This is why, when President Slurs McSundown passes away, it's going to be a battle royale as all these selfish grifters shank each other before the funeral is over.
see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really.

Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.
Anyone who knows this history should know there’s no contested issue.

One aspect of the "affordability" story that the great minds who write on this shit seem unable to see is that Trump and his rich friends are trying to end work from home and force people back to the office. This is equivalent to an 8% pay cut, but I guess that's too simple.

This is where most of us end up.
I have *zero* proof of citizenship because my parents has no proof because their parents have no proof and their parents have no proof… you have to go back to the early 1900s to find anyone in my family becoming naturalized.

Everyone after that got it by being born here: a birthright, if you will.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

It's worth remembering that Todd Blanche an Assistant U.S. Attorney at the SDNY for 9 years.

How many others like him have been in the DOJ for years?
Todd Blanche is now warning lawyers who criticize Trump's Justice Department:

The DOJ's No. 2 official suggested that lawyers might have a harder time winning lenient treatment for corporate clients if they've publicly accused the Trump administration of being lax on white-collar crime.

Great piece on the failure of centrist governments in the UK, France, and Germany to give voters anything to actually vote for and their fueling of the far-right by elevating its message, and the contrast that Spain offers.
