Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals!

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

My crazy sister has always hated my SIL. Christmas 2 years ago, SIL served filet mignon and had steak knives at each table setting. My sister freaked out that the steak knives were hers and that SIL stole them! She went around the table (we were still eating) and took all of our knives and then left

In Not Wise Family Decisions, when I was 8 or 9, I was ill to the point of puking on Thanksgiving Day which was being held at our house.
And for SOME reason, I was actually allowed in the dining room and stowed in ä corner and fed only rolls.
Fortunately I did not puke further but WTF

“Secret Stashed Potatoes”

A few years ago I was helping her after a medical situation that happened to fall on a holiday. And she looked at me, real rouguish like, and asked if I would help her make mashed potatoes. Naturally I said yes.

Rubio told senators that the so-called Ukraine peace plan, which reads like a list of Russian demands. was actually given to the Trump team by Moscow, according to a Republican senator. Now Rubio's denying it and insisting it really is a US plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/u...

Every morning I move a pile of clean unfolded clothes from a chair to my bed &, later, move the unwashed InstantPot lid near the sink to make toast.
Every evening I move the lid back near the toaster so I can do dishes & put the clothes back in the chair so I can go to sleep.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

As I always say when some right-winger starts going on about "red tape that slows innovation", every regulation on the books represents a lesson we as a society learned the hard way, and then encoded so we wouldn't forget. It's someone's blood & pain.
