Wow!! I am not sure how practical but super good work and thinking.

It's my understanding that an asylum visa can be bought for a few thousand dollars.

@jon-nyc said in Two Years: Why don’t you go full Omar on us and declare “it’s open season on pro-lifers”? During the protest, the pro-life protesters sang songs, prayed, locked arms in front of the facility’s staff entrance, and attached themselves with ropes and chains to block doors inside the building. This has nothing to do with protesting and everything to do with Free Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act). But this thread is a great demonstration of how right wing media manufactures the “just us” myth and how people motivated to believe it accept it so uncritically. It may not be the NYT ( they probably would not do a juxtaposition story), but do you have a problem with the facts? No? Okay, then in light of our recent Gaza protests, where even people destroyed parts of the university building aren't looking at 2 years ( or more), why are we imprisoning these dangerous people for 2-3 years? Remind me again of how this is not ludicrous punishment meted out by the Just-us Department...

The guy who "wanted to kidnap pelosi" is legit mentally ill. Paul's neighbor not so much. I wonder if there was some normal tribal bad blood there with the Paul attack.

Yeah, though before I let myself lose I check the hints on Mashable

@LuFins-Dad said in Anti-Trump Kasich stuns MSNBC host: A spot is reserved for both of the parties official candidates. It must be. We can all remember conventions where the outcome was in doubt.

@Axtremus said in China tries to shore up housing market: Maybe they can entice the North Koreans to migrate? Their population is not doing too well either. LOL

@Mik said in The great wealth transfer: I think we isolate our kids from these things and then are surprised when they don't grasp them as young adults. Unless the topic is sex, then many parents seem to want to shield their kids from anything sex-related until they are 40, maybe forever.

Shhhhh, careful what you say. You never know who’s reading these posts.

@blondie No question.

Now that doesn’t diminish their findings, but that could be used to twist public perception. It would be nice if a follow up was conducted by some people with more letters after their names.

The level of commercials is still much lower. I found terrestrial TV in the US to be unwatchable. I'm guessing the levels will increase until the viewers reduce

@Horace said in Fig season is here: @Mik said in Fig season is here: No, he's a Figger. I put the fig on the F key. I can only thank goodness that there is no N key. G whiz.

Street fighting has maybe the biggest difference between how cool it is to talk about it, and how cool it looks when people actually do it.

Our weapons were simpler then. I'm quite sure we could not do that today. Too many complex components.
