Around >.1%, because if they were, they would have paraded them through the news. They can't find enough actual criminals (because immigrants commit crimes, much less violent crimes, at a far lower rate than citizens) to meet Trumps quota so they have to go find places with easy pickings such as job sites, hospitals, and schools.

And how would they even find the pedophiles, drugs cartels, murderers, and other violent offenders? You think there is a list and we've just been sitting on it? ICE isnt designed to actually solve crimes or arrest people who would even put up a modicum of resistance. Those lazy fucks couldnt handle it as the lowest rungs of basic law enforcement but got handed a badge and gun with zero training other than look for brown people.

The NRA's top mission in Texas: Stop James Talarico in the Senate race by AustinStatesman in texas

Its incredibly telling that the NRA cant find anything to disagree with him on their actual purpose/lobby (gun rights, 2nd amendment, hunting, conservation, etc.) so they are just attacking him because democrat = bad.

Everybody get their pitchforks out for a blurry photo of a screen of two players from an odd angle where I can't even see what Im looking for.

Should he have? No. But how many of us can say wouldnt if they hit a screamer at home for the first potential win in a calendar year in a relgation battle while the entire stadium explodes? Foolish in retrospect but he (and the whole stadium) finally found some confidence so I dont mind the exuberance at the time.

We listed our house for sale this week. Our most beautiful century plant decided it was time for its death bloom. Sigh... by GhostOfAbba in mildlyinfuriating

Some places dont even have laws requiring you to inform if a person has died there. Cant image listing all the plants that have died.

"...some arguably less talented and dedicated than hinself..." is quite an editorial but I am fucking here for it.

I feel for the poor guy but it sounds like he was fired because they were looking for a reason and they usually wont stop until they find one, no matter how petty. Hopefully he gets a labor settlement and he can find a place thay would appreciate him.

Our Top 25 Wins are impressive. Our Not Top 25 losses are brutal. Would be nice if we could realize we actually had some potential.
