Meanwhile, Biden can't stop plagiarizing.

Planning was quite bad - but sounds like they did as well as possible - and happy reunions in the end.

Headlines would have you believe kids were in a hot van for 37 hours and had no happy ending.

Look at the prices of hostels in Rome, Italy, this is what California needs, tons of hostels for $15.00 per night.

If people could take a shower and sleep in a bed for $15.00 per night, then that would really help the homeless.

Salute,

Seems no one here cares about the Va Beach massacre either.

Statutory is the max. Customarily defendants get less unless they get pegged with something really egregious.

The lesson I got from the Aussie model story was that if you go to an Aussie doctor, he or she will try to medicate you into violent black-out fits. Very disappointing. They probably need more refugee immigrants in their med schools.

Much of bambuland country seems to be depressed and on Prozac or similar. No wonder, there's a long list of reasons. 

It’s because of your #1 radio host.

Nah, he's trying to do something about it...words of wisdom he speaks.

. Mortgage stress.
. Jobs being sent overseas at express pace by large corporations.
. Jobs being lost because of greedy companies wanting to make exorbitant profits.
. Jobs being lost to automation...large distribution centres are all being automated.
. 'Waltzing matilda' will soon be the norm, as millions of unemployed 'swagpeople' roam the countryside like Johhny Rambo did. [cop wouldn't even let him into town to have a meal.]
. Electricity prices totally ridiculous...'climate change' subsidies ...baaah. Used to be 'global warming', then when they realised the globe heats and cools itself they changed it to 'climate change'.
. Stagnant wages, increasing prices.
. etc
. No places like Waco Texas, where you can get a good job and a very nice home for $250,000.

Who did this guy attack? Did he go into synagogue, mosque or church?

Sad to say until proven otherwise this horror seems to an incident that used to be called, “Going postal.”

I’m sorry you’re disappointed.

Mind you, I think it is a bad idea to do it on a state by state basis. But your reason for arguing it's constitutionality is off.
Bad idea that is blatantly unconstitutional.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Actually, that goes for both "blatantly" and "unconstitutional." Your only argument, as always, is repetition, because you have no clue what the argument you poached from was actually arguing.

I on the other hand shamedly admit the monumental and unforgivable error staring at me from the middle of the second quoted sentence. I could blame autocorrect, but what is the point? I am going to have to go Faye Dunaway/Joan Crawford on my own ass. No possessive of it with an apostrophe! EVER!
I didn't "poach" anything.  I quoted the Governor and added my opinion that the Compact Nevada was trying to join would be held unconstitutional.

An opinion that you cannot support from the Constitution.

I showed you the section of the Constitution that is at issue and you could not identify anything in it that would preclude the proposed change.
You posted the 12th Amendment ,ratified in 1804, which simply cleared up the procedure of electing a President and Vice President should a majority not be reached in the Electoral College.

That was part of what I posted.

Headlines would have you believe kids were in a hot van for 37 hours and had no happy ending.

They were in the van because the vans were air conditioned. They were in air conditioned vans because there was no where for them to go for damn near two days. Because the responsible agencies created huge problems for them selves.

You’re defending a huge clusterfuck that happened because the administration banked on no one noticing there was no plan.

Big picture, dude.

This Administration CREATED the “crisis” at the border. Immigration systems sucked before but damn! Don’t “what about Obama” this shit, either.

The cruelty is the point. They’re trying to see just how much evil shit good people will take.


Dehumanizing people is how it starts... and you’re down with it.

If deputies are going to be held accountable for deaths in school shootings, and sentenced to 102 years in prison because of inaction as bullets are flying inside...their own death mostly likely certain...then they must be attired in SWAT gear, and security systems/physical barriers installed to stop guns being taken into schools.

In hindsight, he might think he should've gone in...because if he didn't he'd be dead anyway by the time they'd be finished with him.
