Hey @George-K does she still work for WaPo?

Forget the Banana I'm saving my pennies to buy the Monet.

I have heard of something like that, but I think in Californai. Groups come in on legitimate visas and are here for a couple of months robbing and stealing.

Quite an interesting chart.

See what you’re missing for $20 a month?

Hay I'm retired and I gotta save money for (cheap) Scotch watch where the money goes.

@LuFins-Dad said in Using the Military for Mass Deportations:

And you don’t see the very real problem with that?

I see it as a very big problem.

People that I have talked to in that situation dont like it, but it is better than from where they are coming which really speaks about how bad things are in their home location.

Most/all people who are here in the US illegally did not come to the US because they were leaving a better situation behind. It is tough for them - generally dont speak the language, always living on the edge, big limitations on what you can do, leaving close relatives behind, etc.

Even saying all that, I dont disagree with the deportation of illegal immigrants.

But i think that there will be consequences that maybe not everybody expects.

We need to fix the immigration system, and while probably not very possible, the best way to fix is to fix it at the source. Decreasing the illegal immigration is just a "band aid" but does not solve the problem.

I've tried watching JP, but he takes so freaking long to get to the point I inevitably lose interest.

You're not the only one.

I've said it before, but he'd make a great Doctor Who

Good luck with all that.

Do these suits ever result in a satisfying result for the plaintiffs?

I did my liver-ups in the morning, don’t worry. 3 sets of 25. I knew it was going to be a big day.

@George-K said in Dune Prophecy:

@89th also, I've read that this series on HBO explains why there are no real computers in Dune, why fighting is done with swords, and the reason shields are the way they are.

Remember, the Harkonnens were the good guys at one time.

@89th not only were the Harkonnens good guys once upon a time, but one of Paul’s distant ancestors was one of the worst threats humanity ever faced.

Honestly I think I’m just intimidated by the size of the Duneiverse in terms of story.

I’m telling you, it should be known as Gaetzgate!

Thanks. I’ve nuked them before with suboptimal results.
