Now Long Island is one of our most vulnerable communities, granted Brentwood is not the nicest neighborhood on LI. |
Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!
Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

(1) I'll ask again, where in that statement did he say all immigrants are gang members?
(2) what in that statement, exactly, would you say is untrue? Do you deny that having an open border with Mexico has allowed drugs and gang bangers to come in and do harm?
Not all immigrants are criminals. But, and this may be news to you, some are. |

He's certainly playing racist cards to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment with disinformation. Goes right along with his lying about chain immigration and the lottery system. Ok, to be fair he may just not understand what the law really is.
What astounded me about his long-winded clap happy was the failure to mention anything about our democratic institutions...likely because Trump has no respect for them.
We're living in a time where the FBI and CIA are the enemy and Russia is the insider friend...this should terrify everyone. |

"He's certainly playing racist cards to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment with disinformation"
What 'disinformation'? were those parents who lost their kids to illegal alien criminals, or not?
"failure to mention anything about our democratic institutions"
Such as? I saw a lot of pro-America verbiage in there. You're upset he didn't specifically mention the county clerk's office in Deluth?
"We're living in a time where the FBI and CIA are the enemy and Russia is the insider friend"
OK. So to you, it's fine if the FBI potentially interferes with our politics, but an issue if Russia does it.
Funny, who was the POTUS who mocked Mitt Romney for suggesting that Russia was a problem? Something about the 198s wanting their foreign policy back? Haw haw haw, that was so witty. |

So why do I agree with Democrats on the death penalty and gay marriage?

Thats the key who's read it ...who alone wrote it and why and who has been promoting it all in an attempt to discredit the FBI and the muller investigation... seems obvious to even the casual observer
In early 2017, he was criticized for bias in a congressional investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[3][4] On April 6, 2017, he temporarily stepped aside from leading that investigation while the Office of Congressional Ethics investigates charges that he improperly disclosed classified information to the public, but he remains committee chairman for other purposes. Nunes has denied the allegations.[5][6] The Office of Congressional Ethics later cleared Nunes of allegations that he disclosed classified information to the public.[7][6] His attacks on the FBI and the investigation by independent counsel Robert Mueller have created concerns about GOP efforts to halt the investigation and to protect Trump from any allegations against him.[8]
But now he generates his own memo .... amazing |
