    Certainly I'm no expert, but it almost looks like they could only turn left... I wonder if @Copper has any initial ideas.

    Thanks for sharing. Quite interesting. I dont think that it is any surprise that the world will look for alternatives. This is a big long term problem for the US. Even if things go how president Trump wants them to go, it could very much be a case of "we won the battle but lost the war"

    They seemed fine but I had a 20m ride in the back seat of each and was more interested in looking outside the window.

    Mass killings are bad PR. If we can do that, let's nuke the Gaza Strip.

    I imagine the Trump blamethrower is being powered up as we speak.

    The law provides for a one time 90 day extension if a deal is in the works. Trump didn’t invoke that, he just said, twice now, that he’s not going to enforce it for 75 days. This is arguably in violation of the so called ‘take care’ clause of the constitution but someone with standing would probably have to sue him to stop it. I’m not sure who besides Congress has such standing. Maybe a TikTok competitor? I don’t know.

    This reminded me I need to put HP on my shopping list. I ran out a while back and had to put ketchup on my burger last night. O tempora, o mores!

    Wow, those poor kids. That is just awful. There are people that need to spend a long time in jail if they are found to be at fault.

    It’s gotta get a little north of ‘justthenews’ before I’ll even consider looking into whether this is anything but maga clickbait. The poster is impressive though. He’s broke like six major Biden scandals just since lunch.

    I suppose, for example if they make it a misdemeanor. Visa overstay is like a traffic ticket, not criminalized. But if you’re a visa overstay and don’t register, it’s probably easier to send them to a foreign prison if they’re the wrong color home.

    I don’t think so. There are two Democrats I would vote for before either of the GOP candidates.
