Careful, your lack of compassion is showing. ![](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r481/2peasrefugees/Smilies/rofl.gif) That is hilarious coming from someone who's shown no compassion for the situation. Your own words show nothing more than a mission to bash and there are no other posts from you showing otherwise. “Kelly says separating families at the border isn't cruel: "The children will be taken care of — put into foster care or whatever" hill.cm/fI9dq6F” “Isn’t cruel.” ”Or whatever”. Really? What a first class asshole. It would appear being an asshole is the top requirement needed to work in the trump administration. Hint: Noting that the the comparison being made is apples and airplanes does not mean that I have no compassion. Sometimes one doesn’t need to state the obvious but in your case, I’m finding, its a necessity because it's clear you can’t look past your own narrow view of the world. Here let me make it clear. The obvious here is the children are being unduly punished because of the actions of their parents. Some might even say a traumatic event in these kids lives. A misguided decision to try and stop the families from crossing the border. I use to think this country wouldn’t declare war on kids because of the actions of their parents as these are the actions of a third world country. But it seems the current administration is hell bent on dragging this country down by their actions and their “whatever” attitude especially when it comes to these kids. Your comment “When Sarah and her family or Trump and his family attempt to enter another country illegally, then you can make the comparison. Until then...”, made it clear that it was ok to declare war on these kids. So what does that say about you?

Based on your made up scenario. For someone who a week ago complained about the big mean liberals posting on the conservative thread, you sure do get a kick out of coming in here and trying to rile people up and baiting them. Hypocrite; party of one. I’ve said it for a long time—that is all that she does here.

Hypocrite; party of one. I did no such thing. I merely pointed out in response to: "That originated with the Left when Conservatives were told to "stay off your threads"." As you, yourself say... you can't have your cake and eat it to. Only someone that wants an echo chamber would label a different point of view/facts that contradict you as "baiting" and "riling people up".

So what does that say about you? No it doesn't. It shows that you can not compare the 2 situations.

Lawrence Tribe...
“Or whatever”! A perfect summary of just how much these people care about little kids: zero.“
&
Chris Lieu...
“#DearJohnKelly: Separating children from their parents doesn't seem like a Be Best policy.
Also, it violates international human rights law.”
I think it’s clear that the last thing those in the trump administration care about are human right laws. In trump’s mind “human rights” is another name for being “politically correct”. And he’s made it very clear what he thinks about being politically correct.

Newsweek..,,
“GOP congressman: Trump wouldn't last very long under torture bit.ly/2rEFtET”
From the article....
“A GOP congressman from California said Friday night that President Donald Trump wouldn't hold up well under torture, coming to the defense of Republican Senator John McCain as Trump surrogates continue to attack the Arizona legislator and veteran over his service record.
HBO's Bill Maher asked Representative Duncan Hunter how long he thought the president could withstand torture, to which the congressman, who served three overseas tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, quipped, "not very long." The comment was met with laughs from Maher's audience.”
Truer words were never spoken.

Oy. I ignored the reply for a reason. Please let’s not let this thread devolve like so many others have. Lesson learned—there is no other way than the mytnice way. She hammers it home all the time. Not interested in any convo, just to tell the liberals how wrong they are and cast herself as superior and to pull out the war cries of “echo chambers” and other gaslighting nonsense. A few peas aggressively chastised/scolded me for responding to her and devolving the threads, yet a few still continue to do the same—and get exactly the same results. It’s pretty clear if you disagree with her ideology then all she’s going to do is tell you how wrong you are, bait you into responses that she will pounce on and attack, explain to you that her name calling and divisiveness is permitted because it’s only in response to the mean ugly liberal postings, and she’ll continue to make up crap, present it as the only facts that exist (in her head) as well as change the context of others posts in lame attempts to prove a point. The echo chamber she speaks of is of her own making, in her own bubble and there is not one iota of reasoning going to happen with her, the queen of gaslighting.

There really does seem to be a lot of unanswered questions on this.
The Hill...
“NEW: Questions still linger after deadly ambush of American troops in Niger hill.cm/TpM571k”
From the article....
Lawmakers and former defense officials are questioning why the Pentagon for months did not reveal the true mission of the Army special operations team involved in a deadly ambush last year in Niger.
The Pentagon confirmed for the first time Thursday that the U.S. team involved in the Oct. 4 firefight that killed four American troops initially embarked on a kill-or-capture operation, not a low-risk advising mission as previously portrayed.
In a summary of its findings on the deadly operation, U.S. Africa Command said that the team involved in the firefight filed paperwork seeking approval from higher command that mischaracterized the true nature of their task.
"What little information they provided [in the summary] certainly would give one reason to believe that there's an accountability failure here," said retired Col. Don Christensen, a former Air Force chief prosecutor.

