NY Times Blames Obama For Trump’s Immigration Horribleness w/Abby Martin

Look, I have to be honest regarding some of the statements made by Trump
-whether or not he is just playing to that part of his fringe base, and notwithstanding the ridiculousness of the so called 'Border Wall' and all - that too many of the people that are coming here illegally ARE (unfortunately) bad people. I know this for a fact myself. (For reasons that I am just not going to get into here). MS-13 is just one example - as to the fact that there must obviously be a problem - for these amimals to be thriving here in this country to begin with. Right? Duh!
However, with that said, I do believe in the Asylum rule myself - which is in relation to decent, law abiding individuals, who may be fleeing their country, ironically, for possibly those very same reasons! And despite Trump's executive order (which I do applaud him for), it DOES seem like his administration has still sorta' like taken the whole matter to another level, with the recent ruling by his attorney general Jeff Sessions for instance - that 'victims of domestic, gang violence generally wont qualify for asylum'! As reported for example in The Washington Post.
Never-the-less, I do also agree with what Jimmy Dore and Abby Martin are also saying in this video regarding the hypocrisy - that brought us to this point in the first place.
But, I also agree with those on the other side of the fence (whether sincere in what they say or not - to possibly get conservative votes for example) that we got a problem that has gotten WAY out of control for WAY too long. I agree, because I have my own mind. (And am my own person). Both sides are right, regardless of their possible motives.
The truth is the truth, whether you acknowledge it as the truth or not.
But I also DEFINITELY agree with those who say that innocent children should not be used as bargaining chips either - as unfortunately is all too often the case - where they become the innocent victims of a mess that was created by adults in power, who should know better, and who may not have done the right thing to begin with...
Just FREAKIN' prosecute the bad guys, and send them back to where they came from, or put them in prison, and help those who really need it, and everything should be fine right? Not with our county it seems. Because we have WAY too much corruption ourselves. (And that, ironically, is what very well may make it even that much more attractive to the bad guys to begin with). Damn, what a country. Enough said.
Except for one more thing. Remember what I said, (I think it was on my Google+ profile), about "the pot calling the kettle black"? That is EXACTLY what we are seeing going on right now. And in more ways then one. (Just as I had predicted). As has been the case for quite some time now. (And even as we had seen and heard in the 2016 presidential debates for example). There is a reason for that. And a big indication that the system itself (including the two party political system, as it primarily stands right now) is broken. And (as in the brilliant words of Abraham Lincoln himself), "a nation divided against itself cannot stand." Sad. Not to even mention the mass shootings we now have in this country on a regular basis. I mean, anybody with half a brain has got to realize that something is seriously wrong. Don't want to beat a dead horse, so I am not even going to get into all that here. But we are at a point now, where we are at the true measure of a nation, and a people. Take it for what its worth. Too deep...

And as we now begin to enter another July 4th/Independence Day holiday season, (with my own birthday falling under the astrological sign of Cancer as well), this song seems to come to mind - with its somewhat hopeful and comforting message...

Abby Martin Blasts Rachel Maddow for 9/11 Comments | Weapons of Mass Dis...

Just had to share this great (needed to be said) commentary by Abby Martin, which I just recently came across on YouTube, and which (much to my surprise) sorta' like expresses my own opinion as well...
I definitely agree with Abby on this one, as much as I also still kinda' like and respect Rachel Maddow myself. Her show has definitely changed in allot of ways from when it first started some time ago already. (See some of my previous posts on this Blog for instance).
I also remember being quite shocked when I first heard some of Rachel's comments, in relation to what Abby Martin discusses in the following video commentary, as well... 
And when you look at it objectively, it is most likely in relation to the fact that MSNBC has also considerably changed over the years. And the reasons are, probably because, they are basically a 'Mainstream', (Pro-Establishment), Corporate Media cable news channel to begin with, really not much different then Fox News and CNN in that regard for example; and have pretty much become somewhat more similar to them over the years, most likely because of who their biggest (corporate) sponsors and subsequently, who most of their political pundits now are. (If this wasn't the case, I would have probably been in the news a long time ago man; just from some of the incredible things that I have somewhat reluctantly exposed and shared on my website for example, regarding some of my experiences and revelations in relation to living in the area where the feds initially traced the source of the anthrax attacks for instance. Although, I GUARANTEE many of the pundits and news anchors are already aware of the things that I have exposed regarding this bizarre crime, and probably for more reasons then one; just from some of the disturbing things that I have heard from some of these same pundits and news anchors alone. Including Rachel Maddow! Much to my own astonishment. Therefore, some of her "crazy conspiracy theorist" comments). And most likely, the reason why Chris Hayes dropped the ball on the story about the "Rainy Day Funds" thing for example, and why you never heard any additional news reports about that (potential bombshell) subject anymore, as they increasingly steer away from the 'real' issues that effect all of us; because of who is REALLY pulling their strings. (See my May 14th, 2013 blog post). Everything is relative...
Hence, that is also probably why other (Progressive) anchors like Keith Olberman, Cenk Uygur, and Ed Shultz are no longer with the network, much to the channel's detriment, in my opinion anyway; as well as, being the opinion of many other viewers, from what I understand, also. And has more and more, become like just another propaganda machine, in many ways; although, (in all fairness) from time to time, every so often, Maddow and the Network do still come out with some pretty interesting, informative, and sometimes even revealing (and factual) stuff, despite themselves, never-the-less...
