Back in the late 1980's (I think)... Wash., DC area... winter... a radio DJ was giving the weather and said it's as cold as a witch's tit out there today.

Apparently a witch took offense and called the station saying, our tits are just as warm as everyone else's.







If it's the middle of winter, that's probably not saying much.

Liberals are rejoicing as well.
But for different reasons than conservatives.

There is no evidence of any remaining disease, says a court spokesperson, nor is there evidence of disease elsewhere in the body.

Ginsburg has said that she'll continue to serve on the Supreme Court as long as she's able to do the job.


Oh, by the way, the "conservative" SCOTUS has upheld the ban on Trump's asylum BS.

Maybe Romney is jealous because he never had a chance to run against an old woman.

You won't see this kind of headline in China or Russia:

9 things you should know before Trump starts spewing lies in Tuesday address to the nation
Facts

... he's even got Pence making misleading statements.

"Nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists were apprehended attempting to come into the United States through various means in the last year," Pence said on ABC's "Good Morning America."

According to a senior administration official familiar with Customs and Border Protection data, just 12 of those were encountered on the southern border between October 2017 and October 2018.

Ok...

1st: To date there have been 0.... ZERO... Islamic extremist terrorists "encountered" or caught coming across or later learned to have come across the U.S.-Mexico border. ZERO.

Could they? Yes. Have they? Apparently not. Would a wall have stopped them? No.

2nd: From Pence..."Yeah, but 3,000 special interest individuals, people with suspicious backgrounds that may suggest terrorist connections were apprehended at our southern border"... these were criminals, NOT terrorists.

Is is good for criminals to come across or try to come across the border? Yes NO.. Were these people "terrorists"? No. Would a border wall have stopped them? No, our border security stopped them without a border wall.


PS: If Trump was given his $5.6 billion to build a wall... Would the pay for the entire wall? No, at best it would pay for 1/4th of the wall, at best. Would the wall ever get built? No, as soon as a Democrat comes into office the wall will be scrapped. Even if the wall was built, would it stop drugs, illegal immigration or terrorists coming into the USA?

> Drugs... No. The vast majority come smuggled via vehicles and cargo through ports of entry.
> Illegal immigration... No. The majority come legally and then over stay their visas.
> Terrorists...? No. They get legal papers and fly here on air planes.

This entire border wall thing is BS designed to dupe the ignorant and gullible.

I think you meant "no" on that first point?

You are right.

Fortunately I still had time to make a correction, but left the "yes" as a yes so others could see the errors of my ways.

Eh...

There are numbers...just not anything approaching numbers like 3000.

People like Muhammad Azeem, Abdullahi Omar Fidse, and Mukhtar Ahmad, all on the terrorist watch list, have been apprehended at the Mexican border. There's a small number of actual known affiliates and subjects on the watch list who have been detained on our Southwestern border since '01, but not enough in my opinion to make the wall about terrorist threats.

The wall is about Mexicans, I think Trump is just playing a shell game.

I will stand corrected, to a point. I think the sort of realistic number of people with "with ties to terrorism" is something like 15 since 2001... and they were at ports of entry. Most, if not all, were during the Bush or Obama years. Trump & Pence have floated the number "10", but their support of their claim is tenuous (IMO).

Note 1: These instances were at ports of entry.

Note 2: Anyone should feel free to correct me (a link would be nice, so I don't make future mistakes).

Note 3: I have been stopped at the U.S. border at least 4 times (the most recent time in 2016)... my name was/is apparently on a watch list.
