Well...those were mugshots taken after their arrests on murder charges... wouldn't it be even more disturbing if they were smiling and cheerful?

Anti-steroid propaganda was probably the only effective messaging from the war on drugs, but like all drugs, it's relative, and not that simple.

Not to go on too long of a tangent here, but the complete restriction of these classes of drugs actually can cause a lot of unnecessary harm to athletes. For example, in helping athletes heal and recover from injuries, or surgeries.

Recovery time is really important in pro-sports where the ability to earn money is limited to a relatively short window e.g. professional fighting. Often time fighters will return before they're fully healed, because they need to earn a living. In many of those cases, steroids could have significantly shortened their recovery time and reduced the risk of further injury.

I'm not here pretending that steroid use can't also cause undo harm to athletes, just that it's not as black and white as many people believe.

Edit: to be clear, steroids are some of the most complicated drugs to use correctly in order minimize long-term health effects, such as destroying your endocrine system. Professional or amateur, they should only be used under the close supervision of a specialized doctor.

...The Democrats don't care either. Enabling corporate maleficence, stock buy backs, and deregulation of the railroads, is a bipartisan issue.

Don't be an asshole, this is just a minor bump in the rode.

If anything, it validates Tesla's stock price because it shows they are very close to a fully wireless steering.

Of course first gen will still have a chimp in the trunk with the brain implants, but I hear second gen they'll install a Central American.

There's absolutely organized crime involved. The hospital staff weren't posting the babies on eBay. There was most likely a network of abductors, brokers, agencies, etc.

All done for profit, so yeah, it's the definition of human trafficking.

That is a genuinely heart wrenching read. I look forward to more reporting, but this is type of story where digging too deep may result in a hit and run "accident", or straight up car bombing.

They don't go into too many details, but it sounds like hospital staff were paid to abduct the infants and tell parents their newborns died.

Given how widespread it was, I assume it was a system of brokers who paid off the staff, took the infants, and then acted as go-betweens for the agencies selling the babies for adoption.

That's entirely speculation on my part. I hope they can dig deeper into this and bring some level accountability for the sake of those families.

He was mayor during 9/11, not because of it.

That aside, you're right about him coasting off 9/11 for quite a while. His failed Presidential bid was basically him spamming "9/11” from start, to finish.

He had the same problem as Meatball Ron: the more the GOP base voters heard him and saw him, the more they were repulsed by him.

Soviet improvement as the war went on was a function of lend lease, Red Army finally recovering from the Stalinist officer purges, and Germany's failures (incompetence, lack of material, overstretched supply lines, etc.)

Regardless, the Red Army no longer exists and Soviet Cold War doctrine isn't really relevant to this conflict.

Wait... You don't actually think the executives are actually going to switch from resource extraction mode to an invest in company strategy, right?

What do you think a blockade does...? What do you think siege warfare does...?

Not really. He died having won all his battles.

If he died at hands of some rough trade gone wrong, that would feel good.

If he died because one of these cancer striken plant workers had killed him, that would have felt better

But no, he died after helping reshape America in his disgusting image, so no, it doesn't feel like a win because he died on his own terms.

Laser's aren't difficult to counter, and are extremely dependent on uncontrollable operational conditons i.e. the weather.

No one weapon of the military is used in a vacuum, they are awful bloody tools in a large toolbox.

So having this will expand the capabilities and cost effectiveness overall, but not because it's singularly amazing and unbeatable.

Nearly half those "involved" were FBI informants...

He's unironically a cuck. After all of Trump's personal attacks and humiliation, Ron went full TED CRUZZZZZZ and immediately got on his knees and started slobbing on Trump's golden knob.

What a big dumb baby.

You just described approximately 95% of all post-9/11 FBI terrorism cases, as well as the Michigan Governor's "attempted kidnapping".

If the official statement is immediately blaming "outside influence"/saboteurs, then I'm inclined to believe that it was very likely just a good old fashioned gross negligent fuckup, which may, or may not, be attributable to corruption and generally lax Russian safety standards.

If you're talking about the mainstream press, then there is no "liberal" media, only neoliberal, and they usually remain pretty quiet on the issue of SCOTUS expanding corporate power. Which has been pretty nonstop since the 1970s, and those cases are usually decided somewhere between 7-2 and 9-0.

I hope the Freedom Caucus doesn't rest until they get Speaker Gaetz or MTG.

Then finally, we can switch from the Mooch Metric to the Head of Lettuce system.

You're something special.

Okay kid, if this was all about you wanting to feel like you won an argument because people are declining to act as your personal Spotify Crime Explained playlist generator, then you win.

I just gave you a primary source for that...and a lot more...
