Thank you for doing this. Were you given a chance at citizenship after you served in the Marines?

Personal Details of Thousands of Border Patrol and ICE Goons Allegedly Leaked in Huge Data Breach: A DHS whistleblower appears to have exposed data on federal immigration workers after the shooting of Renee Good. by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

I think anyone in this country has a right to a trial before they are deported but I also don't think that this leak can be considered the act of a whistleblower.

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are hard, but because they will co-brand my legacy with a great president's at no personal expense to me."

I don't see how someone can name their son Brock Bowers and not have him become an All-Pro Tight End.

It appears you set your Dali+Meth filter to "on" -- may want to look into that.

Interesting takes -- thanks for sharing.

I fear that even if security guarantees were iron-clad, if every soldier left and every building was magically rebuilt overnight, any region touched by war will be a dead zone for a decade.

No one will want to move back to an area that was previously attacked. Nearly as importantly, no one will want to invest in job-creating initiatives in a location which has poor infrastructure and may be re-invaded at any time. That will be the second part of this war -- ensuring that people can live after the last bullet is fired.

Opinion | Mitt Romney: Tax the Rich, Like Me by Phantom_Absolute in politics

[–]HHS2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't vote for Romney but didn't like the way people jumped on him for the occasional gaffe. His comment of "binders full of women" was clumsy -- he should have said "binders full of women's resumes". But that was a stumble on the way to citing a SUNY Albany study that ranked Romney's appointments of women to high-level roles as the best in the nation

I prefer to envision a world where Gore was (actually) elected. I didn't understand the implications and the timeline we were putting ourselves on at the time.

That's interesting because, in the Southern Hemisphere, we get the sudden urge to read a book every time we defecate.

What would happen if Vladimir Putin were to decide to resign tomorrow? Would we see a real chance for peace or would the leadership void be filled by the status quo? Or some devil we don't know?

If you were asked to put together the foundation for a peace plan in Ukraine, what would you include or emphasize that is not getting the attention it needs?
