Way back i the dark ages when I first began visiting I accidentally overstayed like 15 days. I was so ignorant I didn't even know there was a limit on my entry. Duh. Went to go thru immigration and got directed to the side. Paid a fine and said sorry and left. My guess is perhaps this guy mouthed off or tried to argue the fine. Maybe he didn't think they could do anything but make him leave. But there has to be more to this.

A lot to unpack on this. First, the gun convictions are a crock of <deleted>. Here is what got him: Yes No f. Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside. Basically it is demanding you criminalize yourself. The only question should be do you have any felony convictions? And pretty much no one has ever been convicted of this before so yeah this was a political action. Second - please you can pretend the tax evasion was as Joe Biden said "late payment" or the like but several years and over $1.4 mil in evasion is serious and felony. He deserved that conviction and was probably headed for several years behind bars. What is worse is the entire package of offshore bank accounts and WHY were foreign entities giving him money? No evidence of any services or products. It reeks of influence peddling and money laundering so he earned the conviction. The source of the money should be explained but won't. Last the issue of Jan 6 is being discussed here. No idea why they connect but regardless of how you view that event the law has a lot of explaining why many of them were kept in jail for extended time without trial or bail. This reeks of political persecution which is baffling. Which is it? Does the DOJ persecute DEMs like Hunter or GOPs like Jan 6? Both parties pardon people that probably should not get one. Hunter goes free. My bet is Trump does a blanket pardon of Jan 6 and himself. It is what it is. I lose no sleep either way.

Really? This wasn't just a fine and stamp in his passport? Has to be more to the story.

I don't know anything about paying for a wall but Mexico should step up and be a good neighbor. And that means stopping the flood of migrants passing thru Mexico on their way to the USA. Mexico has a very small southern border and could easily control the inflow. But they don't because they WANT this flood of migrants as the cartels have some control over their government and the massive movement makes it easier to mask the flow of drugs and human smuggling. And some of you are missing the point of the wall. It was partly real lets make it harder physically to evade legal entry but also partly symbolic in that it means NO we don't take just anyone. There are legal paths to entry and immigration but you can't just jump the border. Sadly this was undermined by the DEM governors and mayors who pandered to the pretend empathy and claimed sanctuary status which essentially invited illegal immigration. Funny how when border state governors started shipping the massive inflow to these cities they cried for federal aid to cover the costs. And now some are pretending sanctuary status didn't mean unlimited migration since they are going broke and their citizens are complaining.

Amd you would be wrong. But thanks for the funny comment. 🤣

True. I think the idea many American's have that the USA is the greatest nation on earth is the result of the period between 1940 and 1970. In that era the USA was the worlds leader in so many ways that we began to believe nothing else was close. While I don't fall into the jingoistic path of the USA is the greatest in everything now it still does offer much to it's citizens. And is a better than average place to live. But some are insular and don't recognize there are lots of other places that offer wonderful lives as well. What does sadden me is because we yanks have a bit of a chin up we are great attitude and because in fact we HAVE done so much in the last 80 years many people cop an attitude and want to knock us down a peg or two for no reason. This forum for example has many members that clearly have issues with America. Whatever. I am not ashamed of being a yank and feel my nation has given the world much. We might be nearing the end of greatness now but we had a hell of a run.

OOps. I meant 20 pounds.

Shhhhhh. let them keep thinking that for the next election. If the leftists are stupid enough to fail to recognize how flawed their own candidates/positions are so be it.

Yeah I seem like I take 20 pills every day. Only ones I like are the tylenol so I can play golf. Yeah my BP and diabetes are under control but..... I think if I wasn't so tired and worked out harder and lost 2 pounds (12 kilos for my decimal brothers) I could drop most of this stuff.

Bwahahahaha. They have appropriate gun laws based on the constitution. And this nutjob violated them. Seems we have enough laws because he will be in jail for a while now. They worked. BTW cut and paste from which anti=gun nutjob webpage? As a resident of Arizona I am intimately knowledgeable of our laws. I am also aware of federal laws as the owner of FULL auto military firearms (not the scary sounding but innocuous semi-automatic standard hunting rifles). You would be surprised at the hoops a citizen like myself has to hurtle to acquire them. Seems we have enough laws because he will be in jail for a while now. They worked

Is there any way to overlay the various mayors and governors claiming "sanctuary status" and providing free food and housing to the inflow? Their invitations might also be a factor.

Well there are checks to buy a gun. And there are limits to free speech. And online threats are illegal. Note in the story he is under arrest for felony crimes.

That was one of the biggest divides between Trump and Kamala. Regardless of which side you are on it was easy to see Kamala was a chameleon changing roles and positions based on who was in front of her at the moment. She was fake. Trump, love him, hate him, or in between, is clearly a real person and had positions he staked out regardless of audience. The DEMs need to learn you can not be all things to all people.

That is a far cry from actively resisting proper policing by ICE and the Federal government with regard to immigration issues. Yes he has no authority to deport illegals. He also has no authority to prevent the federal government and ICE doing so. The separation of powers is clear and the Feds are 100% responsible for immigration issues. If he interferes with the Feds that would be illegal and only an act of defiance to be more woke.

Police should ruin some stings. Have some gay looking men or jewish garbed people walk there and when attacked swoop in and arrest them. If they are not born in Germany deport them. Win win.

That is a good point. I am projecting here but I think the leadership of the DEM party isn't stupid enough to repeat something like that. Maybe I give them too much credit. We shall see.

If they do they are retarded.. She would lose to any decent GOP candidate by a large margin. I suspect their candidate will come from someone not associated with the fringe of the party. Keep in mind they want to win and they have to convince the money people they can win.

You are right. Sinema and Manchin are done. I was merely pointing out the DEM party has to have better candidates than Kamala in 2028. IMO it will be someone we (well me anyway) aren't familiar with. I think the DEM party will drift back towards center before the midterms which will help them then.

I don't believe ANY of the DEM money sources will back a Kamala run in 2028. And if some did I don't think she stands a chance of winning the DEM primary. It was very clear how phony she is. There isn't a real person behind that facade and the electorate could see that. She has never won a single state in a DEM primary. I have to believe the DEM party learned something this year and decides to start running candidates not mired in the far left policies some DEMs endorse. They had some middle of the road members like Sinema and Joe Manchin. As a conservative I didn't agree with everything they did but they were SANE, had ethics they stuck with in the face of attack from their own party, and not living in an alternate reality. If one were elevated to winning the presidency I wouldn't be upset.

"""“Every single time we hear them say the word ‘trans,’ look what they’re doing with their right hand,” McBride stated. “Look at what they’re doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare.” """ 😅🤣🙄

🤣

I gave up on this conversation. None on the left wish to address the real issue. Not anti-trans which I don't see anyone here a part of. But pro woman meaning keeping locker rooms, women's sports and children apart from the "woke acceptance". And of course if you disagree in the slightest with their wide open world of fully intact men showering with teenage girls you are the bigot. Liberals and Democrats of the year 2000 would have laughed at the idea this would become a hill their side would die on but here we are.

How cute. Sorry to disappoint but no maga here. But that won't stop your inane insults to people who disagree with your positions I guess based on reading here.

And yet I am not a hater. And i don't hate anyone. But if it makes you feel more righteous to avoid the reasoning behind not allowing trans to compete in women's sports or shower in women only facilities have at it. Kind of weak though.

I notice a trend here where you assign hate and never actually address what is posted. You make up stuff to respond to. Are you in capable of civil disagreement or just spouting the hard left lines?
