Oh, that person is way too alpha for therapy.

I would think that all of the school officials could be brought up on charges of failing to report as mandatory reporters.

I got an MS in a STEM field and wasn’t able to buy a house until I was 36, supervising multiple employees, and married to someone who also contributed.

How the fuck is Kid fucking Rock still relevant in any way? I thought he would have just disappeared into obscurity after the 90s ended. Do some people actually still give this guy their money for some reason?

Edit: How the hell does the “ba with the ba with the bang da bang diggy diggy - diggy said the boogie said up drop the boogie” guy have eleven studio albums? And who the hell are the 5.3M monthly listeners on Spotify? This blows my mind!

I hope the lawyers keep quitting and no one replaces them until this administration has been tossed in the trash. I worry that if lawyers with consciences don’t come back, though, their positions will be filled by sycophants. I also worry that once the Democrats take back over they will be unwilling to fire the new right-wing sycophants.

Even if true, $1B is nothing in the federal budget. The federal goverent spends $1.9T on heath care costs.

The ICE budget is $37.5B. So, if it were true that $1B is being spent on health care for undocumented immigrants, one year of the ice budget could pay for it for nearly 40 years.

They’re also holding up shutdown negotiations by not passing anything new that the senate can work with. They’re basically saying “do a clean CR or nothing”.

While it isn’t the full motive for the shutdown, part of the motive is likely avoiding release of the Epstine files. Currently, only one more “yes” vote is required in the House of Representatives to pass a resolution calling for the release of the files. There is a new member of the House who was elected in Arizona but she hasn’t been sworn in yet. The Speaker of the House has been delaying swearing her in for two months and has essentially shut down the House to avoid the issue. In the mean time, this means that the House is doing literally nothing to end the ongoing government shutdown.

I don’t get something here. How do they have a facial recognition database that is accurate enough to even begin to attempt this? Yes, most Americans have some form of photo ID but many of those IDs don’t require updating the photo more than once every 10 years. Also, not everyone has a ohoto ID. How can they possibly think this database is good enough to use for determining who should be arrested?

Beyond that, ICE has stated that they are trusting the database even over actual documentation. They say the database doesn’t lie, even if you have documentation saying otherwise…

I’m not trying to be snarky, actually wondering. What sources do you approve of?

And now I’m going to go research the independent because I had no idea about their relationships.

Maybe show them this… The supreme court is considering whether to hear a case that could be used to reverse it’s gay marriage decision from 2015.

This is true almost everywhere in the US.

I always see “did not find”

So, escalation it is, then. I’m guessing this guy was the voice of relative calm and had pushed back on too many times.

I mean, have they won any special elections since they took over the government? It seems like a lot of elections are flipping but maybe that’s selection bias.

Have Republicans won anything recently?

Can we ban the Daily Beast? They are nothing but clickbait. Their headlines are always hyperbole.

In this case, some protesters interrupted Trump’s speech. He stood quietly, waited for the protesters to be escorted out, then pursed his lips and said “That was very efficient … Now, back to Steve (the man he was praising before the interruption.”

I don’t like Trump. He should be in prison for many reasons. We don’t need lies and hyperbole polluting the narrative. He does enough awful things without making shit up.

Fuck the Daily Beast. They’re as bad as anything on the right.

The problem is the people standing around don’t want to become victims themselves. I was wishing they’d do more through the whole video but, if they did, they’re running the risk of a 20+ year prison sentence.

That said, I think there is plenty of plausible deniability here. There is nothing to say these two are actually officers. Only one of them is in “uniform” and that uniform is something anyone could buy.

a violation of the Presidential Records Act

Fucking DO SOMETHING THEN!

Until Trump faces some consequences for doing illegal shit it doesn’t matter what the law says. Trump is above the law and that needs to change.

Sorry, but savory jellos are just not something I have any interest in. Jello with hard-boiled eggs are a hard “no” for me.
