As part of the investigation, officials had contacted Morales Reyes and asked for a handwriting sample and concluded his handwriting and the threatening letter didn’t match and that the threat was not credible, the person said. It’s not clear why Homeland Security officials still decided to send a release making that claim.

There’s no great leap of logic required here. It furthers their narrative that illegal immigrants are an immediate threat to the security of the country when they can point to one and say “See? This guy was plotting to assassinate the president!” It’s just like the whole hoax about Hatians eating pets. They knew that wasn’t true either. But It plays well with their audience, so they want it circulating in the news cycle as much as possible because it reinforces what those people already believe.

My wife and I made a generous donation pretty much the day Trump signed that order. Fight the good fight, gang!

Sure, but the rounding errors become a lot bigger if you get rid of the nickel.

That isn’t the specific problem. The problem is that you need a way to make up the difference between them. Example: If someone pays $1.00 for something that costs $0.35, how do you make change without a .05 denomination?

Makes sense because there’s no WA sales tax on most food grocery items.

Also: THAT’S NOT HOW VACCINES WORK

With a few exceptions, vaccines don’t give a person 100% immunity. They work on a population by making people less prone to infection thereby slowing the rate at which the virus can spread. If infections clear up (or in the worst case, kill the host) faster than the virus spreads, outbreaks get contained. That’s what herd immunity is.

But that means you have to give the vaccine to as many people as you can for it to be maximally effective. Only giving it to people who are at “high risk” means only giving them minimal protection.

I always loved that he was very clearly inspired by Norm.

He’s just pissed because Springsteen said mean words about him. So now, like the big crybaby he is, he’s going to shout and whine about how it isn’t fair and make all kinds of threats to get even.

Khalil remains in a Louisana ICE detention facility. After he challenged his arrest in court, a federal judge asked the Trump administration to simply back up its grounds for arresting the permanent resident, and the administration responded with an objection, saying the order was "misguided.”

Oh. Okay. It’s a “misguided” court order, so clearly they don’t have to abide by it. I’m gonna keep that one in my back pocket next time I’m in court. Your honor, I felt that the speed limit was misguided.

Most states don’t have mandatory sick leave, and there is no federal requirement. Here in WA we just got it in 2018. Before that it was up to each employer to decide if they wanted to offer it.

Seeing as it was bought just after WW2, I doubt they still work there.

More like supporting his nightmares.

Hell, even if you could find someone to handle it fairly, it would just be a matter of time until someone subverted that organization for their own purposes. If there’s power to be wielded, someone will abuse it.

“Those who want to burn books are either afraid of the ideas contained within the covers or they haven’t the courage to stand up for the views which they themselves profess to hold.”

Nice that they took the time to respond. I expect they’re getting a lot of offers from people who want to help them replace books.

We did fluoride treatments but only at semi-annual dental checkups. It was a thick gel that they put in trays and we had to keep them in our mouths for a couple minutes. You had to lean over a sink and let any saliva just drip out because you weren’t supposed to swallow any of it.

But I also was trained from an early age to brush with fluoride toothpaste every night before bed, so…

Something something planned obsolescence?

So much for protecting the poor unborn children.
