Remember Jade Helm? They thought Obama was going to use military exercises to take control of Texas back in 2015 or so. Gov. Shitstain even made some comment lending credence to the theories. Now there’s a president using the military to control parts of Texas and they’re cool with it.
Sounds like mine. Shrill beeps that can’t be cancelled, muted, or interrupted, although I think mine is 30 seconds before the reminder beeps.
My favorite part, though? It beeps when you open the door. Like, just as a sound effect. I, the user, your god and your master, am the one who opened your door. There is no status to notify me of, there is no input to confirm. It’s just useless racket that can’t be eliminated without hardware modification.
No, stop dismissing this as “just a distraction.” Just his comments alone already violate the sovereignty of several independent nations and should not be trivialized.
Control of the Arctic circle is a very real strategic goal, and one that Putin has had his eye on for decades. Currently, Greenland and Canada are the only controlling interests in the region with oil drilling moratoriums in the Arctic. Controlling those countries’ territories and improving relations with Russia are completely congruent efforts toward that goal.
If there’s anything we should have all learned about trump so far, it’s not to dismiss anything he says as just a joke. Sure, there’s damaging scandals to distract from, but that doesn’t mean this is just theater.
Sure, it also irks me when people start with the “nazi car” and “designed by Hitler” nonsense. The origins of the company aren’t something to be celebrated, but they’re not something to be denied either. And like you say, no German car company is totally clean, including use of slave labor by VW, Mercedes, and BMW.
Still, I see the post-war, civilian production of VWs as an example of the success of the reconstruction of West Germany rather than a continuation of any nazi ideology.
I would generally consider myself a VW apologist, but what you’re saying is simply not correct. They didn’t just make “a few vehicles for the military,” they produced over 50,000 kubelwagens, over 15,000 schwimmwagens, and hundreds of officers’ vehicles. They were the primary manufacturer of light military vehicles for Germany during the war. To this day the schwimmwagen holds the highest mass production figures of any amphibious vehicle.
Here’s an info plate out of a 1943 kubelwagen, with (uppercase V) “Volkswagenwerk G.m.b.H.” across the top, just as they did all through the Ivan Hirst and Heinz Nordhoff eras.
They even had nearly the same logo going back to before the war. This is an example of the “cog emblem” as seen on the hood of a 1943 Volkswagen.
According to their narrative, he has already been shown in court to have MS-13 affiliations in two separate court cases. Just a quick trip through “no saint fallacy” land and to them it justifies bypassing due process.
The muddier truth is that he was ruled to have ties to MS-13 after he was picked up from a Home Depot by Maryland police, which he contested, but the finding was upheld in his US Immigration hearing. The evidence, however, was extremely dubious and introduced by an officer who has since been fired and an informant who linked Abrego Garcia to a gang chapter in an area where he’s never lived. You can look into the details more (the Wikipedia article is good), but the point is that those two technically legal findings of fact, dubious as they may be, are enough for the USAG to insist that he’s already had his day in court and shift the conversation away from the fact that he’s never actually been accused or convicted of a crime and that he had a withholding of removal status applied by an immigration court.
As long as they have “but the court said he was a gang member” to lean on, they’ll never engage with you on your “but it violates due process” turf.
It is kind of surprising that all three of the trump-appointed justices went along with the opinion. They’re no heroes by any means, but I’m still relieved when they decide to do the bare minimum. Really, it just shows how depraved Thomas and Alito are.
Credit Karma Tax and Cash App Tax used to work the same way. Both have been acquired by intuit in the last few years. I really hope freetaxusa can hold strong, because they’re the last one I know of that still works that way.
Yeah, that is the joke. It’s kinda like The Pack type humor in that it’s mocking how out of touch the demographic that would usually make this kind of complaint is. Modern jazz musician culture is a whole lot of meta-absurdist humor.
That appears to be half of Brian May in the background, who is, of course, also a phenomenal musician.
If you trust KnowYourMeme, the phrase “image macro” was coined in 2004 and popularized in 2005. 4chan was started in 2003.
Stigmatized to the point that left handed kids were forced to learn to write with their right hand, including physical punishment from teachers if they were caught using their left hand. Not just voluntarily hidden, but actively suppressed.
By all means, be angry about this, but nobody will be held in contempt over this. The SC deliberately phrased it “facilitate” his return as a weasel word instead of “effectuate” like the lower court stated, to give them room to wiggle out of actually bringing him back without putting themselves in the position of having to do anything about it.
This article sums it up
WTF is that nonsense academia babble? This genuinely might have come from an LLM.
“To calculate reciprocal tariffs, import and export data from U.S. Census Bureau for 2024.”
It’s not even a complete sentence. Whatever wrote that is treating “import” and “export” in the dependent clause as verbs instead of adjectives.
I also remember republicans freaking out about how Obama was going to run for a third term and declare himself king even though there was absolutely no indication that anyone thought that was a good idea. He was just popular and they couldn’t handle it.
I think it’s really dangerous to keep dismissing the Greenland talk as a distraction. We have learned the lesson dozens of times before not to dismiss anything he says because it’s just “crazy talk.”
Taking control of Greenland and Canada would give a US-Russian alliance complete control over the Arctic circle, which has been a tactical goal of Putin’s for decades.
The day could come very soon when the US will take military action against Europe on behalf of Russian interests, and the rest of the world should take it seriously and prepare.
The Ukrainian flag is upside down on the map. Yellow should be on the bottom.
Last time I messed with it, when I added a new skill, it let me choose which job experience it was relevant to, so I think they’re linked.
No idea why you’re getting downvoted for pointing this out. This is literally the flaw with the insurrection clause of yes 14th amendment and precisely why it wasn’t enforced. SC ruled that states don’t get to enforce it on their own authority, but failed to specify who does. If the amendment had specified an enforcement mechanism, there would be no need for interpretation.
