That’s genius. It doesn’t violate even the strictest interpretation of the DOI rules. Having it in a sleeve is no different than pulling it out of a “Fuck Trump” wallet. And you don’t have to see Trump’s face except for the times when you have to present it to a park employee on entry.

No. I still like “regime,” but will also accept “junta.”

It sure seems like they realize that everything Trump does is making the country less safe. And they plan to continue to piss off the rest of the world until everyone hates us. When the population is sick, hungry and living in the streets, they can rest assured that at least nobody would dare mess with the U.S.

He just spent all that money on ICE agents. Maybe he could just ship them off to Greenland?

We already have enough trouble with climate change destroying the Greenland ice sheet. Do we really need to send ICE agents to shoot it in the face as well?

I was thinking they could be volunteered for the first Mars colony personally.

Are you kidding?? The sleeve identifies you as a Domestic Terrorist and they can shoot you in the face, because absolute immunity. 🤞

Agree. Park rangers are some of the most carring people we have. I know one - Science Teacher. He does ‘Ranger Service’ in the summer when school is out.

I guess some of them carry .357 magnums now. They do deal with some big dangerous animals. Two and four legged animals.

Here is as good a place as any of the Republicant/Dumpster fire threads:  
Got my **January Medicare Surprise** envelope today. **TRIPLED!** I now pay more per month than I did for 3 months.

My generic blood pressure meds went down from $5 for a 3 month supply to $0.66 for the same time. Not quite 1700% but it sure makes up for the premium escalation - **NOT!**

Trump wrote tonight on one of his feeds that Venezuela is now ‘rich and safe.’ It’s natural for upper class politicians to associate the two characteristics together. I know he’s just trying to draw equity firms and similar others.

Yet I resent a common implication that one can change a nation in two weeks by taking out a president. The second part that’s crappy is the correlation of ‘rich and safe.’ I know a family in a walled gated community of millionaires in the US that just had their house burglarized. ‘Rich and safe’ aren’t automatic, you tottering skivver.

I doubt most Venezuelans would agree with that assessment today, in any event.

It’s probably safer now than it was 8 days ago, but probably not as safe as it was 9 days ago.

Not very safe at all for Americans, at least, if the NY Post is to be believed (which I know is questionable)–

Well, now that at least one of the big oil companies are saying that ‘Venezueler’ is not good for the bottom line, this rotten to the core administration needs a new excuse to go bomb them.
