds like your problem is with the law, not with me.

Josh, when I tried to log in from an android last night and this a.m. I got a "banned" screen.  Looks like someone else got it, too.  Seems to be okay from this desktop.  Is there a problem with IP addresses from mobiles and tablets?

Sorry - I tried to block a ton of spammers all at once and apparently your IP was among those I caught.

I have undone that ban and will see if I can fine tune it or if I am going to have to deal with that one piecemeal.

It's not like the Russia probe is like Benghazi or Whitewater.

Well... they're right that it isn't!

They just have it backwards, more than a little bit.

And Budget Negotiations broke down over the number of beds allowed at the border.
Dems want criminals counted equally wth all others.
Virginia squirrel alert the most obvious motive for this new demand.

Facts

- The limit on detention beds for people rounded up in the interior is not a new demand.  It was part of the Democrat’s opening negotiation 10 days ago.
- It is not about “criminals counted equally” just the opposite. The point of the bed limit is to get ICE to focus on detaining criminals over non-criminal and/or non-violent offenders.
- Republicans, through ICE, have the ability to provide facts on the current 20,000 detained from the interior to make the argument that they are all criminals but for some reason have not done so.
- Trump, after having ten days to respond to this issue, is doing so now at the last minute only after it has become clear that negotiators, from both sides, are not giving him the requested wall money.

As you were.

LOL Swing and another miss. You do that a lot.

Well, if that didn't do it, I don't know what will.

(I suppose the fallback of reading the manual would be next!)

I watched some of Beto's rally in El Paso.

He certainly is high energy. I don't think that will be enough, but I have certainly been wrong before.

He doesn't feel viable to me.

Works fine now with Android.  Thanks - i don't mind a small inconvenience if you bagged some spammers.   Agree re Beto.  He has charisma and all, but just doesn't seem quite there.  Needs to scuff up his shoes a little.

Can't say anything of substance, so he attacks Beto for being too near Trump's loud speaker system.

Talk about your salient talking points!

And you thought that was worth posting?!

Hah!
