The only real "benefit" this sets up is dismantling the Department of Defense. I know this is fascism times and rules for Trump aren't going to apply to a democrat but a man can dream.

This is the kind of brat I can get behind. 😏

I can't remember where I was reading this but being cheap to purchase is by design.

If politicians were expensive to buy, the public outcry would be significantly higher and would also incur more scrutiny. So there is this balance of bribing a politician vs their voters being upset that their politician taking too much money. Oddly there doesn't seem to be a floor of "our politician can be bought too cheaply."

The other side of this is that until Citizens United is overturned, there is no limit to how much a company can spend on special interest groups. This is where politicians fear the most. If they don't go along with whatever issue, then they have to raise more money to run for re-election, which puts more pressure on them to accept the bribe in the first place.

TL;DR: money in politics is killing our democracy

Its fraud. In many cases this would be insurance fraud. Why health insurance companies aren't going after him is beyond me.

I feel like the headline is misleading given our current climate.

Orleans sheriff currently has a policy to LIMIT how they interact with ICE. Louisiana passed a law making not cooperating with ICE a felony. Orleans sheriff says they will continue with current policy and limit their interactions with ICE.

We miss the sign because we're used to tapping at our normal store a certain way and your way is different. Our normal store doesn't need a sign because it's obvious.

I'm guessing your terminal uses the "tap the corner" method and not the screen method. If I see a sign, it's often the corner. I've never seen a sign that points to the screen.

In both situations, it's oppression. There is no other way to look at it. It's no wonder why evangelicals are, by and large, conservatives that support Trump.

The problem isn't the instance you are on. It's the instance this community is on. I've started to comment less and less on .world because of their "both sides are the same" stance.

The biggest problem, and I do say biggest, that DNC has is that they all have been trying to win votes not by being progressive but chasing after "the center" or left leaning Republicans. They can't do that if they support true progressive candidates.

They wanted someone with experience, who can hit the ground running, but didn't want to pay for it, either with cash or time.

• cheap
• quick
• experience

You can only pick two.

How does this work? I know that PR is an US territory but I imagine there are some quarantine procedures for animals.

Or has all of that been worked out already and you're just the courier?

Edit: nevermind. My mind skipped past the explanation and went straight for the cute picture.

Volunteers are on both sides of the journey.

Brazil could appeal to the World Trade Organization, propose international investigations and “demand explanations”,

Yeah if there's one thing this administration really respects is investigations.

Going way too far is the point.

This is about oppression, not about justice.

• the most felony convictions
• the most state and federal criminal investigations that are still open
• the most amount of diapers worn during a presidential term
• the first president in what 20 years to puss out and have his inauguration indoors
• the first president to have been a confirmed rapist

I'm going to speculate:

• the smallest penis
• the most obese
• the shortest

Tricking people to pay 100x its normal cost is pure unadulterated capitalism.

The kinds of psychos that work at companies that measure performance by number of commits and PRs, successful or not.

He'll never admit it. He'll blame immigrants or the gays or the trans or the woke or the Jews or the liberals or Biden or Obama or the Clintons.

Never himself.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

They are going to be sued by Christians or the government itself. We are no longer a country bound by the rule of law.

I exclusively use ZigBee. It automeshes.