Turns out Hillary was only half right. Not only are most of 45's supporters deplorable but the entire White House is filled with the deplorable. This week supports this claim. I keep asking myself how low they can go and I really don't think there is a bottom. The White House isn't a swamp it's a cesspool. A dirty disgusting ugly criminal cesspool.

I don’t think there is any question of trump being a liar, the lyingest liar in presidential history. He makes up shit every day—like “first military pay raise in 10 years” a blatant bold faced lie.

How amazing that the person that McCain was speaking about made this statement!! SHE supports his right to speak! Haspel appreciates McCain’s ‘thoughtfulness’ after he opposes her nominationBY JOSH DELK - 05/10/18 08:55 PM EDT Gina Haspel thanked Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Thursday for his "thoughtfulness" after he advised his Senate colleagues to vote against her nomination to be CIA director. “I have the utmost respect for Senator McCain and I appreciate the thoughtfulness with which he has approached this nomination process," Haspel said in a statement Thursday. McCain stated that "her refusal to acknowledge torture’s immorality is disqualifying," following a tense confirmation hearing on Wednesday where senators pried into her past CIA work on an enhanced interrogation program.

Careful, your lack of compassion is showing. Her lack of humanity is a better description of the Western privilege that she and her children is fortunate to experience. These immigrants getting to the U.S. from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, coming through Mexico, are SUPPOSED to seek asylum from MEXICO, NOT the United States. They just like the U.S. better so screw it. It's much easier for people to bitch and moan about the big bad meanies here in the U.S. that expect our laws to be enforced.
Maybe the U.S. can get some buses and provide police escorts for these people up to Canada (like Mexico did to the U.S.). Mr. Trudeau welcomes everybody, right? Oh wait, they're starting to get a bit overwhelmed up there, and now want the U.S. to enforce it's own immigration laws better, lol. As soon as Trudeau said that I knew he'd eat those words. Be careful what you ask for and all that jazz.
If Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala are as bad as these immigrants/refugees claim, with the drugs, gangs and domestic abuse, I'm even more convinced the U.S. should work extra overtime to protect its OWN citizens. ALL of our citizens should want to do whatever we can to keep the bad hombres out, right? What good would the U.S. be to these immigrants/refugees if the people and violence they're trying to escape end up here? Time to tighten up the borders, and get serious about enforcement!

