[quote=“SlackerInc, post:31168, topic:774070”] I often encounter people who wonder why I choose to live on the Minnesota side of the river here in the Fargo-Moorhead metro.

Who will be affected by this? Oh, yeah; military members who are stationed overseas and wish to get naturalized, military members whose foreign national immediate family members wish to get immigrant visas when their sponsor transfers back to the US, and, this cannot surprise anyone, people who want to apply for refugee status. I wonder whom else Dumbtrump will screw with this. _“International adoptions,”_ too?? We really **don’t** want any foreigners here, do we? _“Not consistent with what President Trump said in the State of the Union (address)…”_??? Oh, that’s easy: HE FUCKING LIED.

Republicans have spent decades trying to tie crazier things to the Clintons, so here I bravely put forth the notion that the following involves Trump. > **[Frank Cali, Gambino mob boss, gunned down in Staten Island gangland hit](https://abc7ny.com/frank-cali-francesco-wife-killed/5190797/)** > > Francesco "Frankie Boy" Cali, who purportedly ran the family once led by John Gotti, was 53. Authorities say he was shot anywhere from six to 10 times in the torso around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. “The reputed boss of the Gambino crime family was shot and killed steps from his front door on Staten Island in what is believed to be the first shooting death of a mob boss in New York in three decades. …” ---
