Deleting the whole DHS should be on the table.

Feels like it was staffed with a lot of authoritarians from its inception. Given the roots of the organization being a big reaction to 9/11.

I never bought that BS reasoning either though.

When we lived in upstate NY, they’d set up border search checkpoints on the highway 80 or so miles south of the Canadian border.

And the fact that the spots they chose were well known, defeated any real advantage to doing it.

Being a Michigan resident: I’ve been told that the entirety of the state is considered to be within that 100 mile radius, due to the Great Lakes being considered international waterways (?) or something like that. MSP area would fall into that as well probably, same reasoning.

Amen

I love our standard poodles so much!

I used to love winter. But I can tell I’m becoming an Old, because I wish it would go away already.

I’ve got sunny and warm things I’d like to do please.

I agree! I’m trying to satay away from as much AI as possible.

Super King Kong Mega Mega. And I love it.
