The Supreme Court can stop this.
The U.S. Marshals can stop this.

The Revolutionary War's 250th anniversary is April 19th. American colonies banned together and resisted monarchical rule. While not war, this movement is definitely a revolution. So women wanting to attend the next protest may appreciate men handling the cooking duties for Easter this year.

Just wondering if these Gold Card buyers are going to be able to buy farm land as easily as they can buy their path to citizenship?

Seemingly the only one doing anything of value these days is Bernie Sanders and his mittens - to the majority of the Dems: “get your head out of your ass - it’s not a hat.” Don’t you just love Pitch Perfect and a moment of levity when you’re really just going WTAF?
