Does it seem like a decorated Marine is the only one Obama doesn't want crossing our border?
I’ve had the good fortune to be in contact with associates of Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, the U.S. Marine jailed in Mexico after inadvertently crossing the border with three registered guns in his car. Fox’s Greta Van Susteren has been covering this story diligently, and has traveled the route our Marine traveled when straying across a highway into Mexico, noting it seems quite easy to end up in Mexico without planning on it, because signage is so poor along the roads.
As reported, his mother has had difficulty finding good legal representation for her son, but they’ve now acquired a good attorney to present his case and get him released as soon as possible.
This terrible and unnecessary situation will likely be resolved via the court system and there is every indication that Sgt. Tahmooressi has a strong case to win, but it’s a crapshoot. And it’s crappy (Boy I remember when I was ten years old and liked to say some version of the the word "crap.") that more hasn’t been done to help free this detained U.S. Marine who’s suffered months in a Mexican jail for crossing the boarder into their country with registered arms. We must implore our commander-in-chief to help America’s Marine under his command, and help his family with at least having their questions answered. (You know as a civilian I am more than a little insulted at the idea that somebody in the military is more deserving of justice than any other American. It's not like there are not people in uniform who are incapable of breaking the law, or doing terrible things.) Please don’t prove this is par for the course for your administration, Mr. President. Perhaps if Sgt. Tahmooressi had deserted his post, his mother would get the red carpet treatment at the White House instead of being ignored. (Okay that is just an ugly and unnecessary dig at Sgt. Bergdahl.)
Let’s bring our honorable Marine home. An organization helping Sgt. Tahmooressi will have information for all of us soon, so stay tuned for more info – I'll get it to you – and please do what you can to support them in bringing an honorable American son home.
- Sarah Palin
I know NOTHING about the ease with which one can accidentally cross the border into Mexico, but you would think with everybody so focused on security that it would not be something quite so easily accomplished.
And it appears I'm right.
Here is some information that Palin seems to be willfully overlooking:
According to Vice News, Tahmooressi entered Mexico with a 5.56mm rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and a .45-caliber pistol, as well as more than 400 rounds of ammunition. The chief Mexican customs officer at the San Ysidro crossing told Vice that the guns, all loaded, were "just wrapped up in his belongings" rather than locked away and unloaded as required by California law. Vice also reported that "the rifle was found behind the driver’s seat, the shotgun on the passenger seat, and the pistol was in the driver-side door pocket, along with several cartridges."
It's pretty hard to accidentally end up in Mexico. Especially with guns. There are big signs on the U.S. side telling travelers that guns are illegal in Mexico. There’s plenty of warning that the border is approaching. Is it plausible that Tahmooressi crossed by accident in the dark? Maybe. I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, even though he admitted that he lied to Mexican officials about how many times he'd crossed the border.
Okay now if you were a Mexican police officer and you found an American who entered your country with illegal firearms in their vehicle and four hundred rounds of ammunition, and they then lied about how many times they crossed your border, would you trust that their motives innocent?
But hey if Palin is hell bent on grandstanding in a totally useless fashion, she can join these guys:
U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi has been in a Mexican prison for almost three months — and a group of bikers have decided that’s long enough.
John Harrington, founder of Shield Tactical, grew tired of waiting on President Obama to intervene on the Marine’s behalf, so he is organizing a ride to the Mexican border to demand Tahmooressi’s release.
“I started last Thursday to organize the ride on the border to demand the release of Sgt. Tahmooressi,” Harrington told the Guerilla Media Network in a roadside interview earlier this week. “Somebody has to stand up for these guys. It’s time we start fighting liars with fires. So that’s what we’re doing.”
How does one "fight liars with fires" by the way?
So these motorcycle morons are going to ride their Harley's to the border, and gun their engines in order to intimidate the Mexican law enforcement into releasing the ex-Marine.
It sounds like somebody has been watching too many episodes of the Sons of Anarchy.
The actual Marines have a more reasoned approach to this matter:
In a letter this week to Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., Marine Corps Manpower and Reserve Affairs Commander Lt. Gen. Robert Milstead said the Corps has limited ability to help Tahmooressi, but was willing to do whatever possible to bring him back.
“I understand ... this matter rests appropriately within the U.S. Department of State’s capable hands,” Milstead said. “While it is not within the Marine Corps’ purview to unilaterally intervene in matters involving a foreign government, I assure you that we are prepared to assist as necessary to the greatest extent permissible under law.”
You see THAT is the kind of support that is appropriate. To "assist as necessary to the greatest extent permissible under law." Only attention seeking idiots rant and rage about something that is already being handled by the courts of country with whom we have a friendly relationship.
So here is my question.
What happens if the Mexican authorities turn up some new evidence that Tahmooressi wasn't the innocent border crosser he claims to be? What if it turns out that he was engaged in illegal activities?
Will Palin, Fox News, and the Right Wing rabble rousers then suggest that we invade Mexico to break him out of jail? Or do they actually respect the sovereignty of other nations like they are always saying?
I can just hear John McCain now, "Bomb, bomb, bomb... bomb, bomb Mexico."
Not only that, but sales of Hilary Clinton's book have hit $100,000 the first week, and there was no PAC buying copies.

DeleteWhat happened to Screech from the summer of 2011 on her bus tour to when she still looked reasonably healthy, and then she appeared in 2012 in the photo above looking skeletal, something must have upset her psychologically in a negative way to starve herself in such an abrupt manner, does anyone know of any events that could have set her off from fall 2011 to 2012?
DeleteThank you G for the picture of Sarah looking more current. We forget what is happening to her. When I saw the soccer family picture I was shocked to see how far gone she was. I am taking it that the picture was not photo-shopped and she is as shown, an emancipated meth addicted anorexic. Very sick and toxic in that picture. And that is the good news. She appears as nearly dead.
DeleteIt is good to keep things in perspective when it comes to Sarah Palin and her place in the GOP propaganda world. Seeing her shriveling and of ill health is a good reminder that she is hiding.

