So a woman goes to the El Paso courthouse to get a restraining order against her abusive husband and gets picked up by ICE, tipped off by her abusive husband.
Not all costs and consequences are economic. These are people’s lives at stake.

Terrible. I hope they don’t have kids. This is exactly why I’m joining my sister in law’s sister and her husband for the immigration rally in May.

Dunno if that’s the situation here, but it makes me think of cases where the abuser is the one responsible for bringing them over here illegally in the first place, and then using it as a tool of control: ‘make me happy or else, YOU GO BACK’, bullshit like that.

Fucking useless purity pony princess.
And if you wanted proof that the NRA could care less about guns and just propping up right wing bullshit, NRA TV’s response to the Flynn news. Yep a bunch of conspiracy bullshit about “Obama loyalists.” Thanks guys, you do know that you’re the poster children for why we need sensible gun laws in this country. Pathetic paranoid losers like you really shouldn’t be able to play with deadly weaopns. I get you especially Wayne LaPierre are incredibly insecure and that’s why you feel the need to play with guns all the time but you’re going to hurt someone if you don’t hurt yourself first.

Holy shit! ICE now literally enabling domestic abuse.
[Embedded content]
That ICE employee should know full well that the US welcomes such people to work with them to arrest and prosecute the abuser. The victim is protected and put on a track to citizenship —that is the deal. IT’S VERY IMPORTANT because those that bring (mostly) women into this country are often abusers/rapists.
They threaten the women with their kids —“do as I say, don’t tell, whatever OR I’ll send you back to mexico and keep the kids”
These (mostly) women do not often know the language, do not know they have rights, and live horrible lives.
The old world customs of many hispanics are very real—men will go South of the border specifically to find a cowering women who will literally spoon feed them at mealtime.

A Dreamer was also detained. I’m worried like hell for my one sister in law’s husband. He’s got a green card thankfully. In a sane administration, I wouldn’t worry but I definitely do with all that’s going on. As I said, that’s why I’m joining them for the immigration rally. I’m not an immigrant or even an immigrant’s grandson but people in my family were once immigrants too.

Has she broken her damn neck getting up on that high horse of hers yet?
Frankly, there’s two parts of the left- There’s the left that wants to improve what we can and knows we’re not going to get everything but knows that progress is a journey and not an event. And then there’s the other part that honestly is never happy and goes on about how we need revolutions and shit.
re: #18 nines09

Chris tried to actually push on her bullshit and she went KellyAnne Riefenstahl by trying to take over the interview and indict HIM on not being a Troo Member of the Select Progressive Klub.
I actually could not believe it. She took over the interview and starting blaming Chris for fossil fuel consumption and pipelines.
Her sort are really fucking dangerous in actual power. They tend to get themselves onto nifty things called the Committee for Public Safety.
If the Supreme Court did overturn Roe, the enforceability of these trigger clauses is complicated and difficult to predict, Kraiem explains. For instance, six states—Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Ohio—enshrine only their intention to revert back to pre-Roe policies, without requiring an automatic switch. Since a number of those legislatures tend to skew conservative, that intention could very quickly become law.

re: #32 Backwoods_Sleuth
I wouldn’t call anything about the Trump administration ‘good’, but it is possible that this level of failure (and possibly much worse to come) will be necessary to meaningfully discredit the Republicans.
Too many in the electorate definitely don’t do things the easy way (e.g. by spotting Trump as ‘inevitable future disaster’ and voting accordingly).
It remains to be seen if they can learn from what is likely to be bitter experience.

A: Quick Answer
The Committee of Public Safety exercised executive power in France during the period known as the Reign of Terror. Established in March, 1793, when the revolutionary government confronted counterrevolutionaries in France, the Committee of Public Safety became a radical dictatorship presiding over thousands of political executions.

Of course not. Republicans generally don’t give a shit. They particularly don’t give a shit about women being forced to spend money in pregnancy/birth. If hard pressed, a Republican might be able to express concern for the money (i.e., that it’s not all going to the Republican who is talking), but never for the woman.

It’s honestly something I noticed even before the party went completely wacko insane. The diehard anti-choicers I grew up with never could understand why a pregnant young woman would want want to abort for one. Empathy, ideology aside I think is what really separates liberals and conservatives. My one brother and I keep on observing one of our conservative old friends who consistently shows that he lacks that ability. My brother OTOH can show empathy and understanding to tribes that have seldom been contacted by westerners.

