WaPO is currently running this red "Breaking News" Banner on the site's front page: Breaking: Trump officials reverse guidance exempting farms, hotels from immigration raids. Sadly the link does not go anywhere yet. If the Taco has ReTaco'd, do you get a Chimi?

It's probably in the US interest that they get a deal while Israel is still on the offensive - once Iran thinks Israel is done it will be harder to get Iran to deal.

Another stupid conflict, generated in whole by the Ayatollahs need to whip up domestic political support and their attempts to build a proxy empire. There had been no historical animosity between Iran and Israel until after the Iranian revolution.

If you ask me, if we let have let you live in this country and work and pay taxes for 5 yrs and the US gov hasn't deemed it worth its while to find you or stop your employer from employing you, you should be guaranteed a route to citizenship.

Exactly. With Trump and Miller, the GOP is the dog that caught the UPS Truck. TPTB don't want numbers deported, they only want the show and the issue with the proles.

My point is that merely arbitrarily deporting people doesn't get you any closer to fixing the broken system. The country has a decision to make if it's going to maintain any moral consistency. We must either stop employers from hiring illegals (and bear the cost increases that will follow), which would pretty much end the influx of economic refugees (the vast majority) in about 10 minutes, or we legalize the people that are here and set up a system that gives enough people to keep agriculture or whatever else that need to keep going a way to come here and become citizens. Everything else is 🐮💩

but that's the joke isn't it. I'm a poor Salvadoran and my command of the US legal system is a little shaky - explain to me how I go to work everyday, get paid, my employer actually wants to employ me exactly because of who I am and is celebrated in the economy for it. I move completely freely - the government even takes my taxes. All this on one hand - but over here on the other hand I am an illegal person? How exactly does this work. When the whole economy aids, abets, encourages, even supports people to be doing what they are doing and then holds a legal club over their head (deportation) to be used only if they upset the system by any kind of assertion of dignity, you tell me which side is abusing any consistent concept of law or equal justice?

Nah, running against old candidates in not running against old people. Even old people don't like old candidates - they know better than anyone that younger people are more up to the job.. She's working against a compromised jerk in Cuomo. I don't have any problem with that. AOC's problem isn't that she wants younger people in the party, its coming up with a politics that will do that - particularly for young men.

what ever happened to Hippocrates?

Not that missing Bouchard is particularly less painful.

There is an obvious symmetry staring us in the face that we Americans simply refuse to acknowledge, which is that in the 17th and 18th centuries we solved the problem of supplying labor to industries that did not want to pay fair wages by simply enslaving people, which from an economic standpoint is only a step or two different from exactly what we are doing today - bringing people into the economy without legal rights so they can be paid less than citizen rate wages. Illegal immigration is providing the same economic benefit to the economy that slavery did and for the same reasons. We now give the person individual freedom which is certain the first step in the right direction, but maintain a depressing similar system of economic exploitation. How is "But food will cost more!" any better moral justification for living better at the expense of someone else's human rights than it was in 1860?

QFT. The situation in American immigration has been created by American Business interests, just as the dissension over immigration in Germany was created by business interests there. We could have an orderly immigration and naturalization system but for the greed of American Business that doesn't want to pay the wages that people with rights would command. This truth cannot be shouted enough times from enough rooftops. It is, was, and continues to be a foundational lie of GOP politics.

you could hope for a turn as a giant tortoise. Spend your whole long life taking your time....

I think temper tantrum is exactly the paradigm for analyzing Trump in general.

Notice the friend suspects this was triggered by unemployment desperation - which is a symtom of a society with insufficient social support structures. Despite the prevalent American myth, the human organism is not constructed to thrive in a dog-eat-dog society. We evolved as a cooperative species, and when a society forgets that, or tries to, as ours has, you can expect the mental health of its members to suffer for it.

Zadina used to have the occasional game where he was active enough that you knew he was one the ice. Just not many.

So if it's only that nobody actually learns how to play the game before they get there because of one-and-done, then you'd still expect to see good players emerge from later in the draft but a few year's experience. Or is it just impossible to improve enough as player once in the league?

can't see anything happen there.

This one for me also. Who loses a play-off game in which they don't even give up a TD?

It just seems bizarre to me that 300+ Div1 college basketball program don't produce 30 NBA quality players in a year.

this one maybe?

Estimates between 5K and 7K for the rally in A^2. Police had closed a bunch of streets downtown.

maybe I missed it but one thing I didn't see in the WaPo story was a crowd size estimate...... TBF, the coverage on DC parade was below the coverage of the protests and both were below the ME news.

LOL - I knew there are a lot of statics around, but keeping obsolete tanks in condition to run down the street on the Mall takes a second level of obsession (or some Russians - 🤣). Am I correct that Shermans were usually gasoline fueled? - That's at least less expensive engine up-keep than keeping old diesels running.

who the heck keeps a piece of WW2 ordinance running? Is there some group out there that reconditions old tanks like the Yankee Airforce had once refurbed a B17?
