If you get arrested on a Friday for a warrant on outstanding traffic tickets, you will be taken into custody and held in jail for the weekend(for failure to appear or pay tickets when due)....if you have your children with you they will be placed with youth services if you have no one to take them....at least that's how it went for me in Mass. about 30 years ago.

I got arrested on Friday of Labor Day weekend and remained in jail until court convened on Tuesday...my son was 4 years old.....luckily I was in Mass visiting family and someone could come get him, or he would have been placed with Youth Services

Actually that happened in No. Randolph as I was pulling out of Eli and Chris's Shell station....Frank will know where that is


that is not what's happened with some of the children brought in illegally...they were taken and separated from their parents/families and sent to other detention facilities without adequate steps taken to identify them and the adults who they arrived with...as a result, there are more than 2,000 children who we are trying to identify and re-unite...these kids have no idea where their parents are and the parents have no idea where their kids are...

in your case, the govt. made a mistake in taking you into custody, but they fulfilled their humanitarian obligation to ensure the safety of your kids, even though you were a suspected criminal... your children were placed in a custodial and safe environment, and YOU KNEW where they were and they could have visited you while you were incarcerated...that responsibility remains today...when people are arrested, the state has to take some protective measures to ensure the safety of the arrestee's kids...and inform the arrestee...

as for the argument that some people entering the country illegally are bringing in some stranger's kids in order to game the system...only people who've never travelled long distances with their own kids, let alone someone else's kids, are saying that...

it's possible Eli and Chris were the original partners and the guy I called Chris is neither but is the 50/60ish son of one of the originals...but an Alexopoulis in any event.

Here's an article about false statements made regarding the Trump Administration's zero-tolerance policy that separated children from their families...just so we can have an actual debate with actual knowledge of the facts. Too often, we get our "facts" from a preferred cable opinion channel: Trump/Fox vs Dem/CNN

https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/more-bogus-border-claims/


When one compares the "news" from Fox and CNN, it becomes clear who has done a better job of factual reporting and who are the real purveyors of fake news...

besides, weather is getting nice, let's all go outside and take a walk, get some exercise instead of sitting at home getting outraged watching TV...

He's the President, so he should be a subject ...did you check the other subject matter out...

so your standard is that if a media site doesn't puff and fawn over Trump, they're putting out fake news...that's Trump's view of the media, and he's so believable...

look up "AllSides" and LMK whether you think their media bias ratings are accurate. They seem to be spot on with those that are well-known and mainstream and also extreme. Then check how they describe this source that you call "fake news".


I believe FOX News commentary/opinion is "fake news"...they have become Trump's vocal messaging source, and state as gospel truth whatever Trump says...much of what he says have been proven demonstrably false...

examples: Germany's crime rate caused by immigration... we're re-uniting immigrant children...immigrants are rapists and murderers, they're criminals...Russian investigation is a made up witch hunt...FBI and DOJ are biased, incompetent and out to get Trump...spygate, the biggest scandal in political history...the biggest middle class tax cut in history...the Seth Rich murder...Hillary's sales of x% to 100% of US plutonium to Russia...Obama wire-tapped Trump Tower...ad nauseam...

So Time used a photoshopped picture on a cover. Broke your little hearts.
Really?

Big flucking deal.

Where was your outrage when Tucker Carlson's The Daily Caller posted interviews with women who claimed NJ's Bob Menendez paid them for sex five days before the 2012 New Jersey senate election? Especially even after all the women admitted they'd been paid off, bout $300 a pop by the Daily Caller to lie about the sex. (Who never apologized, Time did)

Yeah, but a photoshopped photo. That's Unethical? Don't get it...

Fox has misinformed forever: it convinced its audience Iraq was involved in the 9/11attacks and had wmds, commandeering opinion, and all based on a bald-faced lie Fox's audience bought into much more than cnn's or cbs's did. Fox was relentless.

....vs. a photoshopped picture of a child on a cover. Seriously? The Humanity!?

Fox has its audience denying global warming despite the fact that 97% of scientists say it's real? .... photoshopped kid...

Sure, liberal, conservative and main stream (whatever that is these days, liberal also?) exaggerate and sometimes misinform, but a freaking doctored photo that encapsulated a very specific, heartfelt sentiment compared to some other lies we're actually impacted by?

Nah. It's a picture. Time made a dumb call. Not cancelling my subscription.

seems this "I gotta get ready for the on-coming civil war" on the right fever pops up every now and then... I really don't know if more cons believe this or libs believe this...be interesting to know...

my past experience has been that my con friends seemed more anxious and concerned about an imminent war of some kind: ie - race war between whites and blacks in the early 90's due to Rodney King and OJ riots; and the Apocalypse is here by my devout Christian con friends during the Iraq War, some openly hoping for Jesus's return after a nuclear holocaust...

