No, there’s a scaffold in front of the WH to support the asinine UFC fights tonight (and the stands for those). It’s a temporary structure, theoretically (though of course, Dear Leader has floated the idea “as a joke” of just keeping it in place permanently “for other events”.)
Not if they’re hit with a missile or another satellite. Debris could pretty easily be rocketed up into a higher orbit from a military strike.
remove and destroy
Nah, we only wanted to remove it. Trump and Hegseth have both been public that we should start building another huge wave of nuclear weapons, and you need uranium to do it. Far easier to try and mug someone else for theirs (and their oil and whatever else you think you can get) than it is to actually buy it and refine it yourself.
For those not doing the math - assuming a trillion dollars just gets dumped into a bucket labeled “world hunger” (because we as the world decide to start taxing millionaires, billionares, etc heavily), and assuming we’d need $93 million to eradicate it annually, we could eradicate world hunger for the next 10,752 years.
If an insurance company refused to carry a cop, they’d be sued out of existence by every police union and booster org in the nation.
As someone who’s anti death penalty for any case, I’d prefer we waste money on incarcerating people if we must, rather than risk killing the wrong person. People have made entire careers out of justifying why an (usually) innocent person has to die, using a lot of junk science (bite mark, hair, thread analysis, a lot of CSI stuff is absolute bullshit or at least no better than 50/50).
Especially with the recent East Wing argument, the lesson is “if you do it fast enough and ignore other people getting angry about it, you can do whatever you want.”
“I found an island paradise that’s also full of old Soviet bunkers and we’re pretty sure that’s gonna be nice to have when the next American civil/world war kicks off, we just need to make it palatable for our billionaire friends who can’t stand looking at nature”.
Horrible fact: the number they call for almost exactly matches the number of nonwhite people in the US, including indigenous peoples.
This is literally calling for an ethnostate, and should be treated that way.
It’s apparently largely going to be military guys (who have to meet certain height/weight/fitness criteria). Because everything has to be a show of force.
literal portal to hell
Where’s my Batman/Buffy crossover? I just want to see Alfred and Giles talking.
Gerry Conway (RIP) literally took back over the book specifically to have Punisher threaten a cop for using his symbol. “You don’t do what I do. Nobody does. […] If I find out you are trying to do what I do, I’ll come for you next.”
A lot of people don’t realize that South Korea was a dictatorship until the 80s.
There’s been inside rumors that the Pentagon, in traditional fashion, has been listing KIAs as MIA to reduce reported deaths.
We have a functioning court system, it just has the entire federal government’s collective fist up its ass.
Prosecutors and state governments love executing people because they keep claiming it “deters crime”. It also looks fantastic on your resume to a certain stripe of voters when you can yell “I helped get rid of XX amount of DANGEROUS CRIMINALS”.
You also want to kill anyone who you’ve already decided to kill, because otherwise they tend to have a habit of being exonerated. It’s awful embarrassing to have to say “yes we framed a dozen murders on this guy who didn’t do anything but steal a bike” or whatever.
For doctorates, sometimes. For Master’s students, the answer is usually no.
I’m more interested in how many of these people are winding up working for ICE.
Designs should’ve never progressed past the F-104. Change my mind.
I was about to say, you nod along with Ted until he starts into the racist bits.
