Pardoned by Trump after convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion. Don’t have to pay back $17.8 million in restitution or serve 12 year sentence. Not Somalis.

ppl keep mistaking Jurassic Park for a survival film against dinosaurs when it's actually a survival film against startup culture
Deep in my heart I do not believe that Jurassic Park would pose substantially different or more challenging security issues than any well stocked zoo.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.
