No, it's not just about dogs
And the usual suspects, like Occasional-Cortex, have had fits. Because they really don't want to talk about what these asshats have in mind. Because they know so many people won't like it.

Friend sent me a link to this guy once before on making black powder,
The reactions to that NYeffingCity official who wants dogs banned as pets
Son has said a bit about how locals in Iraq treated dogs, which led- to the US troops happiness- to the dogs they adopted not letting the locals into their area.
Sent by commenter: 'Labour mayor is found guilty of helping hid her son's phone
Well, isn't that just wonderful.
'Mother love' for her 40-year-old son clouded her judgement.

Yeah, NeweffingYork City is going to get it, bigger
Guarantee you this commie will try to force something- some things- that are going to be either flat undoable and/or unConstitutional(also undoable) and get really nasty when told he can't.
And, since one of his clowns already wants dogs removed as indoor pets(they're haram, y'know), I wonder when the first sharia patrols will start running and giving people orders?

They knew it because our Professional Journalists and lots of academics
Borrowing from Insty,
I liked political theater, so I watched that initially rooting for Clarence Thomas to be taken down. By the very end, I believed the seeds of my future were planted right there when I realized that Ted Kennedy knew something. What did he know that he could ask Clarence Thomas these questions of a man who came from humble beginnings as an African-American? What did he know about the media? What did he know about the political process? What did he know about Hollywood? That they would side with a known Lothario with Chappaquiddick, you know, in his background. That they would allow for him and his allies in the Democratic Party to ask this man in the realm of privacy have you ever rented any pornography. Do you know who Long Dong Silver is? It was so obvious that this was a takedown that eventually I started to see things through what I called the Democrat Media Complex.

I hate crap like this.

Well, Ms. Bondi, it shouldn't be pending,
According to this on-line culture reporter,
Overall I like Rand Paul,
Now ask the question: Did you think that this was going to be easy? Did you think that these violent assholes were just going to submit meekly to ICE agents and comply with their lawful actions? Of course they wouldn’t, and haven’t. They’ve been resisting ICE with all their might — in one case, deserting his own 5-year-old child to make his escape — and at all stages, these criminals have been assisted in their resistance by the efforts of Marxist scum in (surprise, surprise) Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.
Oh yeah, maybe ICE has lost the “public trust”, in those Marxist hellholes and strongholds. In the rest of the country, where local law enforcement has been helping ICE remove the cancer? Not so much.

Commenter Orr left a link to this,
The communist government warned international airlines they can no longer refuel at its main airport in Havana for the next month after Donald Trump threatened tariffs on any nation that supplies Cuba with oil. A-1 jet fuel won’t be available at Jose Marti International Airport beginning Tuesday through March 11, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said in a notice Sunday.
The fuel supply situation on Cuba is critical, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday, according to news agency Interfax. However, he didn’t specify whether Moscow is planning to provide oil products to the island.
Russia’s largest airline, Aeroflot, cancelled its Monday commercial flight to Cuba and instead sent the empty plane to pick up stranded tourists, Russia’s tour operators association said in a statement. Aeroflot flights to Cuba have been suspended until late March, it added. The group estimates there are about 4,500 Russians vacationing on the island at present.
Nicaragua, meanwhile, altered its immigration rules to block Cuban citizens from entering the Central American country without a visa. Nearly one in five Cuban residents has fled the island over the past decade amid a worsening economic crisis.
Cuba, I once described to my kids as 'An island in a sea full of fish, with year-round growing seasons, and full of people not afraid to work, and they've made everyone except the Party faithful poor and hungry.'That line about 'What can't last forever, won't' covers their mess nicely.

I ran across this a couple of years ago, lost track of it, and just found it again, what DID happen to the buffalo? (added)

But I thought all the racists were Republicans or conservatives in general?

They're also idiots, but the WHO is a bunch of bastards
Guess what?
They still say we don't have their permission. I say "The Marines didn't blow up the place or hang any of you on their way out, so you'd better go with that."
Also in the list of idiots is leftists in Minnesota
who, as the View put it,
Amazing, isn't it? I'll bet if these asshats would tell the truth they'd say that if someone raped their daughter or wife they'd want them dead; but the idea of ICE catching illegal alien rapists(and murderers, and thieves and so forth) just pisses them off.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
