WTF? This is part of the ceremony of citizenship. These people aren’t against illegal immigration, they’re against legal immigration as well, and always have been.
Had a fairly interesting life, did some stuff, went some cool places, made some things, and now I'm old. Funny how that works... Live naked! TheDreadPoetMichael.com Original stuff ©

"Russia has never had, does not have, and will never have any desire to attack anyone" -- Putin in Beijing. He simply keeps mocking all those who, for 25 years, have bent over backwards for this petty creature, tiptoeing around him in fear and granting full license to his megalomania and sadism.
Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.
Very confident about receiving an environmental award for our landing pad made from recycled yoga mats. Oh ffs...

The one where a national reporter finds out what I’ve said all along about Dems focusing on Epstein— voters are not focused on the files. Every group I’ve spoken to is concerned about Medicaid cuts and grocery prices and high rent. I hope Democrats will listen. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Elon thinks that the greatest threat to Western civilization is not enough white men getting multiple women pregnant. Thats “conservatism” now.

Epstein survivors are currently behind closed doors with the House Oversight Committee today. For decades, their voices were silenced. Tomorrow, survivors step forward publicly at the Capitol.

Chile is one of the safest places for LGBTQ+ to reside. They have some of the worlds strongest anti discrimination laws. Green Day plays Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen right before they hit the stage. Here are 50,000 Chileans losing their shit this past weekend. #HumanRights #Chile #MusicSky

The package of screen savers that came with it illustrate my point 90+ percent of them are absolutely *frantic* and exude caffeine overdose vibes Some are old favorites that for some reason no longer work properly Now think about all that mission-critical software being built to the same standard
I forgot my state of the art in low-power computing loaded with the latest in open source software doesn't know how to do sound & tried to watch a video I wish the "coders" would take a moment from their Red Bull and Candy Crush and self-congratulation to do a bit of actual, you know, *coding* +

The passing of Graham Greene has revived the memory of "Dances with Wolves" which was ludicrous enough just having Kevin Costner in it but But what really killed it was when we meet the young white woman who had been raised as a native and she had a FREAKING PERM IN HER HAIR Still SMDH today 🤦
The question is not "Who pay the tax?" but "Who loses the benefits of trade?" When a tariff is imposed on imports, American consumers pay higher prices and foreign producers lose their business. Both lose - even if, as a result of the tariff, no one buy imports anymore and no one pays the tax.
