No, it does not mean that. Happily.

Please don’t be THAT ASSHOLE. Yes, that’s exactly what people are talking about. You can exist in legal immigration limbo for literally decades. Those are the people that live in hope and power our nation.

Thanks for the explanation. I’m not crafty, this is all a little over my head. :P

Hahaha, is it really? How can you tell?

Hang on. The resistance is stirring. Things are going to be very different after the midterms. In the meantime, we need our representatives to do nothing but resist. Not give up a yard of ground without a fight, not give up an inch. Put pressure on them, they will hear.

I asked the same question downthread. I have no good answer.

I forgot about that. Good point.

Well, Marines can’t. New York National Guard can, under certain circumstances.

Crossing a Rubicon, one might say?

Mayor de Blasio decried the executive order as “immoral” and vowed to fight the President tooth and nail.

Two out of three?

So, um, if there was widespread voter fraud, does that mean we get a do-over on the election? Asking for a friend named America.

A prohibition that has already been in place for decades. :eyeroll:

I still remember all the hypocritical republicans who voted against relief for Hurricane Sandy after they’d voted for disaster relief for their own states:

Spicer, to me, seems at first distinctly uncomfortable with the level of lies he’s being expected to peddle. He lacks Kellyann Conway’s smooth mercenary duplicity, he looks like he’s breaking out in flop sweat when every question from the press corps has the subtext “Why are you slinging this BS? Is this what we’re…
