Not vague, very specific. The numbers come from the FBI.

They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They’re sending us not the right people." Clearly indicating the majority of them are criminals, at least to anyone who uses a single brain cell to figure it out.

That is about as vacuous and vague as it's possible to get. Who is putting up those terms, what do they mean? What incidents are being included?
Turns out the Anti-Defamation League tracks this stuff.
Right-Wing Extremism Linked to Every 2018 Extremist Murder in the U.S., ADL Finds; Right-wing extremists killed more people last year than in any year since 1995 quote: They also have a neat interactive map and list. Here's all 222 extremist (Islamist, Left-Wing, White Supremacist, right-wing anti-government, right-wing other) murders in the last ten years:
The murders are listed and briefly described under the map. Here's all 203 murders by the three flavors of right-wingers in the same time frame:
Again the murders are list and briefly described under the map. 203/222 = 91%. Don't worry, Faith, your anti-reality shield won't crack.

Obviously he was talking about somewhere between MOST and ALL migrants. He wasn't even FUCKING SURE that some of them were good people. He could only ASSUME that SOME (definitely not meaning MOST) were good people.
What body count? We were discussing this yesterday and you've forgotten already. Very convenient memory. Nonetheless, I documented them down to the individual incident level in a message you hadn't seen when you wrote that. I can't wait to see how you spin that. Probably your oft-used "better no facts at all rather than your facts". ABE Ah, I was pretty close. But I call that a miss. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

Ideology doesn't change facts. These facts are extremely well documented.
As I said, under the map on the web site there's a list of incidents with plenty of detail. The first one is:
quote:Go wild. Check out each one. I admit there are a very few in which the right-wing connection isn't strongly established, but not enough to change the overwhelming trend. BTW, none of the incidents were labeled "terrorist". Please try to keep up. Every one of them made the news. Are you telling me you didn't hear about the synagogue shooting in April? (Obviously they're a little behind. El Paso adds 22 more on the right wing tally, and Dayton adds nine in the one incident by a liberal). Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

Right, you love your bubble of lies and reality just doesn't matter.
Get a friend or friends to help. Hire someone to set up your computer for better viewing. I'm not a big fan of Best Buy's Geek Squad, but that should be within their capabilities. Until then don't make any claims about right-wing violence.

What a WONDERFUL job of motivating me.
Nothing can motivate you to have any interest in reality. You've made that abundantly clear. I appreciate the softer tone of your last few messages. But your mind is still locked up tight Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

Trump could only assume that some of them are not criminals.
He was talking about most of the migrants.

Facebook bans the Epoch Times ads after huge pro-Trump buy: By hiding its multimillion-dollar dark money ad spend, the organization is bypassing Facebook’s political advertising transparency rules.

I am always amazed at YEC's and right-wing nutjob's inability to conceive of more than two possibilities. It's as if such blindness is a requirement for admission.
Faith, there is a near-infinite number of possible outcomes of climate change and our actions (or lack thereof). Your inability to think of more than two possibilities does not, as always, affect that reality. But you are determined to fuck our descendants as thoroughly as possible by ignoring it. So the obscenely rich can amass more riches and corporations can destroy what environment we have left. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

I didn't say right or left, I said obscenely rich. Try reading what I write instead of what you want me to write.
We should be developing and manufacturing more renewable energy sources. They are already economically advantageous in many situations, and rapidly gaining in many others. Unfortunately Trump has surrendered any leadership we had to China, and has tried to prop up dead-end coal. (some of the biggest coal fired generators are shutting down. Not economical.) We should be participating in the world-wide effort to reduce carbon output and increase sequestration. But we're not, because Trump pulled out of the Paris accord. The economic future is murkier. There are models that predict almost any possibility. Those steps definite do not necessarily lead to economic disaster. But our present course is untenable. I think the right will continue to block any positive staps and the rest of the world won't be able to do enough. Mankind and much of our civilization will survive, but after an economc whirlwind that will make the Great Depression look like a minor hiccup. What will happen when the Midwest is too hot to grow wheat but Siberia is perfect?

Trump admin says children of US soldiers born overseas will no longer get automatic American citizenship
quote: Faith I would really like to hear your reaction. It's not fake news, it's Government policy. Here's the official USCIS announcement https://www.uscis.gov/...0190828-ResidenceForCitizenship.pdf (note PDF). Anything for our men and women in the Armed Forces, right?