If you think the US is facing disaster under Trump and the Republicans, it’s in very bad taste to be so damn smug and happy about it.
Every single one of these crap stains that abstained or voted third party has a half-vote for Trump to atone for.

I consider myself a staunch liberal but revolution should be the last recourse. As Jefferson wrote “When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth,” We didn’t need a revolution last year. Changes, yes but revolution, no.

It’s possible that the present split in US politics is more fundamental than the split that ended up in the civil war.
Slavery and Anti-slavery were both reality based positions, and were attacked and defended with mostly reality based public policy arguments.

Eric Wemple, WaPo: Lawyer’s claim: Feds issued a subpoena regarding Fox News sexual harassment scandal
Fox News responded to Tantaros’s complaint by seeking to steer it into an arbitration proceeding under the supervision of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) — the better to keep it out of the sunshine of the civil justice system. The network also alleged that the real reason for Tantaros’s fall from grace at Fox News was that she failed to comply with the network’s book guidelines for “Tied Up in Knots: How Getting What We Wanted Made Women Miserable.”
New York Supreme Court Judge David Benjamin Cohen ruled that Tantaros’s complaint must indeed be moved to arbitration. As a side note, Gretchen Carlson, whose July sexual harassment suit triggered a flood of stories about Ailes’s conduct, received a large settlement and an apology and has taken to lobbying against arbitration clauses.
In the hearing, Burstein expressed his wish to amend the Tantaros suit by adding racketeering and electronic surveillance charges — a reference to the intelligence unit once operated by Ailes to spy on Fox News talent and critics. The judge told Burstein that he could not so amend the complaint.
As far as the network’s settlements go, there may be some material for inspection. Just last month, news broke that Fox News months ago had reached a pricey, hush-hush settlement with former on-air personality Juliet Huddy over sexual harassment claims against O’Reilly. At that time, veteran New York Magazine reporter Gabriel Sherman noted that the network had inked settlements with at least four women since the departure of Ailes.
re: #34 MsJ
I’m seeing that it may be in relation to violation of wiretapping laws plus SEC violations relating to Andrea Tantaros’ ongoing lawsuit against the network. She’s alleging that the network didn’t reveal lawsuit settlements to the SEC, and that the network engaged in illegal wiretapping.
The judge in the case didn’t allow an amended complaint with the allegations, but SEC investigators may nonetheless take another look based on these claims.

re: #91 Myron Falwell
If anything, it is a miracle that we haven’t collapsed in outright revolution since the founding (Civil War notwithstanding).
We were edging toward some kind of revolt during the Great Depression. Had FDR not taken his quick, decisive actions to ameliorate poverty and unemployment, there could have been serious trouble. Governments with large masses of hungry, unemployed people don’t typically last very long. China today knows this. As long as its economy provides people jobs and enough money to live comfortably, the Party does not need to worry about mass protests or insurrections, especially as it is very deft at putting down anything remotely challenging the Party’s authority.
Donald Trump is being taken down by Teen Vogue, the CIA, the National Park Service, and Oprah. This is the best episode of Scooby Doo ever.

I don’t know. In the US, the population was mollified by what FDR appeared to be doing even though very little of it had any real effect and it was only WWII’s Keynesian spending that finally made a real difference. There is unlikely to be any such recourse in a nuclear armed world.

Oh, I realize FDR’s New Deal may have had little effect in ending the Depression, but it did quell some of the anti-government feelings simmering in the country. Roosevelt, being the smart man he was, understood what factors enabled the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the rise of Hitler and Mussolini in the ’30s. He wanted to pour water on any smoldering fires.
The Republicans then, like the ones now, never quite understood the need to at least try to empathize with the masses. They didn’t regain the White House until Eisenhower was elected, because people remembered Hoover all too well.

“…Bringing Mr. Feinberg into the administration to conduct the review is seen as a way of injecting a Trump loyalist into a world the White House views with suspicion. But top intelligence officials fear that Mr. Feinberg is being groomed for a high position in one of the intelligence agencies.
Mr. Bannon and Mr. Kushner, according to current and former intelligence officials and Republican lawmakers, had at one point considered Mr. Feinberg for either director of national intelligence or chief of the Central Intelligence Agency’s clandestine service, a role that is normally reserved for career intelligence officers, not friends of the president. Mr. Feinberg’s only experience with national security matters is his firm’s stakes in a private security company and two gun makers.

