If Elmo read the new Testament, he'd claim Jesus had suicidal empathy. That's the whole point of religion, after honoring your god.

If they're not following the Constitution and proper procedures, they're violating the law and should be treated as such. Time for new Nuremberg style trials for ICE and its leaders.

Trump has been unseen for 3 days. Did he have a psychotic event that they're hiding?

In Lyon, the outside airport parking lots have solar panels mounted above the parking area, much like the roof of a carport. Some vinters have solar mounted high above the vines to provide power and some needed shade in areas of intense sun.

If you have the money, emigrating isn't necessary. Many nations have 90 day visitor visas. So it's 90 days in Canada, 90 in the EU, 90 in the UK, and so on.

This Vance post demonstrates the initials J D stand for just dumb. The few universities I'm familiar with are aggressively encouraging profs and students to commercialize research or take it public. There's even financial assistance.

Does anyone have a picture of sprites erupting from the top of a massive thunderstorm? That's also impressive, not like this, but the same phenomenon from the opposite side.

With CBS reporting, 60% of the population doesn't earn enough to maintain a decent lifestyle, it's understandable many didn't think the economy wad good. Unfortunately, they believed trump's bs.

The democrats only had a 60 senator (filibuster proof) majority for 59 business days. Al Franken couldn't take his seat on time due to a recount, and Teddy Kennedy became ill and left early. Obama was concentrating on rescuing the economy.

If the child is born with birth defects caused by this procedure, who is responsible to care for it and raise it? This would put an unfair burden on the family.