I get being prepared, but my gosh...seems almost like wishful thinking for an excuse to go out and blast people you don't like or agree with...

I heard Al Gore wrote a book and made a movie about global warming that was full of lies and BS....

http://www.climatedepot.com/2017/03/30/al-gore-has-made-another-science-fiction-movie-about-global-warming/

A decade ago, Al Gore’s 2006 faux-umentary about climate change called “An Inconvenient Truth” won two Oscars. No, it wasn’t in the propaganda or fantasy category, though it should have been. It was filled with so many falsehoods that a British judge said it could not be shown to students unless it included a notice pointing out the errors.

Wtf does this have to do with anything?
Unless you think global warming is a myth and need to see Gore as a personification of the lefts lies and liars. Suit yourself.

You want to trade lies? Google Trump lies. Fox lies.

It was bad judgement to use that photoshopped photo. I've said that ad nauseum.

Regarding Gores case, civil court, it was brought by a school governor against the Secretary of State for Education, who was trying to stop the film from being distributed in UK schools.
Justice Burton ordered that teaching notes accompanying the film should be modified to clarify the speculative (and occasionally hyperbolic) presentation of some issues.

But Burton found no errors at all in the science. In his written judgement, the word error appears in quotes each time it is used – nine points formed the entirety of his judgement - indicating that he did not support the assertion the points were erroneous.

Gore made points that have subsequently been disputed and substantiated.
But Global Warming is real. But who gives a fluck, right?
The 97% of scientists that say it's man-made and happening must be in on the lie I guess? Pinkos.

But if you believe it and Time magazine says it's true, I guess it must be true Not talking

Probably doesn't matter to you but I just lost a lot of respect for you Rick.

Seriously...I'm wondering, why bother..seems like some sort of dialectic game for you..but it's just a stupid waste of time the way I see it..

You think Trump is a savior...I think he's malignant..you split hairs about Global Warming like it's a joke and cite the Daily Caller..I strongly believe global-warming is real, destroying our planet and should be apolitical and wonder if you even know who the Daily Caller is, their agenda..origins...and mission

so what's the point?

I read the Daily Caller. There are some really smart well-intentioned writers there.
I read Time.

Maybe you ought to break out of your bubble and get both sides of stories/issues once in a while.
Unless you just like to argue and hear yourself talk with us lefties.
In which case, like I said, I'm out.

Did you think that because I openly admitted to reading Time, and you and others in here clearly hate the magazine, you could win some brownie points with con cbiders?
Maybe even embarrass me?

Screw that.

Your last post is nonsensical and petty.

But I'm sure Donald would be proud.

I never said Trump was any kind of savior..... I read news from lots of sources, so I'm not really living in a bubble, just responding to your trading lies statement and the other statements you've made that I'm supposed to take your word for, you the guy who tells me it's no big deal that Time lied to me....it's only a pic yes, but the picture was a lie...or was it only a symbol of a lie....maybe your plan is working, I'm getting confused

I'm honestly not going for brownie points from anyone here on cbid...what's that going to get me??

I do see you telling me that Time can lie to me and it's no big deal....that it's not "fake news", but a symbol...well, the way I was brought up they flat out lied to me...fool me once shame on you, fool me twice....you know how it goes...

your right it's not worth it to try to change your mind...so carry on...

I find this kind of funny.

The truth is they didn't "flat out lie" to you.

It's a magazine cover with two figures photoshopped to be facing each other on a clearly non-real background.

Where is the lie?

The people running around claiming it's a lie are using the fact that this crying child in particular was not separated from it's parents. That doesn't make the cover a lie. you identify it as a lie, because that particular crying child is emblematic.

If they had drawn a child, you would not have called it a lie. Because there are crying children, and by not specifying a specific child, people's association with a particular incident disappears. The issue as a generality still exists.

If they had used an actor of some sort, you would have not had any reason to call it a lie... (I'm assuming you wouldn't)... as they would be purposefully dramatizing an existing issue for the cover.

They could have used any of the well known memes of crying children, completely unassociated with the current issue, and you would have understood their cover without having any reason to call it a lie....

So... I find it funny you would call this a lie....

I'd call it dumb. They could have done this a number of different ways without creating this issue... but they didn't. But to call it a lie is to show you don't really understand the point behind the cover. (I'll give you a hint... the cover was about a larger issue, which impacts many children... it isn't about one crying kid).
