Re: Former Federal Prosecutors on Obstruction
I did answer that. I wouldn't call it either. She would have the right to fire him as Trump did, but that doesn't amount to "justice" and it isn't obstruction because he'd just be replaced. I DID answer it.

Re: This guy claims he is not a racist too
To be a Christian you must be born again and that changes you. Just being handed the tradition doesn't change you, but you can be born again after being handed it and then you are a real Christian. There is no such thing as this kind of transformation in any other religion. They just believe because it IS part of the tradition, but it can't save them either, only Christ can do that.

Re: Racist actions?

Re: Former Federal Prosecutors on Obstruction
Neither the Huffington Post nor Beliefnet are sources I trust for anything to do with Christianity, and since it's hard on my eyes I'm not reading them.

Re: Racist actions?
Most undocumented immigrants overstayed their visas. But that doesn't whip up a crowd like the brown menace.

Re: Racist actions?
I suppose the difference must be that most of those are able to take care of themselves and don't become a drain on our taxpayer dollars.

Re: Former Federal Prosecutors on Obstruction
LOL. Don't confuse me with the facts my mind is made up, seems to be your mantra.
Well all the rest of us understand the Evangelical, Israel, End of times connection. So your head in the sand position does no matter.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Racist actions?
Neither do undocumented immigrants. They actual contribute more financially than they take out of the system. Read the data. Know what you are talking about before you spout off crap.
Oh wait that's right you don't believe facts and data. Never mind.

Y'know, I used to believe that too, but after reading this article in Slate I'm a tad more skeptical. Still need more information, though.
The White House is planning a travel ban on Trump’s shithole countries.
'Further undermining the administration’s collective punishment plan is the fact that overstays aren’t a major problem to begin with. Based on the government’s own data, last year DHS could confirm that 99.24 percent of foreign visitors had either “departed the United States on time and in accordance with the terms of their admission” or had left within the next six months.'

Of course. If the hypothesis doesn't fit the facts, throw out the facts.

And our geese will blot out the sun.

Re: Former Federal Prosecutors on Obstruction
(Some of the words, **** "hstn," that get chewed up by the Mad Censor, make no sense at all)._
I agree. This seems a bit much. But, it's not my house.

Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

That's a lot of overstays. This excerpt from Homeland Security's Fiscal Year 2018 Entry/Exit Overstay Report gives the raw number of admissions and repeats the same percentage you gave:
quote:
DHS has determined that there were 54,706,966 in-scope nonimmigrant admissions to the United States through air or sea POEs with expected departures occurring in FY 2018, which represents the majority of air and sea annual nonimmigrant admissions.
...
As of March 1, 2019, DHS has been able to confirm the departures or adjustment of status of more than 99.24 percent of nonimmigrants scheduled to depart in FY 2018 via air and sea POEs.
Doing the multiplication, that's about 416,000 overstays just last year alone. Some years it's higher, some lower. According to Politifact, about 42% of illegal immigrants are overstays.