>> I am taking it that the picture was not photo-shopped
DeleteOh, but it was!
......“I am a digital artist and everyone in that photo is photo shopped in. Other than sizes of the people in the photo being off, the lighting is a big no no. It is a very good example of what digital artists try to avoid lol. You want your characters to look natural in the setting, like they fit in and are there. One key to that is matching lights.
Bristol and the girl next to her are overexposed. They and the man next to Bristol have very strong lighting from above that no one else in the group has. Even the blanket is photo shopped in. Sarah is too small. Every single one of them are “wrong” when compared to the background, they don’t blend in naturally with the grass or each other as they would have if the photo were real. They have been pasted in.

ReplyDeleteSarah needs to stay in the news or the rubes might forget to send money.
while serving in US Navy, i visited 17 countries. we were heavily cautioned to NOT violate their countries laws!! as there was not much the military could do.
ReplyDeleteand as i now reside in Belize, and travled thru Mexico to get here, i can tell you, we passed many checkpoints in Mexico and they were asking about guns and ammo, which i said 'no, we have none'. after arriving in Belize, i found an old box of 22 shells in my glove compartment i didn't know was there!
if they were found by either Mex or belizean cops, i would not be sitting here typing this right now!!
and there would be nothing a skank like Sarah could do to help me.

ReplyDeleteWe all know $a®ah™ has said a lot of stupid and ugly things in her short career as a person paid to say stupid and ugly things (apparently). But for some reason, this one really makes me actually physically ill.
She's REALLY going to reach right into the sewage with her face and pull out a turd like this? She's REALLY going to equate rescuing a POW with trying to subvert Mexican law and give a get out of jail free card to a guy who broke the law?
So what are you saying $a®ah™, Americans just get a free pass to break laws and be asshats in other people's countries because they're American? I guess your WOULD say that, wouldn't you.
$a®ah™, please never stop being a prime exemplar of everything that is broken and wrong with America. Because we may never have the courage and motivation to fix it without you continually showing us how incredibly ugly it is.
Sarah does not merely hate "aliens" from south of the border, she wants to advertise she totally disrespects an entire neighboring country. She rather throw turd balls at neighbors than try to show an ounce of respect (including self respect). Mexico shouldn't be allowed to have their own laws or expect others to respect their culture. Sarah Palin is the one that must rewrite and write Mexico's history and future, no one else is magnificent enough, inside a Palin brain.
DeleteThis latest diatribe shows her true colors. Hilarious that they let her have the drugs and keep her so delusional to think she could debate or be on par with Hillary Clinton. Sarah will never get close enough to be in the same room as a Clinton.
It must get lonely for scared little coward to only hide behind a dumb Facebook racket.
First off, you just don't "wander" over the San Ysidro border point. Any Marine can tell you that. Dumbasses do exist in the Marine Corps.
ReplyDeleteSo fuck off SP and let the chips fall. He broke the law. Period.
Marine Corps
1967 - 1969
Besides breaking the law, Tahmooressi attempted 2(two) separate escapes after he was incarcerated but was caught. That most certainly will add t-i-m-e to what could have been just a stupid blunder.
DeleteWe are not at war w/Mexico, so it's not our responsibility to pull the Marine out of there because he crossed the border himself and took in guns.
ReplyDeletePalin is an idiot! She and the Republicans have lost every other issue they've been fighting for years and they'll lose this one too!
Vote every Republican you can out of office - don't elect new ones and someone sew Palin's mouth shut!
Bad enough to have guns. Loaded guns, I am speechless. Ammunition, the staple of gun nuts, ammo, ammo, ammo and more ammo. Did he tell Mexico he was just going hunting? Tahmooressi is not well and all that is sad. I can understand his mother doing whatever but the Fox News cause celebre. and they are back to a Palin connection that can only make them appear as useless lying idiots again. I wish she will do Hannity or Greta soon, that might do them both in.
DeleteExactly. Stoopid Scarah, here' a little breakdown:
DeleteBergdahl - soldier in enemy country during a war
Tamooressi - guy who happens to be a Marine goes to foreign country on his civilian time.
Bergdahl, captured by enemy we are at war with POW status
Tamooressi, detained by police of a friendly nation for criminal behavior
Bergdahl - only way out is US negotiation
Tamooressi - access to a civilian court system
Geez, you are a dumbass, Stoopid $carah.
You hit the nail on the head, Gryphen. I have been in this area many times -- both in the good old days and recently. If you are going to drive with loaded and inadequately secured weapons, you must be prepared to deal with the consequences. I am sad for Tahmooressi if he was dealing with PTSD, but that does not excuse illegal behavior. If you google his name, you can see that this is a Fox cause celebre.
ReplyDeleteWTF was he doing carrying guns like that anyway? My bet is he was 'illegal alien' hunting, if they were that accessible to him. Shooting ducks on the border, most likely.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, there is no fucking way he 'accidentally' ended up in Mexico, there is a very clear border, with tons of signs, so he's full of shit, he's a lying asshole, along with Sarah Palin.
And so what that he was a Marine, he's not anymore and he broke the law in an egregious way in a foreign country, why shouldn't he be in jail? Why shouldn't he be prosecuted for it? Why shouldn't Mexico have the right to hold him?
He knew EXACTLY what he was doing and he did it anyway and now he's paying the price. That's life, Sarah.
And finally, why the fuck should any plea from Sarah to Obama for ANYTHING be taken seriously when she spends all her time bashing and mocking him. She's just bandwagon jumping, as usual, trying to stir up trouble and sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong.
Nailed it on every count 9:35! :)
DeleteHe possibly had business with a small time cartel and he would have been disappeared before long. His mother has no clue or she would be thankful he is alive and she knows where he is.
DeleteOh bullshit! What is 'honorable' about a Marine who lies and gun runs? That's sure not my idea of honorable, no how, no way. Just because you wear a uniform, doesn't make you honorable. He broke the law, intentionally, and he got busted. Tough cookies for him, but that's the way the law works.
ReplyDeletecrosseyed skank is probably going to try to send the dumb fuk to "hockey camp" in michigan - straightened track menard's ass out, didn't it ?
DeleteSpeaking of Bowe Bergdahl and the right wing outrage that he was released and brought home...
ReplyDeleteRepublican Senators “Blame” Harry Reid For The Rescue of POW Bowe Bergdahl
...Just to make the point perfectly clear, Republicans are arguing that bringing American POWs home is a bad thing. The idea that they can both support the release of Bergdahl and oppose giving up anything in return is the type of negotiating tactic that the nation has witnessed congressional Republicans try to pull domestically during the government shutdown and debt ceiling negotiations. Congressional Republicans are all about getting something for nothing, so of course, opposing the return of a POW makes perfect sense to them.
The underlying hypocrisy of Republicans saying nothing while President George W. Bush released or transferred 500 detainees remains undiscussed by both the media and the GOP. The letter’s author, Sen. David Vitter, repeatedly voted against end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This so called fiscal conservative also voted against putting war spending on the books. Senate Republicans voted to keep soldiers like Bowe Bergdahl in Afghanistan and Iraq, and are now irate because an American POW has been brought home.

