Should newspapers print honest obituaries of abusive people?

  1. "Deport Musk" bumper stickers should be a thing.

  2. That one corner, the one with the wire in it, looks like the ear of a horse/donkey, or where a stocking is hung on a nail.
    Found in a zip-loc bag with 6 Christmas shapes. A set of 7 cutters doesn't sound right.
    It may not be Christmas oriented, However removing the Christmas restraint doesn't help me at all.
    Hey, (slaps forehead) maybe it's a foreign language cookie.

    “But the real culprit was even stranger.”
    I disagree, a brown bear in CA would be much stranger than common insurance fraud.

    Is everyone tRump doesn’t want going to be sent to Mexico?
    No matter where they’re from?
    Mexico may pay for a wall after all.

    Honest obits are a good idea. The editor should be able to separate honest descriptions of faults, from hateful spewing of venom/flames.

  3. Mass deportation will have a devastating ripple effect on the economy: abandoned property, defaults on loans, loss of tax revenue (income, sales, property, utilities, etc), and further backlogs in courts (family, foreclosure, bankruptcy, immigration).
    First, and foremost is DUE PROCESS. The Constitution guarantees due process to EVERYONE. This means notice AND an opportunity to be heard. A person in the United States for more than one year, even without documentation, is entitled to his day in court, even if he hasn't a snowball's chance of winning, to show why he should be allowed to stay, or even to prove that he maybe a US citizen but wasn't aware of it. (It does happen.)
    Yes the immigrants, authorized or not, have reason to be afraid. It will cost them a fortune to fight to stay
    But Americans should be afraid also. If the courts support mass deportation, Americans will suffer more economic hardships than they do now.
