Did any of you read the article, or did you just read the headline and jump to push anti-trump propaganda?

I dislike stripping down ATCs, who are already overworked. But this ain't related to that. This was a PPL crash on an uncontrolled airstrip. I struggle to imagine how this is Trump's fault.

Next House Hearing: Hearing not scheduled Calendar: Bill currently not on a House calendar

But it hasn't even hit the house. This is the American legislative process. Any bill can be introduced and read. It takes a lot to be placed on the calendar, but even then doesn't guarantee any chance at passing. So no, this is literally no further than "the musings of a Canadian backbencher who spouts his stupid opinions".

Yeah, I was trying to find something like that to back up my point. Article, AFI, SecDec report, Pentagon statement, etc, but couldn't find anything. There's someone else in the thread who posted some pictures of these teams without nametapes, but that's not much stronger evidence than my word.

Hell or High Water. Fantastic utilization of visuals combined with smooth and enjoyable music. Love the whole trilogy, but this is my favorite of them.

The practice originates from prisoner movement during our global war on terror. It was due to concern over domestic operatives targeting armed forces members, which is not new. The linked story is an example of this being used to instill fear.

While I don't think this equates at all for simple deportation flights, this seems to be the underlying justification for the above tactic, be it to prevent retaliation or "making an example" to scare away further attempts at deportation.

Again, I didn't think this concern is nearly as founded as it was during global war on terrorism, but this is what I think is the justification.

That's the general idea, yes.

That explains it, thank you!

Wouldn't it not be so different, since I'm not part of the official organization? Just tangential?

I'm not very good with history. I know the broad strokes, but I've forgotten a lot of this kind of history. It hasn't been relevant in my line of work, so doesn't get easily remembered.

That link does explain the reference, though, thank you!

That is literally not an option for a very large majority of these service members. That'll be an Article 15 for sure, maybe a courtmartial.

Seriously, what is a brownshirt?

What is brownshirt?

Courtmarshall is probably not what you want in this. That's specific to the UCMJ, which would discipline them for NOT removing identifiers. You probably want them to go through civilian courts if that's your goal. Which probably means you're thankful for Trump's push for increased executions.

Hey gang, I'm very closely related to this field and wanted to share some insight into this!

This is VERY COMMON practice for these situations. The idea is not to cover up inhumane tactics, but protect our personnel. While I'm sure a majority of these individuals are simple illegal immigrants who have no ill intentions, there are criminal gangs being caught up in this. Not the entire gang is being picked up, just the illegal immigrants. So the policy of removing identification from the uniforms is to protect the military member and their family.

These commands come from the highest level, meaning each individual service member is not making the decision for themselves, but they are being commanded as a whole. Much as some might not like the connotations associated with this, it is a common practice and relevant due to the stated purpose of these missions.

I appreciate this rational take. As a Christian, I disagree with the "persecuted Christianity" narrative that the Roman Catholic Church aggressively pushes. Just like the above commenter is likely focusing on the vocal minority and ignoring everything else, I think the Catholic Church is focusing on the vocal minority and pushing this narrative for their own gain. And statements like the above commenter serve to reinforce that.

Don't equate your limited geographical experience to a far reaching universal trend. Could be a vocal minority, could be just your region, could be recency bias.

Later, when they followed up with management, they were told they should have waited for more guidance before accepting the offer, they told ABC News.

Sounds like shitty management to me. "An offer was provided to you by our superiors, and you made an independent decision regarding it without consulting us. You should have waited until we told you what to do."

Eggs are $4/dozen in my large city. Where the high COL is this?

According to my math, your dad had you at age 68? Something is off here, even for a shitpost.

Damn, bet nobody was expecting this reply!

I agree completely.

Interesting to see if it will be better than Bangle JS 2, the spiritual successor to Pebble. That's the one I've been using a few years and I still like it a lot.

Looks like the one of the many copies of this you posted was removed, and that's the one I commented on. My original comment:

I read through most of the executive orders, and while I admittedly skimmed a lot, I didn't notice these kinds of things. Can we get some examples?

I read through the excerpt image you provided. Maybe I'm just not exposed to LLM generated text frequently, but I don't see how that's generative text.
