I havenβt heard any news of any criminal activity involving production of counterfeit REAL IDs. Is it a problem? Brushing off a personβs REAL ID as fake then detaining that person is unlawful if the REAL ID is not analyzed and proven to be fake.

I think the main reasons trump would try to stay in power beyond the 2 term limit would be to avoid any civil or criminal prosecutions and to continue his ability to corruptly use the office of POTUS to increase his familyβs wealth.

He might be the fattest in the city limits of Anchorage. Chunk won the fat bear contest at Katmai Natβl Park. FWIW, my wife and I were married at the bear viewing platform at Brooks Falls in Katmai in Aug 1984, so it is always cool to view the bears gathering there on explore.org webcams.

Re: Undocumented people βgetting free healthcareβ
Itβs more like βHospitals are paid w FEDERAL π° for keeping them alive when they show up to an ER for lifesaving care.β
Itβs the HOSPITALS that get paid, not the undocumented people. Bc they have to/should follow FEDERAL EMTALA laws.

That cam was attached to a log holding up a bird bath 30 ft behind the house. Anchorage has almost all buildable zoned space built on now. My place is on the hillside in a neighborhood at 1000 ft elevation about 2/3 of a mile from Chugach State Park boundary.

It is now *factual*βjournalistically sourcedβthat with the use of the soft nuclear option in the Senate, new recission games, broken promises on judicial nominations, lies told by GOP leaders to America and more, the GOP is *not* to be treated, by *anyone*, as in good faith.
