Rape on transit train and people use their phones to record it. He had a previous sex charge but a judge let him stay here. If he was kicked out, with our borders he stood a good chance of coming back. People against a tighter border are just wrong.

I do not understand the compulsion to use the phone to take videos everywhere.

I landed in Philly and walked to a car rental.  It was daytime and encountered three racial disputes in five minutes. People screaming at each other and starting to fight. I thought I was safe inside the rental office and a customer was yelling at the guy behind the counter because she thought it was a racial matter that he took another customer before her! This was twenty years ago so maybe they have fixed all that craziness!!

Some of his arrests were in Philly, a "sanctuary city." How many crimes are necessary before people realize the nonsense of "sanctuary cities?" The people that support "sanctuary cities" are saying these crimes are not that important. Other countries don't allow this idiocy. Why us?

I think the train went through 27 stops before he was arrested.

So, is the death of Colin Powell political?

Trump can really be a classy guy.
It wouldn't be so bad that presidents sounded like an ass if they had policies I liked.
For 20 minutes Biden is telling stories that nobody wants to hear at a time that people are looking for some substance about mounting problems.

We are a million miles apart on the 6th. There might be that third of people that are strong Dems thinking American Democracy is under threat and  only some of them think so because of what happened on the 6th.

If CNN wanted, could they influence the results? No, you say? This is the same CNN poll that says elected officials in the US will successfully overturn the results of a future election because their party did not win.

"...heard what you wanted to hear..."
Difficult to not hear what he says. Twenty minutes of family time and memory lane. At the age he is he is better dealing with things in the past than dealing with the present.

But it was the worst assault on the capital since 1812!! Pramila Jayapal just now repeated this in front of Garland.
And if there were ten people in the crowd would it still be the worst since 1812?

Biden Helps His Son

Walter Shaub, head of OGE (ethics) under Obama says Hunter should have canceled the "art" sale because he knows the prices are based on his dad's job.
"Shame on POTUS if he doesn't ask Hunter to stop..."
Is the president too addled to realize there is one reason why $500,000 was connected to one painting, his job as president?

Jonathon Turley just commented Garland's testimony seemed as if Garland had been in a sensory and memory deprivation tank for weeks. Garland said he is not aware that recently people forced (55 arrests) their way into the Interior Dept.
