cavanami Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 This was soooo good! Laura Loomer & illegal immigrants crash Nancy Pelosi’s California estate Conservative activist Laura Loomer invaded the Napa Valley estate of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and set up a ‘sanctuary’ for illegal immigrants, amid the ongoing government shutdown over funding the border wall. In addition to a mansion in San Francisco, Pelosi owns a vineyard in Napa Valley, California’s wine country. It was there that Loomer showed up on Monday, accompanied by several men wearing yellow vests, who were reportedly immigrants in the US illegally. They climbed over the waist-high stone wall and set up a tent on the front lawn, with the word “Immorality” stenciled in red and photos of Americans killed by illegal immigrants hanging off one side. The whole thing was live-streamed. https://www.rt.com/usa/448814-laura-loomer-pelosi-protest/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Cavanami, isn't it great, that activists, even conservative ones, are able to protest, without being mown down in a hail of bullets. You'll probably be unaware, that historically, it's the left, that have pushed such freedoms. And now you're quoting RT.com? Maybe we should get Putin an honorary account for this thread, do you wanna ask him if he wants one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, has insisted that he “never said there was no collusion” between Trump’s 2016 presidential election campaign and Russia https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/17/rudy-giuliani-i-never-said-there-was-no-collusion-by-trump-campaign Michael Cohen: I Rigged Online Polls for Trump - Scheme with Liberty University’s IT director was carried out ‘at the direction and for the sole benefit’ of the president...https://www.thedailybeast.com/cohen-hired-it-firm-to-rig-online-polls-for-trump-says-report It’s the details that are particularly compelling. Payment made, was, according to the Wall Street Journal, a Walmart bag, blue, containing somewhere over $12,000 in cash and a boxing glove that Michael Cohen, then Trump’s personal attorney, claimed had been owned by a Brazilian fighter. We’re meant to infer from Cohen’s assurances on the glove that it was somehow worth $38,000; otherwise, that Walmart bag wouldn’t have contained the $50,000 that Cohen was supposed to turn over. coming fast and thick, late stage Watergate...

cavanami Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 This is great....exposing this fraud of a politician 5555 President Trump Cancels Pelosi Trip Overseas — Hour Before Departure ‘If you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative’ Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed,” the letter addressed to Pelosi from the president’s desk reads. “We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate.” Trump went on: “I also feel that during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the Shutdown. Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative.” The President’s trip cancellation notice to Pelosi reportedly came “just minutes before the congressional delegation was set to depart,” reports Fox News. “Her congressional delegation military aircraft was slated to leave at 3 p.m. ET, Fox News’ John Roberts reports.” The move comes one day after Pelosi demanded the president postpone his State of the Union address, set for Jan. 29, due to “security concerns” over the shutdown’s effect on the Secret Service. “Sadly, given the security concerns and unless government re-opens this week, I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has re-opened for this address or for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to the Congress on January 29th,” Pelosi wrote to Trump.

Coss Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 yes I saw that - She is the speaker, and Trump has once again disclosed classified material. I also see that Nancy suggested Trump cancel the state of the union address, or send written version. Perhaps written in sharpie on the back of a Big Mac wrapper...

passingthru69 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 There is a Thai restaurant in the States, that the wife and I vist often. She has become somewhat friends with the owner and some of the staff. There is a sever there, who misses home much. But their Visa has expired and now worries about what will happen if they try to return home. So this person justw works and then goes to their house. Not going out much. She asked how did it happen The reply was, Well I was going to go back at the proper time, but I missed the date and then I got worried about what would happen. So now I just stay here.

Steve Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I had a British boss who was on an overstayed tourist visa. She got sent back after 9/11. After 9/11 there was an increased crackdown. She appealed but didn't get to stay. Tourist and student visas are how almost all of them are done.
