I think they do criminal background checks in the opposite way most employers do.

"Sinners" is so much more than a horror movie.

People understand that the real monsters aren't the vampires, right?

To explain: When you come in from out of state to represent someone, you have to get a local counsel to sponsor you in "Pro Hac Vice." That's what Abbe Lowell et al are doing for Don Lemon.

The guy who is sponsoring them in is the lead prosecutor who quit bc Pam Bondi is so corrupt.

It's not even a First Amendment issue. The Senators were telling the armed forces to _obey the law_.

This is a message the Executive Branch should welcome. (And ordinarily would.)

Their feigned outrage is based on the fact that this advice _is necessary_ given the pattern of illegality.

They have no other strategy. Their only strategy left is to discredit elections, so they don't have to face any more.

They clearly see themselves as beyond voter accountability.
It's their only hope.

The main organizing principle is hating people.

I've been saying for a long, long time that Clinton didn't win by going to the center, he won because H. Ross Peror financed a campaign whose mission was to prevent a second Bush term.

Also, any analysis that praises 1992 but decides to ignore 1994 is telling.

Trump is all about retrograde policies in all walks of life.

Misplaced nostalgia is a terrible basis for government policy.

But it's a great way to bring back measles.

Schumer and company don't really believe in the rule of law as a guiding principle.

Seems pretty obvious by now.

Jesus, Politico, do some journalism for a change.

"Judicial warrants" are "warrants"

"Administrative warrants" are not.

The Executive Branch doesn't have the power to simply take over the functions of the judiciary. Copying the name is not a serious Constitutional approach.

Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year

Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

Stephen Miller is Grima Wormtongue. He's the source of the hugely exaggerated numbers. And Trump believes them, so they guide their policy.

Ravens at +1200 shows how many people are in denial.

Minnesota doesn't have a border problem.

They have Somali immigrants. They's why Trump targeted them. Ilhan Omar.

Yes, this has nothing to do with border security. I don't think anybody is seriously arguing that it does.

To White People Tired of Being Called Racist, From Another White Guy, Yesterday, a Trump supporter dropped a lengthy, rambling, profanity-laden diatribe into my comments section, lecturing me for implying that MAGA is inherently a white supremacist movement.

That tracks.

A wildly illegal plan but they plan to push it through regardless.

Way too fancy of an answer.

God, Jeffries is awful. How do you screw up this question, on the heels of Trump posting the Obama video?

Is Trump a racist?

YES!

It can do that. Measles does a number of the immune system in general. I think it can recover, but not 100%, and it could take a year or two.

Basically, if you get measles, you should check with a doctor to see your immunity levels for everything else.

The propaganda is much stronger than it was four years ago. The billionaires have been systematically dismantling our news media.
