I've been trying to ignore the planet. Did that idiot try to pardon a state conviction? Really? What a dummy.

My premiums are 13% of my pay, so yes? If you include the part the government pays it's probably closer to 50%. If they just give me all that money and take 15% for healthcare, that'd be kinda cool actually.

My absolute favorite car if anyone is looking for an Xmas present. Not sure I could get in it anymore, but it'd look nice in my driveway. My uncle was restoring a Grabber Orange one when he passed.

This is excellent. More of this please.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Can we start giving teachers & public defenders
overtime pay & $50,000 bonuses? πŸ€”

New Mexico has only 33% of the public defenders it needs to handle criminal cases. We are still short funding for 600 public defenders

Overtime & huge bonuses help with burnout

And her Nazi friends have already raised enough money for her to sit on her racist ass for a few years, if she doesn't piss it away, which I'm sure she will. Still pisses me off to no end while good people can't raise money for cancer treatments.

If the video was no big deal as Cotton claims, he should have an aide leak it.

These people gotta go one way or another when we take the country back. Back under their rocks, flee to Argentina, I don't give a fuck where, just gotta be gone.

A MAGA grandpa in Wyoming called 911 and told the operator to β€œcall ICE” on an Amazon delivery driver simply for speaking Spanish.

β€œThere’s this guy in front of my house who can’t speak English. You need to call ICE on him.”

The stupid FIFA honorable mention trophy told me this was probably real, but a large percentage of my brain cells are resisting that thought.

Does Tom know he has to make his own alcohol in prison? I mean, he could try to buy it, but even if he can it's gonna have piss in it.

I want to go back to comparing the people who run the country to my lawyer clients, not my convicted clients.

Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

As you listen to Cotton, remember he's a psychopath. Which is a term I generally hate and think is overused, but is applicable under the common understanding of the word. Of all my old clients, I had maybe 5 that were as callous to death as he is. These people are fucked up.

This one appears legit anyway. Extend this stuff to their private transactions as well if you happen to know of an off duty Nazi trying to eat, take a piss, or get gas.

"We knew he was a piece of shit racist idiot, but hey, we don't have to contribute to the society we've leeched billions of dollars from because we won't pay taxes *and* I can say stupid shit like this and be ten times smarter than the president of the United States. Can you believe it?"

WASHINGTON: β€œThis should shock the conscience”

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

This isn't new, although it's worse now because we've cut funding to the people who did help these kids and there's probably more of them, but not new. The system has always sucked, it's just taken the worst possible people to be in charge of it for people to notice.

Gonna guess that everyone in this country who wants drugs has no problem getting them despite our murderous attempts to stop them. So not only is this illegal, disgusting, and un-American, it's pointless like the rest of the drug war.

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.
