To FEMA, who said, "Gosh, I guess maybe we don't need to declare all that area as a flood plain."

It's not that hidden.

Such is why Epstein was smited by the hand of God when he turned his back on God’s light. No treason shall be tolerated in the eyes of the LORD.

And the LORD will also make sure the guards are asleep and the recordings are erased at just the right time so that none may witness the the LORD'S justice and have proof, because one must have faith and proof denies faith.

Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll

“This was a rape claim, this was a rape case all along, and the jury rejected that — made other findings,” his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, said outside the courthouse.

A judge has now clarified that this is basically a legal distinction without a real-world difference. He says that what the jury found Trump did was in fact rape, as commonly understood.

...

“The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.

He added: “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.”

So, yeah, let's get those lawsuits filed so we can start the discovery process. That should be fun.

Im not sure they should be allowed to call anything autopilot if it can’t stop at a red light or stop sign.

...Or a school buy with flashing lights and stop arm out, and a child shaped/sized target running out in front of it, during various tests.

Musk has intentionally been creating false expectations about the capabilities of these cars for years with the intent of increasing sales. Most people who buy them believe what he says and what they see, or think they see, in the ads. These people almost never read the manuals. If I were on the jury, I would surely have an open mind about finding Tesla liable depending on what else is revealed at trial.

Not just the state and weather are to blame for this tragedy. The camp needs to bear just as much responsibility as well.

Absolutely. As I pointed out in another post in this thread, FEMA declared that part of the camp was on a flood plain in 2011. The camp appealed and got them to change the designation which would have required flood insurance and forced them to build to stricter standards as they built more structures on the flood plain.

Yep. I imagine he waited an hour hoping it wasn't a real disaster then freaked out realizing how ducked he would be of anyone died. I feel like he died trying to save his own ass more than anything else.

Edit: Ducked...? Meh, I'll leave it.

Free food for brown children from this administration? I think not.

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!
