Republicans closing ranks around and backing Jim Jorden.
Democrats throw their members under the bus at the slightest accusation.
Republicans could be protecting someone who is guilty
Democrats could be attacking people who are innocent
Both responses are seriously flawed.
Both responses circumvent due process.

Some migrant parents who have been reunited with their young children say the children no longer recognize them, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
The parents told the newspaper that after waiting months to see their children again, the kids cried and didn’t recognize them.
“He didn’t recognize me,” one parent, Mirce Alba Lopez, told the Times of her 3-year-old son. “My joy turned temporarily to sadness.”
The parents also said the children believed that the other children they were detained with were their siblings.
The families who spoke with the Times were reunited Tuesday after a court ordered the Trump administration to reunify the families separated at the border under a since-ended administration policy.

The instances of white cops showing bias, if not outright bigotry towards people of color like myself are almost legion, and that taints my viewpoint towards them. And while I try not to biased against white cops since only a tiny number of them are badge wearing thugs with axes to grind against blacks or other minorities, I’ll admit it’s hard to remain neutral.

England is out of the World Cup. That leaves Croatia vs France. So much for a Chunnel Game.

Profond sympathy. In a perfect world it really wouldn't matter a gnat's gonad what colour or race anybody was. But we both know our world is a wee bit different.
But essentially I don't see any real difference between a Mexican cop giving a Puerto Rican grief for no reason other than the latter's nationality, and a white cop giving somebody grief for just not being white. The cop ought to be in same amount of trouble either way, I think.

So all of Democrat's cries that crossing the border is barely a crime at all and should never be treated this harshly has finally been met with the reply of "We'll just MAKE IT a crime that we can punish this harshly!" and then just continuing to do what they're doing. How very predictable.
So, how long until it becomes a death penalty offense?
He did more than that as the video showed, and which is why Officer McDonothing is on "PAID" desk duty. He shoulda been cut loose. Dude was drunk and could have proved a threat physically. I'm gonna go out of my way and say she's not a fighter. So it was his job to de-escalate. If she was white and dude was black, Black woulda been tased or dead.
Been a fan of France since FIFA '98 on the N64 -- the real team lived up to the stats on the game.
Loved seeing Suarez get knocked out but hated seeing England lose to Croatia -- makes it a lot easier to pick a fave in the Final though.
Wonder how much of that frustration will transfer over to the Trump protest -- not that the Brits need any more reason to be angry with the man.
