It is a weird way. Particularly when there are much better ways to assign blame to this particular individual whom the guardian refers to as the "camp leader" and the person who ran the camp, when he was, in fact, the owner.

Federal regulators repeatedly granted appeals to remove Camp Mystic's buildings from their 100-year flood map, loosening oversight as the camp operated and expanded in a dangerous flood plain in the years before rushing waters swept away children and counselors, a review by The Associated Press found.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency included the prestigious girls' summer camp in a "Special Flood Hazard Area" in its National Flood Insurance map for Kerr County in 2011, which means it was required to have flood insurance and faced tighter regulation on any future construction projects.

That designation means an area is likely to be inundated during a 100-year flood — one severe enough that it only has a 1% chance of happening in any given year.

He repeatedly got exemptions from regulation that might require him to update or move old buildings and meet more stringent construction requirements over the last decade and a half even as the expanded the camp in the flood plain putting even more kids and counselors at risk.

Not when Congress and SCOTUS are also full of dipshits. It's like a perfect shit storm that may drown all of us.

Analysis of the signal revealed that the colliding black holes were 103 and 137 times the mass of the sun

...

The latest merger produced a black hole up to 265 times more massive than the sun.

How does the work? 103 solar masses plus 137 solar masses should be 240 less any mass lost due to radiation during the event.

But maybe angry enough to not vote at all... so, win? Maybe...?

Generally, they don't need to pay for that military equipment other than transportation costs.

That is great and could help slow these deportations, but the judges might might start refusing to hold the trials online.

Trump has instructed immigration judges, who all work for the executive branch, to quickly dismiss all immigration cases when requested. If he can do that, he can probably order them to only have in person cases.

Trump can’t strip anybody of their citizenship

While true, that doesn't matter anymore since being a citizen isnt a defense against this administration's most egregious offenses. American citizens have disappeared into ICE custody already.

Since there is no due process being allowed for ICE detainees, they have no ability to challenge they're detention and prove their citizenship. Removing someone's citizenship is irrelevant if you they can be disappeared by ICE anyway.

Article can be summarized thusly: They're morons.

No. That county was refusing to install a warning system even when Biden's American Rescue Act would have paid for it.

To be clear, they kept all the money, they just refused to build the alert system with it.

One of the fired employees had allowed Hardin on to an outside kitchen dock unsupervised, and the other employee worked in a tower and had opened the gate Hardin walked through without confirming his identity, the board chairperson, Benny Magness, said.

Yeah, that sounds pretty incompetent.

Authorities said he escaped by donning an outfit designed to look like a law enforcement uniform. Magness said the outfit was crafted from an inmate uniform and a kitchen apron dyed black using a marker – while a soup can lid and a Bible cover were fashioned to look like a badge.

...seriously?

“I'm mad because, you know, like I told another lady, how many lives do we have to lose in order for them to fix the system? It's broken,” said Leslie Kocurek.

Stop breaking the law voting republican, asshole!

Reply that it's God punishing the nation for electing a pedophile president.

Noem probably already has a gravel pit picked out

Does that count the immigrants that DeSantis trafficked up north to sanctuary cities?

Nope. There's no chance of change while such States are so heavily gerrymandered. Plus, the bulk of the voters in these states will vote red 'til they're dead because voting for a dem would somehow be worse.

The saying I've always heard is, a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.

Attack MechaHitler? I think not.

It starts with heavy use of Fox News and escalates to uncontrolled ingestion of right wing talk radio, NewsMax, and OAN.

Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, praising the former Real World cast member...

Ah, the most important characteristic for any possible Trump appointee, they've been on television.

I know, right? How am I going to get that image out of my head? It's almost enough to make me support censorship.
