Another question: Are there any combat boots available with Velcro straps? Tying laces is such a hassle.

That is all you got? Stupid.

On a different thread they tried to justify the use of the term "concentration camp" by deciding that it accurately described a location where people with certain characteristics were "concentrated".  Therefore, an immigration detention center magically becomes a "concentration camp for illegal immigrants".  Ta-da.  Using that same flawed logic, we can come up with some other examples of "concentration camps".  For example, prisons apparently are "concentration camps for people who break the law".  Taking this false equivalency even further, I guess Washington is a "concentration camp for politicians", Silicon Valley is a "concentration camp for people involved in IT", New York City is a "concentration camp for people involved in the financial sector", etc.  Just like when they casually throw around words like "Nazi", "Hitler" and "bigot" to attempt to demonize Republicans, all they do is water down the terms to the point of being meaningless and disrespect the actual victims who were harmed by the real Nazis and Hitler and bigots.

On another thread they are discussing whether the term "Alligator Auschwitz" is disrespectful to Jews.  The Jewish DU'ers that chimed in all find it to be absolutely repulsive.  But DU will continue to use that term because they think it scores political points, regardless of how offensive it is to normal people.  And they still haven't figured out why more and more voters are distancing themselves from the Democratic Party.

Spot on post!

No one at UPenn's law school is aware of "ex post facto laws"?

UPenn's decision is puzzling. Is this agreement to have a policy that is school-specific, regardless of future changes to NCAA policy or that "Save Women's Sports" executive order? The article indicates that UPenn would comply with T9 "as interpreted by the Department of Education".

That's not what ex post facto means, DUmmie.

If an activity is deemed unlawful, they can't punish you for actions taken before the determination. But that does not entitle you to keep doing the thing after it was found to be unlawful.

5. Blackmail becomes him.

You mean extortion. All deterrence is extortion.

call it Camp ICE

Make sure the warden includes in his intake speech that just like in real Siberian gulags, the slightest snow or ice on I-70 will shut down contact with the outside world for weeks, and then one of the guards can "let slip" that due to Trump budget cutbacks, they're only allowed to keep three days worth of supplies on site. The first frost on the ground in the exercise yard after that, and the inmates will start looking at their cell mates like they were all part of the Donner party.