It’s just so sad to think about. When I was a kid, I had heard that my dad’s dad lost a sibling as a child. I didn’t know how to verify it since he himself was gone and I had only met his only sister left once and I was only seven and she had been born turns out after her older sister died. Ended up being true. Poor thing got a case of spinal mengitits on Christmas Eve at the age of 5. I cannot imagine what my great grandmother, a devout Catholic woman must have felt.

Client talks up case to two lawyers. Partner gets excited, tells client he’s got a great case and that it’s a slam dunk. Client is convinced he was wronged and won’t settle for less than everything.
Associate: ahem, so I’ve done some research. Here’s what the law says we have to prove. And so far it sounds like we are missing three of the five elements. Maybe we should think about tempering our expectations
Client and Partner: get the fuck out

EPA staff told to prepare for Trump executive orders: sources
Staff at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have been told that President Donald Trump is preparing a handful of executive orders to reshape the agency, to be signed once a new administrator is confirmed, two sources who attended the meeting told Reuters on Wednesday.
A senior EPA official who had been briefed by members of the Trump administration mentioned the executive orders at a meeting of staffers in the EPA’s Office of General Counsel on Tuesday, but did not provide details about what the orders would say, said the sources, who asked not to be named.
“It was just a heads-up to expect some executive orders, that’s it,” one of the sources said.
The second source said attendees at the meeting were told Trump would sign between two and five executive orders.
re: #194 HappyWarrior
It’s just so sad to think about. When I was a kid, I had heard that my dad’s dad lost a sibling as a child. I didn’t know how to verify it since he himself was gone and I had only met his only sister left once and I was only seven and she had been born turns out after her older sister died. Ended up being true. Poor thing got a case of spinal mengitits on Christmas Eve at the age of 5. I cannot imagine what my great grandmother, a devout Catholic woman must have felt.
I’ve discovered my mom’s parents lost their firstborn in infancy, as did my paternal grandfather’s half-brother and his wife. Both deaths were in the early 20th century, so infant mortality was pretty bad not very long ago.

And then there’s mothers dying giving birth. My cousin’s husband asked me to research his family a little bit since his dad’s mom had died giving birth to his father. This was all just after WWII. It just astounded me to think about. I think that’s exactly why romanticizing the past is so foolish. I mean I’ve done it before. Everyone has wondered what it would be like to live in “simpler” times at one point but most of us when we really think about, we realize how silly it is.

Yeah. Good old days if you were a rich white guy. If you were anything else though. I actually got a little sad looking at the Pittsburgh Post Gazette archives.

It made me wonder what she could have doe had she been able to attend college and get a career. I mean she did have a great life and my grandfather ddi treat her as his equal but in these times, I have no doubt she would have gone to college and gotten a degree on her own.

My son had a burst appendix at age four — twelve days in hospital, two surgeries. Started throwing up Monday night, we took him to ER first thing Tuesday morning. (Didn’t know throwing up was a symptom of appendicitis or we’d’ve gone in Monday night) Surgery Tuesday afternoon; then had to do a mad dash to a different hospital 30 miles across town to see my mom on Wednesday morning, before she went under for a quad bypass. Kid had the second surgery a week later to fix an adhesion. It was a not good experience.
EDIT: Kid came out of it okay, mind you! Laparoscopic so only a few small holes, and he healed well once they fixed the adhesion. MY nerves took a beating, though.

As to your tweet about America needing to do “soul-searching”, this doesn’t bode well at all:
Despite the public’s increasing misgivings about Trump’s behavior and tactics in the White House, he still beats Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a hypothetical matchup, 42 percent to 36 percent — a fairly impressive margin for a less-than-popular president against the prominent senator.
…
“The slate of bad news for the administration is catching up to him, although it’s important to note that his approval rating remains sky-high among people who voted for him in November.”
…
Asked for whom they would vote if the 2020 election were held today, 43 percent say they would likely vote for the Democrat, while only 35 percent say they would support a second Trump term. Twenty-three percent are undecided.
