Why does every person with lasting TDS think people who would vote for Trump over Biden depict it as some sort of Dear Leader syndrome. Heck, Trump has many many flaws, but the one thing he is not is a predictable and corrupt career politician.

Ahh, more democracy engineering by the establishment. I get it, believe what we say or else.

Yep, Trump U. was found guilty of fraud doing the same thing that every other university is doing. Hmm, different levels of justice, I guess. Anyway, the "good" universities just got the green light to raise tuition costs from our current petulant-in-chief occupant of the WH. Whatever, if Trump is successful on appeal, the judge and the prosecutor should be open for personal liability.

Is this surprising?

I suspect she did not mean to say “bipartisan,” while she did mean “toxic and un-American.” Regardless, politics, toxicity, and lack of patriotism are not matters the appeals court can or will consider https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/2/20/2224645/-Alina-Habba-claims-she-has-many-many-wins-but-nobody-reports-them-she-doesn-t-name-one Ahh, a Far Left website is dancing with glee over all of this. Whatever, I guess NY can prosecute anyone that challenges a tax assessment, or provides a valuation estimate with disclaimers even though there is no victim. The fact that this faking it judge (to use your words), basing the worth of a commercial piece of property based on some tax assessing bureaucrat opens up quite a few folks in NY to eventual prosecution. I know the governor said don't worry, as long as there is political agreement with those in power, you are safe. Personally, I think Trump should donate the tower to the state and allow the NYC migrants to take over. I am sure all the "progressives" around Central Park would agree with that.

Wow, there was only 75 in the ceremony yesterday afternoon. As far as i know, Detroit only does Judicial oaths.

Russian Collusion 2.0 seems to be taking shape. The ‘Russia Collusion’ Reboot Is Going To Be Terrible If Democrats had common decency, they would cook up a fresh conspiracy theory for us in 2024, because, really, the prospect of reliving the same hysterics over Russia for another year—or four—is just depressing. Yet Russia collusion fanfic is on the uptick as the 2024 presidential election approaches. The reboot features many of the same characters—Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and so on—who are already scaremongering about Putin’s influence on the GOP. https://thefederalist.com/2024/02/22/the-russia-collusion-reboot-is-going-to-be-terrible/

What is interesting is that all this is because of Trump. People don't seem to understand how he negotiates. Germany's Scholz commits to spending 2% on defense 'in the 2020s, in the 2030s and beyond' https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/germanys-scholz-commits-to-spending-2-on-defense-in-the-2020s-in-the-2030s-and-beyond/ar-BB1iq9Ln

Completely agree. There is a massive push to protect Old Corrupt Joe and the DC establishment, so these actions probably seem appropriate in their eyes. I am sure none of the sources the CBS News SLT see in these files will make their way to the WH/DC Establishment (sarcasm intended).

Probably could also go in the Ukraine thread, but seemed a little more appropriate here. I also noticed the discrepancy in how Old Corrupt Joe is treating the two conflicts, but of course he is a career politician. While Biden Pushes Ukraine To Fight, He Demands Israel Surrender But the ugly truth is that Biden's reelection prospects are threatened by the emerging progressive Left and pro-Hamas faction of the Democratic Party. And there is no one, no issue, the president won't sell out for votes. This is why the administration sends emissaries to pacify the people who cheered the Oct. 7 attack. This is why the White House leaks snippets of Biden insulting Israel's (elected) leader in a way he would never think to attack Volodymyr Zelensky or Mahmoud Abbas or even the Iranian mullahs. While backing Ukraine allows Democrats to virtue signal about their love of "democracy," turning on Israel allows them to appease the growing anti-Western sentiment of their base. It's only going to get worse in the coming years. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/02/23/while_biden_pushes_ukraine_to_fight_he_demands_israel_surrender_150544.html

I suspect it is the Dems and the Left that believe the communist/Marxist phrase referenced is written in the US Constitution considering all the great "progress" they are proposing. Now that is funny as I am always told how smart the Dems/Left are. Btw, love the hair!

