All ready convicted of perjury. Go after him again?

In other news Dems making it easier for Trump in 2020.

Nancy Pelosi signals support for slavery reparations.

If they can just keep this up for another 18 months as most people have such short memories.
Is his conviction for 1 count of lying for the FBI investigators or in front of the congress? He should be convicted for each count of lying under oath.
A sentence of 3 yrs only? He should get like 10 yrs minimum.

Trump has to stop self-inflicted wounds. Too many mayhem is going on in the west wing.

Members of the Donald Trump transition team, possibly including Trump himself, were under surveillance during the Obama administration following November's election, House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes told reporters Wednesday.
Incidental, and legal, of course.
Whom they contacted were under surveillance. And under the Patriot act, if you were the dragged by the net, why are you swimming with those who are in the net?

Interesting that a bill would be required to switch NASA's mission from climate change research and helping Muslims have a better self image to space exploration.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science ... -good.html
Space exploration is waste of money and time:
NSA should have the following priorities
1) Explore and Defense Against Asteroids
2) Weather Forecasting and Monitoring (NOAA)
3) Keep the access to the space assured to US
4) Protect the Space Assets
5) Keep, maintain the and enhance the space Assets

Some more interesting history. Lebanon has not conducted census since 1932. It also appears there is very little information maintained on their citizens and they really do not know who is there and who isn't.
1) Unknown to me, but I assume few
2) Unknown, but I think the number is in hundreds
3) Yes
4) Yes

Oh, BTW, on the news recently, we had Israeli Arab-Christian visiting Lebanon (pilgrimage) using temporary Palestinian-issued Passport.

You are correct but Assad is not trying to flee to our country. My point in bringing up that there are only 9 Jews left in Syria is that these people may not be that great to let in here. Bad enough we let Nazi's come in after WWII but these people have proven their anti-Semitic and anti-Christian behavior in the past, they actually are the present ISIS and do we really need a bunch of anti-Christian and anti-Jews coming in here? We have no legal obligation to bring them in. It is terrible seeing their children in the videos that the media portrays but is it a benefit to us to let them in? Aren't their children also doing the beheadings of Christians ( No Jews are left)? Perhaps Saudi Arabia will open their doors-ha. I personally support Trumps ban and it is one of the themes of his election.
Small History Lesson 101: after the declaration of the Sate of Israel, not a single Jew was forced to leave any Arab or Muslim Country. As a matter of fact, the State of Israel, was offering immediate Citizenship for any Jew worldwide with 0 time residency requirement in the disputed land of Palestine. In addition, hundreds thousands of Jews from the Arab countries were transported to the declared stated with all costs paid.

In addition, till date there are hundred thousands of Jews still living in Arab countries such as Morocco or elsewhere in the Arab and the Muslim world. I do still remember in the neighborhood where I grew up we had Jewish cemetery, and till date there are hundreds of Jewish Lebanese Citizens who never wanted to immigrate to declared state of Israel.

I travel the world over, on a regular basis. I often have ~30 international trips per year. Some are great locations: Singapore, Thailand, Oman, Italy; and others remind you of every Jason Bourne movie you've ever seen: Kazakhstan, Russia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nigeria.

One thing that EVERY one of these countries has in common is that you need to check in with immigration and customs whether you're coming or going. That way, they make sure that a person who is in-country temporarily actually leaves when they are supposed to. If that person doesn't leave, at least they're on a list somewhere of people who've overstayed and are subject to removal (or worse).

The US has no idea who overstays their visa, because there is no mechanism for checking when someone leaves. I hope President Trump can implement this at all our international points of entry / exit.
No they do. All travelers on commercial vehicles (air and sea) (exiting US) manifesto are delivered to DHS. So if a name is not on the list, he is still in the ole USA.

I have no problem with Trump's ban on certain populations.
Christians have always been protected by minority ruling Assad regime. less than 12% were ruling the other 78%.

Wonder why previous true fascist regime was working so hard to help the "rebels" overthrow one leader who has been protecting Syrian Christians....

Don't believe the media. I suspect this effects far fewer than they portray. Liberals just love to have a cause to rally around. They are masters at overblowing issues.
I was in your boat until people with green cards were detained or denied entry at airports.
Properly vetting process under any administration is valid and legal. We are living in in the land of law, not favoritism. One cannot get a permanent residency in US so easily, it takes more than 2-yrs.
