They are no threat......... This is just drama and chaos.

Not really. It’s an example of why most responsible politicians, including the majority of Republicans, view the populism used by Trump to appeal to the lowest classes by demonizing the poor, immigrants, ethnic/racial minorities and foreigners, for popular support as being grossly irresponsible. There is no doubt that appealing to the fears and resentments to the uninformed lower classes is a tried and true, though certainly cynical, political method to gain political support but these are the consequences of such irresponsible political behavior. Real human beings are harmed needlessly.

As if the plight of these immigrants isn’t bad enough. This isn’t enforcement of the law. This is what tyranny looks like.

And don’t think that tyranny can’t be turned against you if it becomes politically expedient to demonize a group you get lumped into.

typical.....you seem to think what is important is what happened over a hundred years ago........what is the Atlantic now.......

When did the USA become a THEOCRACY?

Dominionists want to abolish separation of Church and State. That's their deal. Trump has gravitated towards them and the prosperity doctrine... Ted Cruz is one.. lots of TV preachers are dominionists ..

thank you for your opinion.....I will cherish it always.......meanwhile, I expect the comment reflected "communist" in the commie, pinko, extremely lib'rul sense rather than the seizure of all private assets by the government sense....

Well, Trump did say he wanted Americans to respond to him as if he were Kim Yong Un. Somebody needs to remind him daily that he's NOT a king.

And yet it is the Leftists that are demanding we become a Theocracy, ... that our gov't ignore our laws and replace them with Christian or Islamic theology.

Maybe we’ll get to see what good ‘christians’ congressional Democrats are when the GOP immigration bill comes up lol.

The surest way to make sure that your opposition will reject a bill is to put a poison pill in it. In this case, it's funding for the wall. Then when rejected, you can scream to the morons of your base "See? They don't care about the ___, they just want to play politics!"

If I were a (D) legislator, I would negotiate publicly by saying "Okay, we will endorse the funding for the wall, but we are going to fund it by cutting an equal amount of money from ____ [pet programs of the (R)s like defense budget]."

can something which is self-imposed be a "plight".....

Can someone whose online stock in trade is being an unrelenting asshole be a decent person in real life?

That's the Republican plan. " If you really want to keep little babies from crying you will choke down the Berlin Wall of the southern border."

Setting aside the prevention of refugees from entering the US so that can claim asylum as allowed by Law, the breaking up of families has reached a new low that any one calling themselves "christian" should be disgusted by:

Ye are the Damned of Earth. Ye are the Whited Sepulcher. How early you do show for Righteousness and a form of godliness. Within your souls are as Dead Man's corrupted bones. that which is was and that watch was is. all things have come full circle since the last time the Lord walked among men. Apostasy is everywhere.

Notorious Trump-loving pastor forced to take down 'America is a Christian nation' billboard



A church in Texas was forced to take down their “America is a Christian nation” billboard after it drew criticisms from the local government.

The city made Robert Jeffres, who pastors First Baptist Dallas, remove their sign after a negative news reports.

The Dallas Morning News published two articles calling the sign “hateful” and “divisive,” and Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings was quoted in the article agreeing with the statements.

The articles were then sent to Outfront Media, who created the billboard, and the company decided to remove the billboard. Outfront Media also canceled their contract with the church.
