(6,151 posts)not to mention as many eyes and ears as possible on alert for trolls. We do get occasional lost ones through here. I think they come and run so they can go back to GD and elsewhere to brag that they bearded the lion in its den. Guess what? Lions bite. Let the mods know if you see abusive posts - they can be counted on to put a stop to it. Trolls will holler at you; call you closed-minded and mean; if that doesn't work, they'll whine flimsy excuses, but they're just trying to hang on and suck blood like a bleepin' tick. The biggest tip-off comes when they 'apologize' or 'explain your misconceptions', maybe even promise not to do it anymore - until the next time.
Sounds rather like the profile of a domestic abuser, does it not?

(53,661 posts)...The Obama administration warned lawmakers on Thursday that border security agencies would run out of money this summer if the request was not approved...
Meaning the floodgates will be open. But it's not like the GOP doesn't LOVE illegal immigration. They are the party of cheap labor, after all.
Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican, said when asked about the spending bill that the priority had to be stopping the flow of children and teenagers from Central America to the United States.
The best way to do that is for planeloads of these young people to be returning to the country of origin, he told CNNs State of the Union. As soon as they (parents) see their money is not effective in getting their kids to this country, it will stop...
And the good news is:
The bill saw opposition from one Democrat, Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas.
That 2008 law, passed under George W. Bush, was passed for a reason, he told NBCs Meet the Press. Many people believe that these kids should have a chance to make their case for asylum. So I think weve got to be careful when we consider completely doing away with that law...
Yes, that's Julian's brother. Sorry about the McCain pic earlier. This is the Castro twins at the DNC, to lift your spirits:
