Give them 30 days in Cook County jail on the spot. Not a good place to be, especially if you're "law enforcement".

Why is this evil ass backwards regime so interested in propping up the failed far right wing dictator of Argentina? www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

I'm wondering what is going to happen to all the soybeans that bailed out farmers grew and couldn't sell because this idiot regime gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout for their failed rightwing president then Argentina turned around and is selling China their soybeans, tariff-free.

I have zero compassion for these farmers. They voted for this crap and the orange POS will burn through more taxpayer dollars to bail them out and they will keep voting republican. Fuck them.

There are freeze warnings away from the lake. I had a ton of ladybugs on my pepper plants yesterday because they are the greenest plants around. Fortunately Lake Michigan kept us from going below freezing.
