  • I'm pretty sure that the military understands in general that the bunker busters don't really work all that well.

    I think the more relevant factors in this calculation are (1) B2 is a technology from the 1980s, (2) B2 still looks fricken cool, (3) Tomahawk was also a big deal in the 1980s, (4) Israel already did all of the work suppressing air defenses, and finally (5) the big parade the week before kinda sucked.

  • Kilmar Abrego Garcia does not really have a "legal" status, as he has an active final deportation order, with withholding of removal to El Salvador only.

    He can be legally deported to a third country (not El Salvador) that will take him. Pursuant to the supreme court's decision yesterday, he can apparently be deported to these third countries with no advance notice whatsoever.

    Of course, deportation would make it hard to appear in Tennessee for his felony case. But that hasn't stopped ICE before. People have been arrested for failure to appear in criminal cases, because they entered ICE detention.

  • This is it. The old Huy Fong is completely gone now, unless you have a connection to someone who's been hoarding.

    There's a different sauce brand now that is produced by Huy Fong's old pepper farm using the same peppers. But I've been told that's not exactly the same either.

  • Olive oil, although it's not really 1-5 extra where I am. There's a lot of advice to buy cheap oil for cooking, but that's not really true. The truth is that a lot of 'extra virgin' oil is sold in an old, rancid state, and you have to upgrade into the mid tiers to get away from that.

    Buy the best olive oil you're willing to spend money on, even for cooking.

  • This lawsuit is on a really narrow ground: the law says that when the president calls up a state guard into federal service, the orders must issue through the state governor.

    In this case, the President wrote the words "Through: The Governor of California" at the top of the memos. But he never actually sent anything to Gavin Newsom, or gave California any formal notice at all.

    This suit also doesn't challenge the active duty marines, which are indisputably under Trump's chain of command. But they can't do domestic law enforcement unless the Insurrection Act is invoked (it hasn't, formally).

  • He was deported to Mexico (illegally), but he's a citizen of Guatemala. After that, he travelled from Mexico to Guatemala on his own. So his return to US was facilitated from Guatemala.

    For all we really know the agreement with El Salvador is a guaranteed one way deal that we pay them to handle and they're refusing to play ball beyond that.

    This seems to be the party line in the sealed ex parte filings that have been presented to judges. I've also seen allegations that the deal is a handshake deal only--nothing in writing.

    Judge Boasberg at least is taking them at their word, with some strong warnings about perjury.

  • SCS already went to the trouble of making a Russian map DLC, and they promptly shit canned it when a certain special military operation started.

    Maybe it wouldn't be too hard to dust it off...