Okay now if you were a Mexican police officer and you found an American who entered your country with illegal firearms in their vehicle and four hundred rounds of ammunition, and they then lied about how many times they crossed your border, would you trust that their motives innocent?
ReplyDelete-------------------------------------
How about we turn it around - if it was a Mexican "accidentally" bringing that many guns into this country would we say "oopsie"?
Heck, the rightwing nuts are up in arms (no pun intended) over children coming into this country illegally. Unarmed no less.
The ignorance is overwhelming. Several times "registered guns" are mentioned. Registered "where"? Try that on the Canadian border, entering with 3 "registered" guns, scattered throughout the car with loose ammo.
ReplyDeleteHe is not a well man. Too bad someone could sell him registered guns. For his own good it would have been better if there was a back ground check to see if he had mental health problems. If the VA was too slow, he could have gone to other services in California or Florida. Sad that his mother wasn't able to help him in Florida.
DeleteAnything to do with guns, human trafficking or drugs in California/Mexico area is controlled by the cartels. Not all cartels are equal. Once he said going to California that should have been an alert. He is not the only vet to go there to hook up. If his mother had any idea of what was actually going on with her son's mental health I would think she would have found him some help in the Florida health care system. It could have been a game changer for him.
DeleteWhere was this Marine, when they had Attorney General Eric Holder ass in the hot seat over Fast & Furious? (something that started in the Bush Administration)
ReplyDeleteI lived in San Diego for many years. There is no way this guy "accidentally wandered" over the border. The San Ysidro checkpoint is big and busy with many lanes, and long waiting lines. You know exactly what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteAlso, in addition to purposefully driving into Mexico with guns and ammo (for what purpose, the Mexican government has every right to ask), he was willfully breaking California laws regarding firearms in vehicles.
I don't have any wish for bad things to happen to this guy, but what exactly has been "honorable" about his disrespect for the laws of his country, those of a different nation, and the directives of his Marine Corps superiors?
My former husband retired from the US Marines, and as someone stated above, they are warned clearly and thoroughly NOT to violate the laws of another country! They don't get a free pass because rill 'Murkins are kings of the world, despite what Palin obviously thinks.
I lived in San Diego too Nefer and I agree with what you said here.The border at San Ysidro is also very lighted at night and with guards 24 hours a day.
DeleteWith all those guns and all that ammo...could he have been selling guns to the Mexicans? Is that how he got $100k in the bank?
Delete3:15 PM
DeleteThe most plausible explanation. Perhaps a journalist will find out the full story. It could come out with a trial.
3:15 $arah will, of course, post that gun-running is a form of free enterprise while those who are lured here with the promise of $5 hour for mowing lawns or scrubbing toilets is a criminal, socialist offense that should be dealt with in the harshest manner.

ReplyDeleteA dear friend of mine sailed her yacht/crew into Canadian waters and when the vessel was boarded for inspection, a gun was found. (Most smart people would not sail open sea without a gun on board.) My friend, her yacht and crew are now no longer welcome in Canada.
ReplyDeletePalin can't speak or write English at an adult level but I had to laugh at her misspelling of 'boarder'. If one crosses the 'border' of Mexico with that much firepower, quite likely they will become a 'boarder', at the local jail. The signs at the crossings are very bold and 'vibrant' in this regard.
Another ignorant post by seditious sarah trying to stir up more gop bullshit and lies. This former marine had guns that are not allowed in Mexico. Check your facts seditious sarah before you start screeching about how our Presidents doesn't care or won't help this dumbass! He went into another country with illegal weapons lied about how many times he had been there recently and we should jump the shark for this dumb ass why??? Oh yeah you never have answers seditious sarah just meth fueled rants when you feel the lame stream media isn't hopping on your current bandwagon, you know what FUCK OFF you stupid bitch
ReplyDeleteHe must be Sarah's drug mule, and was going to Mexico to bring back Sarah's monthly supply of meth; that's why she's so pissed. Gonna have to dip into Track's stash now, right Sarah ?
DeleteReading the details of his guns I recalled scenes from Breaking Bad.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the crossing Tahmooressi said he accidently made a wrong turn in. I've never been through that particular crossing. I know in El Paso going into Juarez, there are signs everywhere that tell you guns and ammo are not allowed in Mexico. Mexico is not part of the United Stares, and makes their own laws. It really doesn't matter to them that Tahmooressi had registered guns. Violence is very common in Mexicos border cities due to the drug wars. There have been US military personnel who were arrested for being hit men for the drug cartels. How were the Mexican officials to know that Tahmooressi wasn't another one?
ReplyDeleteWhy a helmet, Sarah? Is there something to protect under there? We haven't noticed!
ReplyDeleteAgain, $ARAH, he is now a CIVILIAN. He gets the same treatment as the rest of us would.
ReplyDeleteIn the mid 90's I was acquainted with a business man in Silicon valley who frequently travelled back and forth to Mexico, Hong Long and Germany. On one trip to Mexico he purchased a set of antique dueling pistols. He tucked them - boxed in their original velvet-lined wooden case - into his briefcase and didn't give them another thought.
ReplyDeleteThe pistols were discovered by the airline on the Mexican side of the border at check-in and my friend was detained. To make matters worse for him, the pistols had been found loaded.
This was almost a full decade prior to 9/11. It took a year with his company utilising their vast resources and influence, the diplomatic assistance of a California Senator (I think it was a senator) to bring him home. He'd been held in a Mexican prison, made to stand trial, forfeited his guns and had his business travel visa into Mexico revoked.
And this was a respected businessman, known on both sides of the border who enjoyed a solid reputation in several countries..
There's only so much our government can do outside of the US. And I fail to see how these two cases have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with bringing home a PoW.

