Is the Pope American?

You need money for lawsuits, and Democrats are too busy funding septuagenarians running for office to pay for this shit

No, that's just her natural expression

The charges are bullshit, though

The charges, which date back to 2016, allege he transported undocumented individuals between Texas and Maryland and other states more than 100 times.

They are basically accusing him on going on road trips with brown people

So, that phrase doesn't actually appear in the US Constitution, but the Fifth Amendment does explicitly guarantee "due process", and the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" has always been seen as directly tied to that

That reads like an AI wrote it

The irony is that they often have backup diesel generators, so even if they cause a blackout they will still be able to service everyone's AI requests to do their homework for them

No, it's the Superb Owl

Maybe he can go and be President there

Who uses bank accounts anymore? They probably bought a bunch of $TRUMP. Doesn't every US President have their own private currency?

I wonder if he realizes how phallic this all sounds

Um Ackshually, the Census is supposed to enumerate all persons living in the US, regardless of citizenship status, and that enumeration is supposed to be directly used by the Federal Government to apportion Congressional seats. So they are already counted, or at least they're supposed to be.

The first Trump Administration was in charge of the last census, and tried to get a question added asking directly about citizenship status. It got squashed in the courts, because citizenship status is not supposed to matter, and the only effect that would have is to have non-citizens avoiding the census.

The whole point of the 3/5 compromise wasthat enslaved humans were considered to be worth 60% of a non-enslaved human for census purposes.

I'll save you all a click

Disney is planning to introduce “virtual storefronts” to its popular streaming services, including Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN. These storefronts will allow viewers to order snacks or pick out products they’ve seen in their favorite shows, all while continuing to stream their movie or show. Disney+ subscribers will see interactive ads pop up as well.

So, basically, stuffing more ads into the premium service you paid for (presumably to avoid ads). These people don't get it, do they?

They don't have to. Donald Trump doesn't need their votes anymore.

We can post some smug leopards-eating-faces memes, though....

I was going to say that protesting at the hotels might be too much, but the article says these Nazis are harassing the wait staff and cleaning staff at the hotel asking about their immigration status. If I were the Management there, I would kick them out just based on that.

As a man, I've never been made to feel excluded by gender equality in any way whatsoever.

Same here. However, I suspect you and I are not zero-sum thinkers, and can conceive of a future in which both men and women can apply themselves to their full potential.

But it seems like a key part of the counter-movement to gender equality is based on the notion that every time a woman gets a job, they are taking it away from a more qualified man. It seems to be built on a mountain of insecurity more than anything else.

Sounds like Congress needs to ask her why she lied to them in the first place. Alas, they will not, because she is already playing the "Fake News" card.

My experience is that managers don't normally "overcompensate in the other direction" on purpose. After all, if they are friendly with someone, they will be inclined to help them.

Two exceptions:

1. Bad managers make bad decisions generally, and usually for illogical reasons, so they might do this by accident.
2. Owners of family businesses can be much harder on their kids when they first start out, because the owners mean to have the kids run the business when they retire, so want to do a "trial by fire"

So, in that case, since we can rule out him trying to get in your pants (unless he happens to be in the closet, but that seems unlikely) the key thing you need to watch out for is any appearance of favoritism. Even if the guy is a good manager and is not letting his free time with you affect his decisions, it might affect how other people on your team perceive your assignments. It could also make your boss uncomfortable if they think that you have more access to the CEO.

And everyone is human, the CEO might be older but he clearly has his own issues. Look out to make sure he is not using you as a proxy for his son. But, on the other hand, if he simply has a desire to mentor someone and you happen to share similar enough interests, there is nothing wrong with that.

Like anything else involving adults, though, communication and transparency is the key thing. When people ask you what you both talk about, be honest, without oversharing. And try not to accept any gifts or favors that make you feel uncomfortable -- you are allowed to say no, even if the other side perceives it as "generous".

"I mean, does it matter? They all look the same anyway...."
