Nah, it's not an invasion

It’s not like Muslim terrorists had trouble ever getting into the US…

And Donald “I’m the biggest friend of Israel ever” is just gonna offer plenty of red meat for terrorists.

The others raised great points, which as always are ignored by BiT (too racist) and tlynn (too boozed). This breathlessness over something that happened in Russia is hilarious from the folks who want to elect a guy who will gut the FBI because they hurt his feelings.

You need to watch comedian Brian Simpson. He'll help you understand racism.
You need to be careful who you call racist. It generally may reflect a weakness in your own mind that, hmmm, could that be me?

You need to be careful when you call someone a boozer, since it may reflect a weakness in your own mind...

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Yada.

We already have evil and/or twisted people here, so what's a few more - that's your argument?

No, my argument is that if you're serious about limiting killings like this, instead of scoring political points by supposed worrying about hypothetical ISIS boogeymen, take steps to reduce the number of automatic weapons in this country.

Hypothetical isis bogeymen?
That's funny I don't care who yar.

He and Bobbles are a real comedy team.

What would Donny have to do before you'd support prosecuting him for his crimes? Or is he simply immune from the same laws the rest of us have to follow? --Bob

Well, first of all, he would have to commit an actual crime. That would be kind of important. Not being who he is and having crimes manufactured and assigned to him from multiple directions coming at the same time.

For example, if he destroyed emails and hard drives that were under subpoena, I might have cause to be concerned. If he very publically and unilaterally intervened with threats of withholding approved federal aid to protect the company that paid Donald Jr, Eric or Ivanka millions of dollars for expertise they did not possess, I might look twice. You know, things like that. Things that all of us except prominent democrats have to follow.

[ Secretary Clinton did not deliberately and knowingly evade a subpoena.

You are, um, being untruthful.

You're wrong. Faux "News" has been lying to you. Again.

Lack of mens rea is precisely why she wasn't charged.

Leaving that aside, are you seriously taking the position that someone who deliberately failed to cooperate with demands to return classified documents, and lied in order to conceal his possession of those documents, shouldn't be charged? --Bob

Yeah. mens rea. Sure. That's the ticket. Just like the senility excuse for biden. You are a piece of work. And so are the shitheads that think up this bullshit and get away with it.

Someone else expressed it better than that.
"In the matter of Hillary Rodham Clinton and her secret private e-mail server, there has been a great deal of talk about “mens rea,” the legal doctrine that people generally should not be prosecuted for crimes if they had no criminal intent. These arguments are pretty much 100 percent poppycock, inasmuch as Mrs. Clinton took conscious steps to violate the law, when she either knew or should have known that she was violating it, to achieve an illegal end, that being the evasion of ordinary oversight. Mens rea does not mean, “Well, we don’t think she really meant anything very bad, and she seems a decent sort, so, no prosecution for her.”

As I have written on a number of earlier occasions, it is necessary to keep this in mind: We are governed by criminals. The belief that sufficiently powerful political actors are constrained by statute or Constitution is a fiction, one that we would do well to liberate ourselves from immediately. "

No Bob, "Faux News" isn't the one lying here. She did not lack the intent - Comey simply chose the chuckenshit way out by claiming they couldn't (wouldn't) prove intent.
Unlike you, I will wait for the evidence to come in on Trump's case

Bullshit. You won't believe what you see. Or at least, you'll never admit that you believe it.

Curious, by the way, that you're waiting for the evidence to convict Donny, in contrast with finding Secretary Clinton guilty even though the federal official who handed Donny the election concluded that the evidence wouldn't support a conviction. --Bob

Lol
I didn't "find" Clinton guilty, bobbles, I believe her to be. It's called having an opinion based on the evidence we've seen. The biggest "crime" Trump is guilty of is beating Hilz, for which he's still paying.

Migrants storm border in El Paso, Texas, overwhelming National Guard

Nothing to see here folks. Go ahead, vote for more of it.

Hundreds of migrants stormed across the border into El Paso, Texas, this morning, overwhelming Texas National Guard soldiers as they breached razor-wire barricades in a bid to push further into the United States.

Michigan GOP legislator posted about
‘illegal invaders’ at Detroit airport. It was Gonzaga’s March Madness team

A Republican state representative in Michigan, Rep. Matt Maddock, claimed on social media on Wednesday night that he had photo evidence of “illegal invaders” arriving at Detroit Metro Airport. One of the two photos Maddock posted on the platform called X, formerly known as Twitter, showed an Allegiant Air plane. The other photo showed three buses. Maddock wrote: “Happening right now. Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?”

Maddock’s claim is false. The buses were not for “illegal invaders”; they were for the men’s college basketball teams that landed at the Detroit airport to compete in the NCAA tournament known as March Madness. The only Allegiant Air flight to the airport on Wednesday was a charter flight that carried the team from Gonzaga University, which plays Purdue University on Friday.

“The four men’s basketball teams competing in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 at Little Caesars Arena arrived at DTW Wednesday evening. The buses seen in a photograph circulating online were transporting the basketball teams and their respective staffs,” the Wayne County Airport Authority, which operates the Detroit Metro Airport, said in an email to CNN on Thursday.

It’s not certain which team took the particular buses shown in Maddock’s photo. But Barrett Henderson, Gonzaga University’s assistant athletic director for communications, confirmed to CNN on Thursday that the team flew on an Allegiant plane, landed at Detroit Metro airport on Wednesday evening in the hour before Maddock’s post, and boarded buses that were waiting at the airport. An Allegiant spokesperson said Thursday that a charter flight carrying the Gonzaga team from Spokane, Washington, was the only Allegiant flight to the Detroit airport on Wednesday. That is corroborated by an online flight-tracking website. As for Maddock’s claim about “illegal invaders” getting a police escort? Henderson confirmed that the bus carrying Gonzaga’s players received a police escort to their hotel. Rob Anderson, sports information director at Creighton University, told CNN that their team landed at the airport on Wednesday afternoon, had buses waiting and received a police escort as well.

Hundreds of social media users quickly disputed Maddock’s post on Wednesday, but Maddock refused to concede. He replied to one of the many people who pointed out the plane and buses were likely for NCAA basketball teams: “Sure kommie. Good talking point.” Maddock continued to dig in on Thursday morning. He wrote a new post saying, “We know this is happening” and that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are “pouring into our country.” He added: “Since we can’t trust the #FakeNews to investigate, citizens will. The process of investigating these issues takes time.”
