Great old school breakfast place. Hope they open back up soon.
The catch is the courts say what is official and unofficial. A president could then remove Supreme Court members and replace them with ones who agree that such a removal is official and therefore legal.
Is it wrong to wish that Biden would immediately drone strike the justices that are in the majority for this decision?
That reminds me of a job I did where it had been cold and rainy all day. My manager said they couldn't use a bunch of photos we took with me in them for the report because I looked too miserable.
Maybe they are dropping the first and last letters from MAGA.
"America Great!!!"
A guy who has never held office anywhere, isn't a Democrat, and believes the free market will fix climate change should be the Dem candidate? He's not a serious option.
I will admit I love his "Ellis Island" style immigration, but that would be immediately disqualifying for exactly the kind of centrist and never-Trumper people we need to win over.
Crush up some dried porcini mushrooms and add it to the gravy. Maximum savoriness.
It doesn't matter who you or I will vote for. People that understand the danger of Trump would vote for a ham sandwich. What matters is who swing voters and never-Trumpers will vote for.
Most of them would never vote for anyone from California because that state is synonymous with the worst problems of the left. They would also never vote for Whitmer because she is a self described progressive (and let's be honest, being a woman doesn't help with more traditionally minded centrists).
Jared Polis would be ideal, although I would bet unfortunately being gay and Jewish would hamper him. His type of politics is exactly what we need to appeal to those toying with the idea of Trump.
Getting a dog has helped me in ways I never expected. I just figured "cute, cuddle, good for brain chemicals". But they HAVE to be walked at a certain time. They HAVE to be fed at a certain time. Regardless of any of your internal issues, you love them and you have to provide for their needs.
So when you are in the kitchen filling their bowl, you make yourself some toast or grab a banana. When you are taking them for a walk, maybe you go a little farther because they like it and it's good for you. If you struggle to get up in the morning, they look to you pleading to be taken out to pee and you get yourself up and dressed. They need training and that requires being consistent, so you do it for them. It's so much easier to do it for them than for yourself.
Replace with who? Nobody has a better shot than him, like it or not.
Having to wait is part of getting asylum. It's not the end of the world. If they absolutely can't wait, they can cross away from the official border crossing
YOLO court strikes again
This is likely to kill more Americans than the Dobbs decision. Absolutely catastrophic power grab by the conservative court.
He isn't denying asylum claims. That is a lie. He is pausing the processing of asylum claims so we can catch up. Asylum seekers will still get to apply; they just have to wait. There is only so much manpower and time in the day, so there is a finite amount of applications that can be processed during a week. Makes sense to me.
Holy fuck! As if Citizens United wasn't bad enough. Our government is fully for sale now.
Saying he is shutting down the border is an outright lie. He put a limit on illegal immigration.

Biden ended the Covid era restrictions Trump put on the border that blocked nearly all asylum seekers. He sent thousands more staff to more quickly process asylum requests.

Biden expanded the path to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who are married to citizens.
Most countries have a functional mental health system. The US does not. We fail on both accounts.
Biden is trying to expand and streamline asylum. Trump wants to cut it and deport millions on top of that. It's comparing apples to the literal opposite of apples.
Oh, I absolutely agree Biden's policy is bad too. Personally I think any more immigration restrictions beyond quarantine for highly communicable diseases is wrong. But saying that Biden is anywhere near as bad as Trump is just factually incorrect. It's like comparing a paper cut to a bullet wound. Criticize Biden all you want once he is reelected, but until then you are only helping Trump get back into office by acting like they are at all comparable.
Here is the ACLU statement on the lawsuit.
Nowhere does it say it is a "crime against humanity". Meanwhile the ACLU sued Trump over 400 times.
https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-has-filed-400-legal-actions-against-trump-administration
(Note that the say they have sued literally every president since their inception)
So chill the fuck out. There are only two choices for president and one is objectively the better choice for legal management of the border.
The ACLU is always suing whatever administration is in power. It's their job.
I pay all my bills online so I'm used to navigating logins and payment apps. I never have nearly as much trouble paying credit card bills.
My password wasn't working, so I tried recovery. The recovery asked for my email, birthdate, zip code, and last 4 digits of my SSN. All things I know well, but they say it's wrong. Now I'm locked out of my account for the 2nd time in two days....
I almost think it's a conspiracy to enable charging people more late fees.
Luna is a 3 year old standard poodle. We have had her for 3 weeks and I already can't imagine life without her.
