It's like everything else conservatives think they want: "We want illegal immigrants out of the country! But we're not willing to fund more immigration courts/judges. Let those court cases back up forever so they can stay here indefinitely! Oh wait..."

Conservative: "Tesla chose Texas for their new whatever, yeeeee fuckin' haw yo! That's a lot of money that will come into the state!"

Bystander: "But don't they have to settle that case with the EPA before they can proceed? I mean, they totally fucked that river and will have to pay for cleanup." (note: this is hypothetical river fucking)

Conservative (and Libertarians, oddly): "Yeah yeah whatever. That's why we have the courts!"

Bystander: "Except that court case won't be heard for years because the courts are backed up. Apparently there's not enough money in the Federal budget this year to pay for more judges, courthouses, and lawyers to handle cases like that"

Conservative: "Then they need to increase taxes! Oh wait..."

Congratulations conservatives! With this ruling, you just drastically increased the size of the Federal government.

Simple administrative rulings are gone so now we're going to end up with five zillion more expensive lawyers, a lot more judges, and a gazillion more cases before the courts.

It'll also increase the cost of doing business! Because now instead of just having to occasionally deal with an administrative body full of technical people who know what matters and what doesn't every company is now going to have to hire teams of lawyers to defend themselves in court and explain every little thing to a jury of total laymen.

The companies that violate the law regularly with the intent to "just pay the fines" will now have to defend themselves in court over and over and over again. You think immigration courts are overloaded? Now every federal court will be!

Perhaps they thought this would just result in businesses no longer having to comply with regulations? Hell no. Next year's Federal budget is going to balloon in order to pay for all these new inefficiencies.

They are insane.

Of course, this is conservatives modus operandi: Don't bother looking at real outcomes and real consequences of their actions! Instead, look towards tradition and religion and only that which is right in front of their face.

To be fair, it's as "new" as what the major record labels put out!

Nah just declare that churches worth over $1 billion that are influencing politics are no longer churches and therefore no longer tax exempt. Utah will change their tune immediately.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that graduates would be screened “to exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges.”

Communists? 🎶 One of these things is not like the others 🎶

Alternative: We need more robotics engineers to build robots that can do the job.

Total Tank Commander. It's the game where Santa rides into town in a Panzer.

The British suck in this situation for sure but the local racism this girl is experiencing is also bad. There should be an article about that too.

Everyone of every skin color belongs everywhere. There's no location on earth that you "belong" based on your skin color or general relative appearance. The concept absurd.

Who said anything about whole trees? If a car is there I guarantee there's some maple leaves stuck to it somewhere. Look in that space between the windshield and under the hood 😁
