this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

abolishing ICE is a necessity but *merely* abolishing ICE should be viewed as the most moderate of positions
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Hot tip for rebuilding a republic:

Get you a DOJ that can handle a moderately large document review.

It’s inevitable that any system will, at its base, require responsible people to exercise judgment, here including police and a local prosecutor, who evidently couldn’t help but ask “is this unmirandized teenager actually confessing to elements of a criminal offense I could choose to indict?”

"porch piracy" is theft. it's illegal in every single state. in states with expansive statutes, this could even be burglary. there is no evidence that local police or prosecutors are unable to handle this. and existing federal law on interstate transportation of stolen property can handle big cases.

Dear Jared from the Subway commercials, Jeffrey Epstein here, writing to talk about our close friend President Donald J. Trump. Like you, he shares an insatiable prediliction for "eating fresh." (To be clear, that is a euphemism for pedophilia.) Hope all is well! P.S. Do you have Jimmy Savile's #?
