What work would you suggest is more honorable than the work that ICE is doing ?
If you don't like immigration law, then lobby to fix it, or sue to overturn it. Demanding that they just stop enforcing it is a ridiculous position.
Next you claim ICE is infamous for harassment and assault...
I hear that "untrained officers" line all the time, but it doesn't really seem relevant to these shootings.
The guy that shot Renee Goode had been a federal agent since the Obama administration. If he wasn't trained or shouldn't have been hired, you can't blame Trump.
Don't fall for the trap.
He wasn't killed because he was carrying.
He wasn't killed as punishment for anything.
Whether or not he "deserved" to die is irrelevant. Even if he was the biggest scumbag to ever visit epstein island and he really *did* deserve to die, that's not why ICE shot him...
He's shifting the goalposts.
Nobody is calling for deporting all non-citizens. Just the illegals.
Lots of legal permanent residents, they are welcome to stay.
They're just using the Hamas model.
They're one step shy of strapping toddlers to rockets and then blaming Isreal for not catching them safely over there.
And the useful idiots over here are directly responsible for that.
Carrying to a protest, I agree with.
But if you're going to do that, then don't involve yourself with any shenanigans.
If you intend to do anything more than protest, and less than a full send violent resistance, then leave the gun at home.
Basically, as soon as you have a gun, then violence...
Build the plant big enough, and you can just call the pacific ocean your reservoir.
But, to keep it from being a boondoggle, the right way to do this is for the government to just guarantee to buy a volume of fresh water over a long period of time, say x million gallons a day for the next 15...
What they need to do is switch the focus away from just deportation and onto the people interfering. The directive should be to prioritize the arrest of the people interfering over the deportation. Then use the deportations as bait to put the miscreants away.
If they really wanted to, they...
You're not wrong about the standard, but I'm not so sure you're right that it wouldn't be met in those circumstances.
What would it take in your opinion for a reasonable officer to fear serious injury in those circumstances ?
IMHO, just that the guy fighting on the bottom of the dog pile...
I've seen lots of people *say* that, but I haven't seen any actual proof.
They show a grainy video of an agent with a gun, but I have not seen anything that proves that was the gun that Pretti had.
On top of that, the standard for self defense (as we all know) doesn't require him to have been...
The problem with people on the left is that they think this is a game. It's not.
You cooperate right up until it's time to resist. But if you decide it's time to resist, then you'd better be planning to kill every single one of them, because that's what it's going to take.
You do *not*...
I can't imagine the infrastructure costs more than mine does.
there are 3 pumping stations (and 1000' of elevation) in the mile between me and the main road just to get it up the mountain.
It seems very strange that water in the literal desert is cheaper than it is in TN.
Now, I have septic, and always have, so that's a water only rate, but still.
Damn, that's a lot, my commercial water out here in the desert isn't that expensive.
We have the well now, so I don't use much from the commercial, but I do have a little bit of irrigation hooked up just to keep thinks moving So I know it's a viable backup. If my well pump dies or something...
The trick is that *everyone* is trying to hedge their risk against the dollar, because of the $38T debt.
Washington is incapable of fixing that debt, or even talking about what it takes to fix it. Musk proved that.
Once the first of the big players think they have insulated themselves enough...
Even the most iconic first ladies.
Nancy Reagan, Jackie O, etc...
But, to be fair, if you are a famous woman, it's likely your husband might just be known as "Cindy Crawford's husband", even if you're worth $400M on your own.
Happens fairy often out here.
Things are often delivered to the wrong mailbox, and most people will drop it back in the outgoing when they see they got the wrong package or letter.
So you'll get a delivery notification, but the box is empty, then it shows up a day or two later.
I have been...
That elevates these crimes to conspiracy charges.
It also means you can charge their co-conspirators as well.
Wonder how many people they can charge with conspiracy to commit attempted vehicular manslaughter for the recent incident...
Just saying....
Better than 90% of our Amazon orders are delivered by USPS out here. Of the remaining 10%, probably 8% are UPS and the other 2 split evenly between Fedex and Amazon's own delivery drivers.
And thanks to Mrs Spat's habits, we have a fairly large sample set to look at there.
The dysfunction in DC is so entrenched that it will take something the scale of the French revolution to dislodge it.
Musk shitcanned 80% of the Twitter employees in a few months and the company runs better than ever. He is probably the world's foremost expert on trimming the fat from an...
I don't think much will change honestly, other a guaranteed BS impeachment.
It's not like the Republicans have actually been *doing* anything, and it's not like having one branch will be enough for the Democrats to do anything either.
So, we'll go from a lot of noise but no real action to a...
The right has actually shifted quite a bit left since the 90s.
Half of the policies that Trump holds and gets demonized for were mainstream democrat policies just a few years ago.
Look at Clinton on immigration, or the LGB stuff for instance.
Required to carry a weapon at all times.
Because they are required to defend the innocent.
Typically that amounts to a small ceremonial dagger called a Kirpan.
What is the Kirpan? - World Sikh Organization of Canada What is the Kirpan?
As a religion, the Sikhs are very commendable, and...
The whole point of a free market is to determine the proper value of things.
That's why socialism always fails, without a free market the central planners can never appropriately price things.
When you attempt to price things based on feelings you will inevitably screw them up.
So, recycling...
GOA has a lawsuit pending to eliminate that.
The entire NFA is predicated on being a tax. If it's not a tax, then there is no legal justification for the registration.
Can you have a $0 tax ?
Yea, I never agreed with the idea of using irritants to disburse a violent crowd.
You need to arrest, charge, and jail the violent ones. If you've still got them locked up from the last time, you don't have to worry about them coming back tomorrow.
Otherwise you just encourage the "it's all a...
You dont have a general legal right to resist violently. You do have a right to have the means to resist.
If we ever got to the point of actual violence, then you'd better be prepared to kill everyone the government sends against you, because they will surely kill you if they can.
This is...
They're not committing crimes for illegals.
They're using the illegals as the excuse to commit crimes.
It's just like the leaders in a theocracy. They aren't tyrannical because of the religion, they're religious because it can be used to justify the tyranny.
That's only useful if they can see the aircraft that are attacking them.
We've already proven that they can't.
Honestly, in a conflict with us they're probably better off if they could crowd their airspace with civilian aircraft to be in our way.
And it needs to happen very soon.
The outcome will be decided by next week, if not sooner.
If Trump doesn't do something before the weekend, it will be too late no matter what it is.
The same way they would know she was a vegan or a crossfitter. They'll fucking tell you.
There are lots of homosexual people who don't make it their entire personality, there are lots of people who do crossfit just for the exercise.
And I assume there are at least a few vegans who really do...
Slavery is like cocaine.
You think it's letting you get a lot more work done, but what it's really doing is locking your society onto a dead end path to ruin.
