Republicans are weirdly okay with this. Didn't seem to bother them 40 years ago, when Reagan was clearly either involved in Iran/Contra (criminal; impeachable) or had no idea what was going on in his White House (incompetent; impeachable).

Don’t be too hard on Katie Zacharia. To be Trump’s Press Secretary, you have to listen to him lie, write down his lies, repeat those lies to a White House press corps that dutifully transcribes the lies and repeats those lies to the public as if they might not be lies. It’s not as easy as it sounds.

Went to a job interview a few years ago; they used one of those bullshit personality/criminality tests. I told the person: "I could make this say whatever I want, so let's just skip it. Just hire me. I'll do the job well, I'll be nice to people, and I won't steal anything." Did not hire me.

Damnit, shoulda thought of that. There were three or four County positions with an incumbent running unopposed (all currently held by Democrats except that one). I wonder if those jobs just go to whoever is willing to become a candidate for them. Not sure why they're even elected positions.

I screwed up when I voted the other day. A Republican was running unopposed for Surveyor. I left it blank, but could've written in a candidate; there was a list of certified write-in candidates at the end. I don't know if it really matters what party a County Surveyor is with, but still.

This is a step in that direction — clearly established precedent of the constitutionality of sanctuary laws means that a Supremacy clause preemption argument falls flat, so nypd can be tasked to enforce sanctuary laws without federal intervention being legal. Now they won’t, initially, BUT, that’s
