In the US, if you destroy a bald eagle egg, you can face:
- Up to $100,000 fine
- up to 1 year in prison
Because an unborn eagle....is still an eagle
This post isnt about eagles.
Thanks, @HunterBiden, for this testament to chutzpah. And when it comes to lecturing the American people on what is proper and dignified, I can think of no one better than you, my friend, our self-appointed resident Letitia Baldrige avatar and authority on the leggiadrous. You, sir, a man who always maintained the highest level of convenance and honor. And when it came to maintaining the dignity and decorum of the White House, no one did it better than your Pop, Commander Autopen. A man who frightened any American with a working synapse when he was caught in one of his rare escapee moments when not narcotized and shackled to a radiator in a remote root cellar in Wilmington, shuffling about, muttering "Who ordered the veal cutlet?" And who could or will be able to forget the nightmare of June 2023 when he turned the People's House into a makeshift reenactment of an LES 80s leather bar and backdrop for "Cruising II: Turn Your Head and Cough"? The spectacle still inspires nightmares. Only an administration completely out of touch and out of its mind would countenance such vile degeneracy. And you, good sir, have the elephantine huevos to lecture @joerogan about decorum?! Look, I admired your candor when you appeared with @RealCandaceO and wish you complete and total peace and uninterrupted recovery. But the next time you dare lecture @POTUS on the finer points of seemliness, might I suggest instead that you return to your finger painting and not immediately squander the good will you've cobbled together and your new trajectory toward reclaiming self-respect.

THERE I FEEL BETTER NOW!
It's illegal to bring a plant into our country because it might upset the ecosystem but bringing in millions of people from the 3rd world is supposed to make it better.. right
That's correct. The government (via taxpayer-funded Treasury) collected those tariffs from importers and is now refunding them because the Supreme Court ruled the tariffs unlawful. Importers often passed the costs to consumers through higher prices, but refunds go only to the companies that paid CBP—not consumers directly. Any price relief for shoppers depends on whether businesses choose to pass savings along.
