This is also how they justify torture. Another very American practice, that is not going out of fashion. Please remind me, what exactly makes American superior ? Surely not the devotion to democracy and human rights and commitment to moral values.

Our Bill of Rights, Constitution, Republic and the rule of law. Certainly not our journalist.

Build bridges, not walls, some will say. Nice words, but not in today's world.

NYTimes story, FBI opened a counter intelligence operation against the Trump campaign with Obama's blessing, analyzed.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/05/crossfire-hurricane-new-york-times-report-buries-lede/

The scandal is that the FBI, lacking the incriminating evidence needed to justify opening a criminal investigation of the Trump campaign, decided to open a counterintelligence investigation. With the blessing of the Obama White House, they took the powers that enable our government to spy on foreign adversaries and used them to spy on Americans — Americans who just happened to be their political adversaries.

"Bill Gates says that in *both* meetings he had with Trump, Trump asked if HPV and HIV were the same thing."

Bill Gates: "When I first talked to him (Trump) it was a little scary how much he knew about my daughter's appearance. Melinda (Gates) didn't like that too much."

Bill Gates: Trump left event he was already at so he could make a "grand entrance" in a helicopter

TRUMP TO BILL GATES: "Trump hears that you don't like what Trump is doing."

Hacked text messages allegedly sent by Paul Manafort's daughter discuss 'blood money' and killings, and a Ukrainian lawyer wants him to explain

In a series of texts reviewed by Business Insider that appear to have been sent by Andrea to her sister, Jessica, in March 2015, Andrea said their father had "no moral or legal compass."

"Don't fool yourself," Andrea wrote to her sister, according to the texts. "That money we have is blood money."

"You know he has killed people in Ukraine? Knowingly," she continued, according to the reviewed texts. "As a tactic to outrage the world and get focus on Ukraine. Remember when there were all those deaths taking place. A while back. About a year ago. Revolts and what not. Do you know whose strategy that was to cause that, to send those people out and get them slaughtered."

What were you saying about the rule of law?

Hot takes from the left, MS-13 deserves our compassion.

When you spend too much time in the shower thinking...

 

[enlytend]

Calling MS-13 animals is a bridge to far for @enlytend but calling Americans deplorable and irredeemable was fine. One thing about liberals in the forum, they are consistent hypocrites.

Except that he never referenced MS13. Maybe that’s what he was thinking when he said that, but it was a non-sequiter he threw in while talking about immigrants in general. Find the video and watch it.
Once again, you’re putting your own (mis)interpretation on what I said. Which was that someone in a position of power should choose their words more carefully.
Everything else you’re ranting about came from you, not me.
Show me where I called anyone “irredeemable.” Didn’t happen.

Not true. The entire conversation was with a Sheriff about MS-13 gang. AP, the originator of the lie, issued a correction and deleted their original tweet.

Please post your outrage when Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters Deplorable and irredeemable. MS-13 do act like animals. Trump supporters are just tired of your bullshit.

Wouldn’t have picked up any communications of Americans if they hadn’t been communicating with the above mentioned foreign adversaries.

NY Times is alleging the FBI put a spy / informant inside Trump's campaign.

 

[mr-x]

My you’re triggered. I don’t appreciate the libelous tone of your comment.

Right.. which comment is that?

Please let us know when you were outraged over Trump supporters being called irredeemable.

 

[enlytend]

Bill and Hillary were friends with a racist who wants to commit genocide.

I never said anyone wants to commit genocide. Please learn to read objectively without your triggered brain throwing in imaginary phrases for you to get pissed off about.

Obviously, they’re not friends any more.

1) Obviously, I'm the one who's triggered.. do you understand sarcasm? Do I really need to make a list of all the times you've liked or wrote a post suggesting trump is Hitler?

Obviously, they’re not friends any more.

2) "were friends with".. Take your own advice.

SHOCKED!! Hero of the #Resistance is a dead beat.

Two companies controlled by Michael Avenatti have yet to pay the over $126,000 owed to a victim of sex discrimination case despite orders from a Washington state court, the victim’s lawyer told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Read something yesterday his company was sued for firing a manager for being pregnant.

Joe diGenova alleges FBI, DOJ, CIA committed crimes to obtain FISA warrants.

"Brennan will be in front of a grand jury shortly"

 

[enlytend]

If allied foreign intelligence along with US sources credibly warned FBI that a US presidential candidate / campaign staff was openly discussing collaboration with a hostile foreign power, then why should the FBI NOT put them under surveillance?

SHERIFF MIMS: Thank you. There could be an MS-13 member I know about — if they don’t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about it.

THE PRESIDENT: We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in — and we're stopping a lot of them — but we're taking people out of the country. You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals. And we're taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that's never happened before. And because of the weak laws, they come in fast, we get them, we release them, we get them again, we bring them out. It's crazy.

Looks like NRA membership and gun sales should go up again, I bet they're happy, yet another school shooting.

Shooter identified in Santa Fe High School rampage; at least 10 dead
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/brea...ampage-at-least-10-dead/ar-AAxtvuC?li=BBnb7Kz

Some thoughts and prayers.

Trump say something - "We grieve for the terrible loss of life, and send our support and love to everyone affected by this horrible attack in Texas. To the students, families, teachers and personnel at Santa Fe High School – we are with you in this tragic hour, and we will be with you forever..."

Then tomorrow the NRA will have a meeting with him where their balls can bounce off his chin again.

Let's link to an article saying they're going to talk about lies, while lying themselves. Brilliant. I guess some people with AK's and grenades can't manage to kill even 1 person. How clumsy they must be.
