This is a Senator, for god's sake. She doesn't understand that crossing the border illegally is actually a "crime" or somehow believes that it's only a crime because Trump says it's a crime. When told that there is a specific criminal statue, she claims "confusion"?
Certainly it's true that the executive branch can make certain decisions on prosecuting certain crimes. For example, there has been no Federal attempts to bust up the pot shops in states that have legalized marijuana (in spite of the fact that selling it is a Federal crime).
It's even true that the Obama administration chose not to prosecute most aliens who crossed the border illegally. Rather they relied on civil actions. But the fact that the previous administration did not prosecute a particular crime, doesn't mean it's not a crime. It was simply a crime that Obama did not feel should be prosecuted.
Short of executive direction to "not" prosecute a particular criminal activity, it's the default responsibility for law enforcement to prosecute all criminal activities. This is exactly what border security and ICE are doing. What's the confusion?

to pay with a check. to buy alcohol, tobacco, or even OTC cold meds (thanks to liberal asshats).
btw alky, trump also lied about the crowd size at his local grocery store. he says the crowds are so fucking big at his grocery store.... much bigger than the crowd size at 0linsky's grocery store.
Seriously folks
..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!
He specifically said buy groceries.
WASHINGTON — President Trump called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday to end the special counsel investigation, an extraordinary appeal to the nation’s top law enforcement official to halt an inquiry directly into the president.
The order immediately raised questions from some lawyers about whether it was an attempt to obstruct justice. The special counsel, appointed last year to oversee the government’s Russia investigation, is already looking into some of the president’s previous Twitter posts and public statements to determine whether they were intended to obstruct the inquiry into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and any ties to the Trump campaign.
Mr. Trump’s lawyers quickly moved to contain the fallout, saying it was not an order to a member of his cabinet, but merely an opinion.

"Seriously folks"
NO way you can copy and paste your lies with a "serious" face, fruitcake.
"no, no he didn't. here's what trump tweeted;"
The drunkard lies about everything.

Alky, we explained to ya on the other thread.

So Much Winning

Trump got a huge win today.
Federal Reserve Rates remain the same. Trump had publicly asked them nicely to not raise them.

Cali's right, Roger is insane.
The lawyers said that it was only a suggestion. His staff has to fix his impulsive behavior. He's acting like an angry 72 year old man who can't stand the fact that he can't do whatever he wants to do.
Miss Alzheimer's disease has little room to talk about insanity .
“If you go out and want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID. You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID and need your picture. In this country, the only time you don’t need it in many cases is when you want to vote for a president,"
Trump is insane.
"Alky, we explained to ya on the other thread.

He's insane.
Period.
The President today stepped up to the edge of obstruction of justice according to his lawyer Rudi Giuliani.
Trump said "This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. "
(Should) is being used by Giuliani and the White House staff to avoid being clearly obstructing the investigation. It's not an "order" is a very weak argument. If this ever goes in front of a jury, given his history they would probably believe that he was trying to order the firing of Muller it's not going anywhere else.
It was legally for the President inappropriate to address an ongoing investigations. Especially when he is a target of the investigation.
I'm surprised that you agree with me. The President is insane

Ho hum.
