    Maybe by now. They have been forced to take it up. But to begin with it was being totally ignored. Pick up your flag, and reset the clock.

    Birther king Trump is always right with his supporters. :rolleyes:

    Maybe people feel that if an admitted *****-grabber and peeping tom can become POTUS, sexual deviance and crimes are not taken seriously here.

    It was covered WELL (and well enough) as soon as it happened.

    The idea that "it wasn't covered" was just delusional RW Fever Swamp BS.

    What were the Trumpbots expecting?

    Wall to wall coverage like 9/11?

    It wasn't covered?:roflol:

    Give me a break.

    Why do you believe that this story should get more coverage? What benefit do you see out of increased media coverage?

    Did you know that a black man was killed by a White Supremacist in New York four days ago?

    So you are looking for more coverage of a tragic event so that it will spur more political support for the President? And how does Trump's unconstitutional muslim ban affect this situation in the slightest?

    It's not a Muslim ban, nor unconstitutional.

    Read what? The ban? I know that it doesn't say the word muslim, but there can be very little doubt that this is the actual policy result from the policy proposal that Trump made. In other words, while this facially neutral law may or may not have a discriminatory effect, it does have a discriminatory intent. And that makes the order unconstitutional and it is why Trump has lost twice in the courts.

    And if you have to say "clearly," then your argument is probably not very clear.

    So then your referring to it as a Muslim ban, or unconstitutional is dishonest because it is neither. Whatever discriminatory attempt you see is your own projection and not factual.

    You are simply wrong. You hate Trump, so you hate his policy. That is the limit of your thinking.

    Puts pressure on local school boards to revise policies about illegal immigrants.

    I posted a video of Donald Trump calling for a Muslim Ban. Donald Trump's website still includes a call for a Muslim Ban. Why do you think I am merely projecting a discriminatory intent?

    And yes, I hate this policy. It is an incredibly ignorant policy that does a significant amount of harm in order to address a problem that does not exist. The fact that it is the implementation of a discriminatory policy is just part of the grounds for why it is unconstitutional.

    This actually makes a small amount of sense, but I wonder whether the school boards would be persuaded by an increased media coverage of a brutal and singular event when the statistics bear out that illegal immigrants are less likely to engage in illegal behavior when compared to the native population.

    It is not a Muslim ban, no wording of that at all. Therefore it's not unconstitutional. It's objectively within his power as president. You just hate him, therefore his policy.

    Let me try and get you to address a situation which would illustrate my point.

    If I told you that I want to pass a law that prevents Black Americans in my county from using the Public Library and then I pass a law which does prevent Black Americans in my county from using the Public Library. However, the law does not mention the phrase "Black Americans" at all. Do you think that law is constitutionally valid?

    Of course they will. Media coverage trumps bogus statistics every time.

    The lawyer for one of the perps said it was consensual.

    If that were my daughter, they wouldn't need to deport these little bastards.

    The culture of people who live to the south of the US is quite different as far as child rape. It's part of that machismo thing.

    You found evidence on the internet that ABC, NBC, or CBS covered this tragedy on their evening news broadcasts. Show me!

    Is this incident worse because the two perpetrators were illegals, then this one?

    Gang rape of 15-year-old girl streamed live on Facebook: reports
    It appears that these perpetrators were Americans known in the community.
    Seems we have Americans who are the rapists and terrorist.

    You have proof that they didn't? You do realize that most news organization follow their printed stories with broadcasts, right? This isn't the 1950s for ****'s sake.
