Morning everyone – it’s that time again – we need to bring some of the aging drums of creepy up from the back and dispose of them.
Let’s get the air scrubbers cranked up, because our first blast from the recent past is –
ICE, ICE, baby!
Homeland Security suspends immigration agreements with Ariz. police
The Washington Times ^ | June 25,2012 | By Stephen DinanPosted on Monday, June 25, 2012 1:31:56 PM byHojczyk
The Obama administration said Monday it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police.
Administration officials, speaking on condition they not be named, told reporters they expect to see an increase in the number of calls they get from Arizona police — but that won’t change President Obama’s decision to limit whom the government actually tries to detain and deport.
“We will not be issuing detainers on individuals unless they clearly meet our defined priorities,” one official said in a telephone briefing.
The official said that despite the increased number of calls, which presumably means more illegal immigrants being reported, the Homeland Security Department is unlikely to detain a significantly higher number of people and won’t be boosting personnel to handle the new calls.

To:HojczykTime for the state to go rogue.
Reminds me of an old joke that I’ll rework for this situation:
A Californian, an Arizonan, and a Mexican national are walking along the beach at Padre island, and discover a half-buried oil lamp. One quick rub later, a Djinn appears and grants them each one wish.
The Mexican national says: “I wish to be with my family, and for my villiage to have sufficient food and money for no one to ever have to go away to work again.
*BOOM* – he disappears. “Wish granted” says the Djinn.
The Arizonan is next. He says: “I’m tired of all these illegals trying to come into my state – I want a wall around it to stop all the wetbacks out and keep Real Americans like me in.
*BOOM* – he disappears. “Wish granted” says the Djinn.
The Californian gets a thoughtful look on his face and says to the Djinn: “Tell me about that wall, please.”
The Djinn says: “It is a hundred feet high and thirty feet thick, and is completely impregnable!”
The Californian smiles, and says: “OK. Fill it with water.”
…immigrant-rights groups saying they led to abuses…
So sue…where are the records of abuse?
A Tea Party invasion of the convention? Delicious. Glorious. Hilarious. Violence-tastic.
Won’t happen, of course, because the teabaggers are cowards.
re: AZ “withholding taxes from the feds”… they DO know that Federal taxes are levied and collected directly by the Federal government, as provided for under the US Constitution, right? That it’s not “AZ collects Taxes, Feds tell AZ how much they want, AZ keeps the rest? Or are these morans so bass-ackwards that they can’t tell federalism from feudalism?
Never mind, just answered my own question
It’ll be 101 degrees outside the Republican circle-jerk in Tampa.
The Medicare-funded HoverRounds will melt…
Scott:
I wonder if you could start a rumor that Ron Paul, in return for the Democrats’ help in passing his Audit The Fed bill, promised to take his delegates into the convention and try to ratfuck the nomination to get Obama re-elected.
That could produce some fireworks…
I heard elsewhere that none of the right-wing sights talked about Romney’s cluster-fuck in England, but I was hoping there would be something in the comments about it. Damn.
Oh, and thanks Tommy!
Palin will find some way to make a splash either from in the convention or outside. Would love the idea of Romndy/Palin ticket with both making gaffes all over the place.
Oh, that’s nothing – Mittens just praised Israel for their universal health care system.
I’m gonna have to get bigger blowers.

MapleStreet:
If Romney is idiotic enough to make Sarah Palin his VP pick, I think that pretty much cracks open the first three (four?) seals of the Apocalypse.
And IIRC Palin is scheduling her own party at the same time as the GOP convention. I expect it to be like that John Cusack-holding-the-boombox scene inSay Anything but with boiled bunnies instead…
@ Tommy T. Rmoney also more or less said that Israel is doing better than the Occupied Territories, because you people are good with money. Romneyshambles as far as the eye can see!
I think the admin of this site is really working hard for his web site,
because here every stuff is quality based stuff.
