Nah it's some HP POS I bought last summer in case my desktop crashed (which it did, and I knew it was coming)
the new PC should be in and put together by middle o next month
I didn't have the money last year for a new PC so I figured i'd buy a POS to tide me over once the big one crashed

```Trump's compromise on DACA, offering the opportunity for 1.8 million young (or youngish) people to stay in the country in exchange for a wall and a more regulated immigration system, was surprisingly generous. Many Republicans blanched. But the Democrats were having none of it. That would have put an end to this issue, at least for the nonce, and they would have lost their football.
So instead we have a fiesta of hypocrisy with one supposed genius who once ran the CIA comparing what's going on on our border to Auschwitz (how anti-Semitic is that!) and the Mexican government, which treats immigrants somewhere south of lepers and has vicious controls on its Guatemalan border, jumping in to condemn the U.S. treatment of these children.```
now I'm gonna have to go check this movie of his out

Yea. Trump just caved a little. He signed an Executive order to stop the practive and hung it all on the Dems for not wanting to change the law
Meanwhile during thia qhole smokescreen ignored was the congressional hearing with the IG
I really hate
..let's call it 'executive discretion'
Enforce the laws that are on the books *f o r e v e r y o n e* or get the *legislative branch* to *c h a n g e t h e l a w s* and you can sign off on them
I do too
Do they still teach civics in the US?
Honestly they should teach civics in other countries too, but that's besides the point
People are like *supreme court gave prosecuters the right to pick and choose what they convict*
People act like the executive branch doubles as the legislative branch, so no wonder people get so heated about whom is in the White House
Which is true. But not the right to choose the punishment
or interm
Then again, people in other countries think they get to elect whom their Prime Minister is <:thronk:441701565607444482>
Its thanks to Obama legeslating from the White House
via executive order when congress said no
People think thats the norm now.
Which is Ironic cause the left thinks the Judicial has the power of making laws too
I think it goes much further back than Obama
Obama used EO the most of any president
Most of the Presidents around the 1910s-30s ran roughshod over congress with EO spam
lemme go see if I can..
*rummages*
yeah, FDR blows Obama out of the water
And Hoover
And Wilson
And Harding
And Coolidge
fuckin' hell
Well those are all dems lol
By a factor of *ten*
Coolidge and Hoover were Rs
So was Teddy
And he's up there too
Sorry I confused debt with eo. He ran up the most dept
