My friends aren't crazy liberals. But the last few hot guys that I've met are. I don't discuss politics IRL, but if you want to piss me off, mention gun control. I just show them my pretty little CC card that I keep in my wallet.

You must be pretty young. Cause in my experience most young ppl are liberal until they have to start working and experience the real world they become conservative.

unfortunately I do. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and will give my opinion at the drop of a hat.

What baffles me about the gun control crowd is that there are plenty of gun laws on the books, more won't solve any perceived problems. What needs to happen is more gun education. A gun is nothing more than a tool. It takes someone to pull the trigger. People are the problem not guns.

If I'm a candidate for President, I'd run on getting that guy home, like Reagan did with the Iranian hostages...Oh they knew to put them on a plane back to the US ASAP...

I never bring it up. But if they do, they will hear my opinion.

They're stupid.
When someone starts the bullshite about how people shouldn't be allowed to CC, I promptly tell them why I do. I won't get into it on here, but I have a damn good reason for carrying a gun with me everywhere I go that isn't a gun free zone. I sleep with the motherfricker under my pillow. If someone has a problem with that, they can eat a dick. I don't care if my gun offends anyone. I really don't.

Screw Mexican law. They have ZERO respect for ours and are actively assisting those that are breaking it daily. You can shove that Mexican Law stuff sideways into your spit valve.

I think that only works if you're coming from the USA. He was coming from inside Mexico when he made his "declaration" - a bit too late then. He should have bribed the customs officials when they asked for a bribe.

You're so completely wrong.
Just shut up, please.

I used to care, but the older I get the less I do. Its ridiculous them liberal hacks are quick to tell you what they think and your supposed to accept them and their politics. But if you don't believe what they do then your Racists or a homophobic or want poor people to die etc, etc.

On the prisoner thing. Should get a new lawyer, plead that he is a domestic U.S. terrorist (reason for the guns), will be back in the states within a couple of days. Get back home, go to trial and make the U.S. prove their case(which wouldn't happen), then turn him loose.

I'm more surprised of the Gaza Israel conflict being moved to the back of the paper.

This is the latest we have from the State Dept - August 5th:
"QUESTION: On Sergeant Tahmooressi’s trial ongoing. During the trial, there’s not a single member of the public or the media that’s been allowed into the briefing room. Does the United States Government have an issue with that?
MS. PSAKI: Well, let me first see if I can give you just a brief update while I have the opportunity. A consular officer attended Mr. Tahmooressi’s August 4th hearing. They have – consular officers have visited him 22 – 20 times, sorry, since his arrest on March 31st. Four witnesses testified yesterday, two customs officials and two military officials. There are no more hearings currently scheduled.
Broadly speaking, Lucas, while in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject to the country’s laws. We believe that he is being afforded all appropriate due process. We’d point you and refer you to the Mexican authorities for more information about why the court proceedings are not open to the public.
QUESTION: So you think he’s getting a fair trial?
MS. PSAKI: Again, I think we just said we believe he’s being afforded due process. This is obviously a case and his well-being is certainly of great concern to the United States, and that’s why we’ve had consular officials meet – visit him 20 times.
QUESTION: But for an Administration that lauds the idea of transparency, would you say that this trial is an example of that kind of transparency?
MS. PSAKI: Well, I think different laws are made in different countries about how they’re going to handle court proceedings as well.
QUESTION: But you’re defending the Mexican Government, but wouldn’t you like to see his own mother, for instance, be allowed into the courtroom to see due process, to see this trial take place? Is that not unreasonable?
MS. PSAKI: I think, Lucas, if we weren’t as concerned as we are about his wellbeing and if we weren’t as committed to making sure we provide as extensive services as we can, we wouldn’t have visited 20 – him 20 times over the course of the last few months.
QUESTION: But besides the visits, I mean, couldn’t – since Mexico is an ally of the United States, couldn’t you tell the government, we’d like to see the courtroom open to the public, or at least his family or a few cameras?
MS. PSAKI: I think we’ve raised this issue where appropriate, including at the Secretary’s level, and obviously, we’ll continue to be engaged in the case."

Its ridiculous that this has dragged on this long. Its time to just tell the Messican government they have to 24 hours to have him brought to the border and released into U.S. custody. If not we will start bombing oil fields.

That was a lot of babble from her with no answers, really.
So, he just stays in the Messican jail?
I also find it interesting that no one is being allowed in the courtroom.
Thanks for posting that.
