but then you grow up and start to relate to the biker who gets thrown across the bar and onto the stove and then Arnold takes his clothes and motorcycle and presumably his sanity smh

The new voter suppression bill—called the "Save America Act"—would require 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates to register to vote.
Most don't have these documents. This is a poll tax by another name.

That's way less than the percentage in the Trump administration.
The latest research shows that less than 2% of immigrants detained in Trump's second term are rapists and murderers, and less than 2% are gang members. Source: www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...

Democrats are STILL waiting on Republicans to come to the table and negotiate commonsense reforms to rein in ICE and bring an end to the violence.

While Amazon touts the surveillance state enabled by its Ring cameras, remember...
Amazon's U.S. tax bill dropped by 87% in 2025, mostly thanks to Trump's tax cuts.
Meanwhile, its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion — and it announced 30,000 job cuts.
Is this the world we want to live in?
