Sounds like a good enough excuse to me!

You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.

I'm always struck by people's lack of patience with regard to political objectives and the actual pace of change.

It both unfair and mean to confused Trump supporters with the facts that is why Fox seldom does so.

Has about the same amount of truth to it.

Law enforcement agrees: The media’s border denialism is absurd

In The United States Most MS-13 Members Are American Citizens Or Legal Residents

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently carried out two large-scale operations targeting many gangs, including MS-13 and others, such as the Bloods.

According to May 12 reports, ICE arrested 1,378 individuals, of which 933 were U.S. citizens and just over 1,000 were confirmed to be a gang member or gang-affiliated.

A March 2016 operation of similar size netted 1,133 individuals, of which 894 were U.S. citizens. This means that out of some 2,500 individuals caught in these two major operations, 1,800, or 70 percent, were U.S. Citizens.

MS-13 has become a major scapegoat for Donald Trump and right-wing media in rationalizing harsh immigration policies. The Trump administration has referred to MS-13 gang members as “animals” who “infest” the United States—rhetoric that, as the Washington Post’s Greg Sargent (5/25/18) noted, “slaps the dehumanizing slur on the least sympathetic subgroup and then conflates that subgroup with the larger group that is the real target.”

This scapegoating seems to have worked: According to a recent HuffPost/YouGov survey, over 85 percent of Trump voters believe that MS-13 is a major threat to the United States as a whole. This level of anxiety seems misplaced, considering that even the Justice Department claims MS-13 has only about 10,000 members in the US.

But what Trump’s racist rhetoric and fearmongering media alike ignore is that MS-13 is partially a product of US policy. The gang was actually founded in the Pico Union neighborhood of Los Angeles in the early 1980s, by Salvadoran immigrants and refugees from its civil war. Its subsequent growth from a small street gang in the US to a transnational criminal organization based out of the Northern Triangle provides an illuminating case study of how US foreign policy choices can backfire spectacularly.

But what Trump’s racist rhetoric

DNC Becomes Latest Organization to Disavow Women’s March Amid Anti-Semitism Scandal

That's some stupid **** to say[fake music...]. I think your opinion (not you per se) is both naive and uneducated. Quite following the herd and try to form your own evaluation of the guy. Being a lickspittle media replicant is no way to form a forum personality.

In thw interests of balance..

Has anyone seen credible reporting on the recent Women's March = antisemitism story?
