    Yee got off easy. He was able to completely avoid gun trafficking and terrorism charges by pleading guilty to corruption.

    He wasn’t just trying to smuggle guns across state lines. He was plotting to smuggle in machine guns and shoulder fired rockets from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a radical Islamic group in the Philippines. He was operating an international gun smuggling operation with a terrorist group. He also had connections to the Chinese mob in SF. The FBI got him on tape complaining about how much he hates the US and his plans to retire to the Philippines.

    Now he’s just another non-violent offender who skated on a weak plea deal. Yeah, five years in prison but the plea deal was weak. Thank God Jerry Brown signed a law making it illegal for convicted felons to hold public office in CA. If he hadn’t, I have no doubt Yee would run for office again after he gets out of prison...and he’d probably win. He received over 300,000 votes for Secretary of State AFTER he was arrested, so yeah, I have no doubt he’d win. Some things in this state just don’t make any sense.

    It's tougher to see people today who not only try to cram centuries of history into a 1-liner, but they also speak of it as though it happened to them personally. And it didn't, they grew up in the US and are American citizens. Besides, what nations on this planet were NOT established by either conquest or attrition? If you can't defend your turf, someone will take it from you. It's not a pretty fact, but it is a fact.

    Also, referring to conquerors as "immigrants" is pretty trite. It reeks of weakness and whining.

    You are missing the point. The average white American does not have the claim to the land they think they do. And if you think someone stronger can and should take it well Mexicans will outnumber white people soon probably half the reason this style of racism is tolerated now. White people are afraid. The Latin Americans are in the place to be dominant make American speak Spanish if they want. There were lots of white people they were able to over run the native culture. Why should brown people not have the same right when most of the Southwest US was Mexico 200 years ago anyway?


    The Indian cultures were around MUCH longer than 1776 to 2018 too. White people don't have a leg to stand on. So by your own rules white people are now weak, stupid, and should be replaced. It's not the Mexican kids who don't go to college because it is a "conspiracy" it's the average white Trump voter who still thinks American coal is a real option. Yet they blame the Mexican for taking his job.Oh you mean the man who does not speak English? Get real and look at your own life choices. Never one have I worried about a Mexican taking my jobs

    Numbers don't directly equal strength and you know this. So while celebrating the demise of a race of people may seem opportune, consider how long racists have been doing it. Also, do you not see the racist irony of having the gall to say "average white American"? What's next? "The White Man" (as said by a racist Native American)?

    No matter what ''side'' you're on, or who these people are (if they're really the parents or not) bringing these children to the border like this, it's sad that children are caught in the middle. They can't decide for themselves anything,and if they're being separated from their parents, it's just a sick tragedy. Children shouldn't ever be separated from their parents, no matter what. It seems like it would be far more traumatic for a kid to go through something like that, than to simply let them stay with their parents. I think it's important however for the authorities not to assume that every child is with their parents, because it could be an opportunity for children to be kidnapped, and used for human trafficking, and those adults with those kids aren't related to them, at all. It's just sad. :(

    This has been going on for years. If you don't wanna be seperated from your kids, don'y try and come here illegally.

    That question is probably the stupidest thing I’ve heard this year.

    Racist divisive comments, after racist divisive comments.

    But if you have any little gray cells left in that brain of yours, think back to about a year ago…… Charlottesville Virginia, do you remember now, when a group of Ku Klux Klan members went on a rampage and the president was unwilling to criticize them, which shouldn’t be a surprise since Trump's father was arrested at a KKK rally back in 1927. – Interesting

    Indeed, children were separated from their parents when slavery was legal and during the suppression of the American Indians.

    Doesn't make it right now.

    The Time photographer never stated that the girl was taken from her mother.
    Time itself, did report that, but they have since issued a correction.
    No one has ever said that media outlets never make mistakes.
    They made a mistake and they owned it.
    The point is they admitted they got this fact wrong......so it isn't an alternative fact, they retracted it.

    Time isn't the only one using the photo.

    Nor the only one spinning the photo.