This is local news here. I'm in San Diego and it's our border he crossed.
ReplyDeleteAccording to his mother, he was staying in a Mexican hotel because it was "cheaper". I'm not so sure how the accidentally ended up in Mexico works for that.
He purportedly has PTSD and his calls to his mother pleading for her to get him out said he feared for his life. That was months ago and he is apparently still alive.
This is not the responsibility of the president to fix. As was reported, our local right wing conservative pro gun congressman, Carpetbagger Hunter III is on the case.
It is not the responsibility of the President. The guy was not on active duty. And staying in Tijuana is not exactly looking for help at the San Diego VA.

DeleteSchlocker is a known slimeball here in WI, going back to his questionable actions when he was attending Marquette University. I hope he gets his pink slip soon.
DeleteDoes Scott Walker even have the brains to mastermind that?
DeleteFrom the LA Times story and seemingly overlooked when pleading his cause:
ReplyDelete"Tahmooressi, who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan before retiring, told Greta Van Susteren that after spending the day in Tijuana (where he checked into, then out of, a hotel), he returned to the U.S. side of the border, and got into his truck.
He made a wrong turn, he said, and ended up accidentally crossing back into Mexico, where he tried to turn around but was stopped by Mexican border guards. He told them he had three guns – all legal in the U.S. – whereupon they arrested him because guns are illegal in Mexico, whether you entered the country by accident or not."
He was in Tijuana, which is in Mexico - correct? Left Tijuana, crossed the border BACK into the US and then got turned around and went over the Mexican border AGAIN... All without stopping somewhere to pick up his guns. This means he had the guns with him in Tijuana - right?
I'm assuming Mexican law is the same in Tijuana as it is at the border? So he had been breaking the law or at least a day before he got caught up at the border.
I do hope his case gets resolved quickly and without anymore drama but, according to this story, he was violating Mexican law for several hours before getting in the wrong lane.
He supposedly walked from Tijuana back to US, where he picked up the truck which had the guns.
DeleteAccording to his 911 call he was concerned about his guns he said "I crossed the border by accident, and I have three guns in my truck, and they're trying to take my guns from me."
Delete1:12 PM
DeleteAlso, too, Track Palin, he wanted his guns. He wasn't about to let that blonde take them. The military does that to those boys.
If Sarah wants him out, she should go to Mexico herself and get him. Sarah always wants others to do the work. And she should be sure to bring guns with her when she goes..................
ReplyDeleteYes! Please Sarah take your guns with you and see how long it takes for anyone to get you out of jail...Bwahahaha! A Mexican jail is a perfect place for her!
DeleteAren't the bikers going to Mexico to get him out? She can go with them. Sounds like a plan. Let's see how serious she is about freeing this former Marine. Or maybe she just wants to blame the President for something, anything and tell him to fix it.
DeleteWhy in the world was this Marine driving anywhere with three loaded weapons and 400 (!) rounds in his car - all loaded and accessible?
ReplyDeleteI live on the Mexico border and there is no way one can just accidently drive into Mexico. NO WAY!!!
I also worked at a Marine Corps training center located on the border. Command was vigilent in making sure each and every Marine stayed out of trouble when going to Mexico. That included taking no weapons into Mexico.
This Marine's excuses don't hold up to reason. Or the law. And simply being a Marine does not render him exempt from the law.
There she goes again. Hanging her hat on an issue where she can blame President Obama.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sarah, the weather is bad today: blame Obama. Or, the sun released another flare, blame Obama. Oh, oh, oh, Sarah, ISIS are invading Iraq, blame Obama. An American civilian was captured in North Korea, blame Obama. A gunman accidentally shot a new father, blame Obama.
Hey, Sarah, there is increasing violence, anarchy, murder, misery in the world, blame Obama.
Sarah, your wig's on crooked, blame Obama.
Hey, Sarah, your tits are sagging - blame POTUS. Hey Sarah, you are aging horribly - blame POTUS. Hey, Sarah, you and Todd have a horrible marriage - blame POTUS.
DeleteHey Sarah, you kids are juvenile delinquents and pregnant out of wedlock - blame POTUS!
Hey Sarah - you are a friggin' mental mess, liar and fraud! Blame yourself!
Bull-fucking-shit he crossed at San Ysidro by accident! CANNOT happen! Huge signs, narrow to lanes barricaded with concrete, cameras everywhere, cross under US Customs. Been there many times. Fucking Bitch liar! Check these images out

