Guy's being praised as a martyr of the cause. A genuine Horst Wessel, apparently.

Russian POWs from 1941. So she's trying to tell us the "migrants" are actually capture soldiers? Yes, we are. I'm exactly the type that gets sent to the guillotine.

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/tacoma-police-armed-man-throwing-incendiary-devices-shot-outside-ice-detention-center/ Guy tried to firebomb the ICE detention center in Tacoma, to prevent deportation round-ups. He was shot and killed. *****'s starting to get pretty sporty.

I'm not promoting myself. I'm genuinely surprised. It's probably because I'm either a solipsist or sociopath (depending on how generous you want to be), and people aren't truly real to me, so I can manipulate them easily.

Asylum seekers have a year to fill out the I-589 after entering the country, too. It's important to know that the asylum application you found is a USCIS form. USCIS grants "products" to immigrants - DACA, permanent residency, citizenship, TPS, etc. It is not involved in border enforcement, though - that's CBP. And CBP handling of asylum seekers crossing the border is different, and unrelated to USCIS. That's where a lot of the confusion comes in. CBP's process of detainment for hearing is unrelated to the USCIS petition for asylum. CBP's process is more analogous to an ex post facto visa application allowing temporary residency for the asylum seeker to request asylum. No one is actually "granted asylum" at the border, though...because CBP is responsible for the border, and does not grant asylum. USCIS grants asylum...but is not responsible for the border. Yes, it's actually pretty screwed up. CBP handles the border; USCIS handles residency, asylum, and citizenship; INS handles deportations. And Justice runs the immigration courts, State grants visas (though USCIS handles some of the visa applications). HHS is responsible for child detention and child care. And FBI, Transportation, CIA, and DoD have various fingers in various immigration pies. It's a cockamamie system badly in need of legislative reform...that we'll not get, because both sides of the aisle would rather perpetuate the problem for election politics than fix it.

That only makes it clear you didn't actually read the thread.

I hope it's Swalwell. Can't get enough of his campaign.

The two people on my team under 30 are two of my best performers. Of course, I've cut the dead weight by now, e.g. the guy who wanted credit for showing up on time, even though he did nothing. But I did have a guy today, probably just 30...I changed up the way my team works about two months ago, for reasons not worth getting in to. It resulted in him having more work and more responsibility. He told me today that he was really pissed when I did it, because he'd actually have to do something, but he discovered he's enjoying his job more because he's doing stuff. Believe it or not, I'm shockingly skilled at managing people. Even millennials. I haven't yet called anyone an idiot.

Coincidentally, so is telling them to get vaccinated against diseases that can easily kill them. Funny ol' world, inn'it?

1) The road to Area 51 - well, there isn't one. The nearest one, however, is an undeveloped dirt road. It's not like a few hundred thousand people are driving there. 2) There's no infrastructure. It's 75 miles of empty dirt road. The only town is Rachel, Nevada, population 54. 3) Even if they get there, and somehow survive just being there...it's about a 20 mile walk from Rachel to Groom lake through the ***** Nevada desert. This is the best idea ever. I'm excited for it.

I'm not everyone.

At that age, hell yeah. They don't yell, don't tell, rarely swell, and are grateful as hell.

The color is "salmon."

1) Everyone's an idiot. 2) If you disagree, see rule #1.

So the guy's pulled over in possession of a gun, an open bottle of whiskey, a rattlesnake, and enriched uranium. And he's only charged on the whiskey? Interesting...

That article - and the first picture - makes me curious... Has anyone ever been acquitted who's had to wear a bullet-proof vest to his own trial?

Pretty sure it's manslaughter, to respond to car theft with deadly force. Kidnapping, though...deadly force is totally allowed.

Actually, I think it'll end awesomely. And begin awesomely. I want to see a half-million people march through the ***** desert to storm an air base.

Yes, but electoral representation is not one of them.

No, she's too skeletal and stupid. Give her half a brain and 20 lbs, and she might be attractive.

Do you have any idea how unbelievably ignorant you have to be to say that? Nine years promoting the ACA, and you STILL have no idea how it actually works.

Nothing. I was just being all ironical and such.

Declining influence? Most people, if not by name, know of Carroll, as "the most recent Trump accuser." You couldn't say the same about Mollie Hemingway. That's the media's influence.

It's "unbuildable" under federal labor guidelines and OSHA regulations. But it's pretty easy to get around those by hiring migrant labor...
