Good point. The migrants are more than likely going to come regardless, trying to crack down on that isn’t going to have the effect they think it will. It won’t deter significant numbers of migants, and it certainly won’t give the anti-immigration people any warm fuzzies about the people that do want to come there.

Her comments are tone deaf, insensitive, and misguided.

The things that actually need to be done to keep the alt-right in check, the left is not willing to do.

That’s... actually not a bad idea.

Strictly speaking though, you don’t need to blog from NYC, right? You could blog from anywhere, meaning you could stretch that pittance of a bloggers salary Univision deigns to give you a bit farther. You could even live somewhere that winter tires aren’t a major concern.

An independent commission, made up of just Republicans and Democrats, with an odd number of members so there will inherently always be more of one or the other... Right, independent my ass.

But when you’re talking about two countries that are radically different, you’re literally comparing apple pie and churros using the raw numbers trying to make it seem like it’s worse than it is. When you take out suicides the majority of the rest of gun deaths are a result of gang violence or other criminal activity.…

I don’t need to know whether MBS knew of Khashoggi’s murder or ordered it himself to know that there’s a whole host of other reasons why we shouldn’t be in bed with fucking Saudi Arabia. As atrocious the murder of a journalist in their own consulate is, it’s but a drop in the bucket compared to all the other shit…

It’s one thing if the car is damaged because of the work you had done I suppose (though really I’d argue that anything related to work you contract them to perform should be covered by them if they stand by their work and parts used), but to have your car damaged because someone driving it fucked up and is at fault?…

At this point I’m just ready for it to be over. Trying to have it hanging over his head like some kind of Sword of Damocles is pointless because there is zero hope of convincing his base without evidence that can be presented publicly. Not that it would be easy to convince them anyway, but without anything concrete to…

What’s amazing is that even though it feels like Rudy Giuliani has been Trump’s lawyer for 37 years, I had completely forgotten that somehow Trump hasn’t fired him for one thing or another yet.

You can’t compare raw numbers, you have to look at the per capita murder rate. The US is 5.35 as of 2016, while Mexico is at 19.26, almost four times higher for the same year, with roughly a third the population. The violence is way worse in Mexico no matter which way you slice it. Mexico ranks 20th overall worldwide,…

Yeah, not all debt is inherently bad debt, and if someone is willing to give you a loan you can afford at less than inflation, that’s a good deal for you the borrower.

My score is about 780 right now. If I was in the market for a new car and they tried to come back and tell me I only had “good” credit, I’d walk right then.

I’m not sure exactly what you expected him to do with regards to the rampant violence, frankly. The local law enforcement officials that aren’t on the take usually end up dead before too long thanks to the cartels. As long as they are able to operate freely there’s no future in being virtuous for most of the people…

I’m worried about due process of law and adding more security theater bullshit to our lives that wouldn’t do a damn thing. No changes to the law that anyone is seriously proposing would have stopped this guy or any of the other guys before or since. There’s nothing to suggest taking this guy’s guns temporarily in 2006…

Maybe, or maybe it was sombody’s cousin who is “real good with computers” that set it up too. I don’t think we really know do we?

I’m not disputing that, and I’m not in favor of anyone in the government using private servers for official business. I was simply attempting to point out that physical location means nothing in terms of the security of the data. It’s either secured with good IT security practices or it’s not. The fact that she was…

The physical location doesn’t matter if it’s not secure and it’s connected to the internet. On the flip side, if it’s properly locked down you could literally have it in a public place and aside from someone being able to physically power it off or damage it, it wouldn’t matter.

While it’s obviously hypocritical, I’d argue that in terms of absolute terms of risk, Ivanka Trump probably had less direct access to classified material via email than Hillary Clinton did, for a much shorter time. Especially if nobody was sending her anything actually important. Which, I mean, it’s Ivanka fucking…
