6 people including a seven year old. Terrible.

That's what I think too. Certainly some people are being charged with similar offenses with a mixed record on convictions.

???She blocked traffic to obstruct their actions with regard to immigration enforcement. Unless folks are claiming it was just a weird coincidence. It strains credulity. I still don't think she should have been shot and I don't think ICE should have been there in force in the first place.

That's not correct. ICE has authority to arrest anyone if a crime was committed against the United States in their presence. In practice, that means assault of an officer like you mentioned but also obstruction of their immigration enforcement activities. The last news report I saw something ice...

I think the writer was sloppy and referring only to detaining US citizens for immigration violations. The very next paragraph is this one: "ICE can detain citizens if they allegedly commit a crime, such as interfering with an immigration operation or assaulting officers. ProPublica’s list...

I think you are right about the first part and fear you are right about the second part.

Yeah. I do think it was very likely she was trying to block ICE although I guess it's possible she was trying to turn around and avoid a problem. I don't think she should have been killed for it but probably deserved to be arrested.

I like venmo but never understood the feature of publicly telling whoever that I'm paying so and so for dinner or a soccer tournament or whatever. Makes no sense to me.

That's essentially the model in Germany. Kids are sorted to a university versus a vocational track at around age 10. It's not rigid and there's a hybrid option as well as kids that switch from University to practical and vice versa. But this education model is definitely not unheard of.

I heard the same thing. Magic, Bird and Pippin didn't like him either.

Jordan and Isaiah have a mutual hate for years. Jordan kept him off the Dream Team in 1992. Jordan said it's either him or me.

I think not being on Fox News has allowed Tucker to be more independent from the Republican line. He's still conservative but he now takes positions outside of Republican orthodoxy. Of course now he has a podcast in his living room instead of making his millions on a network desk. Some...

I liked his economic ideas but not his Israel support and his messaging. The Democratic party has declined under him. I'd like to see someone that could rally the middle of the voting spectrum with policies that didn't actively turn off voters, but that's not him. He wants to keep the base...

Might not be that far off which is shocking to me. $50B for border wall plus additional money's for enforcement personnel and detention beds. There are much cheaper and more humane ways of doing this and Congress should have done it a long time ago but Trump went with the most extreme way.

The most prominent example of a non-career politician that I can think of is Donald J Trump. At this point, I prefer a little bit more experience and wisdom.
