How da hell does this happen in America?
ALF replied to ExiledInIllinois's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Still more lack of common sense British holidaymakers 'traumatised' after arrest at US border A British couple say they have been detained in the US after accidentally crossing the border from Canada. David Connors, 30, and his wife Eileen, 24, say they are being held in Pennsylvania with their three-month-old baby and are "traumatised". They say were driving with relatives on 3 October when, to avoid an animal, they veered onto a small road. A police officer then pulled them over, told them they were in the US state of Washington and arrested them. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50050467 -

Bolton instructed former Russia adviser to alert NSC lawyer over Ukraine, adviser testifies The New York Times reported that during the meeting, Bolton got into a heated exchange with Gordon D. Sondland, the European Union ambassador. The paper reported that Sondland worked with Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer, to pressure the Ukrainians to investigate the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Hill reportedly said Bolton likened the former New York City mayor to a “hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up.” She said it appeared Giuliani was not working in coordination with the normal foreign policy channels when dealing with Ukraine. “I am not part of whatever drug deal Rudy and Mulvaney are cooking up,” Bolton reportedly told White House attorneys. The Washington Post reported that investigators are now considering calling Bolton to testify. Sondland is expected to testify later this week. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bolton-instructed-former-russia-adviser-to-talk-to-nsc-lawyer-over-ukraine

A massive mastiff had to be rescued after getting exhausted on a mountain hike The rescue team was called around 6:30 p.m. after other hikers passed Floyd on the trail and saw his owner needed help. The 3-year-old dog wouldn't budge and temperatures in the area were quickly dropping, according to police . "The team is completely volunteer," Sgt. Melody Gray of the Unified Police Department, which works with the sheriff's search and rescue team, told CNN. "They had no hesitation whatsoever, even when they heard it was a dog." https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/14/us/mastiff-rescue-utah-trnd/index.html Some good news for a change

Cities will get sued big time until police have the right training when this happens. When they fail proper training they have to be fired. -

About 950 ISIS-connected foreigners (relatives) managed to leave the camp, located in Ain Eissa, roughly 20 miles south of the border, after detainees apparently attacked the camp's guards and gates and fled, the Kurdish-led administration said in a statement. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in Britain, said Turkish warplanes struck villages near the camp on Sunday. https://www.foxnews.com/world/syria-isis-supporters-escape-camp-kurds

Will the air and water quality be better after Trump leaves office then before he was elected ?

Are you insinuating that I'm not in the COT (cult of trump) ? Will the air and water quality be better after Trump leaves office then before he was elected ? Honest question

If I were a Environmental Scientist I might be able to answer those valid questions, but I'm not. It's a long article with a link to every item. It's a general take FWIW

Read the article and decide for yourself.

I don't believe anyone here supports making our air and water dirtier. I just don't see much resistance to the administration for 85 Environmental Rules being rolled back under Trump that affect clean air and water. Opinion is one thing , facts are important.

They gambled and stayed where they are . I hope Iraqi Kurdistan has enough room for them. Turkey wants to send back most of Syria refugees to displace the Kurds. This is going to be expensive to say the least.
