@JayHawkFanToo Sessions enacted a zero tolerance policy leading to 2342 children being separated in one months time this summer. Under Obama only 21% of apprehended adults were referred for prosecution. It's generally assumed that most in not all apprehended parents with child were part of the 79% , but the onus of proof is on you to show otherwise. Show me one legit source that tells you a number of how many parents were separated from child under Obama.

@DoubleDD Obama didn't separate children from their parents with no means of reuniting them.
And yes, I do think people from other countries should be able to walk in whenever they want unless there is a compelling reason they should not be allowed to do so. I'm a globalist.
In case of permanent immigrants, if they present a problem of some sort I'm all for finding a rational solution. If they stay here permanently but aren't paying taxes, let's make them pay taxes. If they are flooding the schools let's find a way of fixing the schools. If we want to limit their opportunity here let's go after the employers. There are sane ways to go about this. But we aren't doing it. We are playing on people's resentment and fears in election season but not really coming up with a logical approach to handling problems
@JayHawkFanToo well said!
I didn't move it but moving it was the right call. This woman is a conservative hitman.
@mayjay In this sentence I would definitely enforce extra commas, so that the natural pauses are evident to the reader.
Second, the writer by not making decisions about when to follow rules can ensure the greatest chance that the intent of the writer in the passage will be understood by the reader provided everyone uses the common rules.
This should read:

Is there a word for someone who cares only how the sentence sounds when spoken aloud? I tried to google potential word candidates but only found sexual fetishes, ex "auralist". Anyway, I'd be in that group. Sorry I'm trolling you man :) I find it fun to nitpick people's grammar when they bring up a preference for proper grammar. It's just an obligatory trolling. I hope you guys understand!
I think your logic is pretty sound, for what it's worth :) But I intend to be an "auralist" none-the-less.
I only care about punctuation when the meaning is uncertain without it. I was an English major two decades ago, but now some grammatically correct syntax feels stuffy. I see you used "I, too," @bcjayhawk. To me, the commas there feel unnecessary, even if grammatically correct. Who has time for superfluous commas in the 2010s? I'd never pause twice when talking to someone and saying that sentence out loud, so why create the two pauses via commas there? Nothing seems lost without them.
Just my opinion. :)
He's either proxying, or in Germany.
Well I love the smell of napalm on a Friday afternoon. I still feel bad for banning @loyolstud88 . As long as this guy is civil, I'd be happy to hear his thoughts.
@JayHawkFanToo It seems like a chicken and egg scenario if you take the Constitution literally. If they're birthright citizens, then they're subject to the jurisdiction of the US, if they're not, then they're not. But at the time of birth, they're neither subject to it nor not subject to it.
Doesn't this ambiguity stem from states not having consistent rules at the time of the Constitution, regarding birthright citizenship?
United States v. Wong Kim Ark is established federal law that addressed how to interpret that exact phrase "subject to the jurisdiction of".
The concept of birthright citizenship wasn't invented in the United States. Jus soli (right of the soil) was English common law and Roman law before that (thank you, wikipedia).
@BShark nice gif. Learn so much from body language.

Just 30 seconds later, as Swisher asked:
"what do you think of Cory Booker... saying ‘kick them in the shins,’ essentially...” incorrectly recalling Eric Holder's recent comments.
Which Clinton quickly corrected:
“Well that was Eric Holder..."
Adding, rather extraordinarily,
"Yeah, I know they all look alike,” Clinton joked, triggering howls of laughter from the apparently mind-numbed audience.
Sorry Hillary, we don't think they look anything alike? Or did u mean all black people?
I think you're missing the point here. She's joking about the meme that white people can't tell black people apart. Which is callous, maybe even racist toward white people, but it's pretty clear she does not in fact think that all black people look alike.
She does have a habit of running her mouth in ways that provide soundbyte fodder for the conservative hit media. Nice work, Hillary!
See @DoubleDD, @JayHawkFanToo is illustrating why the conclusion Candace Owen draws (or the opinion of the special interest groups that pay her) is faulty. Hypersensitivity is not a conservative or liberal thing. It is a symptom of the digital age age.
@Blown I know! Hoping he's well and comes back fired up for basketball season.

@Kcmatt7 Umm unfortunately that was from a year ago :(
@JayHawkFanToo Regarding Shep Smith, I'm getting the sense that he's kind of an idiot? Sure, he attacks Trump, but probably poorly? Maybe I'm wrong.
You should try John Oliver. You'd love him.
@JayHawkFanToo I did not disagree that it was a stupid, possibly racist statement. Trump would never say something like that, because he doesn't have a firm enough grasp of current memes that didn't originate out of his own mouth, so your postulation is too hypothetical.

Hmm they just showed a clip of KJ talking to Self on the sideline. KJ was very attentive, engaged and animated communicating with Self. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it's mostly nerves.
Keegan's last article?
This is the first I've seen Mccormack interviewed. Seems like a good kid.
@wissox Yeah Lagerald settled us down, was it 5 threes?, and Moore was on the floor when we settled down as well. Also, Doke 5/6 from foul line.
@wissox First 25 minutes were total garbage. Then we snapped out of it.
DMac with 7 rebs eh.
@jayballer73 Yeah the passing game was just awful for about 2/3 of the game.

Look at all these weird fans behind the announcers.
thats not a TV thats a mirror!

YOU GUYS DOKE WAS 5/6 FROM THE LINE.
and 6/6 frm the field!
@KirkIsMyHinrich Agreed. I could see Moore getting it over Dotson though.
@DanR ok! we'll see, I think he gets obligatory minutes, even if its like 2 minutes. I hope you're right.
@DanR you think he's not gonna see the floor against Sparty?
Do you guys think this team will have bad chemistry? Will KJ lose his minutes and be disgruntled? Or will he play undeservedly and piss others off? Will Self have a players meeting to discuss who should be playing?
What was promised to KJ, and what was told to Agbaji...
@Kcmatt7 He did get jerked around a bit in the league despite being very talented. I didn't really get that why teams moved him. Rather have him than Ibaka. Rather have him than PG13.
@DanR He's got a bit of nasty in him that needs to be unleashed.

Too bad Philly drafted Fultz instead of Tatum
ALL TIME DRAFT FUCK UP
Well, forgetting how to shoot your shot is really weird. Who does that? Drafting Anthony Bennett over Oladipo is imho the worst in recent memory.
Lonzo and Fox would have been better too, if they wanted a PG
KJ Henry, I mean CJ Lawson is a scrub.
Heartbeat of this game is now regular.
lol at Doke making the air-shooting motion where hes got his shooting hand completely sideways.
THERE is is Udoka, dribble with authority out of the double team, find the open man. That calm your nerves a bit about regression?
Brett Ballard, you tear em a new one bud :)
I'm feeling Moore and Vick right now.
Where is our frigging touch on the passes. I can pass better than this any day.
I was ABOUT to say good d by moore.
I dont think Agbaji is redshirting.
Self is disappointed
Vick loves kicks!
@Kcmatt7 yeah... Sample size grows KJ remains butt....
That is why Senior Vick matters
This Washburn team really has my son worried
Hope Self has fun with this game tape
Lord this is ugly
