Imagine you are a member of the United States military deployed on the front lines confronting ISIS (http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/topic/unrest-conflicts-war/islamic-state-ORCIG000120-topic.html) or other terrorist threats. Suddenly you get a desperate phone call from home — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/topic/social-issues/u.s.-immigration-customs-enforcement-ORGOV0000136156-topic.html) has arrested your family and they’re facing deportation.[/size][/font]

Is this for real, or just someone's hyperventilation?

How can I avoid "TODAY' when people keep quoting from it. This is just one of their little heart rending stories that have no meaning in the real world.

It's suppository hypothetical. If the story is correct then it could happen. If the story is correct then the problem can probably be corrected with a directive.

Attempting to give a damn.......
Nope. How many illegals did Odoofus let in the military?

It is just Weird The Troll being a douche.

Yeppers, you can always count on Weird to bring you negative news; fake or not. Let's see, Trump defeated Hillary, is taking bids to build the wall, nominated a conservative justice, nominated a fairly conservative cabinet and is ramping up national security and intending to increase our military. Perhaps Trump Derangement Syndrome is settling in with him?

And planning to engage in protectionist economic policies worthy only of Bernie Sanders, starting a real nasty fight with one of our bigger trading partners over stupidities, and .... Trump ain't the God or Idol you make him out to be.

Sad that @mystery-ak allows stuff like that on her forum. At least ignore works.

She has given you a LOT of room to carry out your campaign in here. I would be careful about calling her out.

@mystery-ak
My campaign? I'm posting articles. Is GBR against personal attacks or not?

A bunch of whining crybaby little girl snowflakes who want to make GBR a trump safe space.
That's all you are.

So basically no on here can criticize Trump??

Hyperventilation- an excellent description of what we are seeing on the news each night. Everyone knows me as not being a big fan of Trump, but this over the top nightly attacks on what the administration is trying to get done is making me sick.

@pingtoyourmother
Word.
@Weird Tolkienish Figure
Last year time I saw such whiner douchebag "I'm telling MOM!" loser stuff as pinging mods to a thread was during the Trumpanzee Paid Troll takeover of RimJob's website.
What a total frikken LOSER.

Just the opposite. Much to the chagrin of some on both sides, this is a free site which means that pro and against and everything in between can post their opinions and put them up in the marketplace of ideas. They should just be ready to defend them. Even though some have demanded FR type censorship, the site's owner has chosen the path of freedom over singular orthodoxy.

You might want to at least try to get used to it. We're in for a very bumpy (and nauseating) four-year (at least) ride. And ...not getting any younger, I'm not sure my stomach can handle it 'this time'....lol.

Never was a thing. Just another trolling piece from the mind of the OP.

Agreed! If someone posts the article the article can be dissected, vivisected, torn apart. We will know what is being said, and we will have whatever rebuttal exists, well hashed over and sourced.
Attack someone who posts articles the rest of the world is reading, and no one will post them so we can tear them apart and we'll all have a nice, padded-cell echo chamber.
@don-o
Does @Weird Tolkienish Figure (or anyone else, for that matter except card carrying Trumpkins) have to post a disclaimer that: The opinions of the article author are the opinions of the author and not necessarily those of the poster who has provided them for entertainment/discussion purposes
?
Talk about snowflakes. If the article is bogus, attack that, attack the content, the lies, the author, the publishing source. Have at!
Be thankful someone provided it for your continued enjoyment and leave the poster out of it.

I like this site but there are a lot of crazy people who post here. I think they are beginning to drive the relatively sane people away or maybe it's just a post election slump.
But not nearly so many people are posting now.

I don't mind the slant of the articles being posted as much as I do the passive aggressive snarks aimed generally at those with whom the snarker disagrees.
But if someone wants to stain EVERY damn article with their bias then great. I don't think anyone here other than the handful of their fellow travelers take them seriously anyway.
