[Well, psychiatrists are beginning to report running into more and more patients with Trump Anxiety Disorder (TAD).  TAD seems to be particularly prevalent among those lefties who have suffered from TDS.  The Hill reports on it here.  I guess the human noggin' can stand only so much hate and discontent before it succumbs to a clinical condition.  Should TAD sufferers still be allowed to vote?  gjr]

    The po’ ol’ fakenewsman asks – “What about those children stripped and stuck in cages?”
    You should be asking their criminal parents why. Lets not forget that its been going on for decades. Stripped, you mean like relieved of their lice infested clothes and given a bath and a general physical?

    Paul 104pm – there is difference between ‘negate’ and ‘put in perspective’. If putting something into perspective also changes its initial characterization, then the change is appropriate.

    Should they be sent home? Therein lies a problem. Deported parents are leaving their children behind. They are making conscious decisions to abandon their children. Many choose to turn their backs on their own children and go home without them, banking on some time in the future they can use their pawns….er….children as quasi anchor babies as a ticket to gain entrance to the US at a future date. Anchor Baby, the Sequel.
    Others are using their children as a get out of jail free card. Many who come to pick up “their children” are not even the parents of the minors. They are criminals, sex traffickers, and the like. They know if they come for their children they will be arrested on the spot and deported.
    Where is the outcry against the parents of the 10,000 unaccomplied minors that appear at the border (the good side of the border) wandering around waiting for Border Patrol agents to pick them up, feed, care, and educate them.
    What kind of parent would give 8 and 10 year old daughters a handful of morning after pills and sent them off with human traffickers on to a destination thousands of miles away?? Many are found dead along the route. What kind of animal would do that to their own children just to able to jump in line ahead of those who are following the rules and awaiting legal entrance to put one toe on sacred US soil. I will tell you what kind of parent would do that. Low life pieces of shit. Those kind of people are not welcome here, ever.
    Some things do not change. Criminals will break our laws, law abiding folks will obey our laws. A family that is deported together stays together. “Where is Mommie and Daddy?” Sorry kid, they left your ass behind and disappeared into the country somewhere….without you.

    The parents were also lied to saying their children were going to be given a physical and cleaned up. They were then whisked away and in many cases not reunited with their parents. Kidnapping I call it.

    Go rob a bank with a kid in the car and when they take you to JAIL for breaking the law and the kid goes into the system. Half a million a year fall in that category. Don’t do the crime if you don’t want the penalties.
    Why don’t you go to mexico city and demand asylum and see how that goes! You can call it a tricycle if you want but that does not change the nature of the criminal act that precipitated the separation.

    I see Paul Emery is now chastising Obama and his regime for stripping the screaming chillin from their adult’s arms and place in cages to rot like shark meat in Iceland.
    I am shocked that Paul Emery would treat his favorite President so poorly. Next thing you know he will be asking for Obama’s brother to be imported and his auntie exported.
    Trump passed a EO to stop the Obama legacy of child abuse and all Paul Emery can do is criticize him. Looks to me that Paul Emery is all about “child abuse” since Trump stopped the treatment Obama did for eight years on the munchkins. Shame on Paul Emery, you are a travesty to democracy.

    It isn’t an atrocity to separate a kid from their parent(s) who are going to adult time-out, Paul; as I said in an above post, there are a total of nearly a half million AMERICAN kids in foster care when the GOVERNMENT decides to separate kids from their parents, many of which are probably incapable of giving care to a child but many are loving parents trying their best.
    The alternative being put in place for mixed family groups illegally immigrating who recite the request for asylum is a family time-out for the duration of the wait for the adjudication of the asylum claim. It will be slightly larger cages, I’m sure.

    “Any disagreement is seen as proof of racism to be banished. Kim shares this with other intersectionalists, who think in Manichaean ways about the big issues, turning them into zero-sum battlegrounds in a war for their notion of justice. It is a fundamentally anti-academic approach …. a millennial authoritarian movement to weaponize knowledge, to advance passionately-held but often loopy notions about social justice.”

    Yes, children are separated from their parents for legal reasons but only after legal proceedings and they usually have access to visiting their children if they are in a foster situation. They are never snatched away without a legal process and it’s usually temporary at least the first time. Alsothere are attempts to place the children with other family members if possible. Are you saying the situations are similar Don?

