Really? Access to a time machine, and you think murder is the solution?

The son of a president-elect - especially one as controversial as Trump - is walking around NYC at night without security?

The new Deflategate.

Yeah... no. I mean, look, I’ll admit to downloading my fair share of music 15+ years ago when the landscape was very different. But we have a situation where services exist, you can pay $10-15 a month for unlimited plays of a functionally unlimited selection of music. There is literally more music available than you

Awesome! I’ll check it out again tomorrow; hopefully the site will be stable :)

Honestly? I worked at Johnson Space Center in September 2001, and quit shortly after because in those uncertain weeks, all I knew is that I didn’t want to work at a potential target. Remember, we didn’t know at the time what we were dealing with, and I was just a sysadmin - I could go anywhere. So I did.

Since it’s getting blown up and it’s basically unusable...

Of course I’m speaking in Trumpese. Those are the assholes who will be carrying this out. Couple more points:

What makes you think they’ll be bought before a judge? That’s how it works for citizens. Picture stop and frisk on a massive scale. “Hey, show me your I.D. No identification? Get in the car.”

Nearly every incumbent was just re-elected along with Trump. They no longer fear getting thrown out. This was the least popular Congress ever. Obstructionist, openly hostile toward Obama and the Democrats. And they not only survived, they thrived in the election last week.

Do the math as well.

By the time the legal challenges get up to the Supreme Court, Trump will have stacked the Court.

Exactly. I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that if they think Congress will temper Trump’s desire to throw out 11 million people, or that it’s “physically impossible”, think again. Roosevelt, with the stroke of a pen, rounded up 120,000 Japanese-Americans in the 40's and put them in camps using the United

The same way Roosevelt rounded up 120,000 Japanese-Americans in 1942 and put them in internment camps: he’ll use the power of the Executive Order and his position as Commander in Chief to have the military carry it out.

Here’s the thing I don’t think Ryan understands: Trump doesn’t need Congress to do whatever the fuck he wants about setting up a deportation force.

You’re right, we don’t. Which brings us back to my original point in all this: we have to do our own research. We have to get the facts for ourselves. When the media reports something, we need to follow-up on our own, and we need to spread truth, not guesses. We live in an era where the whole of human history, from

I don’t think you remember his first campaign very well if you think that’s all they hit him with. And you certainly don’t remember his second.

It’s not a matter of caring about the Bush administration, or about the other guy doing something worse. The narrative was that Clinton did something that no other Secretary of State ever did and that she should be jailed for it.

You started this. You opened up this thing by defending your statement with “I’m comfortable guessing [...]”

Sorry, I like the dark gray and dark red combo. They do work together.
