  1. Being that there are eleventy hundred dueling narratives out there.....ranging from extremes of "this was pre-meditated and planned murder from the get-go" to "he should get off entirely because it was self-defense"....with a shitload of narratives in between, then yeah. This is actually why we have an adversarial system of justice: get the evidence out there and decide what actually happened.
  2. And the golden cheeked warbler, and every other endangered species you can think of. You can cut down the trees they live in, bulldoze the prairie, fill in the springs, whatever you want. So long as you don't personally grab one and kill it face-to-face, all good. Seriously, that's only slightly hyperbolic. You can't directly kill an animal. But you can destroy its habitat, food source, etc.....so they all die....and that's a-ok.
  3. Hey, just letting you know that the Endangered Species Act is pretty much over as well: So, what does that mean? In short form, it means that yes, while it's still illegal to shoot an ocelot (for example), it will now be 100% legal to pave over every single acre of their habitat, depriving them of prey, shelter, a place to live, all of that stuff. All habitat protection per the ESA....gone. Completely. Do you have your eye on that tract of land where you'd like to pave it over and build a strip mall full of MAGA gear shops, but gosh, it's some of the last remaining critical habitat for an endangered species? Well, fret no more! Fire up the bulldozers, and scrape it to the bedrock!
  4. Just noting the dollar continuing its free-fall. It's now up to $1.33 to buy a GBP.
  5. Hey, so on that deal about DOGE fucking stealing the data of millions of Americans.....where are all of the good Republicans who have been screaming about "the DEEP STATE!" for all these years? Aren't we supposed to be opposed to that? Isn't that a threat we should fight against tooth-and-nail? Because I gotta tell ya, you super-duper freedom warriors are falling the FUCK down on the job: Where are you guys? You super libertarian types.....why so quiet?
  6. Wife and I were just talking about this (after we saw a line of motorcycles cruising down 360 Sunday afternoon). At our old house, we used to have to listen to them drive by all weekend. But now it's gone, except....it's apparently coming back: https://www.eaglerider.com/motorcycle-events/republic-of-texas Doesn't look to be nearly the big deal it once was, though.
  7. Oh, let's get back to Garcia again. So, in actual court filings, and in the actual past court record related to him, 1) there is no finding that he was a member of MS-13, and in fact 2) he was allowed to stay because he was at risk FROM MS-13, and 3) the administration (via affidavit, not just a statement by a lawyer) admitted his deportation was "an administrative error." What did the administration say yesterday in a press conference, some things for the first time? 1) He is a terrorist, 2) he is a member of MS-13, and 3) he is a human trafficker. Are there any findings by any adjudicative body of any of these things? NOPE. The admin just.....says so. The human trafficking allegation (with zero evidence) was stated for the first time at a fucking press conference yesterday. Has the administration put forth ANY evidence to substantiate its claims? NOPE. So let's be clear. The administration, without offering ANY evidence, in ANY venue or forum (public, private, court, etc.) can declare you (yes, YOU) to be a "terrorist" and "human trafficker," and then....do whatever the fuck it wants to you. What is the proof that you are those things? Well...the administration says so. That's enough. Everything that all the people freaking out about "the deep state" claimed to be afraid of now exists....and they fucking EMBRACE it.
  8. Guys…when BurntEyes is the voice of measured, logical reason around here…y’all are FUCKED. Seriously, spot-on post.
  9. 1) It might shift the primary insurance (to the homeowner instead of the builder), but maybe not the liability. If the event was caused by the negligence of the builder, he’s still the target. 2) Yes, the other homeowners should be covered under their own policies, which is good, because there won’t be enough coverage on the policy of the home that bore up or of the builder to cover all the damage. The other homeowners’ carriers may and likely will go after the primary responsible parties’ coverage, but it won’t be enough to cover it all.
  10. But, but, all the MAGAs here to me they are “FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTISTS!” So, this simply can’t be.
  11. Back to Russia Today for retooling. It ran into challenges with the focus group.
  12. Also...as to that insane dickhead post above.... what does "winning" this war against China look like? He says "We attempted to force China out of the system. If we fail, regardless of who is president, they will exact revenge." That implies that...we must SUCCEED in "forcing China out of the system." What sane fucking person thinks that China would ever, ever accept that outcome (being forced out of the global economic system)? Is he insane? That outcome is, to the loser, total and complete destruction. China would sooner pop off all of its nukes than suffer that outcome. He is rooting for an outcome that is fucking insanity, and a GUARANTEE of actual massive kinetic warfare. WTF? That's one of the most idiotic things I've ever fucking read, and it only gets more ridiculously stupid upon re-reading.
