Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it

Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Question:

If a POTUS was actually a Russian asset with the specific intent of destroying the military power, market strength, social unity, economic hegemony & global influence of the United States from within,

what would that person do DIFFERENTLY than what that asshole is doing right now?

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

They've really decided to use "illegal aliens" as their catch-all cause of every complaint under the sun, haven't they? Xenophobia is the only weapon they have.

As the old saying goes, when the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Congress Just Deleted Habeas Corpus From The Constitution On Its Website - Above the Law Congress.gov keeps an annotated copy of the Constitution. They have deleted Article I, Section 9.

An update to this story. The Library of Congress -- whose head was already fired by Trump without cause -- says it's a coding error. But why were they messing with the coding on a static page?
