@BryanONolan @AGHamilton29 @Pixieprogrammer Suddenly cash starved gulf states from Saudi Arabia to the UAE with significant portion of their population with Islamist sympathies would probably create a few as well.

@AGHamilton29 @Pixieprogrammer I’ve always been a pro-fossil fuels guy, but getting ourselves/the West off of gulf oil would solve a great many problems

The extent to which gulf states and Qatar have sought to buy up control of media and entertainment in the United States is a real threat.
People actually concerned about foreign influence should be very wary of these efforts.

@jaketapper I would have gone with “they left in The Darkness on the Edge of Town” but that’s just me.

Bruce Springsteen has long made clear he’s no Trump fan — a message he's doubling down on with his new tour. The White House's response? The feeling is mutual. Here's what they told us👇politico.com/playbook

I want to be sympathetic to Mr. Wade's plight. I really do.
But why are we all seemingly afraid to point out that he was an LPR with a fast-track to citizenship, yet for decades never actually bothered to become a U.S. citizen?
Yes, I understand that his 2006 simple assault charge and 2007 bounced check probably sank his citizenship chances and got his green card revoked. But he came in 1975. His military service ended in 1987. He was a shoe-in for fast-tracked citizenship.
There's a span of at least twenty years between the time he became eligible to pursue citizenship under 8 U.S.C. 1439 and the time he committed the 2006 offense that would ultimately get his green card revoked.
He had TWO DECADES to become a citizen. He apparently chose not to pursue that option. Had he done so, his citizenship could not have been subsequently stripped for these offenses, and he would not have been deported.

@sweenprs @schmidthawk @AmySwearer Because? A large number of Americans do not care a whit about their citizenship.
English
@njh2005 @schmidthawk @AmySwearer Figure citizenship would mean more to him than a protection against deportation.

What’s the first thing you think of when you see Lou Diamond Phillips?
English
@schmidthawk @sweenprs @AmySwearer A decade old deportation order he had never been given the opportunity to challenge and had no knowledge of.
It was well within ICE’s discretion not to detain or deport him until he had been afforded due process.
English
WTH! He had a deportation order. ICE is legally required to enforce a judges deportation order.
Sure. You are used to Biden illegally ignoring the constitution and the laws on the books and WANT everything to follow your rules conveniently.
If you want laws changed then lobby your congressperson and pressure them to agree to an immigration bill.
You ignore this over and over just as you ignore that he could have gotten citizenship. You are wishcasting your political feelings. You have made zero arguments other than let’s ignore the rule of law.
English
@sweenprs @schmidthawk @AmySwearer Or he just never figured the people of the country he served would elect someone who wanted to deport those served.
English
English
@schmidthawk @sweenprs @AmySwearer WTH are you talking about?
The law as it exists allows this man to stay in the country. He is not being deported because it is legally required but merely because it is allowed.
English
Then lobby your congressperson to change the rule.
There is no enlist and you are immediately a citizen. However, we all know citizenship is expedited for them.
To you it is just some procedure so you can rationalize away any rule.
No surprise you run with the abuse rules crowd when you cannot get congress to change rules. And then cry when it’s not the way you want.
English
@sweenprs @schmidthawk @AmySwearer What a ridiculous argument. The fact the man served this country matters.
The fact he built a life here matters.
The fact he has family here matters.
The fact nothing in the law requires the man be deported matters.
English
@njh2005 @schmidthawk @AmySwearer And yet, he never thought it was worth the energy to get his citizenship. Nothing else matters here.
English
@Humble_Analysis @asymmetricinfo Not sure where you are getting this information. Life expectancy after the age of 60 increased by almost 3 years in the past 30 years.
English
@asymmetricinfo Life expectancy has not really changed in the past 30 years - and whatever small improvements there have been can be attributed to declining murders and car accident rates. Medical "advancements" haven't added a day to life expectancy in the past 3 decqdes.
English
Almost 20 percent of GDP is healthcare and you would be very, very upset to be denied the medical innovations of the last 30 years if you needed them. I had two teachers in high school who had heart attacks in their 30s. Both died before 50, because statins hadn't been invented.

I just completely reject that we are wealthier than we were 20 or 30 years ago in any way that matters. Whatever data seems to show that we are is very clearly not measuring what you want to measure. I don’t think burrito taxis matter. I think the phones have made us miserable. I don’t think the advancements in communication are important. I don’t care that the cars have more features. I don’t think any of this stuff matters like even a little bit. And I certainly wouldn’t trade my country for more of it. I think we long ago reached a level of comfort that’s sufficient. We aren’t hungry. We aren’t cold. We aren’t worked to death in fields. I wouldn’t trade my family for more stuff. I wouldn’t trade my country for more stuff. The people who see all this so-called material wealth and think that the opportunity costs are just too large to have children or that we need to give away the country to foreigners to keep the train rolling are in my view demented, deranged, lost. And their addiction to antidepressants and other mood-altering pills seems to confirm it.
English
@sweenprs @schmidthawk @AmySwearer His failure to follow some procedure to show his level of commitment to the country pales in comparison to his actual service to the country. Any offense taken by those whose citizenship required no effort at all on their part and never served their country is unwarranted.
English
@sweenprs @schmidthawk @AmySwearer Yes, that is why the outrage claims regarding this man ring hollow.

@sportsrapport @jr_bohl I would disagree but we have too many midwesterners here during the winter to encourage any to stay for the summer too.
