Also apparently anyone with a mental illness, anyone of sufficiently low intelligence, and a lot of other things of questionable appropriateness.

I can't seem to find anything explaining why epileptics were specifically targeted, though. Looks like it was codified in the 1903 act, but the internet appears to only want to talk about anarchists. I wanna' know what was bad enough about it to blanket ban folks afflicted from immigrating :-\

Oh look at this fancy PBR drinker reading today's newspaper.  Mister hoity toity PBR too good to rummage in the trash for yesterday's newspaper.
Hey man, I'll have you know that paper was janked from the hands of the poorest of hobos, who was given it by a passing nun to ward off the elements. Nothing so high class as garbage diving.

Few more months until harvest for most varieties, iirc. More a fall thing.

Man, that reminds me of one time back when I played Infantry that something like three+ pages worth of chat log was almost nothing but CRY. Good ol' nostalgia. Can't remember the name of the zone, though. Pretty sure it wasn't combined arms, and I think it was either one of the CTF maps or that big mcguffin gathering one that was up a lot that I've lost the name of. One with the hoverboard physics working right and the hella' grind.

Odd link to use for it, then. And late, ha, very, very late :P

Not really surprised though, personally. About in line with talk radio, and Fox commentary is basically that so far as restraint goes, some days.

Ah, whatever happened to class?
Donald Trump happened, that's what.
... six years ago? Goddamnit, I was joking about the sodding chronosphere.

Though I guess you could mean the nature of the reporting rather than the statement itself from around a half decade ago.

Now I'm kinda' curious how beckel got pegged as a clinton strategist, giving a probably inappropriately large benefit of doubt that the statement wasn't just boldfaced lying.

He's apparently at CNN now, though, for what it's worth.

Mart, basically. Only one that was talking of much note regarding the international law bit.

For what it's worth re: sentencing, we actually do have a good several hundred folks in the U.S. that were sentenced to life when they were a minor, apparently. Not terribly interested in looking up details, because I don't exactly need them to state that mandatory sentencing is several different kinds of fucked up, but it's happened recently enough the SCOTUS had a ruling giving the ones that didn't have a chance of parole a shot at it back in January. Of this year.

Pretty sure the problem is the duration more than the sentence itself, rol.

Think usually it's just a random RN or somethin' that tells folks to go take a bath, though. Or a psychiatrist. Hygienist would be for stuff really out there, and you'd think there's not too many conditions on that front that would require specialised training...

... do they actually have dedicated hygienists these days? I've heard of a lot of different specialists that folks get sent to, but that's one I've never seen in-person mention of. Would think the market for 'em wouldn't be that large, all things considered.

You don't. You just get the rest of the country to vote.

E: To clarify a bit, you may want to get them to reconsider for other reasons. So far as the presidency goes, though, you just have to get all the people that don't particularly like the guy to not vote for him. That's around a plurality in the party he's running for, never mind everyone else.
