I was going to say that this rule seems to be regarding Russian tyrants.
Then, I saw what you did there.

Completely in line with the general attitude that not allowing them to brutalize and discriminate against others is discriminating against them.
I’d say “Welcome to Bizarro world,” but you need to remember it is Bizarro World, so the appropriate response is GET THE F*CK OUT of bizarro world. Huh, still works.

I’ve got to know, first, the ornamentation. Was it there before? If not, what is it? It’s not real carved wood. I’m guessing it’s plastic and heat and pressure applied. There’s a company in Chicago, that makes that stuff. It’s called Decorators Supply
Second, the gold. That’s just paint and not real gilding.
Anyways, I’m horrified. That’s the people’s house, and he’s making into a place that even the French would find gaudy.

I trust that the ICE guys are doing CYA by falsely charging their victims with full knowledge of what they’re doing.
Since their colleagues and superiors are cooperating with them, it looks like a criminal conspiracy to me.
And, yes, it’s similar to Donnie and other prongs of right wing victim culture in that it setting up a pretext for the abuse they’re enacting.

Nancy will volunteer for the genital inspection duty at the Olympics, but she will need to agree to let Trump watch. Such sickness and depravity.

Not sure, but it’s possible a majority of undocumented immigrants reside in Southern states, or in states heavily dependent on their labor. And both of those cohorts are likely Republican dominated states. Excluding them from the census, in some measure, might benefit Dems more than the GOP, at least as to U.S. House races. Not that that is an ethical or moral argument for doing it.

We should all take this personally because mRNA technology is showing promise in the fight against colon cancer and advanced pancreatic cancer. This is beyond outrageous and is entirely despicable.

"President Trump says he’s instructed Commerce Dept to “immediately begin work” on a “new” census that excludes people living in the states without legal status from a count the 14th Amendment says must include “whole number of persons in each state”
Don’t worry…the same SCOTUS that is about to decree that a zygote is a “person” will also decree that already born, living, breathing, working, family-having, child-having human beings present in our country without permission are not “persons.”
Christianity is a lie. Religion is societal poison and will be the source of our species’ Darwin Award.

They always have to be a victim somehow. Not a straightforward " I want attention for my brilliant ideas. " - there’s twitter, facebook and youtube for a start, which are chock-full of women who very very reluctantly preen on camera and tell other women to be retiring and mute.
