DC Tom

Nice kulak reference. Saw a Jacobin reference today, too. Nice to see that people are starting to see the progressive wing of the party for what it really is.

Because E-Verify is still relatively new, is not mandated (Obama tried to get its use mandated, and failed), and several states absolutely forbid its use. And it's notoriously unreliable, in no small part because it relies on an immigration system that's unreliable (I know one story where a naturalized citizen was denied work because after he received his Certificate of Naturalization from USCIS, the State Department failed to inform ICE that he was naturalized, so DHS denied the I-9. How *****-up a bureaucracy is that, that the State Department has to notify DHS of what another DHS branch is doing?) This story is not nearly as black-and-white as reports make it out to be.

The governor executes and upholds the law...and again, in this authoritarian day and age...

Northrop explained that it does.

Because the Hippocratic Oath is binding, with serious penalties attached.

It should be noted that "the bill" and "the governor's interpretation of the bill" are not the same thing. It should also be noted that, no matter what the bill says, the governor's interpretation is worrisome in a culture that currently believes in "the law is what I say it is" authoritarianism.

That's awesome. Complaining simultaneously that Trump illegally hires and fires illegal aliens.

It's good to live off the taxpayers' dime. It's bad to work your way out of it.

Or her income.

No...just...don't...

The governor's statement, however, is exactly as salacious as being reported.

***** Vogons.

"African-American op." Whatever.

Yeah, I actually heard someone this afternoon refer to this as the "Obama Recovery." Summer of Recovery X: We Didn't Do It, Somebody Else Made It Happen!

It's a decent dactylic meter, until the end. Better than his usual poetry jam *****wittery.

I don't remember any. And if there were, they'd be somewhere in the Congressional record.

"Thataway."

That's not funny. Stealing CNN training videos and posting them without permission. What's so funny about that?

He declined medical attention, so he was resting comfortably because they weren't poking and prodding him. Duh.

"This is the coldest it's been in a generation! this is proof of a millennial-scale change in climate!" It actually is. At the risk of oversimplifying...if you put energy into an oscillatory system, the oscillations become larger in amplitude. If you put it into a metastable oscillatory system, it becomes unstable yada yada yada

The first two and the fourth are not unusual in an assault. (Nor is the third...but that's not evidentiary.) Again: I'll judge when the facts are in, of which there are currently none.

Pending discussion between service providers and parents.

Catholics.
