It's sort of Francoist: "I'll kill half the country to satisfy my own ego".

Yeah, the training for these includes "well here's what not to do wink".

I was about to say, legally this is an act of war. There's also some parliamentarian from the EU on there, so...

Trying to bypass posse comitatus via EO? An interesting gambit, since TECHNICALLY it's not the president deploying troops.

Oh, Russia has an idea of their envisioned future. They even have a checklist for it.

Unfortunately, a good chunk of the steps are "and then the country surrenders to the overwhelming might of the Russian military".

As I keep pointing out, they know. This group actively chose that name because they seek to emulate the leaderless, decentralized warfare of Al Qaeda.

Spineless wording by the Guardian. ICE AGENTS THEMSELVES have stated plainly that these kids are bait. It's not hidden, it's not subtext, it's just text, right there.

I was about to say, manufacturing nuclear arms is not cheap, but it's also not incredibly profitable. Unlike even something like a fighter aircraft, you can't really sell them off, and you can't make most of ANYTHING ELSE with the tooling and setup.

What he means is "a collector would've likely bought someone's grandpa's old war trophy".

More specifically, there's now a generation of people who didn't get their ass beat for using their left hand (this was surprisingly common up through the fucking 90s in some places) and now they want leisure goods that are left-hand-capable.

Nah, that's premeditation IMO. The dog skull provides provocation to draw both men into the open, giving you a clear line to fire.

This sure sounds like second degree murder to me.

Yeah, this really sounds like premeditation to me. Kill their dog and present the head and collar to lure them outside, then shoot both men dead. If it's not clear premeditation I don't know what is.

And now we get to see whether the Gay Panic defense works this time, I'm sure.

And powerful friends in high places. There's evidence that the State Department leaned on Romania to allow them out of prison to "visit their dying mother" in the US - which apparently includes nightclubs and at least one sexual assault allegation.

Nah, he's not that kind of dictator. He doesn't need to feel like he's in the military - he needs to feel like he's above them, on top of them as it were. The big military parade isn't for him to feel like a general - it's so he can copy his authoritarian friends without actually having the military cred himself to back it up. It's cargo cult dictatorship.

The issue is more: will it matter at all?

Genuinely serious. Jackson is Trump's favorite President for a reason: he exposed that under a determined enough man with enough popular support behind him, neither Congress nor the SCOTUS can actually do anything about a President acting in contravention of a court order. If the SCOTUS says "this bill is unconstitutional​", will it stop anyone from actually acting like it's in force?

You would be incorrect. Many wealthier high schools put a ton of money into their sports facilities and equipment. Several HS in my state operate 10-thousand-plus-seating stadiums that look a lot like collegiate or semiprofessional facilities.

3. The schools that aren't underfunded have millions of dollars in funds earmarked for sports usually.

That's where I am. Fuck the other billionaire assholes, but the kid knew shit was fucky and got pressured into getting into that sub.

Hey hey, it's not JUST about that!

It's also because it classifies child marriage as abuse. You can still get married to or marry off your child as young as 12 in some states.

Hitler, also. Remember that one of the only books anyone can recall Trump reading regularly is a collected volume of Hitler's speeches.