  13. This. In simplified terms, if you have the contractual power/authority to accomplish something, then you have the necessary authority. The agreement between the US and El Salvador to send prisoners there in exchange for compensation almost certainly gives us some control over the people we send there (for example, if we needed one of them returned to the US to testify as a witness for the prosecution in an ongoing federal criminal case brought by the DOJ, I'm pretty damned confident that our agreement allows us to request that he be released to our custody for that purpose). Either we retain custody and control via agreement, in which case the Regime is lying and is in contempt. OR We lose all control over anyone we send to prison in El Salvador, thus violating the FUCK out of the constitution (because that means we disappeared people without any due process).
  14. Bullshit. Our greatest existential threat is from within -- TFG and his band of insane clowns -- NOT China. Solve the biggest problem first. Aligning with this administration is never the answer. We have to purge the poison. Then we can work on how to deal with rivals. And guess what? If we purge the poison, we WON'T still be at war with China (China doesn't want a stupid and pointless war either). Shitty take...that just so happens to coincide with exactly what this poster wants, and has always wanted: complete and unconditional support for the Trump Regime and its entire agenda. Nope. I agree with the Trump Regime on one thing: we're going to have to experience some real pain to get to a better place. But that pain isn't the pain of fighting a stupid war that THEY want. It's the pain of going through the chemo of purging the cancer that is the Regime and its cronies that we NEED.
  15. It's not about defending yourself against any large-scale action. It's about defending yourself and neighbors when a van of shock troops shows up, doesn't identify themselves, and tries to disappear you. My wife learned in a self-defense class years ago -- when attacked and someone's trying to abduct you, DO NOT GO TO THE SECOND LOCATION. Do everything you can to avoid that -- wreck your car and injure yourself, whatever you have to do. Well, a new gestapo that is not bound by any law is not dissimilar to a criminal enterprise. Don't go to the second location....because it's a foreign gulag, and you'll never come back.
  16. This is what I'm sayin'. Funny story: when the boy was maybe 10, we went to Michi Ramen. Had a bit of a wait, so we were waiting outside. The sign outside the Yellow Rose was advertising their lunch special -- "Steak lunch: $5.99" The boy sees it, and says "hey dad, you and I should go eat there sometime!" Mom, sister and I crack up, he looks confused. I explain to him what the Rose is, and he got embarrassed as hell.
  17. That's kinda where I am on them. Plus, it's not too far from us, and the line is usually tolerable.
  18. It's already gone, dude. There's one means of protecting yourself and your family now. Arm yourself. I don't care if you are an anti-gun liberal -- get over it, and arm yourself.
  19. That's WHY they're going after it -- BECAUSE it does good work. "Good" is evil. Remember, our co-president stated that empathy is a BAD thing. We are full on "evil movie villain" territory. It's not ambiguous.
  20. Word is that all of those long-ass game show microphones nationwide will be flown at half mast:
  21. Yep. Put it in terms the MAGAs will understand: Terrorist organization Al Qaeda extorted a family. They demanded that their son join Al Qaeda. Having listened to the fine folks in the US military, who said Al Qaeda is bad, and you should never help them, in fact you should get away from them, he did exactly that. He fled Al Qaeda, so they could NEVER force him to be a suicide bomber. The entire reason for him fleeing to the US was to AVOID helping and being a part of Al Qaeda. The US government knew this, and treated his case accordingly, affording him status consistent with that. But then the Trump Regime fucked up, and categorized a guy who was "I fucking hate Al Qaeda and ran away from them so I would never, ever have any part in their evil" as "a member of Al Qaeda." So, you know, the literal OPPOSITE of what he is. And then they scooped him up, black-bagged him, and shipped him off to a foreign prison....full of the exact Al Qaeda assholes who he ran away from and who want to kill him and his family. So, Trumpkins....WHY DO YOU SUPPORT AL QAEDA TERRORISTS BY GIVING THEM WHAT THEY WANT?
  22. YES. FUCK. THEM. More suffering. More loss. More agony. This is what they voted for FOR EVERYONE ELSE....it is only fair that it be visited upon them. Hope for that Cat 5 storm, with catastrophic economic loss and damage, and NO FUCKING RECOURSE OR HELP. No insurance, no FEMA, NO NOTHING. SUFFER. We're all on the suffer train. Get the fuck on board, MAGA -- you're the ones who bought tickets for all of us.
  23. Correct. The correct path is to dox and harass and make miserable all Trumpers. Shame their kids. Wreck their businesses. Ruin them personally, socially, and economically. Accelerate their ruin and suffering. They speak only one language: pain. So....start speaking it more loudly than they do.
  24. So, brutal chemo and such....then see how the tumor looks?
