Prediction - If the #WorldCup is allowed to happen in the USA, there will be incidents with ICE assaulting fans, players, coaches etc.
People may die.
Soccer is not worth that.

Dead kids didn’t matter. Endless school shootings didn’t matter. But a single liberal with a firearm? That broke the GOP.

the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.

DUCKWORTH: If it's true that we are not at war with Venezuela, will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act?
RUBIO: That was a mechanism to remove people from our country that present great danger
D: It's a wartime act. Are we currently at war?
R: No

Bari Weiss to CBS News: we will no longer tell viewers what happened. We present argument and opinion about what happened. We expect that to offend many of our viewers, and we don't care.

Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience.
Here's CBS's new Ukraine correspondent. Graduated college less than a year ago. Yale Rugby. Only job: 7 months freelancing. 1/

The separatist movement in Alberta is being fueled to a great degree by people encouraging Albertans to “vote for separation to send a message to those in power (Ottawa) and get us a better deal…but don’t worry, we won’t actually separate.”
Uh…that’s basically how Brexit happened.

There were no good orcs because orcs don’t exist. What they are meant to embody does exist.
Cruelty. Sadism. Compliance to brutal authority. Wanton destruction. Hatred of the powerless. Cowardice in the face of bravery.
The debate is over.

Donald Trump has weakened our country so enormously.
The FBI s weak according to a new memo paralyzed by fear.
