  • The thing is that Trump is so divorced from reality that he doesn't accept how unpopular he is

    That is why he is lying so much more often lately. He cannot accept a truth he dislikes so he makes stuff up to explain it away. He is obsessed with himself, his brand, his image. There is no room within him for anyone or anything else. Guess who loses?  Right! Everyone else! Thank you for your reply DdbTD! :)

    Not only that. There's a senior level mass exodus at the State Department:

    The ‘entire senior level’ of State Department management just resigned to avoid working for Trump: report This post was edited by Zack at January 27, 2017 5:32 AM MST

    Here's the sad part. We the people don't deserve it Zack. Only The Donald deserves being abandoned. He earned it. He worked hard for it. He got it! He is clueless and doesn't know what he's done. We lose. We know. :( Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday to you! :) This post was edited by RosieG at January 28, 2017 1:32 PM MST

  • If these mayors think that they can maintain and continue a political career while protecting criminals, then let them have a go at it. If they can justify aiding and abetting felons(a felony in itself) and be reelected let 'em have at it.

    Curiously, people of your apparent political persuasion have much less enthusiasm for pursuing the felons who aid and abet criminal behavior such as

    1) Hiring illegal aliens
    2) Torturing prisoners of war
    3) Committing frauds which lead to worldwide economic collapse
    4) Creating fraudlent charitable foundations, fruadulent universities, and illegally trading with Cuba (Hint: that particular felon is currently the POTUS).
    5) etc., etc., etc.

    This leads to the inference your concern about criminality is motivated more by whether the "criminal" is a N*gg*r, Sp*c, F***ING HADJI, or STOOPID EBIL LIBRUHL then the magnitude of the crimes committed....;-D..

  • In this instance it's referring to 'sanctuary cities' where illegals are permitted back into the population after they have committed crimes. It has nothing whatsoever to do with skin color.

    Will you address the five points Old School brought up in his reply Karen? Instead of ignoring it and just focusing on sanctuary cities? I'd appreciate it a lot. Thank you and Happy Friday to you! :)

  • Your question was about sanctuary cities. OS went off the question with his comment.

    @Karen -- As I often encourage other people, I try to maintain the habit of asking the NEXT question.

    A relevant next question in this context is, given our finite resources of time/energy/money, what "criminals" should be the focus of our efforts to deter crime. Should we focus on jaywalkers or murderers? Who should get the majority of our attention?

    In the context of immigration, I find it is extremely popular to focus on the (poor/urban-dwelling/non-white) immigrants themselves while essentially giving a free pass to the (rich/suburban/rural-dwelling/usually white) employers who hire them.

    Much like so-called War on Drugs, it seems our collective consciousness is focused on punishing "suppliers" when what we should be doing is focusing our efforts on reducing "demand."

  • I agree 100% that our judicial system needs a complete overhaul. Like my grandma used to say, they strain a gnat to swallow a camel. Violent crime should be the main focus, and not the little petty stuff, although that deserves to be investigated as well. There should be penalties for hiring illegals. But, it's sometimes hard to tell who is illegal and who isn't, they have a tendency to share papers or buy an identity. I used to work at a restaurant that had a high Mexican population of employees. The manager told me once that he really had to check out their paperwork before he hired them because of that. What the meat and potatoes of my reply was, when an illegal is caught in a crime, they should be deported and not allowed back into society. We have enough homegrown criminals, we should have to put up with illegal criminals.

    Hello K:

    Nahh...  It's when they CALL the cops because they're being robbed..  It's when they get a speeding ticket..  It's when their neighbor SNITCHES on them.. 

    But, IF they commit a CRIME, as in a REAL CRIME, they're prosecuted by the local authority and THEN turned over to ICE..  Libs don't WANNA harbor criminals..  I have no idea why you think we do.

  • If an illegal commits a crime, they should be deported and not allowed back into the population. These cities that are sheltering them should be called out.

    What about all the " legals" who commit crimes Karen? What do you propose we do with them? Thank you for your reply.

  • If they are legals, they should be treated as any legal citizen would be. The sanctuary protects the illegals.

    The question is, why do these Mayors believe they are allowed to decide the laws of the USA don't apply inside their city? Are they willing to loose the Federal money cause it will leave and should.
