if we do this right…

Posted on by

Overheard in a hallway outside the Oval Office.

Trump: We must deport violent criminals.
ICE: Okay.
Stephen Miller: I want 3000 undocumented immigrants detained.
ICE: Okay.
Miller: That’s 3000 detained each day.
ICE: Oka…what? Each day?
Miller: Each day.
ICE: How are we supposed to identify, locate, and detain 3000 violent undocumented criminal immigrants each day?
Miller: Use the IRS.
ICE: Okay.
Miller: Find out who pays them, arrest them where they work.
ICE: Okay.
Miller: Take them when they’re picking crops.
ICE: Okay.
Miller: But at the end of the day, let them get the crops in first.
ICE: Okay.
Miller: Also, order them to appear at immigration offices to support their claims of asylum, arrest them at the courthouse.
ICE: Okay.
Miller: Might as well detain their families too. They’re probably illegal too.
ICE: Okay.
Miller: Any questions?
ICE: Nope. Arrest the ones who work, the ones who pay taxes, the ones who show up for their hearings. We can do that.
Miller: Good.
ICE: But what about those violent criminals?
Miller: If we do this right, the ones who are left will become violent. Then you can just shoot them.
ICE: Okay.
Some Random Democrat: We must focus on kitchen table issues.

  1. The first flower successfully grown in space was an aster native to Mexico. If I remember correctly, it was chosen for its hardiness, but current articles call it “difficult to grow”. What isn’t difficult to grow in space with new and flawed techniques?

    It wasn’t doing well because the regimen NASA had set up for it wasn’t working. Scott Kelly successfully petitioned to be allowed to water it as it appeared to need it. It was decided that this wouldn’t ruin the experiment.

    And it bloomed.

    It was reported almost nine years ago. The article is from June 20, 1916. It was quite exciting at the time.

    My hubby put a picture of it on a t-shirt for me.

    Here’s the article that pic is from.

    Why this? Why now?

    I need a break. Besides, it’s a successful Mexican aster.