10:50 Thanks for the photos. Sure puts it into perspective.
DeleteLet's just say he did get turned around and was heading into Mexico. Why didn't he, knowing he had guns in his car, just pull over to the side--or stop doggon in the middle of the road--and wait for U.S. authorities or CHP to come "rescue" him from his predicament?
Judging from the traffic it would take a while for authorities to get to him so he had plenty of time to unload the weapons, stow the guns and ammo in a legal manner and no one would have been the wiser.
Sorry, Sarah and Faux News. We live in an Internet Age and you can't hide photos from everyone--only those "old" people who refuse to learn how to use the Internet.
He's lying. Here's the REAL scoop and it ain't a pretty picture.
ReplyDeleteEvidence is emerging that inactive Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi’s ingress into Mexico on the night of March 31, 2014 was anything but a mistake as he and his mother have been claiming.
A receipt from the Hotel Nelson, a somewhat historic $20.00 a night “hot sheet” hotel abutting Tijuana’s Zone de Tolerancia” has been uncovered, issued to Andrew Tahmooressi for payment of room rent on room 310 on the afternoon of the day he was arrested for entering Mexico with a fully loaded AR-15 assault style rifle, a chrome plated 1911 model .45 caliber pistol, a 12 ga. shotgun and 457 rounds of ammunition, in addition to extra clips for the pistol and rifle. All loaded and all easily accessible to Tahmooressi.
Although the story has changed depending on what time of the day it is where his mother, Jill Tahmooressi is at, her “baby boy” was going south on I-5 to meet friends in San Ysidro for dinner, he missed the last exit on the freeway and ended up in Mexico. And although he owned a 2013 Triumph motorcycle, weapons worth more than $3500 dollars and had a flush bank account totaling $100,000.00, according to his mother, Tahmooressi was essentially homeless and living out of his pickup truck.
We later learned from Rep. Duncan Hunter’s office, a California Congressman whose district this occurred in and who never misses an opportunity to bash Mexico, that this was not Tahmooressi’s first time in Mexico nor crossing the border at that spot. The accused finally admitted to having been into Mexico 5 or 6 times to visit “friends” as he was developing a relationship with a woman from the area. Congressman Hunter’s office confirmed at least two previous excursions into Mexico based on bank and cell phone records.
So here we have the accused whose credibility is hanging by a thread, his mommy has got the lemmings of Fox News all stirred up, demanding the President, Vice President and even the Commandant of the Marine Corps to demand that Mexico release Tahmooressi or vowing to come and get him. And all the time, mama’s “baby boy” has been doing what young men, military and civilian alike have been visiting Tijuana for for more than 100 years.
So looking at it logically. The accused walks across the border, spends the afternoon in the sin pits of TJ, rents a hotel room for the night and then, about 2230 in the evening, decides to walk back across the border, where he doesn’t have a home, nor a hotel rented, gets in his truck and mistakenly enters Mexico with all his worldly possessions and three weapons, illegal in Mexico?
Give me a break here Faux News. That’s a stretch even for you people.
When he was arrested and booked in to the prosecutors office, if a hotel key was found on his person, the case is over. There is no mitigation such as his “mistake” or his PTSD nor any of those things. Tahmooressi is guilty as charged of the crimes he is being detained for. Of that there is no doubt.

Whoa! Now THIS puts a whole new spin on things now doesn't it. And looking at those photos, this guy had way too much firepower to be innocent of anything! What the hell was he doing with all that if not running it to somebody in Mexico? And the fact that he lies so blatantly, with his mother's support for the lies, tells me that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She's tried to get all kinds of media attention, but the bottom line is this guy is guilty as hell and he's paying the price. Because she got the media involved, he's toast.
DeleteUh talk about a different spin on this with these links.
DeleteBravo for the good reporting! I thought that he went to San Diego because he couldn't get treatment for his PTSD in Florida. Meeting friends for dinner and staying in a Mexican hotel do not sound like the story his mother told about trying to get treatment at a VA hospital in San Diego. This guy has too m any stories, and they just don't add up.
DeleteThank you for all tis information. Yet again, Ms Palin is attempting to insert herself in ANY story. She is insanely addicted to attention from any source — good or bad.
DeleteThe moment the mother of inactive Marine Sgt.Andrew Tahmooressi decided to take the case of her son’s lawful arrest and imprisonment to Fox News and the internet through social media to arouse the ire and anger of the right wing bigots and Obama haters, the chance for his quick release disappeared.
DeleteAnd yes, I refer to Tahmooressi as MR. TAHMOORESSI because in his current situation, his past service to this country, admirable as it may be, has absolutely no bearing on the crime he committed and is being prosecuted for.
THE ROLE OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF STATE IN ASSISTING US CITIZENS ARRESTED IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY
While in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject to that country’s laws and regulations, in this case Mexico, which sometimes differ significantly from those in the United States and may not afford the protections available to the individual under U.S. law. Penalties for breaking the law can be more severe than in the United States for similar offenses. Persons violating the law, even unknowingly, may be expelled, fined, arrested, or imprisoned. Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking in illegal drugs or guns may be strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences and fines.
If arrested abroad, a citizen must go through the foreign legal process of being charged or indicted, prosecuted, possibly convicted and sentenced, as well as any appeals process. Within this framework, U.S. consular officers provide a wide variety of services to U.S. citizens arrested in Mexico and elsewhere and their families.

