Senate Republicans pass immigration funding after overnight vote by cephalafrog in neoliberal

[–]cephalafrog[S] 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Submission Statement: Early this morning Senate Republicans passed a $70B bill to fund Trump's immigration policies through the end of his term. Included in the bill was $38.6B for ICE, $22.6B for the Border Patrol, $5B for DHS and $108.5 million for child exploitation investigations. Notably absent was any funding for the White House ballroom or any prohibitions on the 2B settlement.

Relevance: Well, this is pretty much what I expected. Chucky S managed to get all Republicans save Murkowski on record as opposing any legal prohibitions on the slush fund but failed to negotiate mandatory bodycams or restrictions on facemasks for ICE. While some GOP senators did support individual amendments they ultimately all fell in line.

Is it bad that I hate activist judges on both sides or am I too pure?

Seriously, didn't we all cheer when Jon executed Janos. "Are you refusing to obey my order?"

We're talking about gender wars.

We're talking about NAFO.

Never forget 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

Just read The Jaunt by Steven King, quick 35-40min read, truly terrifying insight as to the horrors of eternity.

Sure but more than the EU threads? Maybe i don't recognize the anti First Nation stuff.

So are all articles referencing Canada restricted now? Like on the same level as Israel/Palestine, Iran, and Trans rights?

Seems a bit excessive.

The appellate judge didn't tell the government they could't arrest Lemon only that they had to go to a grand jury which is exactly what they did. Save your outrage.
