dc2london ugh. So typical. They can’t let her shine. I did read whoever announced her name at the naval academy speech mispronounced it. Such disrespect.

It was just about them coming over and acting like dumb clueless tourists and not wanting to wear masks. I'll go find it Eta Unleashed but (Mostly) Masked, British Tourists Return to Portugal nyti.ms/3fT5idD

I really really want to be able to travel but I'm not about to begrudge a country that relies on tourist dollars getting tourist dollars. Nobody sharpen their pitchforks. Everything is weird this weekend.

Also, not a ton will be coming until hteir prices balance out. I have a friend who used to rent my mom's apartment, she is British and is in town looking for property to purchase. She bought a one way ticket for 75 euros and said she isn't sure when she will return becuase all the return flights were over 500 euro right now. Airlines are taking advantage but prices won't change here much. It really isn't the POrtuguese way.

Oh Wow. This is great news! Thank you, next: Nice. I'm liking the suggestions for Schumer to change the rule to 2/3 of those present. Then i think he should schedule a whole bunch of votes for Thursday nights.

A 46-page draft blueprint obtained by The New York Times maps out the Biden administration’s plans to significantly expand the legal immigration system, including methodically reversing the efforts to dismantle it by former President Donald J. Trump, who reduced the flow of foreign workers, families and refugees, erecting procedural barriers tougher to cross than his “big, beautiful wall.”... ... A central element of the blueprint is addressing backlogs in the immigration system. The administration is planning to fast-track immigration applications by expanding virtual interviews and electronic filing, as well as limiting the requests for evidence from applicants. Mr. Biden has tapped Cass R. Sunstein, a former Obama administration official and legal scholar at Harvard Law School, to remake the immigration system so it is “more effective and less burdensome” than it has been in decades by “reducing paperwork and other administrative requirements.” Mr. Biden wants to restore opportunities for foreign employees through the existing H-1B visa program, which is intended for workers with special skills. The administration also intends to create new pathways for foreign entrepreneurs who wish to “start-up businesses and create jobs for U.S. workers,” according to the document. Officials are working on a regulation that could allow migrants to win asylum in the United States if they are victims of domestic violence or their relatives were persecuted. During the Trump era, Attorney General William P. Barr moved to end asylum protection for those who claimed they deserved it for those reasons. Mr. Biden is also aiming to expand immigration opportunities for L.G.B.T.Q. refugees from countries where they are persecuted or where same-sex marriages are not recognized. In addition, he wants to revamp a program that provides a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who help law enforcement by cooperating with police or testifying in court.

I’m ready for Schumer to play dirty with these people. Overall they’re not the brightest, they’re just unafraid to cross the line. We can beat them at their own game, we just need to grow a pair and put our idealism on the back burner.

I agree the Democrats need to get shit done.
I do wonder if Schumer is remembering Harry Reid, though. Reid changed the rules to get federal bench seats filled and then Mitch decided that rule also applied to SCOTUS (among other fuckery with the Court). Right or wrong, I can see being cautious now in the expectation of the GOP at some point regaining control.
ETA: I don't like that they aren't getting stuff done or aren't able to with the current rules, for the record. The filibuster either needs to go completely or at the very least, go back to the way it used to be where you had to physically hold the floor.

And you get some rest. hopefully she will pass the piece of baby kitten bottle nipple that she bit off and swallowed. otherwise it's off to the vet tomorrow to see what to do next. it scared her so she's struggling to eat/drink enough. so maybe vet anyways.

I bottle fed my kitten at a teenager, we found her abandoned under a trailer. I learned they need rectal stimulation as young kittens in order to have a BM. The mom usually takes care of it as she’s grooming them. It was exactly what hat she needed to relieve her fat belly.
