You are one m short of being a Mormon.
That one's a keeper . . . . . .
In case anyone forgot that really rich people have strange problems that none of us will ever have, look at this:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/16/world/europe/russia-skripal-debutantes-britain.html
Putin's GRU nerve gas poison squad tried to kill an ex-KGB spy in Salisbury last March. That has put the kibosh on this year's Russian Debutante Ball for the daughters of wealthy oligarchs living in London. Britain is refusing to grant visas to wealthy relatives and family friends, because they are all closely connected to Putin and the Kremlin.

Having Trump host a debutante's ball at his place would be every parent's worst nightmare: a coked and Viagraed sociopathic old geezer wandering around "checking up on things", barging in on naked teenage girls, and throbbing up against them. Later, using his Mar-A-Lago passkey, he would enter their rooms while they are sleeping, and climb into bed with them. Trump's final insult would be to have his "fixers" threaten the underage girls with violence and financial ruin if they ever spoke about how he had desecrated their bodies with his tiny accomplice.
Trump has done all of those things, according to a BBC documentary that asks the question: Is President Trump a sex pest?

Just so you know, the BBC is the British Broadcasting Corporation, and it is a public service broadcaster, similar to America's PBS. The BBC was established under a Royal Charter, and British law requires that BBC news programs present factual news. BBC news shows are not allowed to present tabloid-trash fiction as if it were true, in the manner commonly seen on Fox News in America.

According to Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, if Democrats had it their way, Texas would be just like California, "right down to tofu and silicon and dyed hair."
Once again, a GOP Senator has made an absurd statement.
 Tofu is a fairly common ingredient in Tex-Mex cuisine; Texas grows far more soybeans than California
Texas Instruments was one of the first American companies to make silicon computer chips
Ted Cruz dyes his hair

Having studied Freeway Driving behavior for many years, I can conclude that everyone who drives on a highway is a criminal, for exceeding the posted speed limit, even these two. One is probably in the U.S. illegally and is an abuser of drugs and women (doesn't that add up to three strikes).
Guess which.

Trump makes these real Merikins prowd- Kinda like a Dad is proud of his son for kicking some ass on the weaklings at the playground. This is the proud butterfly stage. Of course Dad brags about this to all his buddies in front of the kid- maybe not internationally, but Dad continues to encourage the kid right up to the point where the cops show up at the front door. At this point, because of limited coping skills, the typical response is to deny, deflect, scapegoat and finally put up the emotional wall and withdraw into a cocoon of bitterness and contempt. This is the pupa stage where the type of people that support Trump lie in wait for the next opportunity to spread their wings.

zbrown...speeding is an infraction. You can't be jailed for it. Entering the country is, at minimum, a misdemeanor, which you can be jailed for. Speeding does not go on a criminal record, non-traffic misdemeanors do.
Jody,
It's all relative; I think ;)
If you were still a cop and you'd stopped Ron and I on the straight section of Highway 25, going north at 143 MPH in his open top Porche (his idea, not mine), then what?
I tried to tell him that they don't give tickets for 143 MPH. Back me up on this one please?
(And the statute of limitations ran long ago, so I can safely discuss this in public.)

Crime is crime
Punishment is punishment
There's a book about it, by a Russian no less.
“When reason fails, the devil helps!” -FD
Can one be arrested and placed in jail for speeding. Why yes, one can. Try not signing the citation, for example.
I could pick another example that demonstrates the same thing "on the books", but I won't.

Like I said
Crime is crime
If one isn't doing something to be pulled over for then there's no citation to sign
So speed indeed can get you to jail
So what speed is reckless?
You be d judge

You know they put you in the backseat of a car and take you to jail
The point is, less than .0001 percent of the population of the U.S. has never violated any law and are not criminals. Even the greatest President of all time Donut Trup admits to having violated the law. His lawyer said he did not know it was illegal.
Lock him down before someone gets hurt.

isreal [sp] shot down a Russian ELINT aircraft over Syria today...
It was over the Mediterranean. And, the word on the street is that it was shot down by Syrian missile defenses.
Other than that you pretty much nailed it.
EDIT: Tad beat me to it.

A US Central Command spokesman did not comment on where the strikes originated from but denied US forces were involved: "The US was not involved in any strikes in Western Syria or in the shoot down of any planes tonight," US Navy Capt. Bill Urban said in a statement to Business Insider.
Russia and the Syrian regime have previously boasted about their air defense capabilities. After an airstrike in which US and its allies fired over 100 missiles towards suspected chemical weapons facilities in April, Russian forces claimed the "high-effectiveness" of Russian-supplied weapons and "excellent training of Syrian servicemen" had shot down 71 missiles.
Russia's claim was contradicted by US reports that said Syria's air defenses were "largely ineffective" in response to its "precise and overwhelming" strikes.
"The Syrian response was remarkably ineffective in all domains," US Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie said at the time.
QuoteThe official SANA news agency said the Technical Industry Institution in the state-controlled city had been targeted, adding it isn’t known who fired the missiles.
Russian radars registered missiles launched from a French frigate and recorded four Israeli jets over Syria at the time of the attack, Russia Today reports.
The Israeli military refused to comment on claims they were behind the attack on Syria.
Personnel at Hmeimim airbase are now carrying out a search and rescue operation to locate the Russian aircraft.
This comes hours after Turkey and Russia agreed to establish a buffer zone in the Idlib province of Syria. Here

Help me out with this one will you guys?
There is now a Republican Senate, House, and President
The Republican President has hand picked and appointed his very own Attorney General
So why is, Hermit Master, that all these Hillary Hating Republicans can't put her in prison?
Your boys have all the power, why haven't they charged, indicted her with something?
anything?
Put your powerful intellect forward forum conservatives, explain why your own people, your own government, your own Attorney General, have not brought charges?
I know the answer why they haven't, but I want you to tell us