Thank you for taking the time to post all these links and explain what they mean.
DeleteI say proceed, half-time governor, the more she rails about this marine, the worse she'll look when it blows up in her face. She's just jumping on Greta's bandwagon because Greta keeps throwing the Trig thing out for Sarah. I hope this helps take them both down.
DeletePLEASE GRETA, interview Sarah on your show. You know she is so like Hillary with her statue in the GOP. By golly, she loves to talk about how she was victimized when she gave birth to Trig. She is such the expert on all things military and foreign relations. Especially our neighbors in Mexico. Please Greta, JUST DO IT, interview Sarah... it is a ratings bonanza for ya!
DeleteWhile I feel badly for this young man, and give him the benefit of the doubt, and hope he can be freed and learn his lesson and not take a chance like that again, it's still exploitative for Sarah to jump on this case.
ReplyDeleteIt's so obvious she is begging Greta to pay attention to her. This story was Greta VS's baby, and now Sarah gloms on to it, as though she is taking charge now and being pro-active. GVS has been reporting about this case for 2 months now. Suddenly Sarah needs to follow the group, "hey, I want in on this too", so she gets a chance to pawn herself on TV.
Poor Sarah, not much work for her these days, so a girl's got to pretend she cares about other people.
Sarah Palin is owned.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see they stuck her in a corner and she can't touch the big girl news. Poor little has been is relegated to misinformation on a former Marine stuck in a Mexican jail.
Lunatic Dick and Lizzie will handle Iraq. MWAHAHA
Sarah, You are so owned.
Ain't she though?
DeleteOops! The guy accidentally drove into another country with illegal weapons....hmmm. What would happen if someone wondered into the US with or without weapons....hmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteThis woman claims to be equipped to run anything? Let alone a country
What happened to Screech from the summer of 2011 on her bus tour to when she still looked reasonably healthy, and then she appeared in 2012 in the photo above looking skeletal, something must have upset her psychologically in a negative way to starve herself in such an abrupt manner, does anyone know of any events that could have set her off from fall 2011 to 2012?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the GOP "elite" telling her to fuck off or they'd spill the goods on her down to the last detail?
DeleteAs for all the posts of late, it seems one Madison Kimrey got under her thin skin? Pwned by a 12-year-old! Rock on, Madison!
Sarah should have thought (ha!) a little bit more about this case before putting on her red, white, and blue bikini with the twirly nipple tassels to prance around with yet another sure-fire attack on the President (which is all it is; she doesn't care a tiny bit about anyone but herself).
ReplyDeleteEven for our simple-minded SQUIRREL chasing media and our often times not very bright populace, the facts of this case don't stand up to much scrutiny before things start to think.
He was breaking California laws. He was breaking Mexico laws. He lied to the Mexican government about how many times he had been to Mexico. He had spent the day in Tijuana, checked into a motel, then out and back to the US, and then drove, apparently not through the border crossing station, back into Mexico. With the guns and ammo in his truck.
To most people this is not going to look like a harmless day trip to buy a few souvenirs.
And there are many patriotic people in the US who understand that other countries have a right to expect us to respect their laws, just as we expect visitors to respect our laws.
I think many people will wish him well, but be willing to let the appropriate diplomatic people in both countries work on this case. Many people will also regard him as a dumbass who got what he deserved.
To many people, Palin will look like a damn fool for trying to wrap this guy in the flag and pretend that he is the second coming of George Washington.
Sarah Palin already looks "like a damn fool" and has every time she's opened her mouth or had something published on Facebook. She's an idiot and this is not something that is worth the blather. But she thinks it will embarrass President Obama. Sarah, it won't embarrass President Obama. The proper authorities are dealing with the case. There is only so much that one country can do when one of its citizens is dumb enough to break the laws of the country they have just entered. Maybe Sarah should take her little pink gun and visit the Marine in jail. . . .
DeleteBeaglemom
Well, our pistol packing granny won't be able to get her little pink pistola on a plane so if someone can get her down to No Cal, I will drive her the rest of the way to the San Ysidro gate. I'll even front her a few bucks for a cab into town if she's short.
DeleteThere are a number of problems with the marine's story,so it is really hard to feel sorry for him.
ReplyDelete1. He claimed that he had PTSD and couldn't get into the VA where he lived in Florida, so he went to San Diego.
2. He should have tried VA hospitals closer to home or asked his congressman for help. San Diego is not the next place you go if you can't get into a Florida VA hosptial.
3. He had crossed the border into Mexico several times before, so he must have been aware of the signs warning "no guns."
4. His story is that he left his truck and his guns in California, and first crossed into Mexico by foot, taking a back pack and some essentials. He intended to stay at a hotel in Tijuana.
5. Tijuana? That's not exactly around the corner from the VA hospital. He said he just wanted to go to Mexico to "hang out." What happened to getting treatment at the VA?
6. Then, he went back for his truck. He said he carried the guns because he was constantly afraid of being attacked. (Going to Mexico would not make him any safer. Just a hint).
7. The next set of excuses are that it was dark, he used a little know crossing, the signs were either missing or covered with graffiti, he was in the wrong lane and couldn't turn around so there he was, stuck in Mexico. (Never mind that he planned to stay at a hotel and had already by there by foot).
8. If for some reason you were stuck in a line anywhere and you suddenly realized that you had made the wrong turn, you really should stop, get someone authority to help you make the U-turn and get out of there. You don't just keep driving.
If the guy entered Mexico by a little known, poorly marked dark road, it's amazing that none of the Mexicans have discovered it as an easy way to get into the US.
ReplyDeleteLittle known, poorly marked? Bullshit.
DeleteThis is where he crossed.
http://tinyurl.com/nw78jaf
Agreed; that's a major freaking crossing that's used by thousands of people every single day.

ReplyDeleteWhat else is Marine Andrew Tahmooresi Hiding as New Details and Contradictions Emerge
ReplyDeleteOn Tuesday, the Union Tribune confirmed that this wasn’t the vets first rodeo in Tijuana, that indeed, he had entered the country at least 6 times previously. That would seem to destroy his claims of innocence and of being lost and ending up on the Mexico side of the border.
But it gets more bizarre. An April 4 e-mail correspondence from Tahmooressi’s Mexican lawyer, Alejandro Osuna, seems to show that the attorney coached his client to not reveal the prior trips to Mexico. According to the e-mail, Osuna told his client to “stick to the script ” — which was that he was had never been to Tijuana and that he missed the last U.S. exit on Interstate 5 while driving to meet friends in San Ysidro.
“Andrew kept insisting he wanted to change it, but our concern was that if he mentioned he had been in Tijuana about six times prior to his detention (which seems to be the case), his story would have been less credible,” according the email, which was read to U-T San Diego by Hunter’s spokesman Joe Kasper
Osuna released a statement to U-T San Diego on Tuesday about his “stick to the script” email. “In my e-mail to his mother, my concern was that Andrew might utter something before the federal judge (that could be) used against him, even before we had complete knowledge of the facts,” Osuna wrote.
In many peoples opinion, Tahmooresi’s story had been completely without an ounce of credibility considering the signage as you approach the border and the delays in crossing encountered by US Customs officials checking vehicles for contraband leaving the country.
Alejandro Gonzalez Guilbot, head of Mexican customs in Tijuana came out with his own statement of events surrounding Tahmooresi’s arrest on April 1, 2014.
“All I can say is that the individual entered though a ‘nothing to declare lane’ with weapons that are for exclusive use of the Mexican military,” Gonzalez said.
“He never said, ‘I got lost.’ He never said, ‘I am a Marine.’”
“He never said, ‘I got lost.’ He never said, ‘I am a Marine.’”
Mexican border officials pulled Tahmooressi’s truck into an inspection lane when they noticed his pickup didn’t have a front license plate and was loaded with items that included a ladder, according to Gonzalez.
He said inspectors soon found three weapons, all loaded. Tahmooressi has said he volunteered the information about the guns to inspectors.
A .45-caliber pistol was in a door pocket beneath the driver’s side window, Gonzalez said. The two other weapons were also within reach, he said. He described them as an AR MR-2 rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun. Tahmooressi previously described the rifle as an AR-15.
Gonzalez said on average, customs inspectors find contraband weapons about once or twice a week. But in more than a year in that office, he said he has never seen “an arsenal of this size.”

