Could Elmo be prosecuted for being an illegal immigrant.

This is the kind of DOJ weaponization I can get behind

'for life' is a pretty tall order for shoes, but with available refurbishing, I have had two (identical) pair of Mephisto cap-toe shoes for... About 22 years?

Both have been sent back, rebuilt and returned more than once.

Also, about as comfortable as running shoes. If you are stuck in a suits-required career field, do yourself a favor.

This is where we are. Hit it, Jack.

You have made a very good case here that resonates strongly with me

Where is rhe line between "us" and "them"?

Is it leftist vs liberal? Lib vs conservative?

No. It's all of "us" vs the them that are in the 1%

Because.......

Grandpa Joe worked with the mob rum-running, in order to amass the family fortune, and fhey in turn delivered several major cities in the election, but then JFK let RFK Bobby loose on an aggressive anti-racketeering rampage

Among other reasons ofc

Here’s an early 1970s portable terminal with fantastic looks, which might be rightfully called the “Polaroid SX-70” of terminals. Sadly, I wasn’t able to put a date to this. The artifact in question (sadly not mine) is the ADDS Envoy Traveling Terminal 600. The Envoy 620, which is also pretty stunning (see below) was introduced in June 1972. (Since this is looking a bit early, it may be 1970/71.)

The ADDS Envoy 600, a sales brochure (PDF) can be found at archive.org 19.

And here’s the ADDS Envoy 620:

For more info and images see https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/ADDS_Envoy_620 38 and http://jimsoldtoys.blogspot.com/2016/05/adds-envoy-portable-terminal.html 16 on the similar ADDS Envoy 580.

terminals-wiki.org 2 writes on the company history:

“Applied Digital Data Systems, or simply ADDS, was a manufacturer of high-quality video terminals. In March, 1979, ADDS had delivered 100,000 CRT terminals. In 1980, ADDS became a wholly owned subsidiary of NCR. In 1991, ADDS become part of AT&T when AT&T purchased NCR. In 1994, AT&T sold ADDS to SunRiver Data Systems. In 1996, the company was renamed to Boundless Technology.”

P.S.: A nice source found in one of these pages, providing a comprehensive overview of 1970s terminals, is the “Handbook of interactive computer terminals” by Duane E. Sharp, 1977, available as a PDF at https://archive.org/details/handbookofintera00duan 19.
