This is akin to blaming any elementary school or kindergarten for the future crimes or poor decisions of the kids who went through them. 

No, it's more akin to an elementary school or kindergarten being in operation for the purpose of bilking the life savings of their kids' parents

Why do they have these people pitching the first ball? 

It's called a "ceremonial first pitch"

The practice of having ceremonial first pitches dates back to at least 1890

Sports is full of such "ceremonial" things...such as the national anthem being played..."the seventh inning stretch" where people are encouraged to get out of their seats for a stretch, "the ceremonial puck drop" in hockey...etc...etc...etc..

There's more to the entertainment of professional sports than the actual game...it adds to the "festive" atmosphere of the occassion

Article 20 of the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion

It doesn't guarantee the freedom to scam people out of their life savings in a mass organised fashion

Once again the warmongering of US military industrial complex, the same one that President Dwight Eisenhower warned against in 1961, trying to Once again the warmongering of US military industrial complex, the same one that President Dwight Eisenhower warned against in 1961, trying to destabilize another area, supporting the ICJ criminal buddy, Benjamin Netanyahu, supporting the ICJ criminal buddy, Benjamin Netanyahu

I'm more concerned with European politicians like Starmer committing to "boots on the ground and support from the air"...meaning Europe entering a war against Russia...and basically the beginning of WW3

trying to destabilize another area,

Prey tell...when exactly has the Middle East been "stable"

And the Houthis vow to keep hitting ships until the genocide stops.

So...expect more "dead Yemeni children and merchant marines" I guess...

If you reach a point where you think killing children is the only way to deal with something

"killing children" is hardly "the way" I'm suggesting to respond to the continued missile attacks coming from Yemen...another wild swing and miss from idiotrex

The dead children are an unfortunate consequence of the Houtis military aggression of attacking American war ships...and terrorising international shipping lanes.

They are not "the way" to stop the attacks.

Amazing - let's look at what the key issues our MAGA-friends said they voted for - and what they GOT...

After a little over a month in office...and having to clean up the fiasco left behind by the previous administration

Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi said on Sunday that his militants would target U.S. ships in the Red Sea as long as the U.S. continues its attacks on Yemen. "If they continue their aggression, we will continue the escalation," he said in a televised speech.

Houti leader wants to continue the conflict they've started...despite "dead Yemeni children" as a consequence

dead Yemeni children have been killed as a result of Houtis reckless aggression in attacking international shipping lanes (merchant mariners are people too...they have kids who rely on them to live) and American war vessels...at which they've fired over 175 missiles...prior to America's retaliation.

There are many ways of dealing with the Houtis WITHOUT killing children.

Such as...

I'm sure the dead kids feel really at peace, yeah.

So...allow the Houtis to bomb international shipping lanes at will?

Maybe they could politely ask them to stop?

Or perhaps giving in to terrorism is an option? I'm sure that won't result in future terrorsim...in which dead kids would result.

The root cause of conflicts in the middle east is the continued OCCUPATION of Palestine

The Jewish people are indigenous to their homeland. The land gained in the 6 day war was a result of Egypt's aggression and Israel pushing back...and gaining territory that was previously part of Egypt...not "Palestine"...which never existed as a nation

How many missiles is that going to cost? How come infinite monies are spent for Israel but none for Ukraine?

Two things...The Houtis are attacking ships from a wide number of nations, including US war vessels

Also:

To date, the US has provided $66.5 billion in military assistance since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and approximately $69.2 billion in military assistance since Russia's initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

none for Ukraine

Say what?!!

frustration...illness...desperation?

Hey, why wouldn't you add the actual numbers of the poll?? Ah yes: because they're still really bad. 47% approval, 51% disapproval.

The only poll that matters is the nation-wide poll held November 5, 2024

No need to imagine anything, I already provided an example where lawyers with names and credentials demonstrate this is clearly happening, 

Have those lawyers with names and credentials presented the authorities with the documentation that proves those people were in the US legally?

Yes? Then they wouldn't have been deported would they?

No?

Then wtf are you on about?

The facts certainly prove their ubiquitous at all of Trump's properties....because he can pay them less...

All of Trump's properties and more...throughout the entire country...i.e. an open door lawless nation concerning immigration

Yes...that's why people hire undocumented immigrants...they can pay them less...isn't that great?! Now, you can have maids, gardeners, fruit pickers and factory workers working at slave wages to keep your homes, gardens and factories running smoothly...China would approve! Ask The Uyghurs

When people are not given the right to present those documents then your argument completely fails

You have to imagine that they weren't given the opportunity to present documents to have THAT argument

The question was: "Do you believe they are gang members?"

Yes...and if there were some that weren't...they had no documents to prove they were in the US legally. I have documents to prove I'm in Japan legally...do you?

Isn't authoritarianism great?

Do you need a passport to enter Japan?

Isn't authoritarianism great!!!

What's stopping you getting picked up mistakenly as member of the gang?

Identification...driver's license, birth certificate, visa...

We're all foreigners from a land we don't even come from. We've all migrated from somewhere, Africa, or Europe, etc. Even the Yamato Japanese have certainly migrated from China or of somewhere North.

So unfettered immigration? Why even have countries? Oh...I know why, because each country has its own culture, laws and customs that people have established over generations. When people come from other countries with conflicting views and beliefs conflict arises...the social discord in Europe, the Middle East and North America serve as examples. Japan's homogenous population and culture is something unique and precious...to the Japanese, whose country it is to decide whether or not replacing Japanese with foreigners to address birthrate declines is up to them. I don't think "saving Japan" by replacing the Japanese is in their best interest and making Japan, no longer Japanese is the desired goal...of the Japanese

 The 45-year-old immigrant from Guatemala worked for more than five years as a housekeeper at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. She is also undocumented. Morales washed Trump’s clothes, made his bed, and scrubbed toilets at the private villa where he stays.

Thanks for outlining a maid’s duties

How many Hispanic people live in Florida? It’s hardly surprising that one would end up in Trump’s’ employ now is it?

That she was an illegal alien highlights the issue of how ingrained undocumented workers are.

European and North Americans are a small group of 85,000 residents.

So what?

They were all hired as maides, butlers, groundskeepers, and construction workers at MAL, Bedminster, Westchester, and Trump Tower

Do you imagine that Trump is hands on in hiring each and every one of his 25,000 employees?

This is what the Trump administration is saying, yes. Do you believe them?

Yes, I believe they have no proof of American citizenship nor a visa.

If they had, they wouldn’t have been deported

Asylum seekers don't have either and are not illegal.

Asylum seekers enter the country through the port of entry where they APPLY for asylum

To seek asylum in the US, you must be physically present in the US or at a port of entry, and demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion if returned to your home country.

These are gang members being deported, not asylum seekers

No evidence that they have no visa or citizenship.

Not having a visa or proof of citizenship is evidence of not having a visa or proof of citizenship

Maga looking at El Salvador as a role model. Heh.

Have a look at the reduction in gang violence in El Salvador...

A good model to follow

The new US: lawless country and ex-"leader" of the free world. What a great again country you have.

Under U.S. law, illegal entry, as defined by 8 U.S.C. § 1325, is a crime, punishable by fines and imprisonment, with harsher penalties for subsequent offenses and for illegal re-entry.

MAGA would only say that the ends justify the means - so much for the rule of law. What would the GOP and trump say if Obama did this? Exactly.
