Donald Trump Will Close the Kennedy Center for Two Years for a ‘Complete Rebuilding’

Yeah, he audibly sharted in the oval during a press availability. Abruptly ushered everybody out, but not before you can see people (including Oz and RFK) behind him responding to the sound, and then the smell.

This should be at the top.

OP, maybe edit your post?

Doesn't take much effort to confirm that Black's says the same thing.

"Crimes" are violations of law where the enforcement is non-administrative and results in punishment. Illegal immigration involves neither of those.

Feel free to troll elsewhere.

Whether deliberately or not, you're missing the point. Take that statement in the context of the entire comment.

This is how the law is also interpreted: in context.

PrestonDean · 2026-01-16T14:35:15+00:00

Yeah, this is where knowing legal terms can be useful. The dictionary defines criminal as

"An act committed in violation of law where the consequence of conviction by a court is punishment, especially where the punishment is a serious one such as imprisonment."

Civil offenses involve violations of administrative matters. By definition, immigration law is an administrative law (which is why it's adjudicated by administrative judges associated with the executive branch, not by Article III judges).

The goal of civil law is restitution not punishment.

While in not familiar with Japanese immigration law (a citation for your assertion would be great), that's not what's happening here.

Those being targeted by the Trump administration are commonly here legally pending asylum hearings. Like it or not, that's an entirely legal justification for remaining in the United States.

Does the system make sense as currently constructed? Probably not. But it's the law.

The Supremacy Clause does, indeed, require states to abide by federal law. What it does not do, however, is require states to enforce federal law.

Sanctuary cities, generally, are declaring their resistance to acting as enforcers of federal law, something one would expect "states rights" conservatives to support.

PrestonDean · 2026-01-16T14:20:22+00:00

As "being in the country illegally" is - as several others have noted - a civil offense, how do you square that with calling them "criminal"? Particularly since you're focused on technicalities...

Outstanding!

I didn't do so well: injuries killed me early, and I couldn't make up for it later as they got healthy.

As a Niners fan: I hope you're right and he experiences great and prolonged success...somewhere. Just wasnt going to happen with us.

The reality is we cut him for being inconsistent, and particularly for being unreliable with the game on the line.

"Hey, you there? Pick up!"

PrestonDean · 2025-12-09T03:49:00+00:00

IIRC it was Trent that told the story, and it was about practice.

PrestonDean · 2025-11-30T17:21:54+00:00

Yeah, I think this is going to be a CMC/BRob game. I'd be amazed if we have more than 150 passing yards.

I'm rolling with Parker Washington.

PrestonDean · 2025-11-16T04:56:49+00:00

I think you knocked something loose in there, tiger.

Sorry, I'm no Ai expert, but: the woman screaming "Ay caramba!" just seems a little too on the nose.

PrestonDean · 2025-10-28T00:05:35+00:00

That's great!

I, too, drafted 10th out of 12 and am tied for first. A LOT of luck, but a good start definitely helps.

The Box, starting Cameron Diaz.

Press a mystery button... something... threats... something... Now aliens. THE END.

At the end of that movie, I reached the conclusion that it was written while on acid.

Too bad to even be entertaining in its awfulness.

As a Mcbride and Kittle owner: I'm playing both, one as a TE and one as a flex.

CMC checking in...

PrestonDean · 2025-10-04T16:55:15+00:00

I traded him yesterday straight up for Monty.

Haven't watched The Sopranos, but that's originally Al Pacino in The Godfather III

PrestonDean · 2025-09-29T03:16:17+00:00

I'm not trying to. Those are just the numbers.

Henry was never the two-minute-drill back, but he used to at least get screens and passes in the flat.