What does he need a ladder for?
Delete"Anonymous11:58 AM
DeleteWhat does he need a ladder for?"
----------------------------------
To climb out of the hole he dug for himself?
Information obtained from a surveillance camera video showing Tahmooressi’s entrance into Mexico and investigations done on both sides of the border have led to this conclusion which is included in the investigative package that has been forwarded to the Procuraduría General de la República (PGR), Mexico’s equivalent to our Attorney Generals office. According to the report, this wasn’t the first time Tahmooressi had been in Tijuana and had “personal interest” in Mexico. The statement doesn’t specify when the previous visits to Mexico occurred, however, there is a heavy Marine presence in the southern part of California with Camp Pendleton less than 100 miles north of the border.
ReplyDeleteTahmooressi was arrested on April 1, 2014 when he crossed into Mexico carrying a loaded .45 caliber pistol, AR-15 type assault weapon and a 12 gauge shotgun, as well as extra ammo clips and ammunition for all three weapons.
He was charged with being in possession of firearms “reserved exclusively for military use” and faces from 6 to 21 years in Federal prison in Mexico if convicted.

It's a pity for Palin that she never mastered the art of reading or the even more difficult comprehension. She brags that she can do things until the law tells her she can't. Well, the laws in Mexico have SPOKEN quite clearly not to mention that's it's been the law for a long, long time.
DeleteGuess can't expect her to keep abreast of haps in Mexico when she is kept busy watching for Putin and firing flaming arrows at the President in DC.
Gen. Gabriel García Rincón, commander of Mexico’s Second Military Zone, which includes Tijuana, said in a May 2 interview published in the Tijuana daily El Mexicano, that Tahmooressi’s status as a veteran is irrelevant to the charges he faces. Entering Mexico with firearms is a crime and Tahmooressi is subject to Mexican law.
ReplyDeleteGeneral Gabriel Garcia Rincon, Commander of the Second Military District which includes Tijuana said in an interview that Tahmooressi entered Mexico as an American citizen and must be subject to the laws of our country, without regard to any occupation he may have had,” said García. “Everyone must be subject to our laws without regard to who they are or where they’re from.”
He entered [Mexico] as an American citizen and must be subject to the laws of our country, without regard to any occupation he may have had,” said García. “Everyone must be subject to our laws without regard to who they are or where they’re from.”
“He probably didn’t mean to, but in the final analysis he broke the law and he must pay the consequences,” said García. “I don’t know the circumstances he has given, but he did bring the weapons [into Mexico].”
YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS END AT THE U.S. BORDERS
Absolutely. And I wonder why he had to have more than one weapon with him and all of that ammunition anyway. Something's not quite right with this guy, former Marine or not. Automatically defending someone just because he has been in the military is ridiculous. The Mexicans are right: US rights end at the border. Mexico has enough problems without having thoughtless US citizens add to the mix.
DeleteBeaglemom
I've crossed over at San Ysidro; it's a huge freakin' border crossing, with signs and guards and everything. Not even the stupidest Pee Ponder, not even Skanky Pay-me herself, could mistakenly wander over and have no idea.
DeleteLook for even more foamy droolings from the Underfed Pit Bull in the next few days as she tries to distract her followers from the latest Scott Walker news. I'm sure the Kochs will call on her to deflect, and from what I remember they really, really like cute li'l conservodrons Scotty at the Pond. Ruh roh!
ReplyDeleteMADISON, Wis. (AP) — Newly released documents show prosecutors are alleging Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was at the center of a nationwide "criminal scheme" to illegally coordinate with outside conservative groups...Prosecutors say Walker, his chief of staff and others who worked for him were discussing illegal coordination with a number of national groups and prominent figures, including GOP strategist Karl Rove.

Let's get serious about why the marine's mother has teamed up with Sarah Palin. Her latest facebook post describes Mother Jill going to Mexico to get a lawyer to represent her son. They keep emphasizing the fact that the guns were purchased legally. The guns were registered. Fine, that's good in the US. it does nothing to address the big signs at the border warned not to bring weapons or ammunition into Mexico. What is this really about?
ReplyDelete1. The Marine is a great prop for Sarah to demand that President Obama do something. (Sarah works well with props).
2. Money, it's also about donating money to the poor mother in order for her to get a good lawyer.
3. What else does Sarah have to write about? She is busy writing about veterans with PTSD, but she has offered no solutions to the backlog in the VA.
4. The current crisis in the Middle East is distracting people from what Sarah thinks is important, namely herself. And, she can't say a word about Iraq, since it was the Republicans who got us in there to start with.
5. And, it's also about money. Give generously to both Sarah and Jill Tahmooressi.
" And, she can't say a word about Iraq, since it was the Republicans who got us in there to start with."
Delete------------------------------------------------
Also because she doesn't know a damn thing about Iraq, and she doesn't have handy dandy note cards from the McCain campaign to help her out this time.
What else does Sarah have to write about? She is busy writing about veterans with PTSD, but she has offered no solutions to the backlog in the VA.
DeleteShe never has a sane discussion about PTSD. Like Jeremy Morlock may have been suffering PTSD.
What is wrong with Track Palin? If he was near combat he could suffer PTSD. You can suffer PTSD for things other than combat or being in the military.
This Marine situation is a pathetic example of PTSD. Even if he has it, if he breaks laws in any country it doesn't negate because of PTSD.
He looks like he is using that for an excuse. Sarah Palin should tell him to man up and she will come visit him in Federal Prison. She will have plenty of time if he gets the 26 years in a Mexican prison.
THE DICK will handle Iraq. He doesn't want her to open her pie hole about his war crime war. It is all his.
DeletePlus Greta is on the case, so maybe if she shouts loud enough on FB, Greta will let her on her show. She's desperate for some TV time.
DeleteMost Mexican border towns are off limits to US military personnel. They can fly to Mexico on a vacay, but can't drive over. Too much nefarious stuff going on.

