Is Trump fucked with this Cohen/Mueller thing now?? Surely the GOP can see it's going downhill for him and will stick the boot in on his way out as the best way for them to not get dragged into it is to start pushing against him?!

How predictable was it that a fascist would steam in to defend the inhumane treatment of a seven year-old girl by the ICE gestapo?

Entirely f**king predictable.

Fascists are deeply predictable.

How predictable that leftie posters on here had their pitchforks ablazin long before the facts are known.

168 people crossed.

What's if it was a 2 man Border Patrol who apprehended them?

How the fvck would they be able to perform medical assessments on 168 people who had walked through the desert for days without food or water?

If only ICE had more funding so they could afford more border agents...

2 border patrol guys apprehended 168 desperate immigrants?

That's impressive

Here's my theory as to why crime has been steadily falling for decades (notwithstanding conservative claims that it isn't, regardless of reality or facts):


  • Wanna shoot an Arab? Go to Israel and join the IDF where you can get away with it.
  • Wanna shoot a Mexican? Join the border patrol. Hell, you can even open fire across the border (which would normally be considered an act of war) and get away with that too.
  • Wanna just rough up some immigrants and terrorize defenceless people? Join ICE.
  • Wanna rough up / harass / beat / kill some blacks? Join the cops.
  • Wanna torture blacks or anyone else for that matter? Become a prison guard.

Like the Catholic church became a go-to destination for paedophiles, the US has created all manner of institutions that are attractive environments for all manner of deadly psychopaths, all in the name of "law and order." What a joke.

NBC weren't too bothered about this "criminal empire" when they gave him an ego inflating game show for ten seasons. No, they only cared when he went to the other side of the aisle.

US "border control agents" are sadists.

7-year-old migrant girl taken into Border Patrol custody dies of dehydration, exhaustion

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/7-year-old-migrant-girl-taken-into-border-patrol-custody-dies-of-dehydration-exhaustion/2018/12/13/8909e356-ff03-11e8-862a-b6a6f3ce8199_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.8f0e729a06f7

"Food and water are typically provided to migrants in Border Patrol custody, and it wasn't immediately clear Thursday if the girl received provisions and a medical exam before the onset of seizures."

Girl hadn't eaten or drank water in days prior to apprehension.

To imply that she died due to neglect by Border Patrol Agents is highly irresponsible until the facts are known.

I agree with you.

Someone should tell DHS head Nielsen though.

Texas court declares Obamacare unconstitutional.

Healthcare and prisons cost 25% of GDP
That is 10% of GDP more than a civilised country
Rent seeking is therefore constitutional

It will end up back in the Supreme Court, where five sitting justices have already ruled in favour.

Its ironic though that only a week or two back Trump was crying (fraudulently) about the entire Ninth Circuit of Appeals and "Obama judges", but has nothing to say about the judge shopping that ends up with repeated conservative cases in front of this particular judge.
