There were 3 million people deported under President Obama. They weren't criminals. It didn't happen in just one place. There is no way of spinning it to make it sound OK.
The more you try to do that, the more you lose credibility & the more you make a human rights issue about politics.

What is happening at the border is worse under Trump, but it was horrific under Obama. Pretend it wasn't if you want to feel warm & fuzzy, but it's inaccurate.
This to me says everything.

Today on Rikers Island, a guard retaliated against people taking off their shirts due to the blazing NYC heat by turning off a fan.

People die in prisons and jails due to excessive heat. And due to deliberate cruelty and neglect by corrections officers.
Seth Donnelly, age 29, died of severe heat stroke in a Texas prison 3 weeks ago. His core body temperature was 106% at the time of his death; the outside temperature 100%. ktxs.com/news/local/pre…
Texas spent $7 million to fight a lawsuit that would require it to install air conditioners in its prisons. It recently settled - the cost of installing air conditioners is $4 million. At least 23 prisoners have died in Texas from heat stroke since 1998. texastribune.org/2018/08/29/tex…

Are we to believe that the crowd just spontaneously erupted in that chant? Please. Someone from the Trump campaign clearly prepped that crowd.
It's not even that he paused after it started. He paused waiting for it to begin. It was completely manufactured.
Spontaneous chants start quietly than build up steam. This was at full volume from the beginning.

And a spontaneous chant would have been something like "let them leave" not "send them back." It doesn't follow naturally from what he said. He intentionally stepped it up.

This is 100% true of the Democratic establishment. Joe Biden defended (& said he would continue) Obama era policies in the first Democratic debate.

It's 100% NOT TRUE of people outside the inner circle, who've been fighting the cruelty of breaking up families long before Trump.
Those of us who work in the criminal justice system saw first hand the devastating consequence these policies had on our clients long before Trump. Our clients would be taken into ICE custody at arraignments and disappear.
In many ways, what has happened now is that the problem has become more visible because the city no longer cooperates with ICE, so our clients do not disappear into ICE custody at arraignments, but are arrested on subsequent court dates.

One small step for man, a giant leap for mankind.
On this date in 1969, Apollo 11, landed on the Sea of Tranquility, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, followed by Buzz Aldrin, while the 3rd one Michael Collins was in the command module Columbia.
The awesome trio Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. Initially it was Jim Lovell, who was the Command Module Pilot, as Collins had a back problem. However Collins did recover back in time, and Lovell, became part of the back up crew.
The backup crew for Apollo 11 was
Jim Lovell- Led the ill fated Apollo 13 mission to the Moon, on which that movie was based.
William Anders- Took the iconic Earth Rise photograph
Fred Haise- Later became 6th person to land on moon.

#ClimateAlarmists ignore the fact that all of their propaganda efforts to scare people into submitting to expensive CO2 reduction schemes are having less than no restraining effect on the one & a half degrees of #GlobalWarming over the last two centuries.
vox.com/2015/5/15/8612…
Nothing being done now is having any effect on reducing CO2. We could help Nature do it the old fashioned way by planting a trillion trees. But that takes time.
#ClimateAlarmists prefer preventing the poorest people from trying to stay alive during winter.

Scientists are proving that active geothermal sources around the globe are causing most of the glacier melting & ocean warming. And more of that heat should be harnessed to benefit humanity, as has been done throughout human history.

“When Robert Mueller was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein as Independent Counsel to investigate Russian collusion with the Trump Campaign, he set about to find any dirt on Trump himself by picking the most vile team of Trump Haters he could muster.
He used every unethical method imaginable to force his victim witnesses like Paul Manafort and General Flynn to say Trump did something illegal or unethical, yet with all that, Trump came out vindicated.
“Let us not forget that Robert Mueller was FBI Director under President Obama, and that he served during the time the infamous Uranium One deal was made with Russia to secure 20% of all American Uranium.

Obama White House Counsel & Clinton's lawyer during the Impeachment process is indicted for lying to the FBI regarding his involvement with Paul Manafort! #ButNothingsHappening!
DC US Attorney Liu is one of a handful personally interviewed by President Trump for key spots involved in draining the Swamp. Others were Berman for SDNY & Huber in Utah!
Maybe folks will figure out what Mueller indicted Manafort now? Paying Craig, Weber & Podesta while illegally lobbying Obama & Biden!

OBAMA should be more mindful when accusing Trump about the press & leaks:

1. It is common knowledge among journalists that the #Obama administration has prosecuted more leakers under the 1917 Espionage Act than all former presidents combined. But few admit this truth.
2. The Committee to Protect Journalists released its first comprehensive report on US press freedom.

They discovered that the Obama administration’s policies have undermined the role of the press in three fundamental ways.
3. First, the government’s war on leaks has not only intimidated whistleblowers, it has ensnared journalists.

Obama Weaponized Our Intelligence Services
To Destroy @realDonaldTrump
While Going Around Congressional Oversight

1. The real story is not abt 'Trump & the Russians', but abt the Obama admn's illegal use of the intelligence apparatus to target political opponents
2. Intelligence information is housed by compartments within the larger intelligence community network.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitive…
Each intelligence unit holds intelligence unique to that compartment and task.
3. The FBI Counterintelligence unit would hold the intelligence info specific to their task or assignment; DOJ National Security Division wld hold their own compartmented intel; again, "specific to their task and objectives."

So too would the DoD (Pentagon), State Dept., or CIA.
