  1. You're never going to convince him of that. But, if you look at Project 2025 and what a lot of the serious scary religious government people have in mind it is clear that: the process of conception should not be interfered with, as God's plan; this will result in women staying barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen as It was for long periods of time; child care and even public education will become unnecessary; "family values" will flourish; and, best of all, women will be removed from the workforce (other than Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, of course) along with all the dirty coloreds (except for the menial jobs, of course). So, call it control of women or not, the above is their grail.
  2. Most private business premises are private property. However, those that don't own it, like employees and patrons, are "invitees" who are guests of the owners for certain purposes. A lot of businesses are open to invitees who just need to walk in the door. A business wouldn't have to change it's "character," but it would have to restrict those whom it invites or permits onto the premises. So, yeah, in that sense, a "private club," members only, with an invitation, etc. If a private business lets any member of the public enter, then officers can go there too. If it is restricted, then I believe they can deny entry to officers. If it's "public entry" for everyone but officers, that may be a little too cute. But, I think an owner is entitled to close up shop whenever they want.
  3. That is correct. The ordinary immigration warrant does not entitle officers to enter onto private property to execute the warrant/arrest. Both "judicial warrants," those in compliance with the 4th Amendment and that permit entry onto private property and seizure of private property, and "administrative warrants" are issued on the basis of probable cause. However, a judicial warrant is issued on a peace officer's sworn affidavit or sworn testimony before a judge, or a magistrate appointed by a judge, so the showing is a bit more rigorous.
  4. Ronald Reagan never met Larry Lacerte.
  5. Some of us are having a lot more trouble letting go of a fraudulent political party than others, and admitting how long it has been fraudulent.
  6. Imagine doing that with celestial navigation and no digital computers.
  7. And he's gonna explode the goddamn deficit. And, if you didn't know that already, he'd be happy to tell you, repeatedly.
  8. Yes, and most administrations leave it to Hollywood for all the glory guts bullshit.
  9. That's one of the most cockamamie lawsuits I have ever seen in my life. Makes some of Trump's efforts look sane and grounded. They're suing all defendants in their individual capacities, alone, for violating their civil rights under color of law in violation of 1983.
  10. Well, if it had huge object insertions . . . .
  11. My CHURCH did that when I was in 7th grade.
  12. The whole cult is nonce words. And nonces.
  13. Quite possible, but you'd think the vehicle for that might be a call to Roberts or a letter.
  14. On the judges thing, it might be better characterized as a suit against a Local Rule, or still more accurately, a Standing Order. D. MD. enacted this standing order https://www.mdd.uscourts.gov/sites/mdd/files/Amended 2025-01.pdf That says for detainees seeking habeas corpus, certain rules apply to insure proper names are used, and to give enough time to deal with it on an emergency basis, deportations of habeas petitioners are stayed for two days. Two. Fucking. Days. Such orders come from the Chief Judge of the District, usually with the advice of the other judges. The first authority to undo such a rule would be the Chief Judge of the Circuit sitting over the district, the Fourth Circuit. Then I suppose the Supreme Court, which retains authority over all federal court rules. The government is also asking that all judges of D. MD. ostensibly party to this rule or order be recused from such cases in the future, based apparently on the bias this reflects. Judges get to run their courtrooms. When a set of circumstances, like an administration hot to trot to deport people in a hurry, starts infringing on courtroom order and procedure, judges get to set some rules. I suspect this goes nowhere. Totally embarrassing for the US DOJ. Fucking clown show.
  15. Of course, I never intended to attribute any merit or acumen to her.
  16. She inherited a construction business from her father.
  17. Probably a pretty good sign that they've given up on the FDA approval angle. Or know it isn't viable.
  18. Does he really want to start talking shit about test scores? Like Wecshler? SAT? Against AOC?
  19. Trump wants peace because he thinks it will make him popular. If he thought blowing lots of shit up would make him popular, he'd do that instead. In fact, that's exactly what happened here.
  20. What the former Intel leaders said was that a mysterious laptop, with no digital forensic chain of custody, shows up with a bunch of embarrassing, but not criminally inculpatory information on it has the earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. They were, ultimately, wrong. Unlike Fox News and election disinfo and half the other shit they spew, they did not know they were wrong ahead of time and spew it anyway. The only people that knew the Steele Dossier was bullshit were Steele and I guess some of his sources. People were credulous of it, but, again, unlike Fox News, they didn't KNOW it was bullshit before they started spewing. What Fox News routinely does is disinformation, intentionally wrong information. The rest is just being conventionally wrong, something Fox rarely admits to.
  21. Someone read him one of the numerous cease-and-desist letters he receives on a daily basis from lawdogs everywhere. He thought it sounded cool. Kind of like Hegseth and OPSEC.
  22. Doesn't even have to be malicious, really. A blurb about world religion is worthwhile in history/social studies.
  23. *chavs, or chavettes, avoid
  24. You are so cabined into your little world of Chamber of Commerce types that you don't know what's really going on in this country. Christian ZIonism is one of several major factors that makes US elected politicians and their appointees over-deferential to Israel. It is far less some spirit of Christian charity or brotherhood and more the votes and money of AIPAC, Christian Zionists and some other groups.
  25. The next time Trump "looks at" any intelligence will be the first time.
