How do you handle banking? So many places no longer allow Americans to have bank accounts because of the reporting requirements, or did that change when I wasn't looking?

Republicans said the requirement could motivate people to find employment — maybe even a job that comes with health insurance. [...] [They] buy their sandwiches from the food truck with their food stamps

Republicans are extremely deluded about real life.

Thing is, I haven't really seen the Democrats prepare for anything.

If this goes through (I hope it doesn't, but don't know enough about Montana to say), folks should be aware that there's a third FDA-approved covid vaccine that doesn't use the mRNA technology. It's a more traditional protein subunit vaccine and it's called NovaVax. It's slightly less effective than the mRNA vaccines, but there's data showing that the resistance lasts a bit longer.

"Move fast, break things." Except when it's the government, you really don't want to break things.

In my state, they (along with the Emergency Broadcast System) were part of the civil defense network created during the Cold War. They were initially intended for war, imminent threat of war, or other national crises. Their brief was later expanded to be used for state and local emergencies. Exactly what they're used for (tornadoes, tsunamis, flood warning, etc) and under what conditions they can be used, depends on your state and local officials.

I'd also add that the government has tried to be rather restrictive about what conditions it could be used under. They want the siren use to be unusual enough that people respond to it as it there's an actual emergency. Unlike, for example, the fire drills you'd have in school or work, where people would debate whether to bother leaving their desks, head back to the office to get their things, etc.

Many of those arrested have been flown back to their native lands or sent to the prison on the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, while some have been released to live in the United States pending court proceedings.

Where are all the reich-wingers screaming about catch-and-release?

Uh, are you trolling? Anger is a form of aggression, and, no, people don't like being around people who are aggressive to them. I mean, it might be okay if the two of you were MMA fighters and the aggression only took place in the ring - but people want to be about to relax with their friends. Being around someone who is repeatedly aggressive toward them is not relaxing, so people will leave you.

Troopers made the arrests Thursday at Patty’s Lodge Motel in Canandaigua in Ontario County Thursday. [...] [The victim] was last known to be staying at the motel. [...] The five people moved the body from the motel to cover up the murder.

So, all five suspects were arrested at this motel, the victim was last known to be staying at the motel, and the murder apparently happened at the motel.

What were the motel staff doing during that month?!

"They're not hurting the right people!"

"Move fast, break things."

"No, not like that!"

Funny how the libertarians never mentioned this before the election ....

I'm aware of this. My entire family died because of covidiots. My apathy toward these people is immense.

"They're hurting the wrong people!"

22 children and two adults had been infected, all of whom were unvaccinated [...] the cases had been concentrated in a “more insular” community in the county, among people who attend church and private schools together. Many of the children are also home-schooled

After how groups like these actively spread covid, I'm really struggling to find any sympathy for them.

“It primarily affects logged-out users in the U.S.,” he said. “This one was particularly interesting because there really was a swing down, but then a recovery shortly thereafter happened right at the end of the quarter.”

Show me the graph, spez. Pics or it didn't happen!

Sucks to be them, then.

"There were a lot of people who were like, 'We've got to stop the groups from doing this.' ... People are concerned that they're saying we're not doing enough, but we're not in the majority," said one member. [...] Some Democrats see the callers as barking up the wrong tree given their limited power as the minority party in Congress.

So? Republicans have been in the minority and they're still successful in blocking the Democrats' agenda. I don't see why the Democrats are so reluctant to turn the tables when it's literally our entire fucking country on the line. They should refuse everything the Republicans try to do.

Narrator: He never did.

My thought was that there's just so much land. It's inhospitable, yes, but there so much they'd never be able to cover it all. They could invade and take the cities, but there's absolutely no way they could control the countryside.
