Re: stripping citizenship, look. There is no legal mechanism for him to do it. The very fact that he is talking about it tells you, yet again, what he is. He’s an aspiring totalitarian who wants absolute power over people’s lives and to use it to reward friends and punish enemies. That’s really it.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

You can find the Kaskaskia Dragon, named for the local hardware store, off of US Highway 40 in Vandalia, IL. If you get a token from the liquor store across the street you can make it breathe fire

They can put up a fence, but that won’t keep me from seeing the clouds and the sky! Oh, or seeing those buildings over there, and a few trees. Also, the cloud might look like a thing, but that would be telling.

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free

Nice showing from lots of folks at Philly’s Stand Up for Science rally. Seemed to be plenty of real scientists and researchers in the crowd (not just pedestrian science-appreciators like myself).
