Travel › British Woman Arrested At Heathrow For Carrying $2.6 Million by PDPGuy(op): 6:20am On Oct 13, 2020
A 30-year-old British woman who was found carrying about 2 million pounds, or about $2.6 million, in several suitcases while traveling through a London airport could face up to 14 years in prison, The Sun reported on Friday.

Tara Hanlon was traveling through Heathrow Airport to Dubai when authorities discovered the money in her bags, The Sun said.

"This is the largest individual cash seizure at the border so far in 2020 and I am delighted with the efforts of Border Force officers," said Chris Philp, the UK's minister for immigration compliance and the courts, according to The Sun.

"Preventing the export of undeclared cash from the UK is a vital step in clamping down on organised criminal gangs," Philp added.

Hanlon was charged with money laundering and has a court date set for next month, The Sun reported.

A recent IBD poll shows that only roughly 2-3% of Americans have not made up their minds on who to vote for...

The winner of the election will likely be the candidate that turns out his base the most

Talking as a true legal luminary. She will be confirmed and the onus will be on Democrats when they get back the Senate to go for Puerto Rico and District of Columbia to become the two newest States like Hawaii and Alaska over 50 years ago.
Yes, the road to her confirmation is clear, but we still need her to answer some tough questions.

Moreover, I’ll ask these additional questions

“Courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life.”--Judge Amy Coney Barrett in her prepared statement to be delivered to the Senate's Committee on the Judiciary on Monday, October 12, 2020.

So, Judge Barrett, does that mean that Supreme Court decisions such as:

(a) Brown vs. Topeka, which ruled that "separate but equal" was unconstitutional; that black American citizens had no right to protest their apartheid existence in America and should not have been adjucated? or

(b) Roe vs. Wade, which ruled that a woman had a right to an abortion? or

(c) Obergefell vs. Hodges, which ruled that same-sex couples could indeed marry and be afforded the same rights and protections as "traditional" married couples?

These are just three Supreme Court cases, "settled law" in the words of recently-minted Justice Brett Kavanaugh, that you would, if you could, remove legal protections from minorities, women, and the LGBTQ communities--just to name a few-- because you think that these historically aggrieved, marginalized and menaced people (by a hostile majority) had no standing to bring their cases before the law?
Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by PDPGuy(op): 3:59pm On Oct 12, 2020
Here are some questions I hope get asked of Judge Barrett:

What exactly do you mean by "The Kingdom of God," and how do you perceive members of the bar building it, as you have advised graduates at Notre Dame?

President Trump has stated that he wants you confirmed because he expects you to support him in suits involving the current election. Given this, why would you not recuse in any of these proceedings?

You are on record opposing abortion. Do you feel that a woman's bodily autonomy is unconstitutional? Is this not a civil rights question?

Do you feel that personal morality is a compelling force in making decisions that effect the lives of all people?

You have said that you try to see through the eyes of those you are deciding against. What do you see through the eyes of someone who has been denied health care insurance because the protections of preexisting conditions have been stripped away with the ACA?

Do you personally feel comfortable having your nomination and confirmation to the bench rushed through in the middle of election now in process?

Hillary is not even running for the presidency. In addition, it's will come to zero again. They are extremely desperate.
Funny enough, the Republicans controlled the Congress in 2015 when the Benghazi investigations were in full swing, yet that Republican congress returned exactly ZERO criminal referrals to the DOJ!

At this point, a lot of Republicans are clutching at straws

I have not been in Nigeria for a while but my recollection is this

We have
1. Police that wear black on black and are not good for anything beyond husband and wife fight. They are so useless that they cannot controldog and goats, Area thugs regularly beat police up. these are the police you will call that robbers are in your house and they will tell you to bring car to drive them. They are only good when collecting N20 from motorists

We have
2. Soldiers whose training are for real war. They no dey hear word and are very brutal. They are not fit for society except full blown war and jungle

Then we had
3 Mobile Police, they are like an hybrid of the 2. They are not as weak as normal police and not as fierce as soldiers. These were deployed to help in riots, communal clashes and later to keep law and order in the city because Police were totally inadequate.
We started having Operation Sweep, Rapid Response Squad and SARS which are feared by most and most people initially gave them credit for reducing crime. But as we know things get corrupted, these people became laws onto themselves and go overboard many times. You wont deny that even at this time, criminals cyber criminals, armed robbers still fear SARS more than anyone else

The question now is if we abolish SARS

1. what happens to the good work these SARS do? who will do it?

