  • I’m expecting that UFC fight to have at least one fight on the undercard that pits two ICE detainees against each other. Winner gets permanent residency (and gets to go back to their family). Loser goes straight to the Everglades. I bet they even detain fly their families in for the fight so you see the crushed look on the losers’ kids when they realize they will never see their parent again. (It will sell even more on TV if the fighters are pregnant women…)


  • Today’s Republicans say they want to follow the Founders’ intent, but it’s all a lie. There are only two reasons why they have this Founder fetish:

    1. It is always convenient to be able to base rulings on the opinions of people who have been dead for hundreds of years, because you can’t ask them what they really think. I think the Founders would have had a lot to say about today’s Christian Nationalists, most of it uncharitable.

    2. Their endgame has always been to call a Constitutional Convention, and rewrite the whole thing from scratch. Poof! Now they are the New Founders, and Precedent says they will be fetishized for another 250+ years. Imagine US History buffs of the future scrutinizing the essential writings of the new Founding Fathers: McConnell, Roberts, MTG, Sean Hannity. Future armchair historians will analyze Trump social media posts like they are the Federalist Papers! Maybe someone will make an epic musical out of them…









  • Too many Latinos who are citizens from birth are still buying the lie that the Administration is only going after the “bad ones” until they get shipped to the Everglades and find out everyone in their tent also thought they were one of the “good ones” until ICE flash-banged their door down,



  • He further found that the Constitution does not give the president the authority to “adopt an alternative immigration system, which supplants the statutes that Congress has enacted and the regulations that the responsible agencies have promulgated.”

    Yet once this gets to the Supreme Court, they will argue that since the Founders never explicitly prevented the President from making his own alternative immigration system, surely it must be allowed!
