It will not, and it’s dangerous to get into that mindset. There are other things that cross the border besides migrants, and there will always be a market for illicit immigration routes, for everything from undocumented labor (it’s cheaper to hire people who have no permits, so it’s about two steps above slave…

Depending on what happens next week, I may be getting sad drunk.

One of the more frustrating features of this debate is the confluence of immigration with border security. The two items are certainly linked, but they are also two very different topics. The current treatment of immigrants and migrants is horrendous, but that is an issue of immigration law. Our immigration system is,…

Important heads up on the pot thing: just because it may be legal in the state doesn’t mean it’s legal on the federal level. If you know anyone going through the Naturalization process who likes to toke, make sure they stay away from that until they have their papers in hand! Then they can celebrate. 

Yes! And not even necessarily romantic love (even though I’m on the Jaime-Brienne train too, toot-toot). It’s just love: the affirmation and support of a person, and to hell with what anyone thinks.

...well, Gendry can always die. 

Only reason I wasn’t happy with the Arya scene is the same I wasn’t happy with Brienne’s scene: it’s waving a big red flag of what feels like upcoming, inevitable deaths that I am not emotionally prepared for in any way, shape, or form.

Speaking as a Texan, I'm disappointed in him. I wish he had stayed and started campaigning for Cornyn's seat: it would be a long shot, but given his established war chest, network, name, and the purpling of Texas, he would have had a real chance to take it...and unseat a far more insidious Senator than Cruz.

Do these cretins have any religious objections to their kids getting measles?

There's only two polls out of...like, thirty?...that put him above 50%.

I have so many questions now that stem from 'revolt at Girl Scout summer camp.'

Officer, stop that girl! She’s stealing the scene!

Remember that there are a lot more tools available to the House for oversight beyond impeachment. If anything, it might be worth watching two years of 45 spinning in place under the weight of investigations, lawsuits, special inquiries, special committees, and every other albatross and anchor they can throw at him.

Indeed. And you certainly deserve to be gentle with yourself for the foreseeable future. You’ll get there!

At what point is ANYONE going to mention that, of the 35 Jewish members of Congress, only 3 are not Democrats?

They are absolutely fine. I have no experience in bra shopping, but I am well acquainted with random spurts of tears from unexpected places. And you have had a tough, tough time: you are allowed to do what you need to do, and feel how you need to feel, to get your balance back. I wish you all the best in the world.

Damn it! That's so much better. Well played.

Mojitos, though!

Mint with tequila? Heresy! It should be a 'Your Lime is Now' flavor.

I may have to replace my bottle of Patron with this.
