    My point was a rock isn't shooting as you claimed. And besides the whole thing does appear to be just another cynical Trump political ploy. Looks like the agent wasn't even hit with a rock and that his death was an accident.

    And why is the military being deployed two months early? Other than politics of course

    Have you ever considered how many times Trump has declared things to be true that were not? Why don't you apply the same standards to him that you do to every reporter or news source out there? Why the duplicity?

    Top dollar. That didn't come with the low-end model I bought for my kids.

    I suspected as much even before the press report. Why are Trump supporters so trusting & loyal to this self-serving, mentally deranged liar? Using the U.S. Army as a tool to elicit votes is digging a new low for Presidential behavior. But, that's Trump for you. :oops:

    "Reality Winner" was certainly an ironic name for the other leftist that got caught.

    Also the Party of Sanctuary Cities and Feces in the Streets. Vote Democrat!

    "SAN FRANCISCO — The heroin needles, the pile of excrement between parked cars, the yellow soup oozing out of a large plastic bag by the curb and the stained, faux Persian carpet dumped on the corner.
    It’s a scene of detritus that might bring to mind any variety of developing-world squalor. But this is San Francisco, the capital of the nation’s technology industry, where a single span of Hyde Street hosts an open-air narcotics market by day and at night is occupied by the unsheltered and drug-addled slumped on the sidewalk.
    There are many other streets like it, but by one measure it’s the dirtiest block in the city. Just a 15-minute walk away are the offices of Twitter and Uber, two companies that along with other nameplate technology giants have helped push the median price of a home in San Francisco well beyond $1 million."
    THE NEW YORK TIMES, Life on the Dirtiest Block in San Francisco, The 300 block of Hyde Street in San Francisco received 2,227 complaints about street and sidewalk cleanliness over the past decade, more than any other., By Thomas Fuller, Oct. 8, 2018.

    It's past time for Trump to get rid of any remaining Clinton and Obama appointees in the Pentagon and elsewhere. IMO they present a risk to our national security.

    Vote Democrat! The Party of Democratic Socialism!

    "Start with democratic socialism. The Democratic Socialists of America, of which Ocasio-Cortez is a member, believe in economies defined by state-owned enterprises and worker-owned cooperatives. Versions of this have been tried to varying degrees before: Israel in its first decades; post-independence India; Sweden in the 1960s and ’70s.

    It always led to crisis: hyperinflation for Israel in 1980s; an I.M.F. bailout for India in 1991; a banking meltdown for Sweden in 1992. It’s usually a recipe for corruption: State-owned enterprises such as Pemex in Mexico or Eskom in South Africa are local bywords for graft and mismanagement. It frequently leads to dictatorship. Hugo Chávez was also a democratic socialist.

    People used to know this stuff. That someone like Ocasio-Cortez apparently doesn’t is a fresh reminder that, in politics as in life, the most obvious lessons are the ones you can least afford to stop teaching."

    THE NEW YORK TIMES, Democratic Socialism Is Dem Doom, By Bret Stephens, July 6, 2018.

    The documents were released as they were only restricted. Not enough for the naysayers I see.

    Have you noticed the Democrats always believe the Democrats sources that claim they are not identified?

    Open fire and create ugly pictures. In Germany we could stop this only when we acted harsh and published it.

    There's the racist card again. How, exactly, is any of this racist?

    Her parents were probably utopians.
