Read EVERYTHING that Justice Jones writes! He is obviously informed, enlightened, ethical and entertaining. I was a proud member of the Jim Jones Republican party in Idaho until Gingrich weaponized it,dark money corrupted it, and Trump obliterated all traces of it.

It’s no surprise that trump has no respect for servicemen and women or their families.

First of all, he weaseled out of serving in the military. Second, he doesn’t have any knowledge of or interest in the importance of familial support - especially when it comes to his wives. To trump, they’re just as disposable as Kleenex.

Trump is nothing more than the “Commander-in-Cheat”. And for that, he gets no respect from me.

It’s not solely that he has no respect for the men and women in our military. He disrespected General John Kelly’s son and thousands of other soldiers lying in graves in Arlington National Cemetery. He also told Americans that he didn’t think highly of John McCain, calling him a loser for having been captured. Senator John McCain was held prisoner in North Vietnam Nam for 5 1/2 years, giving up his opportunity of an early release that was offered because of his father‘s rank of Admiral.

It’s disgusting that this same man is Commander-in-Chief!

Yes. trump’s remark about McCain was, “I prefer ones that don’t get captured.” Jerk.

At General Kelly’s son’s grave, trump asked, “What was in it for him?” A clueless, clumsy, grossly insensitive remark from a blockhead who only views the world by what he can gain from it.

Heartbreaking and completely unjustified.

Simple solution is to remove any and all service members who have children or obtain a spouse that is not a US Citizen. I have zero sympathy to any American to include service members who get themselves in a situation like this.

They didn't try every avenue or she would have applied for citizenship.

Since you seem to be informed on the topic, perhaps you can outline for the rest of us what the path to citizenship for someone in Alejandra's position looks like?

For many, the path to citizenship can be a decade or more long.

In recent days, immigrants who are applying legally and appearing on time at their court appointments are being met at courthouses and illegally kidnapped by ICE - while in the process of trying to immigrate.

This is just disgraceful.

I'm aware of the roadblocks - my comment was playful goading at the MAGAhead above ;)

I know. I chuckled when I read it. I hope you don’t mind me jumping in with some facts that he was unaware of.

Always in support of the facts!

Or maybe she did, but was thwarted by the roadblocks trump threw in the path of immigrants, such as firing most of the immigration judges, which resulted in years long backups in filing and paperwork. Then there’s the required phone check-ins from the immigrants stuck at the border. Hours of calling and calling, just to try to connect with a human, only to have the line go dead.

Just cruelty upon cruelty.
