Department of Homeland Security: This law was intended to strip lying Nazis of citizenship, not tax paying Latino workers.

It prevents the problem of one party’s primary being the real election. Where I live the GOP primary is the real election. Republicans can avoid any issue conservatives don’t want to address. People win by running farther to the right in politically diverse districts that are 55:45 Republican:Democrat voters. People…

Their were black families with enough means to send their kids and they were shut out until 1976 when SCOTUS forced private schools to allow them in. They had lost their Federal funding before then and were operating entirely on tuition and donations and they were thriving. White people paid to not have black people…

Following integration of schools, many school districts saw their entire white student population moved into private, all-white schools within 2 years. By your reckoning, all those all-white private schools that were filling up were making a stupid business decision to exclude paying black customers. So why were those…

It is about averages. It is impossible to say a priori about any individual retiree, but on average you can confidently say older people trust the police more than younger people.

Which is why I wrote “mostly.” I served on a jury when I was 19. That does not change the demographics of the typical juror:

Juries are still mostly older, white retirees. By the time people who are skeptical of cops make up more of juries, they will say that was a bygone era and police are better now. You know, like law enforcement has always done. E.g., the FBI would never do to civil rights activists what it did in the bad old days of…

And that is fine to indicate an afterthought.

All conservative reporting is Red State and Daily Caller. It is all dishonest. Why? In order to broadly appeal to conservatives, you need to take the position that racism and sexism are not big problems and [what conservatives call] the free market provides the best solution to all problems. Note: not the best…

Or employers won’t hire you. The low wage sector, as far as I can tell, has almost nobody who cares about recommendations from prior employers. To pick a non-random example, not being able to get a job at a meat processing plant is not because you “suck” at it (I had experience and a good work record). They won’t even…

Yeah, the gun safety rule is “It is okay to point a gun at someone you don’t intend to shoot,” right? I mean, a person talking about the virtues of gun ownership would clearly never disregard basic gun safety, right? [/sarcasm]

The department claims that its arrests are driven by 311 and 911 calls, according to WNYC, but who is calling the police on people smoking weed?

Their software is highly deceptive. It tries over and over again to trick you into saying something that will block you from using free software. No, even if you go back and change your answers you will not be allowed to use the free software. When they call it free, they are lying.

These sites trick you. They will say “Is this true for you? You may be eligible for a deduction.” If you answer yes, they will force you to pay even if you are not eligible for the deduction. Even if you go back and answer no. I only got to file for free by lying. I said I paid no rent, paid nothing on education and…

’ll say it again because someone asked me to

I was reading a book on a specialized industry I might be employed in soon and it included advice for PE investors. The advice? Reward your most productive workers and they will remain productive. It is not wise in the long term to screw over your most productive workers and give advancement to opportunistic ass…

Um, the dad’s son was shot. It is not being a “cool” dad. It is being a “I don’t want my son to die and don’t want any other parent to go through my hell” dad.

Detention - n. the action of detaining someone or the state of being detained in official custody, especially as a political prisoner.

If you believe that increasing the deficit as a share of GDP is the same as not increasing the deficit as a share of GDP, then you will gladly sell me $150 for $100 of my dollars because they are the same. I’m done here.
