    You see, the National Party never won the popular vote. They had barely 37%. They only got in because of the electoral system. Rural votes were more heavily represented in Parliament. They barely squeaked in. It was never meant to happen. It was a glitch.

    You'd go through road blocks, or find riot cops on the street, and on the radio, Bobby McFerrin would be singing ' Don't Worry Be Happy'. That song was number one on the South African charts for the longest time.

    My 5-yr-old client can’t tell me what country she is from. We prepare her case by drawing pictures with crayons of the gang members that would wait outside her school. Sometimes she wants to draw ice cream cones and hearts instead. She is in deportation proceedings alone.

    "The child — in the middle of the hearing — started climbing up on the table. It really highlighted the absurdity of what we’re doing with these kids.”

    Couple hundred people gathered for the nightly vigil at . The federales are still there, but fewer in number than earlier in the day. Their main aim seems to be keeping the entrance to open.

    Scalia died with nearly a full year left in Obama’s term. Before Garland, six modern justices were nominated in the last year of a president’s term. All got a hearing, all got a vote, five were confirmed. Don’t post misleading newsmaker quotes from liars without context.

    Sen. McConnell on Supreme Court vacancy: "This is not 2016. There aren’t the final months of a second-term, constitutionally lame-duck presidency with a presidential election fast approaching. We're right in the middle of this president’s very first term"

    The "barbarians" invading the Roman Empire were overwhelmingly from Europe itself, and by the 4th century, often already Christian. They had been well known neighbors--and often allies, or soldiers, or trading partners, or just subjugated to the whims of Rome--for centuries.

    "The massive migration of barbarians into the Roman Empire...changed European civilization permanently...Will the latter-day descendants of those Europeans be able to hold back the 'barbarian invasions' from Africa in the 21st century?" Real words published by Rod Dreher today.

    DEFINITION OF CURB-STOMPED: "Making someone bite the curb is a form of assault in which a victim's mouth is forcefully placed on a curb and then stomped from behind, causing severe injuries and sometimes death." CC: You said this. Why are you now denying it?

    1. Let's be clear here. The NRA's has absolutely called for journalists to be beaten to death. She denies it, but the record is clear. It's just that she's so flippant with such violent threats that she has perhaps lost touch with what she has said.

    Too bad socialists are the only ones advocating for them. But if your whole personal project is dressing up everything in silly pseudo-liberalism I can see how that would bother you

    "Universal health care, publicly funded education, and affordable housing" is just straight liberal democracy. There's no reason to dress it up in silly pseudo-socialism. Don't like foreclosure fraud? Great. Neither did half of the Democratic caucus.
