…oh, and the next time you hear about “No Corporate Tax” Pat Toomey and others demonizing about “sanctuary cities,” I would ask that you consider this.
You want to know what defines a so-called “sanctuary city” (a political term and not a legal one, by the way)? If Immigration and Customs Enforcement wants to detain an individual suspected of some kind of wrongdoing, well gosh, they just have to go to court and show cause in order to get an arrest warrant (what a novel, quaint notion in the era of Generalissimo Trump – observing and honoring the rule of law). That applies if you live in a “sanctuary city.” If you don’t, then ICE can have you detained indefinitely without an arrest warrant (gee, didn’t we have a problem with doing that leading to the whole mess over trying to close Guantanamo and all those people indefinitely detained without charges filed against them, with trying to close it and failing perhaps the biggest monument, if you will, to Repug congressional obstruction?).
And by the way, not that it matters now of course, but Hillary Clinton had it exactly right on this issue. And when I saw how squishy Katie McGinty was, I basically knew she would lose (and by the way, as far as I'm concerned, the newscaster in this clip is categorically wrong on this issue)…
…and Sam Seder tells us that Repug U.S. House Rep Bill Huizenga (Stupid-MI) is basically guilty of child endangerment at a minimum as far as I’m concerned, all for the sake of promoting Huizenga’s “free market” bona fides at the expense of his son’s health (stupid to be sure and probably worse, but at least he wasn’t dumb enough to do this before the election – wish he had, though…the garbage coming from Huizenga on this is definitely one source of “fake news,” by the way)…
...and here are some seasonal favorites - yeah, nothing like getting together with family this time of year, is there?...
...and I like Seth MacFarlane's cover, but to me, there's nothing like the original...
...and I don't hear this tune nearly enough for my liking this time of year, so here it is again (slightly NSFW)...
...and I'll bet you knew this was coming, right?...
…but I’ll bet you didn’t know THIS was coming too – consider this to be my tribute to a true broadcasting legend, and that would be Dave Conant of public radio station WRTI of Temple University, who signed off today after an illustrious career spanning over 40 years in radio (here)…his forte was classical music, so here is a seasonal tune in his honor (the dancing isn't bad either).
