Classified with a (c), you say?

But would that remove him from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, so that they could theoretically get back to actually doing something... anything...?

For the world to see, and to intimidate any internal opposing factions. Nothing like putting the fear of your supposed strength into any dissidents.

Still astounding that that wasn’t enough to start up impeachment proceedings. If Hillary or Obama or Bill had gone and done that, I would wonder how fast proceedings could possibly have been brought, and by how many.

This bad thing enables these groups to do these other bad things. One of these groups does these other bad things, the other currently doesn’t. We don’t trust either to not do these other bad things, so this bad thing needs to stop. But comparing both groups as equally bad because of just this one thing is to ignore…

Watching this season’s finale made me cautiously optimistic, then unreasonably sad, then cautiously optimistic. I’m not sure what that says about me, but I think it means the show is still working, for me...

Mostly up to Ryan, I think... not sure he cares.

Deuteronomy, you say?

... and protection against wolves / coyotes that may infringe on the property. Or bears. A heavy revolver or long guns are generally best for those cases, but rarely (never?) an extended magazine or semi-auto weapon.

Not this guy, right?

Not ICE, but Border Patrol...

My take is that they assisted the tea party and the southern secessionists in their goal, not the other way around. It wouldn’t have been possible to have done it so cheaply without so much of the groundwork having already been laid.

Other than individual states attempting to institute recalls (its own path towards a constitutional crisis), or the House itself kicking members out (about on the same level, given how pervasive those that refuse to do their actual job have become), or the next round of federal elections...

This blurb made me gnash my teeth... no right to counsel? Really?

It would be fitting if the money came directly out of the ICE budget, I suppose.

Whoops. Too many Kennedys.

Ugh. Anti-vax is not a good position to take if one wants to stand for actual facts.

Currently, possibly due to backlogs from the arrests, courts that handle the cases being nearly at capacity (not enough judges getting submitted for appointment?), and fewer attempts at coming in in the first place (accelerating rate of decline over the past year, though it had been declining for a few years?)

Executive time?

“done so well for themselves”... how does the line of reasoning go for why Asian-American actors aren’t paid anywhere near as well as their co-stars (or corporate executives, lawyers, etc.) I really never followed that line, to hear out the arguments, un?fortunately.
