I am living proof that one can be born a Somali, raised as an anti-Semite, indoctrinated as an anti-Zionist—and still overcome all this to appreciate the unique culture of Judaism and the extraordinary achievement of the state of Israel. If I can make that leap, so perhaps can Ms. Omar.

Just more slander.  The assumption is that the fact that she is of Somali descent (her family moved from there when she was four) she has some built-in existing prejudice against jewish people that she has yet to overcome.


I believe she does

Why would Trump be overjoyed at his own impeachment. No the anchor babies and their humongous chain families now able to share the wealth unimpinged. No the jihadis that want to destroy the barking dog infidels, the Israel entity, and wish death to America; hint 9-11, the Boston bombathon, Ft Hood, Riverside, Orlando, etc. etc.


Wasn't Omar censored by her own party for making crude, primitive, anti-semitic comments? Thank you Nancee.

Reno was a law enforcement officer. Barr is a co-conspirator. Starr was appointed as an independent counsel, Mueller as a far more limited special counsel. Starr was a rabid weasel. Mueller is a republican who investigated so called republicans, and was reluctant to hurt his own people. Starr was happy to sink the country to bolster his reputation as the no. 1 with him hunter.

Also Starr's was specifically an impeachment inquiry.  Mueller's was not, and was we now know never going to have teeth because of the OLC opinion.

How different would the report have been (and Mueller's testimony yesterday) if he was asked to render an opinion on impeachment rather than prosecutable criminal offenses?  I don't think there can be any debate where Mueller would have gone with that.
He already did.
Nancy said no, though.

I believe she said not at this time.

Quote
Sixteen US Marines were arrested Thursday for alleged involvement in various illegal activities ranging from human smuggling to drug-related offenses, according to a statement from the Marine Corps.

The arrests took place in a dramatic fashion on Thursday morning at Camp Pendleton, California, during a battalion formation.
"Information gained from a previous human smuggling investigation precipitated the arrests," the statement said. "None of the Marines arrested or detained for questioning served in support of the Southwest Border Support mission."

Eight other Marines were also questioned on their involvement in alleged drug offenses unrelated to today's arrests, the Marine Corps said.

Yeah, that southern border and its human trafficking. I feel safer with the marines on the job, don't you?

Are you saying I was against her for simply winning her election?

Please.

Even now I keep an open mind.  Waiting to watch it play out.

Always the impression I'm left with after reading one of your posts, kiidcarter8; now there is a poster who is keeping an open mind.

Like how, as you said, you still haven't endorsed a candidate for President in 2020.  None of us know who that will possibly be!

Do I need to tell you guys which candidate to run, as I did with Obama?

Not sure there is one who can win this time but I will give it a shot if you wish.

Nope.

And no, you have a mind that is anything but open, which includes an inability to self-assess.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/25/politics/family-separation-documents/index.html

Quote
Hundreds of red flags were raised internally within the Trump administration about how families were being separated at the US-Mexico border, including some from months before the controversial "zero tolerance" policy was announced, according to documents reviewed by CNN.

The documents include anecdotes of children allegedly blindsided when they were separated from their parents after being apprehended at the southern border. One referral received by the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties describes a 14-year-old who said he was separated from his father in May 2018 "after a meal break while in custody, and was told by officers that his father would be deported."

In another, an 11-year-old stated that he "was called aside by an officer and then he did not see his father again." A 10-year-old with "poor communication skills" was allegedly separated from his mother in June 2018.

Taken together, the documents provide a rare glimpse into how one part of the Trump administration -- the Department of Health and Human Services -- was flagging cases of concern to another part -- the Department of Homeland Security -- during a tumultuous time that eventually resulted in the separation of thousands of families apprehended at the southern border.
HHS' Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is charged with the care of unaccompanied migrant children, instructed staff to submit significant incident reports for alleged cases of family separation once the agency started seeing an uptick in cases, according to the agency.

The refugee agency was unaware of the "zero tolerance" separation policy prior to its public announcement in April 2018, and the reports were submitted as incidents of abuse in Homeland Security custody and sent to DHS' Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, an agency official said. The zero tolerance policy was officially implemented in May and ended in June after a public outcry.

850 referrals. twelve under 1 year old.
