And I ask you, at what point does the necessity of self preservation come in? — ArguingWAristotleTiff
Did anyone actually watch the link I provided? — ArguingWAristotleTiff
That's dangerously irresponsible. Someone with reasons to immigrate illegally should never leave his family back home to suffer in his place. — Akanthinos

I do understand the actual purpose of it. It's part of the racket to protect criminals. — raza
Do you know why James Comey was criticized in the IG’s report? You know the report says nothing at all about there being any kind of conspiracy to interfere with the election on the part of the FBI, right? And that Trump shows no sign of comprehending what the report said, right? You know that Paul Manafort, who was Chairman of the Trump Campaign, is in jail facing criminal charges? So yes, will watch, with interest. — Wayfarer
The FBI knew about Paul Manfort's dealings years before he worked for Trump. Check the timeline of Manafort crimes. These crimes occurred under Obama. Manafort did his worse stuff in conjunction with a lobbying company owned by the brother of the former Bill Clinton chief of staff; Podesta. This connection might explain why Obama did not act, since it would not look good for the Clintons, even if they were not personally involved. I often wonder if it was a coincidence that the DNC was hacked through Podesta, who was the brother of a person connected to Manafort.
One may then ask, If Russian collusion was so threatening, why didn't Obama warn Trump of Manafort's shady dealings? They knew of his dealing years before Trump hired him. Why wait and let Trump walk in into a potential spying trap, and then try to pin the past, more connected to friends of the Clintons, onto Trump? It was a set up to deflect and attack. — wellwisher
Considering Russia's clear intended aim was to aid Trump in the election, — Jeremiah
Abandoning this investigation just because Trump is incredibly thin skinned, and allowing Russia to continue their behavior leaves American sovereignty exposed to a new age of mass political interference by a hostile foreign power — Jeremiah
The central focus is not Trump; investigating Trump is consequential and rightfully so. This is about Russia's meddling in our 2016 election and this interference has been confirmed by the FBI and the CIA. Considering Russia's clear intended aim was to aid Trump in the election, so obviously the Trump campaign should be under heavy scrutiny. You don’t need to be a detective to understand that line of thought. — Jeremiah
Right, so we're back to your baseless assertion that this is all just some conspiracy by a corrupt FBI, DOJ, and Congress, all out to get Trump because they just don't like him? — Michael
These are politicians. This is government. Government is corporate.
This isn't heaven and these aren't angels. — raza
There is no evidence that this is true.
There were ad bots, which are ineffectual, promoting either candidate.
Russia is made up of many business entities. These entities also compete with each other. No different than US business entities that compete with each other for business in other parts of the world. This is also what lobbyists do.
One can pluck out the entities and isolate them from the others in order to suit one's political and business ends. — raza
Is your memory only a few pages thick? This is a result of Trump's Zero-tolerance policy. The law does not always take children away and the most desirable goal is to always keep the children with their parents. If you run a stop sign should your children be taken away?
At any rate, all this talk about law is pointless, as it is MORALLY WRONG. Trump created this situation and he could stop it; the fact that he is allowing it to continue is just inhuman. — Jeremiah
Let me try to explain this as simple as it is Monday:
If asylum seekers, present themselves at a port of entry, they are not breaking any USA law. They, parents and children, will be kept together until they have seen the judge and have been permitted or declined political asylum, at which time they will be moved through the USA channels of placement or turned back to return to their own country. Full stop.
If asylum seekers, travel over the USA/Mexico border, NOT at a port of entry and they are caught, they have broken the law. IF they are traveling with children, whose parents have broken the law, the children will be separated from their parent who is charged with breaking the law. Until the parent sees a judge, the children are not allowed to stay where their parents are being held, in a correction facility.
Children in America get taken away from their parents, when their parents have been convicted of a crime or are in a detention center waiting to see the judge about their crime.
Why would we treat a non US citizen breaking the law, any differently than we would a citizen breaking the law? — ArguingWAristotleTiff
Again I ask, what would you suggest we do? — ArguingWAristotleTiff