linkSo Devin Nunes labeled the trump stooge by his local newspaper the Fresno Bee tweeted this “Read here about the freak show swimming in the swamp...”. So of course I read it. This is a study in alternative facts at its best. The article is built around this sentiment by Susan Hennessey... “This is a hugely significant story. DOJ and the IC do not trust the HPSCI chair to protect sources and methods that directly risk human lives. Nunes simply cannot continue to serve in the role and Speaker Ryan is wrong to not remove him and appoint a suitable choice like Conaway.” The article is from “American Greatness” and called “ The Deep State Mob Targets Nunes.
Strassel, who has been carefully covering this scandal, has a hunch of who the source is but couldn’t confirm it. In an absurd tweet on Wednesday, Lawfare’s executive director suggested that Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) should be replaced as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. That wasn’t even the most moronic tweet in Susan Hennessey’s arsenal. She went on to warn how “the intelligence oversight system is based on trust. Without trust it is irretrievably broken. The [Intelligence Community] and [Department of Justice] don’t trust Nunes and he cannot perform his job functions.” Get that? The Intelligence Community and the Justice department—which have proven to be as political and devious as a Chicago ward boss—are the white hats and Nunes is the black hat. That is not ignorance on Hennessey’s part: it’s calculated deception. Fortunately, it’s unlikely that House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will heed an unreasonable demand from a political partisan tied to the left-leaning Brookings Institution. But it does unveil the latest tactic of the Left (and some on the Right) to discredit and ultimately oust Nunes, the only Republican on Capitol Hill who appears to have his act together when it comes to exposing the players behind the Trump-Russia election collusion scheme. The Deep State Mob is continuing to squeeze the California congressman after he again threatened to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for ignoring congressional subpoenas and withholding crucial documents from Congressional investigators. Nunes has minced no words about how the Justice Department and FBI have been stonewalling” his committee’s investigation for months. And as Nunes inches closer to revealing the stinking core of what is potentially the biggest political corruption scandal in U.S. history, the Deep State Mob is trying to close in on him first. Nunes and other House Republicans want to find out exactly how and why the FBI’s counterintelligence operation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government began in the summer of 2016, and what intelligence sources either aided or instigated that probe. The latest showdown, according to the Washington Post, is because Nunes has issued a subpoena demanding that the Justice Department provide information about an unnamed individual referenced in a classified letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions last month. While there are few details about the individual in question, the Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Strassel intimates that the person could have been a mole inside the Trump campaign: We know Nunes’s request deals with a “top secret intelligence source” of the FBI and CIA, who is a U.S. citizen and who was involved in the Russia collusion probe. We might take this to mean that the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign. Strassel, who has been carefully covering this scandal, has a hunch of who the source is but couldn’t confirm it. The Justice Department is fighting Nunes’s request on the basis that any disclosure would “risk severe consequences, including potential loss of human lives, damage to relationship with valued international partners, compromise of ongoing criminal investigations and interference with intelligence activities.” While Justice officials met with Nunes and committee member Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) late Thursday, they did not allow them to see the information in question. Nunes indicated that he would continue to press the department to fulfill his request. Now Nunes’s foes are portraying him as a rogue actor—perhaps even a traitor—who is willing to see intelligence assets killed in order to carry water for President Trump. CNN national security analyst Asha Rangappa echoed the Justice Department’s warning that Nunes is risking lives to achieve political ends. In a one-two punch, Hennessey’s boss upped the attacks on Nunes during a discussion with former FBI Director James Comey on Friday. Benjamin Wittes, Lawfare’s editor and close Comey pal, rhetorically asked Comey, “what’s Devin Nunes gonna be able to tell his grandchildren? It’s a serious question. He is affirmatively acting in a fashion that some of us judged, you know, Edward Snowden very harshly for behaving in a fashion that puts at risk intelligence sources and methods when being told so by the senior levels of the Justice Department.” (Others have tried to get the “Nunes-Is-Literal-Snowden” trope going before. We’ll see if it finally takes off next week.) Comey, the consigliere of the Deep State Mob, anguished to his buddy about the lost values of the Republican Party: “This is my hope for the Republicans as a whole, that they realize that only a fool would trade the institutions and the values that actually unite us for the policy gains they think they’re getting from a president who is eroding and attacking those values.” Sounds like some sour grapes from the guy who lost his battle against Nunes to keep his memos secret. Fellow fired prosecutor Preet Bharara joined Comey in mocking Nunes this week. After a bogus story surfaced that Nunes doesn’t read the intelligence information he receives, the former head of the DOJ’s Southern District of New York (yes, the same office assigned with investigating Trump lawyer Michael Cohen) tweeted this: But it’s not just the Deep State Mob on the Left that is after Nunes: Their soulmates in the smoldering political ash heap that is the neoconservative movement are speaking out, too. In an egregiously flawed assist in Commentary, Noah Rothman gives aid and comfort to the Deep State Mob, incredibly by making Nunes the bad guy. Rothman accuses Nunes of causing the trust breakdown in the House Intelligence committee, the same committee whose ranking member is the despicable leaker Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). Rothman smugly claims that “there is no impartial assessment of his tenure as House Intelligence Committee chair in which he comes off as a competent steward of American national security or capable of the dispassionate oversight of the institutions that safeguard U.S. interests at home and abroad.” Rothman suggests that even Trump doesn’t trust Nunes and that’s why the president (for now) has acquiesced to the Justice Department’s stonewalling on the source subpoena. He wrongly claims that Nunes recused himself from the investigation early on, then calls Nunes an “obstacle in the way of truth” who should be removed. Any close observer of the unfolding story of how the disaster of the Obama Justice Department exploited our most trusted federal agencies to hatch the Trump-Russia scheme is either on the floor laughing or smashing things at Rothman’s absurd accusation. The Deep State Mob wants to destroy anything and anyone associated with Trump, particularly those who are brave enough to incur their wrath to get to the truth on behalf of the American people. Nunes isn’t a traitor: He’s a hero.
