They had a case management system whereby asylum seekers were released pending a court date, and 90% of them showed up to their court date. They can also use ankle bracelets if 90% is not high enough. It is in no way necessary to imprison people with young children who have either broken no law or only have a misdemeanor in their attempt to petition for asylum.

Looking like Schumer's gambit paid off. Trump will unilaterally stop the policy without any concessions from dems on wall funding. But if/when a court rules this exec order is in conflict with Flores, it will reopen the can of worms.

No, because crypto is not an investment, it is a speculative asset. Investments have some intrinsic value, stocks and bonds have cashflows for instance, and these fundamentals are what matter. Crypto has no fundamental value, so if enough people decide to sell it becomes worthless. -
For those of you supporting this policy, I hope you know that the news of what is going on is just going to get worse and worse. I hope you're prepared to defend it all.

A lot of people have big paper losses. Some have big paper gains. Many people have a couple of grand sitting in these exchanges and are just letting it ride for now, but if the economy starts to suffer and/or stocks tank, a ton of people will decide they want that money and are going to try to pull it out and all at the same time. That's when you will see a lot of these coin prices go to zero. -
Sessions could send out a new memo this afternoon reversing the policy change initiated in his April 9th memo. This would immediately end the new family separation policy.

Ah yes, Winston Churchill, the Man Who is Famous for Being Pro-Nazi. You are too stupid to breath.

They knew how things would look under this new policy. It is provides Trump with red meat for the base to rev them up as the midterms approach, and he can use these kids as hostages to get his wall. At one point Kelly used the words "maximum cruelty" and "the nuclear option."
-
The few years prior to 2016, 63% showed up for their first court date. The Trump admin ended a trial program in 2017 that improved that rate to 90+%. They also use ankle bracelets on a case-by-case basis. Scaling up ankle bracelets to all asylum seekers with children pending their trial would be a cheap way of making sure they aren't lost in the system without having to take the kids away. But that is not really the point. They want to use these kids as hostages to get the money for the wall.

In other news, water is wet. -
I disagree Paige will be fine. With her parents outed she will be under very heavy suspicion. Her actions over the past year will be heavily scrutinized and she will be interrogated ruthlessly. I think her best bet is starting fresh under a new identity (not sure she is up to this) or confessing and hoping for a light sentence. Agree the garage scene is what gives them their emmy. Incredible finale all around. The garage scene and train scene were instantly iconic and will probably be the first things I think of when this show comes up.

Agree with others on chicken stock, pico/salsa. Grind your own cumin seeds in a mortar rather than use the pre-ground, it makes a huge difference. Grind everything yourself for that matter: chilis, coffee, everything. Infuse your own simple syrup with mint leaves for juleps. Do it with slices of raw ginger for other cocktails.

With their cover blown, all the minor storylines of the past season go out the window. Therefore, I predict they jump forward again, 1 or 2 years. The whole family is scattered. Elisabeth is back in Russia, caught up in the political turmoil there. Philip is still in the U.S., on the run from Stan who is still tracking him. Paige is in jail and Henry is in college.

I guess the moral of this story is that just because the president is a racist nutjob, it doesn't mean everyone else can be one too. It is still very much a thing that gets you fired. The racist nutjobs on this site seem to be taking the news hard.

Seriously, skip the diamond scam altogether and get her a nice ring that is unique and stylish. If you have to include a diamond, look around at secondary markets for the rock itself and have a jeweler put it in a ring.

McCullough's history of the Panama canal, Path Between the Seas, remains the best history book I've ever read.
-
Is it a safe assumption at this point Philip is blown? They had eyes on the meeting with Father Andrei. Any photos from that meetings should be in front of Stan within a day. On the other side, Claudia assumes that her and her network are blown, but they don't know Oleg was intercepted with the message.

You might consider actually reading his quote before sounding off next time.

Whether he was right to leave this year or not, I have no problem with what he says here. It is ridiculous that guys like him are not being paid given how much they work and the amount of money they generate for their school.

All the Pixar movies are bad. They are kids movies that should have no appeal to a reasonable adult.

Nina Compton's NOLA restaurant Compere Lapin just won the James beard award, FWIW.

This is why I don't take these awards seriously.
