Here comes the LOVE!

Thank you, Joe!

"So far this DNC is shaping up to be a showcase of the deep bench of talent Democrats have built in the Trump era."

I keep thinking the same thing! Not is as clear a phrase as that, but hell yes!

You believe nonsense.
Can't help you with that.
You have the power to deprogram yourself, though.
It takes a choice.
A choice so many are making these days.

A lot of things have changed since the 1800s

And yet you cited that period and then got what happened wrong.

This is just so GOOD!
Wow! I'm having a hard time turning it off to go to bed!

@#16:
"In the 1800s and early 1900s, laws only limited immigrants with certain individual attributes, rather than all people above a certain annual numerical threshold. An 1875 law banned those suspected of being prostitutes. The 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act barred most new Chinese immigrants. The 1891 Immigration Act barred polygamists, people with contagious diseases, people convicted of crimes "of moral turpitude," and those likely to become a "public charge" by depending on government assistance. A 1903 law barred anarchists and others, including beggars. Still, the vast majority of Europeans who reached the United States were granted entry; the U.S. Immigration Service excluded only 1 percent of the 25 million Europeans who arrived between 1880 and World War I."

October 28, 1886 - Statue of Liberty erected in NY.
In 1903 "The New Colossus Plaque" was placed on the inner wall of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.

So if you mean "entering legally" is wide open gates for anyone from Europe you'd be right. Not much work to do. Today you have to be granted an asylum hearing.

If you actually cared about any of this, though, you'd have pushed for the immigration bill the Lankford worked so hard on that gave you everything you've been asking for for years and more. Like more immigration courts and officers.

Alex, thank you!
I don't! I just smile :-)

The musical talent for this DNC is awesome.

You could get an abortion at the DNC LyinYav.

You could get a lobotomy.
Oops. Too late.

Seriously, though - "LyinYav" is one of my favorites because it is so trump in every way. I don't lie and that's obvious to everyone, and you drop the "g" on "lying" to try and sound 'cool' (or something). It's just so... ridiculous and so trumpian!

#19 - Advice from a misinformed STD.
Awesome.

Such low hanging fruit.
Must resist.

Well it's painfully obvious that doesn't have a clue about this one either.

Or anything, honestly.

It's like you're labeling the current administration a natural disaster.

That's funny.
The COVID "recession" (downturn) happened in 2020 (Trump).
Biden was inaugurated January 20th, 2021.
Inflation kicked in about 5 month's later with no change in Trump's policies having been made.
The Inflation Reduction Act was signed on August 16, 2022.

Why would an economic disaster not be handled like a natural disaster when it comes to protecting citizens from price gouging?
Relying on the Fed to handle everything is not efficient or particularly intelligent, IMHO.

The people of Kamchatka refused to participate in their parade of unity. The forced colonization and attempts to "reeducate" the indigenous people was not regarded kindly Russia, IIRC, forced a migration to take care of that situation (moving Russians in), but still punished the province by isolating it to a remarkable degree, forcing the propaganda as the only source of information.

(I always have had a soft spot in my heart for Kamchatka because of all the RISK games we used to play :)

F-feet's getting stepped on all over the place.

#17 - yep. That's what's in the Guardian link I posted.

He's the Clarance Thomas of Immigrants.

(and NO. I do not recommend the company that was a play on!)

#40 - amen to that, Corky.

I have no issue with Harris' proposal so far. There just isn't enough information to make any kind of worthwhile opinion.
Anyone hyperventilating over this is trying to get attention or being ridiculously and transparently partisan.
Especially when inflation on groceries was 1.1% last month.

Using the supplied equation:
Earth's radius = 3,959 miles.
Surface area is ~198,000,000 square miles at 37,000 ft (7 miles) an "average" of commercial aircraft flights.
(4*pi*(3959+7)^2)
LEO is 100-200 miles. For simplicity, let's just use 150.
Surface are would be ~212,000,000 square miles.
(4*pi*(3959+150)^2)
For 100, 200 miles above earth's surface; 207,000,000 to 217,000,000 square miles, respectively.

"But civilian version, it's actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers. They're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead," Trump concluded. "She gets it, and she's a healthy, beautiful woman, and they're rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she got it for - and that's through committees and everything else."

Finish that thought! Don't leave us hanging! What did she get it for? Was it the $200 million? The follow-on donations all to Republicans? Was it because she has an open checkbook today for you?

I wonder what Trumps going to give Big Oil if they give him that billion dollars he said he wanted to help them?

Don't give him a chance to show us.
