How To Commit Democratic Party Suicide
Boiler replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
James Carville Fumes Over DNC Land Acknowledgment: 'Try To Win F**king Elections' DNC Chairman Ken Martin opened the Minneapolis summit by introducing Lindy Sowmick, treasurer of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and self-described “Indigenous ####### woman,” who read an acknowledgement in honor of the region’s Dakota people. Carville argued that such rituals hurt the ailing Democratic Party, as right-wing voices mock them as signs of weakness for their audience. The New York Times reported that the Democratic Party is losing registered voters at a staggering rate while President Donald Trump continues to amass power. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/james-carville-fuming-dnc-land-acknowledgment_n_68b098d9e4b0d087ed3f39de -
How To Commit Democratic Party Suicide

https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/care-bank-denver-paid-leave-program-eligibility/# who would have thunk The Care Bank program went into effect in Denver in 2024, allowing city workers to take up to eight weeks of paid leave for a variety of reasons including personal health issues, caring for a child, or caring for a family member with a serious health condition. The program cost nothing for city employees, pays them 100% of their salary, and turned out to be extremely popular -- so popular that in the Denver paramedic division, leave usage in 2024 shot up 334%, necessitating overtime payments to employees to fill positions vacated by other employees utilizing the paid leave program. This year, the city estimates Care Bank usage will be even higher than last year, with 2,484 city employees taking the paid leave -- that's about one quarter of the entire city workforce. the more obvious question is why isn’t everyone using it?

I do not have access to MSNBC, but do for CNN and think of it as CNN on steroids. Anyway I have been watching the CNN coverage of the recent horrible school/chirch shooting. I have seen him/her described as far left, which makes no sense, certainly anti Trump and seriously unwell. Mother seems to have disappeared and no mention of Father. Pretty sure The Guardian ran a big news story but they have dropped the who thing very quickly I assume as soon as they found out that the shooter was Trans. So CNN are still all over it but you would need to pay attention to note the shooter was Trans, they are going down the Assault Weapon route, obviously not clear of a semi auto rifle was used, anyway does not matter. Less attention that this was waiting to happen, crazy person. Amusingly CNN did dead name and misgender the shooter initially which I thought was a major sin. Anyway this is quite interesting.

I-601A Waiver
Boiler replied to Nely11's topic in Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)
This lady is my maven on waivers, so if you wanted to appoint a Lawyer I would start here: https://www.scottimmigration.net/content/i601memo She has a very good description in the link above as to what is the history, what is required and how to present it. What you are trying to do is make the adjudicators job easy, well laid out and starting with the strong arguments first and working down to lessor ones, I do not know if they have a scoring system, but if I was the adjudicator and I like an easy life ,if I have seen enough quality points I would just scan through the rest as you have done your job. Now you have an intro and outro, introducing yourself, explaining the situation, asking nicely for their consideration etc but the above is the meat. You have an approved I 130 so you do not need to prove the relationship. Quick mention does no harm. I have certainly seen much weaker cases approved, as I mentioned a lot of it is presentation, Compelling arguments involve less work. I am from the UK so if I needed to file a waiver I certainly could put one together but my approach would be different to someone filing one from a Mexico perspective. I am a firm believer that no waiver is impossible, some will require more work. I also believe the process is stupid, just involves time and money, if you want the money just charge a larger fee. It is what it is. -
Very Trump like, coming back in the car listening to BBC, they were covering the media response, the talking heads going on about this and that, missing the point, he has all the headlines are they are defending the indefensible. I would be VERY surprised if Reform are ever in the position to implement.

I was listening to the BBC and they had this live and I just heard the end of it. Thrown the cat amongst the pigeons, the Establishment has been implying for years there is nothing that can be done. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/aug/26/nigel-farage-plan-deport-asylum-seekers-scorn-from-legal-experts Unveiling Reform UK’s “Operation Restoring Justice” at a combative press conference in Oxford, Farage said he would rip up the UK’s postwar human rights commitments, contained in a range of international conventions, to deport “absolutely anyone” – including women and children – arriving by small boat. Calling asylum seekers a threat to national security and to British women, he claimed his plans would stop Channel crossings “within days” and “save tens and possibly hundreds of billions of pounds”. Downing Street accused Farage of not being serious about his plans, but in a sign of how Reform has set the tone for public debate, the prime minister’s spokesperson refused to criticise his references to irregular migration as an “invasion” and a “scourge” or his prediction that Britain is “not far away from major civil disorder”.