ReplyDelete...“I am a digital artist and everyone in that photo is photo shopped in. Other than sizes of the people in the photo being off, the lighting is a big no no. It is a very good example of what digital artists try to avoid lol. You want your characters to look natural in the setting, like they fit in and are there. One key to that is matching lights.
Bristol and the girl next to her are overexposed. They and the man next to Bristol have very strong lighting from above that no one else in the group has. Even the blanket is photo shopped in. Sarah is too small. Every single one of them are “wrong” when compared to the background, they don’t blend in naturally with the grass or each other as they would have if the photo were real. They have been pasted in.
My guess is that the Palins & co have been taking photos of themselves in a studio, probably both single photos and groups. They have taken photos of themselves against a white background. Then they paste together the different photos to make it seems like they are together at some event.

Enlarge the photo really big and adjust the exposure, etc.. It does not appear to be photoshopped.
DeleteThe photo analysis is form over substance and offers nothing to support the conclusion that the Palin-Heath clan were pasted in. The digital artist doesn't seem to understand variances in lighting and shadow on a cloudy day or issues of perspective.
The bright side for Sarah is that she may not be so sick and shriveled as she looks next to the huge people in that picture. lol

ReplyDeleteOMG, wouldn't that be the cat's meow! Sarah Palin in a Mexican prison for the next 50 years. Yep, that would MAKE MY DAY!
DeleteI expect right now this Marine is quite content to be in Mexico. I doubt there'll be a contingent of the Marine Band waiting to welcome him home. I think there are a number of truly honorable Marines who'd like to show him what happens when someone shames the Corps.
ReplyDeleteWith 100 grand bank he can live very well in a Mexican Prison until his money runs out. Especially if he has connections that like him in the controlling cartels.
DeleteI visited a Mexican Prison. You could go right to a cell. Something like 6 to 8 people lived in there but they were all accommodating. I saw someone shooting up. They can have prostitutes come in. They order American liquor and meals from nearby restaurants.
It is surreal and bizarre but there are ways that Americans can cope if they have the money.
I just hope Stain-lin keeps screeching her bullshite. Her fetid hot breath is drying her political cement shoes day by day.
ReplyDeleteSorry, all. When I posted about facing the Marine Corps on his return to the US from Mexico, I didn't know that the Sgt was no longer on active duty. Gryph, feel free to delete both posts.
ReplyDeleteSince the latest Palin is so full of compassion she should just gas up her RV and head down to the border. She can load up a bunch of those kids crossing the U.S. border and take them back to their parents. She could visit the jailed marine on her way. Sounds like a great reality show Sarah, don't forget to bring the camera's and cookies.. lol

ReplyDeleteDidn't The Old Seditious Maniac equate this rogue ex-Marine in lock up with the children from South America? My memory is vague but it seems in her mind it was connected to immigration. I don't know what to say about that ignorant woman. In goofy GOPPERS land they also equate him to Bowe Bergdahl. WTF?
ReplyDeleteMoronic woman.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that idiot! She's imploring President Obama, laying at his feet on her belly to get involved in something that's no concern of his whatsoever. She's been bashing him for years, and now she's asking for a little help releasing someone who left the United States, Entered another country and broke their laws.
ReplyDeleteIt's a crapshoot and it's just crappy crap, Sorry, dipstick, POTUS doesn't "do" crap, but thanks for trying.
Anyone interested should take a peek at the scientologist with the crooked face's page. She taped herself driving the same exact streets (How did she get that info?), and she demonstrates how difficult it is to read the signage -------- after breaking hard on dusty roadways. Poor thing had to actually raise the sunglasses off her nose and point to the general vicinity where he entered. She's a lawyer, and knows better not to illegally cross a boarder.
Here's an idea.....
Make history, Sarah! Carry a bunch of ammo and your pink handgun and show those mexicans how it's done!!!!
Dear Stupid Asshole Bitch,
ReplyDeleteThis is not a war situation. This is a case of someone breaking laws in a foreign country. Inadvertently or not, this guy screwed up and he has to deal with it. You already said he had an attorney and a good chance of winning, so what exactly would you require Obama to do? Military or not, do you REALLY think that because an American breaks the law in other countries, he/she should suffer no consequences? He/she should just announce he/she is an American, and therefore above foreign laws, and then the President is supposed to personally pick him/her up on Air Force One and fly him/her back home? Are you THAT MONUMENTALLY, DISMALLY STUPID that you think this is how things work?
And I doubt the Marine is suffering much, I think the Mexican government would be stupid enough to hurt one of our military people. So basically you're whining that adults being forced to deal with the consequences of doing something stupid, is your definition of "suffering". Yet you have no compassion for a prisoner of war who was kept in a fucking box for 2 years. Instead, you mock him and convict him (in your mind) of desertion and call for his punishment because you seem to think he hasn't suffered ENOUGH. You are a heartless, cruel, callous, dishonest piece of shit. America would like you to get fucking lost since you hate everything about it AND us. Treasonous BITCH.