    It’s the 3D gun issue a free speech issue? The courts have already determined that transmissions in computer code is speech. Interesting, from 929.
    The framers of the First Amendment neither could fathom the technological innovations of today’s world nor foresee the intricate legal questions that would result.91 Just as the introduction of prior inventions such as film and television presented novel First Amendment issues for courts to tackle, the world’s first 3-d printed gun presents similarly unique and complex issues.92 Perhaps some of the more challenging questions regarding new technological advancements and the law focus not on whether a power to regulate exists, but on whether the regulation fits within the contours of the First Amendment.93 As discussed above, this
    determination will first turn on whether a CAD file qualifies as speech despite its functionality.94 If defined as speech, the speech’s particular characterization will dictate the appropriate level of judicial scrutiny that laws regulating a CAD file should receive, ultimately determining whether regulating a CAD file violates the First Amendment.95
    A. A CAD File Should be Classified as Speech Under the First Amendment Because Although It Does Not Qualify as Pure Speech, It Contains Sufficient Elements of Communication.
    Although expressive, a CAD file moves beyond a pure speech categorization because it relies on modern-day aspects of functionality.96
    In fact, a CAD file is both expressive for its more traditional aspects of speech, the file’s blueprint design, and functional for its ability to instruct a printer to create a real, 3-d object from an online design.97 The CAD file’s functionality depends on the existence of an expressive blueprint design and, therefore, the file contains sufficient elements of communication to classify the file as a type of speech that warrants a First Amendment analysis.98
    1. The Blueprint of the 3-d Printable Gun Incorporates New Technology, Creating a Modern Blueprint That No Longer Qualifies as Pure Speech Under the First Amendment.
    Courts generally accept blueprints with instructional value as pure speech, meaning speech that lacks a non-speech component.99 However,…….

    Would you folks please stop saying that Paul likes Obama? Paul only voted for Barry the first time he ran for POTUS. That was when he ran on a platform of ‘no gay marriage’ and ‘balance the budget’ and ‘enforce the border laws’. Paul used to happily prance around the KVMR studios after Obama won and told anyone who would listen that only guys and gals are gonna git hitched with THIS new sheriff. He also made a point of saying how glad he was that Mexicans would now be stopped from coming in illegally. And surely this wonderful man would wave a magic wand to balance the budget as he promised.
    Well – we know what happened.
    It turns out that Paul had been cruelly hoodwinked. How could this happen? The man had such a nice crease in his slacks. As Biden had pointed out, he was a ‘clean’ negro. Oh, the pain! Soon, Paul found he had been lied to. The brown skinned folk flooded unabated across the border, nancy boys were deemed worthy of govt approved marriage and the debt doubled. Not only that, but the seas were still rising!

    If you would have actually read the link you sent to me you would have read this:
    ” Trump’s administration does have a new policy to separate children from their parents
    Both Favreau and Muñoz argued that the Trump administration’s policy of separating families at the border is different from the Obama administration’s handling of unaccompanied children.
    “This policy is new, cruel, and unprecedented,” Favreau tweeted. “It was not an Obama policy. It was not a Bush policy. It was not a Clinton policy. That is a fact. And that is what all of us — Democrats and Republicans — should want changed as soon as humanly possible.”
    The firestorm over the photos came amid ongoing backlash against the Trump administration’s recently implemented policy of criminally prosecuting people who illegally cross the border and separating them from their children .
    Though the photos are nearly identical to those from 2014, there is one key difference between them: the 2014 photos showed only children who arrived at the border unaccompanied. The 2018 photos also show families that have been separated from one another. “

    “I’m concerned you seem to treat these proceedings as another marketing exercise,” she said. She implied that she was running out of patience with him, saying the case “continues to be to this minute extraordinary.”
    Mr. Manafort’s lawyers suggested that he had reached out innocently to his former colleagues, not knowing whether they had been contacted by Mr. Mueller’s team. But Mr. Andres said Mr. Manafort was simply deceiving the court, just as he had deceived law enforcement agencies and tax authorities over the years.

    LOL! Paul gets schooled on “O”‘s pound puppies. (Yes Paul! “O” caged kids!) It only matters when Trump did it. Then you run for the sand dunes in your Wayback Machine?
    BTW. The vary same intelligence you on the Proggy Left say “WE MUST BELIEVE” because they say “Russia owns Trump”,, said WMD “WERE THERE!!!!” (along with EU intelligence, UK intelligence.)
    But that has no meaning to the guy who thinks no war is just.
    Oh.. Almost forgot.. Those “women and children” you spoke of.
    Killed by their own Gov.

    More bad news for he po’ ol’ faknewsman –
    Economists had expected a nonfarm payrolls gain of 190,000 and the jobless rate to tick down to 3.9 percent.
    Nonfarm payroll growth for June was revised up to 248,000 from 213,000. May’s jobs were revised to 268,000 from 244,000. So what seems to have happened is that many of the jobs that were expected in July were actually created in prior months.

    “WMD’s were a phony lie and you know it.”

    Of course, now the 17 intelligence agencies are the font of all truth. The Russians are the expansionist hegemony. Trump invented the MAGA-box for children. Liberals are the champions of free speech. Everything is going to hell, just look around you.
    lol. Thanks God you exist, we’d have to invent you otherwise.

    That may be the quote of the summer. Saves creating a straw man. However, I don’t think Punchy is worth the time of day, all things considered. Worth “a bucket of warm spit” as our host described Paul Krugman’s opinions.
