It’s ok, I’m sure the president threatening to dock their pay will convince them to stick around. /s

Oh don’t worry, he’s not going to pay them.

2nd amendment is the right to bear arms.

Because Trump can’t stay on one subject for more than about 30 seconds. He was probably rambling while Putin nodded along.

This is one of those “an unstoppable force meets an immovable object” sort of situations.

They’ll try anything except solving the real problem.

Being some flavor of evangelical who raves about “groomers” seems to be the best predictor of being an actual groomer I’ve seen so far.

Every time we think the bar can’t get lower, they go ahead and prove us wrong.

My hypothesis is they deputized a bunch of random who answered internet ads and offered them a fixed amount per person they bring in. They get paid the same, so why bother checking?

The word gets used so often as a pejorative it’s weird to see it used accurately by that crowd.

Because they wouldn’t get to that position if they were just plain stupid. But it’s amazing what someone can fail to understand when their livelihood depends on it.

It’s not stupidity. It’s willful blindness.

Trump and Co don’t even think about feeding soldiers, let alone poor children.

Agreed. Stop subsidizing it. This will obviously hurt the farmers in the area but hey, free market. Insurance isn’t a charity.

It probably would. Just wear your most tacti-cool gear and join a group. You’d need several people on board to make a difference though.

Those assholes don’t show name or insignia. Show them the problem with that.

The club itself probably is. The restaurant specifically, maybe, maybe not. I’ve been to a bunch of yacht clubs over the years and the restaurant doesn’t always break even. Part of the appeal is having the exclusive spot. If members need to subsidize it, they’re often OK with that.

Broken clocks and all that

As much as I want to believe this, so far the only source I’ve seen is Dean Blundell who is not what you would call a real journalist.

So far the excuse he’s been using to end run Congress is that it’s a national emergency. I suppose Hollywood profits are also an emergency?

What am I ever doing expecting consistency from this guy? That’s just asking for frustration.

Everything you said, and the longest un defended border in the world. Imagine if the Taliban could drive to major US cities.
