Yes, there is a legally prescribed procedure for asking for asylum at official border crossings. From what I’ve heard lately most of those people are just being turned away. Most of these cases involve people who crossed illegally or failed to follow what I presume to be impossibly complicated steps to apply for…

Do you think your kids would get to go to jail with you if you committed a crime? And most people seeking asylum through legally prescribed methods at official crossings are just being turned away. Most of the people who are being separated brought their children here in a way that is against the law.

Crossing the border illegally?

For sure. I just don’t think the revelation that Comey and others also used personal email for government business is a gotcha moment.

Exactly. And the ones that try to be anything more than that usually fall flat in any number of other ways. I’m glad they no longer run the one they used to run here.

They’re not technically wrong when they say they’re just enforcing the existing law that’s been on the books for years. But the horseshit about the democrats refusing to fix the law is about as disingenuous as anything these lying assholes have ever said, which is fucking saying something. I can’t put myself in a…

What the fuck are you talking about? The FBI determined 110 emails were considered classified at the time they were transmitted. There were also 2000 emails that were made classified after the fact. Nobody fucking made that up.

I have no issue with Hillary getting off with a reprimand. While I’m not qualified to say how much harm she could have done (or actually did do), it seems like most who know think it was just poor judgment. I’m not sure she actually knew she was exchanging classified information on that server, but that could be wrong.

I thought the issue with Hillary was that she had classified information on her insecure private server, not that she used private email to conduct official business. I was under the impression it was fairly common for high ranking government officials to occasionally use private email for mundane, non-classified, but…

I think you know that’s not the takeaway. Some people feel this feeds a hurtful stereotype, and question whether it was intentional on the photographer or director’s part. At the very least, there’s a valid discussion about whether the picture should have been published. It’s too bad that it takes away from Kimble,…

While I certainly understand the problem people have with the picture (it definitely got a raised eyebrow from me), to me, this is the most important point. Kimble likes it. It was a big deal for her. And I can’t help but think this discussion ruins it for her, at least in part. It seems like it would be insulting to…

Most French-speaking West Africans would be eligible to play for France if they were good enough. So you’re really just looking at the French team plus the French speaking Belgians. Still enticing, but very little help from the French speaking reaches of West or North Africa.

Poor guy. He managed to escape that tri-axle he was anchored to, showed he knows how to play ball, and gets yanked off the field after only one run.

I assume these guys that aren’t in jail are free only because the SOL expired. I’m not sure what the pope or the church is supposed to do about that. Obviously it’s on the church for covering for these creeps, helping them evade criminal justice before the SOL ran out. But there’s nothing they can do at this point to…

Robben may have dived, but it was a shocking challenge by one of the most decorated and reliable defenders in El Tri’s history. Robben’s dive was to evade Marquez’s hopelessly late and outstretched leg, and he was probably entitled to go down.

The thinking wasn’t that they had to give up their nukes to engage in negotiations, but that if they wanted to sit down with POTUS, they had to make some significant concessions. Having a sitting president meet with Kim is supposed to legitimize him in the eyes of the rest of the world, I guess. But as you’ve said,…

Russia, of course. But what does Trump have to gain from befriending NK? I think he sees it solely as a legacy issue to feed his ego. But regardless of who the president is, or what their motives are, isolation is no longer a viable NK option. We can’t keep pretending they’re powerless.

That was because in the past a meeting was seen as a bargaining chip, legitimizing the NK regime. NK’s weapons program has advanced to the point where it’s foolish to continue pretending they’re only legitimate if we recognize them. Like it or not, they’re essentially a nuclear power now. At the very least they have…

No video of him driving on the court? That footage absolutely disappoints.

It was a terrible race that was determined in qualifying on Saturday. The top 6 were never threatened, and there was no pit or tire strategy that could have made this race more interesting. So far I think there’s been one driver on the podium all season who wasn’t from one of the three super teams? I do enjoy the…