Blue "progressive" led cities seem delusional, but whatever, a DC jury also ruled in favor of the charlatan Mann. Chicago sues five giant oil companies, accusing them of climate change destruction, fraud Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration filed a lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court Tuesday that names BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil and Shell, accusing the companies of discrediting science and misleading the public as the climate crisis continued to wreak havoc on the planet. The city is also suing the trade group American Petroleum Institute, which it accuses of conspiring with the companies to deceive consumers through disinformation campaigns even as the industry acknowledged internally that climate change was real. https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2024/02/20/bp-chevron-conocophillips-exxonmobil-chicago-lawsuit-climate-change-damage

Not that I have heard of as long as the “consummation” occurs prior to filing the I130 which you are already aware of, and you have good evidence to prove that. I would expect more scrutiny with respect to your previous situation, but it appears you have that well in hand and have remedied it to the best of your ability. Good Luck!

Good luck trying to figure out how USCIS processes cases. I know it is frustrating to see other contemporary cases completed while your’s is still in process, but there are many factors involved. Each case is individual, and some may require more attention than others, also it is not clear within USCIS if they re-assign cases if a clerk/IO is on vacation, or out. It does seem that USCIS tries to somewhat balance the workload, but like in any relatively large government bureaucracy, who really knows what parameters are used. Good Luck!

One thing I learned yesterday at our cousin’s oath ceremony is that the judge is not scheduled (at least in Detroit) for an hour after the time stated on the interview NOA. My cousin’s notice stated 2pm, but the judge showed up at 3:15pm and apologized for being 15 minutes late. Apparently the notice time is when future citizens need to be in line to check in.

This applies to US immigration proceedings. That being said, he may want to take any relevant information regarding his Swedish immigration proceedings with him to the eventual interview. Good Luck!

It is unfortunate you didn’t choose Option 2. Our cousins are taking their oath today about 3-4 weeks after their interview with a name change. Regardless, congrats on you wife’s naturalization!

If you as the USC have a reason to relocate back to the U.S. on relatively short notice, you can request the consulate in the country you are currently in to process the I130. This is referred to as Direct Consular Filing (DCF) under exceptional circumstances. If the I130 is submitted to USCIS, DCF will no longer be an option, but you can request expedited processing at the various stage of that process. I would do research on DCF as there are many that have taken this route. The VJ search engine can be helpful with that research. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-b-chapter-3

Figured that would be a bit of a dog whistle.

Maybe we should be holding these prosecutors and judges personally responsible for their actions. It is time to end any shields from lawsuits for those in these positions.

Even if the funding does go through I really doubt there will be any changes. For some reason the political elite in DC think this is a replay of Charlie Wilson's War, but it is way different, and at some point given all the manpower losses in Ukraine, Zelenskyy will be requesting troops. Not sure where they are going to come from, but one thing is for certain, ever since the DC establishment regained control of the WH through Old Corrupt Joe, the world has deteriorated quite drastically.

A clear picture of the mindset of the DC elite regardless of Party. They are definitely circling the wagons in DC.

Why don't they mention Mr. Hogg's failed business attempts? Regardless, you are right, Mr. Hogg is quite a petulant activist.

Gotta love government rules made by people that have no clue. The farmers’ revolt comes to Wales It is clear that the ministers in Cardiff Bay are unaware of the realities of farming. Welsh rural-affairs minister Lesley Griffiths squirmed last week under questioning from the Farmers Guardian newspaper. It had not seemed to occur to her that farmers will be forced to make their businesses less productive in order to receive the government payout. The scheme is expected to cost farms around 5,000 jobs and an 11 per cent loss of livestock. If the Sustainable Farming Scheme wasn’t bad enough, Welsh farmers are also battling against Cardiff’s nonsensical bovine tuberculosis (bTB) policy. The control of bTB is, rightly, an animal-health priority. But as the infection crosses between species, it is proving impossible to limit its spread without dealing with the main source of the illness – namely, the wild badger population. In England and Ireland, it is recognised that limited badger culls, as well as immunisation, can reduce the spread of the disease. In Wales, however, the government has opted to cull livestock instead of culling the cuter-looking badgers. Perhaps this strategy could prove successful, in that there won’t be any bovine TB if there are no more cows left to catch it. https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/02/20/the-farmers-revolt-comes-to-wales/

Listened to this, he has some great points starting around 6:30 minutes in.