2. What happens to people you have trained to use guns and now without a means of livelihood. These will be the new vicious armed robbers

I think these pressure will make them know people are watching them closely and any misdeed will be treated as a criminal offence. any extra judicial killing will be treated and tried as a murder case

There is a lot wrong with law enforcement in many places, The field officers are not the most educated and are just a shade better than criminals themselves. Unless you pay more I doubt you will get better than those
I wholeheartedly agree with this.

It’s true that Mike Pence went over his allotted time a lot, and was mansplaining a lot.. But Senator Harris stood her ground and put Pence’s feet to the fire on the Trump administration’s record.

Trump is only having Coro in order to claim a vaccine for the states.

The strategy is, use yourself as an exhibition. People will only be convinced of a vaccine when you have undergo the virus yourself. With this strategy, he can beat democrat to announce a vaccine. And if he announce a vaccine before election, it ll only boost his chances of winning.

Putin used his daughter to convince us of a vaccine. Trump is using himself.

If anybody still think trump is a fool then he/she has no brain.

MAGA. Trump 2O2O
FYI, a vaccine does NOT cure an illness; it only prevents you from contracting the disease.

But when you go on and encourage a far-right group to “stand-by”, do you think he condemned White Supremacy fully??

Biden has condemned the looting and violence. I don’t see how it’s reasonable to expect a non-office holder to be calling elected mayors to advise them on how to handle the violence.

It's true what Mark Twain or whoever said: Never argue (read: debate) with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. I'm seeing people say there were two Idiots on the stage (I only saw one), so I guess it worked?

I honestly don't even know how you blame Chris Wallace for this. People say he was worked in Trump's favor, but did he? It must be hard work when three people are in a room, and two people are held to standards of decorum while the third one can do whatever, and we're like: 'oh, we know how he is, but you, why would you tell a sitting president to shut up? I can't stand by that, that's disrespectful.' Well, when you lower the office of the president like this, anything goes, right?

The thing Trump was clearly trying to do was trigger a fit of stuttering from Biden. That's the only reason he kept inserting words, interjecting, trying to distract Biden, and trying to interrupt his flow of thoughts. Literally impossible to debate with that kind of person without a mute function. (Which, dear Lord, please enact one by the next debate so the rest of us don't suffer).

The fact that Trump had the effrontery to bring up Swine flu with COVID on his hands, shows there's no depth to which he wouldn't go. We're almost in October 2020, and he's still saying that: we're not sure how effective masks are. Still bragging about 40,000 people showing up maskless and within close proximity at his rallies. 'No one wants to come out and see you, Joe.' And I won't even talk about how he brought up Hunter's drug problem and dishonorable discharge at the same time as praising his own handling of the military and vets, at the same time as cutting off Biden when he was talking about his deceased decorated son, when he should know the mental toll it takes being a veteran and how many of them may end up struggling with PTSD, drug use, etc. I rotated at the VA as a student in ambulatory care, and almost every one I saw had either Diabetes or hypertension PLUS PTSD. Hunter may not be a saint, but let's see who is a saint out here. And oh by the way, he is NOT running for president.

Biden got steamrolled because he could barely get a word in, and when he did try to talk over Trump, it was painful for the rest of us. How can we be watching a presidential debate and Trump blurts out: 'You're not smart. You graduated last or very near last in you class at Delaware.' Like huh? Are we all in the same place? Biden missed a couple of opportunities to respond to Trump, especially regarding the hundreds of judges seats left open for Trump to fill. Um, Obama nominated candidates to fill those seats, just as he did to fill Scalia's seat in the Supreme Court, and the republicans blocked it until Trump got elected. Which I won't complain about because they had the senate. You have the power, you do what you can to push forward your agenda. Fair is fair. But you can't point to that as a failure of the previous administration. That's just weird.

Anyway, one thing I was glad I didn't hear was the oft repeated lie about full-term abortions. Like, Democrats want to approve full-term abortions where they rip babies out of the womb at birth and basically kill them. The fact that people believe that and hold on to that as the reason they can't support someone like Biden tells you the power of a lie. Full term abortion. Good grief.

I think there will be violence at the polls. I've thought so for some time, but now I'm sure there'll be. Not everywhere, but in some places. I also think there will be tampering with mail votes. Everyone just be careful over the next few weeks.

Do Obama like blacks? Obama is a muslim fundamentalist, he policies for blacks only benefitted the muslim brotherhood. his plan for africa is the legalization of gay and lesbians. democrat hates blacks if you know you know.
BTW, Trump also supports gay marriage. In fact, the promotion of equal rights for LGBT people is a part of his foreign policy.

Chris Wallace interrupted Trump 35times that's like every 2.57 minutes during the entire 90mins debate. Sounds like Trump was debating two people
If Trump kept to the rules he AGREED to before the debate, there would have been no need for Wallace to interrupt Trump. It’s very simple
