This past week, it came out that the Trump team had discussed this idea of releasing illegals who'd entered the country.....into San Francisco (a sanctuary city). Who released it? Unknown. Had they discussed the idea? Yes, apparently so. So seven observations over this:
1. It's not illegal. You can dump them into virtually any state or city. Maybe some Democrats would like to write a law to prevent that, but I'm guessing they'd prefer this story disappear rather quickly.
2. What if you did dump 300 illegals every other day into San Francisco? Who says that the city isn't already, without Trump's help....receiving 4,500 illegals every month?
3. As long as they were Latinos, does anyone care? What if the tendency changed, and 3,000 Nigerians found their way to Honduras, and crossed the border weekly, and they were shipped into west coast sanctuary cities? Would folks get upset or peeved? What if 200 Libyans wanted to move weekly into Mobile, Alabama?
4. How would you 'dump' them? Buy and give them Greyhound tickets (the $49 one-way special)?
5. Can CNN even discuss this matter, without triggering a backlash from Democrats from west coast?
6. Once these people got to San Francisco.....then what? Is there even housing or jobs there for them?
7. What if we dig into this and find that President Obama's team did this into Alabama or Georgia? Is admitting this type of discussion takes place.....a bigger problem, and we need a law to state controls over migrants and immigrants?

Explaining Assange's Rape Episode
If you notice, virtually no news outlet has gone back to tell this story, and it's probably worth understanding.
Back in the early part of 2010....Julian Assange labeled himself as a target of the US government, and felt that he was going to get grabbed 'sooner or later', and sent to the US to face charges. So Julian started this 'secret-agent' game....traveling around Europe (beyond the UK), and staying hidden.
For the most part, a number of pro-WikiLeaks groups were finding accomodations for Julian, and he was moving every couple of days. So in the June/July timeframe of 2010, he ended up in Sweden. There, the pro-WikiLeaks crowd advertised around and found a Swedish gal who was supportive, and Julian moved in with her for several days and nights.
No one says if there was wine or some cannabis in the mix, but somehow....this first gal slept with Julian. No, Julian apparently didn't use condoms.
Then Julian moves onto the next hiding place, the apartment of another Swedish woman. The same thing repeats with Julian sleeping with her. Again, you can't be sure of the entire story.
After Julian leaves house number two.....somehow, these two women find each other, and discuss the matter. For the record, the two believed after the episode....that they were used by Julian. They went to the cops.
What the two wanted was to force Julian to go in and take a test for sexually transmitted diseases. Cops were open about this....the law didn't give them that ability to force him to these tests. So the ladies went the next step....saying that they did not give their consent for sex. Well, that's different....the cops could write up that report, and the prosecution could handle that.
Julian now woke up to realize that this could be a rape case in a Swedish court. So he ran back to the UK, and hid for roughy eight years in a embassy.
The rape charges? They eventually got dropped, but in the last couple of days....it's been discussed that they might be brought back. The max of jail-time if convicted? If there had been violence or threats? You could be talking over several years in prison. But just plain rape, without any violence or threat? Less than two years.
The two women involved? My impression is that they felt used after the episode, and that Julian's 'game' was mostly theatrical in nature. They might have been naive to be volunteers to house Julian, but both were over the age of 21.
It is a legit case, and I suspect that he deserves some type of punishment, but he's been in some embassy hiding 'hole' for more than eight years. That might be viewed as prison in some way.
