Plan B Forum

IMHO, charity is best done when it is anonymous and this is encouraged in most religions and moral codes. While there is a benefit to setting an example for others to follow, such as becoming a published benefactor of an arts organization or museum, I have usually found this is donor more by the ben...

My Google calendar on my Android phone notes it as Presidents' Day. But if it's actually still 'Washington''s Birthday', observing it on the 16th? That's closer to Lincoln's Birthday (Feb 12th) than George's (Feb 22nd). As I recall, when they made the change one of the "reasons" was that Washington...

es Charles has power of pardon - in fact all criminal cases in the UK are Rex vs A Name (for those of you who never did Latin, Rex = King and Regina = Queen) so he would be prosecuting his own brother. Although he has that power he would never use it: the monarchy is in enough trouble as it is with...

Wouldn't bug me in the least, but then I don't have very much respect for the judgment of Charles (more than I do for the judgment of Trump, but that's such a low bar it's meaningless). Politicians (and I include Constitutional monarchs in this class) often have a tendency to pardon friends and fami...

Can Charles pardon him and, if he can, will he? it's a low bar, but let's hope Charles is better than Trump.

Time enough at last?

At present I am researching language learning opportunities to learn not Castilian Spanish, but Puerto Rican Spanish. There are podcasts and YouTube tutorials, how cool it that? I can speak Puerto Rican Spanish, but it is often peppered with Castillian Words and pronunciations (including the lisp w...

I didn't 4realize that about size; I stand corrected. It's population is only around 2.6 million as I recall, not great, but bigger than many of the least populous states. It should be clear that many Puerto Ricans do not want to become Americans in the cultural sense. English is America’s unifying...

"This radical rule became the legal foundation for the Green New Scam,"

Said the Orange, same old, Scum.

The Puerto Ricans desperately want freedom and independence; they want to be their own nation with their own culture, but they are afraid to take the leap. Have you ever even been to Puerto Rico; do you even know any Puerto Ricans. FWIW, most of those living on the island don't want independence (a...

I wonder who told him cocaine was brown.

Is it just one vote per voter, or is it every voter voting multiple times, or perhaps every voter voting as many times as they’ve managed to get registered?

Like new...never used

I don't know; I might even consider driving there to celebrate with like minded individuals; it would be a long haul, but worth it.

An excellent plan!

And lest someone thinks overstaying the visa waiver program 90 days is a problem, yes, the person overstaying can be deported (and really has no defense to it as an agreement to accept deportation and leave on request is part of the VWP), but there is an exception to the marriage visa program which ...

In Alabama, I believe prison guards are sworn officers with limited police powers. If that's the case it is news t me; but I see you talk about "limited' powers. FWIW, IRS investigators are a lot like ICE; they can detain people, but only for crimes under the tax code; otherwise, they have no juris...

I personally think these records should also be placed in a sealed archive. The.y have historical value because of the nature of the election, and they should be securely stored in a time capsule. Why? Not only is the election over, but the term of the person declared winner is over. What possible ...

Is there some universal definition of 'police'? The ICE guys have POLICE on their uniforms, but AFAIK they are not police and do not have those powers. If I recall correctly, police are generally recognized as state entities that have broad based law enfo4rcement powers under the state power to pol...

You are partially correct; they do have some limited right to arrest/detain persons actively obstructing them, bu they have no authority to detain US citizens in their facilities and must release or turn them over to legitimate law enforcement for charging and adjudication. Not saying they always co...
