What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Note: "Deportation Judges," not immigration judges. No need to apply if you don't get the agenda.

In Morocco, chorba refers to a soup that hasn’t been thickened with flour or cream, giving it a light and wholesome consistency. This hearty dish features lamb, chickpeas, potatoes and noodles seasoned with turmeric and saffron for a cozy one-pot meal. nyti.ms/48Of90Z

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.

He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.

I wish people could finally accept this.

Okay for once I totally and completely empathize with President Trump.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

I'm persona non grata at CNN, a place that used to have me as a commentator, but Katie Miller, the fragile, racist wife of the fragile, racist Stephen Miller, has an open invitation.

I wonder why. Hmmm.

Guesses?

Trump Pardons Honduran President, convicted of conspiring to bring 400 TONS of COCAINE into the US. It was NEVER about the drugs in Venezuela! This Perverted sac of fuckmeat is only after his own best interest, he’s as selfless as a boiled potato. When I can walk over him I will move past him⚰️

Exactly. The operator isn't getting an order to "kill these drowning men," they're being told "strike grid coordinates XYZ"

The people who *know* need to be held accountable, and that's pretty senior.
Someone made the point - I think Adam Kinzinger - that the problem is it’s one thing to refuse to murder someone if ordered. It’s another to refuse an order where you yourself don’t have the full context and couldn’t possibly - but someone above you does/did
