Family reunification.

Gotta wonder how many American posters on this thread have family members that benefited from this over the decades.

Likely almost all - other than any who are are full-blood Native American.

And those that trace their ancestry back to the 16-1700's. But, that is a whole other story.

If it's that important to some guy to be around all his aunts, uncles, cousins, brother-in-laws, and the hundreds of other "family relatives," then he should stay where he is. He shouldn't expect all of them to come to him when he leaves town.

The simple answer to any alien who whines about missing his family is "Then, go home."

Johnson Walks It Back: ‘Real Possibility’ That ‘Secret Society’ Text Was A Joke

TPM

I won't ask the rhetorical question, "How do people get this stupid?", because we know how that happens.

Quote:

If you were watching Fox News on Tuesday or Wednesday this week, you no doubt heard about the “explosive new claims” and “bombshell” revelations that there was an anti-Trump “secret society” in the FBI. In fact, the term “secret society” was aired on the network over 100 times during those two days. But if you tuned into Fox on Thursday, the morning after ABC News threw cold water on the “secret society” conspiracy theory, all you heard were crickets.

This new narrative began on Monday night when Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) claimed on Fox News that a post-election text message exchange between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page contained the line, “Perhaps this is the first meeting of the secret society.” Gowdy omitted any context to the message and offered no evidence to show that such a text, which has not been released, wouldn’t have been facetious.

Fox News went all in.

The following two days, the phrase “secret society” was aired on Fox over 100 times. The network repeatedly showed the video of Rep. Gowdy and another video of Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) as Fox anchors, hosts, and guests piled on.

@ehBeth,

This entire idea that only Native Americans are not immigrants is a bunch of hooey. Unless the "Natives" developed here and not in Africa, like the rest of us, then they are just as much immigrants as we are. The left needs to drop this charade, it's only point is to push for amnesty for all illegal immigrants. It's a twist on historical immigration and a cheap attempt to discredit anyone who is white. Just like you did with your mention of white nationalities.

What about his "Secret Society" informer that told him it was true? What is the name of his secret society?

@BillW,

Maybe it will be found in the "missing" but now "found" text messages. How is it that any one involved with Hillary and the DNC has such horrible luck with technology?

@BillW,

Problem is, there's nothing the least bit funny about the way "secret society" was used in that context.

On the other hand, Johnson's comment was clearly made sarcastically. He sneered at the questions, then flippantly said "that's a possibility" as he slammed the door on the guy. It was like, "if you're stupid enough to even ask that question, then I won't bother to disillusion you."

@layman,

It's like when Trump said "blame Samsung!" in a tweet. CNN and the other cheese-eating networks took him literally, and thought HE was blaming Samsung. He was merely pointing out what a joke of an excuse that was.

Samsung has since came out and said that none of the missing texts could be due to any of it's design/programming.

More proof against the Liar-in-Chief. Tried to fire Mueller in June but the WH attorney, Don McGahn was going to resign if he did, then wanted to fire Rosenstein. All for corrupt reasons. Snake eating his tail, what a doofus!

Trump’s lawyers have said there was no obstruction of justice in the firing of Comey because the president has the right to fire his FBI director and was simply executing his constitutional authority.

That would be true if Trump didn't admit to the press he was thinking of the Russian matter and if he didn't tell that Russian guy who was in in the WH it was a load off his having gotten rid of Comey. (words to that effect on both)

It is true regardless. The Constitution does not forbid the President from exercising his power if the decision involves Russia.

There is nothing to debate. The American people reject the Freedom Haters and demand that America remain a free country.

And never mind that the president's words directly conflict with his months earlier decision to repeal a bill designed to block some people with mental health disorders from buying guns.

He signed a bill that repealed an executive order (and forbade future presidents from ever making a similar executive order).

Obama's executive order was not aimed at people with mental health disorders. It was directly aimed at normal citizens with healthy minds.

How much longer will the world sit by and let the "mining" of cryptocurrency waste huge amounts of energy?

What do they think they are going to do about it? And who says it's a waste?

Are BOINC projects a waste too? What about Fold@Home?

I switched my GPU from doing Fold@Home to mining Ethereum (when I'm not playing World of Warcraft) a few weeks ago. I now possess one tenth of one Ethereum. That's worth more than $100.

That's not making money fast enough for me to retire early, but if I let it build I'll be able to buy something nice for myself.

Growing concerns about a possible nuclear war and other global threats have pushed forward the symbolic Doomsday Clock by 30 seconds - to just two minutes before midnight.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) said it had acted because the world was becoming "more dangerous".

A sensible move, considering that North Korea is likely to start a nuclear war with us in a few years.
