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.

So to expand on these, because a lot of people seem to think "it's because they cared", that's only partially it.

Back before faster travel methods, if you wanted a small bird for any reason and it had to travel any significant distance, you would assume at least a 75% fatality rate from stress, with that increasing to roughly 90% over greater distances.

So canaries and finches were expensive, and unless your mine was close to a port city, you'd be traveling 3-4 days at least. Need 4 canaries? Better buy 40.

They don't. They've said they really don't. What it DOES do is increase the instability of the market, and a lot of the people behind Trump stand to profit if they can pick up the pieces after a financial collapse, just like what happened in 08, just like what happened in 2020.

Genocide. The Clinton admin invented the term "ethnic cleansing" to justify the US government disobeying their own laws requiring intervention against genocide (at that point, in Rwanda).

Let's call it what it is.

As an autistic person myself, there's FAR too many normal people who think this way.

The argument I heard initially was that irregular migrants are not, somehow, subject to the jurisdiction of the US.

No no, don't try to boil it down to "they want us fighting each other". Those wealthy people, and a good chunk of those poorer people, actually truly believe in the things they are saying. A lot of them TRULY, DEEPLY BELIEVE that they have to shout this and spread the word because the stakes are nothing less than literal life and death.

He's mad that Putin and el-Sisi both got cool military parades. I remember him wanting to do this in his first term.

Nope, this fits right in. We're all useless and don't contribute a thing, thus we simply shouldn't be taking up resources. At all. From anyone.

I'm sure you can fill the blanks in, but I'll put it this way: the only resources they want "autistic" people (because you can really stretch that definition to include pretty much anyone if you stretch the definition of things like social norms) to receive is a single 5.56mm round.

He has spasmodic dysphonia, a muscular condition that MAY have been exacerbated by his drug use. His voice is a result of an experimental surgery he elected to undergo to alleviate it to a degree - IIRC he is claimed to have spent most of 2017-2020 almost completely uncommunicative with the world outside his house, barely ever leaving AT ALL because his dysphonia pre-surgery was so bad that it was a great effort to speak at all.

Does this not directly, nakedly violate the sovereignty clause?

Nah, not alcohol - they'll start with drugs, because that gives them a convenient casus belli to say "Mexico isn't doing enough to suppress the cartels, so the carpet bombing began 20 minutes ago".

I got laid off literally less than 20 minutes after I finished everything that needed to be done for that quarter. They told me they were waiting for me to finish, and that they had lied to my face about finding me a new position when they closed up my office.

More specifically, this lets them eavesdrop on phone calls with other world leaders in flight, conversations he might have onboard, and email/cell communication onboard. All of which the Qatari government will be selling to the rest of OPEC, I'm sure.

Watch for more "gifts" like this from EU countries as they try to close the intel gap.

Unless they're on their way to a session of Congress (in which case they get to ignore a multitude of vehicular laws), not really LEGALLY. De facto, they've been immune from prosecution in a lot of cases (and moreover immune to actual consequences) because congresspeople are, by and large, wealthy, white, and male.

Some white South African landowners are upset that the government is cracking down on land speculation. The government can seize land that's not being actively utilized under a new law they passed a few years ago.

Basically trying to do the thing Jacobo Arbenz got killed for.

It was Flavor-Aid, a knockoff brand.

Because it was cheaper.

Jones wanted the whole thing to be cheap, because the man was a skinflint. The entire massacre, including the bullets that some people wound up with after refusing to drink, was done for less than $20 adjusted.
