How do you spell “smug?”   Facts presented which don’t conform, or corroborate, your personal bias never happened!

We can’t fix what is broken within immigration if we refuse to first recognize that it is broken.

The only entity standing in the way of comprehensive immigration reform is the Republican Party, and people like you who support them.

I could not in good conscience steal a joke this good, so I'm embedding the tweet - 

Yes, but much later than the Song Dynasty.

She appears to misunderstand what a sanctuary city is, and has shown no desire to correct herself.

Anyone who reads the material included with that post would know, therefore, that since the migrants arriving in NYC have already been administratively processed at the border, ICE detention isn't something that is an issue with them. So the "sanctuary city" status is irrelevant for them.

Going to take a social media siesta.  I'll see you all in early November.  Hopefully things around the world will have improved by then.

Taibbi just gets more embarrassing every day. No. Not embarrassing. Disgusting.

The demonization of Fauci is one of the grossest right-wing character assassinations in years. Not since Kerry got swift-boated - turning a true hero and man of conscience into the very opposite of that. They take a man like Fauci, who is  one of our greatest public servants and just turn him into a monster - just food for the deplorables.

I'll vote for Biden.  He's done a fairly good job.  But I also want older politicians to step aside so younger folks can gain experience.  The issue with choosing Biden or another Democrat is that it's too late.  The who elses would have had to be in prominent junior positions for the last several years so that we would know about them.  But they have been kept down by old senators and representatives.  As it is, I dismiss physical frailties as unimportant.  FDR led the country from a wheelchair.  His mental acuity seems fine for now.  He also has the good sense to have a professional staff, as opposed to yes men. 

as far as polls go, I don't think Biden has really started campaigning yet.  But it is about time to start.

Yep, bedsheets for the very late- night sessions (*) (*) (*)

Mtierney, I can’t read the article cited as it’s behind a paywall.
