The NFL is just a different class of people. Sorry.
Remember Zac Stacy? And the home video of him slamming his girlfriend into the wall and then onto their baby's stroller? Then he fled the jurisdiction? He got six months in jail for a beating that could have easily killed her.

Most likely. But the only certainty I'm willing to bet on is at some point in the next few days the ass clowns on MSNBC are going to nod in agreement that the whole thing is Trump's fault.
The commentary shows likely won’t talk about it. The PM resigning will make world news amid talk of “small civil war” and similar euphemisms we hear about coups in third world shitholes.
No mention that Haiti is actually an almost pure experiment in decolonization.

Liberal white women will watch videos of cannibal voodoo gangs from Haiti and straight face tell you we should import them to America.
And Republicans will still insist the universal franchise is a good thing and exactly what America needed. -
The government doesn’t give them those things, just the government-funded NGOs lmao

LEGAL immigration hard at work here ⬆️
Not only is nearly all legal immigration to the states unneeded, but recently it’s simply become a game that the dishonest win more effectively than the honest.

Hilarious that something that was this obviously correct got like a full two weeks of media coverage of outrage.-

That’s the point. If immigrants actually offered any benefit to Americans the regime would make sure that the first twenty miles of Mexico across the border looked like Gaza right about now.-

Period.
Is he wrong, in that specific instance?If Trump had actually followed through on his campaign promises regarding the border no amount of ballot harvesting and 4am box dumps would have been able to overcome the incredible majority that would have pulled the lever for him. It was all over by SOTU 2018.

Common Gen X L here. Anti-white animus had been gathering steady steam for over three decades by 1998. That they didn’t notice is a failing that’s extremely fitting given the Gen X stereotypes out there.-

Just saying that that is confusing too. Maybe (probably) immigration law should be simpler. Legal or illegal, no gray area.
But that Venezuelan killer was in a gray area - authorized to come in and stay, but without valid immigrant or nonimmigrant status.
Back in the Reagan amnesty days there was an awful bureaucratic acronym: PRUCOL. For "permanently residing under color of law."
Yeah, it's really messy. And it is fair to blame Biden for allowing it to get even messier. Irv himself would recoil in horror at the mess.
It's really just our code in writing for what we actually say in person. It's gobbledygook for a reason.

Off point, but a little info from someone who's worked on cases involving crimes committed by "illegal aliens."
We don't use the term "illegal alien." We really never did. Not out of fear of being called a racist (nobody complained about racist implications until fairly recently), but because it is too vague for lawyers to use. There's the classic "illegal alien" - sneaked across the border undetected. They are usually called something like EWIs ("eewees," for "entered without insepction.") There's visa overstays, which the general public wouldn't call "illegal aliens" but that's what they are. (In the trade they are called, not surprisingly, "overstays") There are people like the Venezuelan who apparently killed Laken Riley. He was "paroled in" to allow him to apply for asylum. He's not a classic "illegal alien," so people in law enforcement would probably call him a border parolee or something like that.
Just if people are curious. There's many flavors of aliens present in the United States, many of whom were authorized to enter and to stay until something happens (an asylum application is finally decided) or for a period of time (until they complete a degree, or for 90 days, etc.)
"No lawful immigration status" for everyone who can't produce documentation here. Not in the business of prosecuting immigration law so we don't bother with all the official terms unless there's a criminal warrant sworn out by ICE or active detainer in place.

I mean, yeah, I guess he blew it (kind of mumbled it), but it is an unorthodox name ...
I was actually heartened to hear the ad libbed "illegal" in his speech. I know people in the immigration enforcement agencies who have been told that that word is forbidden in any of their briefs/memos. So too is "alien" - a perfectly normal word that means "foreign national." The term "alien" as used to mean space aliens was just a shorthand way of saying "foreign being from somewhere other than earth." So it was never like we were comparing ordinary foreigners to nonhuman space beings.
All of it is silly, and the cranky old man used the proper cranky old man term.
Biden was once a formidable demagogue with all the blue collar old-school working class Dem credentials. Many have forgotten. But illegal, alien, thug, etc. were all once part of his weekly vocabulary on the hill and, as old men tend to do, he occasionally drops back into old verbiage.-

on a dollar to dollar comparison of what teachers can make vs what is available in the private sector (especially in fields of science and math as an example) the disparity is quite big. If you want to attract quality it seems logical you need to pay better. I'm not saying that there are those called aren't to be teachers. as a profession. I've had some Great ones. The main gripe I hear is the endless tedious paperwork necessary on top of all the lesson planning/ usual teacher duties
the bolded absolutely.
I mean, sometimes. NYS is an outlier but it's the only one I know. Their (and their families') health insurance is paid for, pension, fee-free deferred comp, tenure, etc. are all worth something. But a bachelor's degree only gets you so far (they do need a master's in either education or, if they're a specialized instructor, their specialization) and the same argument is made on behalf of every public servant to justify increasing their pay. Including those in my field, though many of them couldn't find similar total compensation in the private sector as there aren't many analogues, so it tends to fall flat to me.

greetings PPP
I walked in and out of the room where hubby and daughter were intently watching the debate. Randomly I walked by and heard Biden say something along the lines of we need to pay teachers more. I thought to myself "now that issue is beyond debate right? mutually agreement right?"
NOPE
our country is so divided. My chat buddy @leh-nerd skin-erd knows it gives me high anxiety. I love my country but the political climate REEKS of hate
and I hate it.
PEACE OUT BRETHREN CITIZENS
Lord have Mercy
I guess the follow up question would be, where? Teachers in NYS average 87k last I knew. A steady climb on that for the last 25 years, whilst student performance continues to decline.
There’s more to that than teachers though.

Fun fact: before he caught HIV, his daily “HIV medicine” could have been simply a pre-exposure prophylactic (PreP) that costs the taxpayers $2,000 per month for him alone. You subsidize guys like this bathhouse ***** to the tune of $2,000 per month. Oh, and every other catamite who wants it, to the tune of billions of dollars per year.
And that’s not to mention his antiretrovirals. Lord only knows

A friend and his family adopted a shelter pit bull mix. Friendly, happy dog. That's what they said. So as a dog lover I started petting him in a normal way and two of them in unison say something like, "I wouldn't do that." He'd bit the last person who did the same thing. No serious injury, but drew blood. (They no longer have the dog.)
My question: why don't people file down their teeth? After all, a lot of dogs nip and even bite. The problem is the "pittie" (kind of an attempt to cutify them) can seriously hurt or kill you when they do it. When I suggested this, people acted like I was Dr. Mengele. But really ... why not go all Hermie in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on them, de-toothifying the Abominable Snowman? Isn't a live/happy/relatively harmless pittie better than no pittie at all?
The capability to murder is part of the
