Maybe to keep the senile old coot from getting in the way of the people actually running the country?

If they don't like the justice they will face under the current system they *really* don't want to burn it all down. 20 years in Leavenworth will look like a spa day compared to what will come after a collapse.

They should release him. From about 10k feet over Gaza. He didn't actually break a law, so he gets a parachute. We can call it express deportation.

NY should just put in the gear to make all the kids pedal.....

Let me know when they start putting Aquanet back on the shelves with R12 as the propellant. You want to talk about the ultimate knee jerk overreaction. Even if you buy all the doom and gloom about the ozone hole destroying the earth, we went from R12 being a common aerosol propellant to...

Land is the ultimate inflation proof asset. It is the one thing they aren't making any more of. Even gold they mine more every year, and sooner or later someone is going to drag an asteroid with a metric shit ton of it back to orbit and start dropping it down 500 tons at a time. You're not...

The correct answer is for SCOTUS to do their job policing the judiciary. They are so loathe to punish rogue judges that once in office they can basically rule any way they want and the worst that happens is they get overturned. When their rulings are blatantly unconstitutional or otherwise...

Trump could cure cancer and most of the headlines would read "Trump puts thousands of oncologists out of work".

Way more people are landowners than a few super rich. What it would do is shift the voting demographic very strongly to rural areas where even the poor tend to own property, and away from urban areas where even upper middle class rent.

Maybe they stuck out ? Artist types are always doing "look at me" attention seeking bullshit.

The problem came when we decided that democracy meant anyone with a pulse should be able to vote. Our country was not designed to function with morons voting. Not sure any country can. But, morons are far more easily manipulated. You can run a very totalitarian regime if you can pollute the...

Imagine thinking the way to hit the US is by attacking a web site that an assistant to the president basically bought on a dare.

DC should not be a city. There should be no civilian housing there, and no privately owned real estate at all. It was meant to be an independent district, not a mini state.

And don't forget that the majority of your electric bill is *not* the actual cost of the electricity. It's mostly related to delivery and service charges. If you buy a $5 gizmo that $10 shipping, a 25% increase in the cost of the gizmo isn't really significant.

Anyone can afford to *hold* office. But only the wealthy can afford to *acquire* the office. But, if we're going to pay them more, it needs to be in exchange for additional constraints on them financially.

Someone go get a shit load of rope...

They don't figure. They literally write exemptions into the law for themselves. Congress critters are explicitly exempted from insider trading laws for instance.

I wouldn't want to try to play that game for long if I was Canada. I think Trump should not have picked this fight. Unless there was something going on I really don't know about, I think he should have left Canada alone. But, I don't think they can win this. The US is a lot less dependent...

Even if they just drag her to trial and force her to argue that she wouldn't have hired him if she'd known, it would be a major win.

Just make them announce any trades publicly 48 hours in advance. Then if they try to move on their insider information, everyone else on Wallstreet will beat them to it.

Glock 18, and just aim for the groin and let recoil do the rest. But carry lots of spare mags....

Official Taxes ? No. But the stealth tax called inflation would drop drastically.

There is a big gulf between what the law says and how prosecutors apply it. In practice, the level of "castle doctrine" in NY varies drastically depending on what county you are in, despite the law being identical in all of them. Prosecutorial discretion is an abomination.

No.

The CIA should not be allowed to have *any* funding source besides it's official budget. If any of their extracurricular activities turn a profit, they should have to turn it all over to the IRS. Same goes for *all* law enforcement.

Yea, they need to go after the people in these NGOs too. If you defrauded the American people, you should be going to prison.

One $24M payment is petty cash for out government as you sat. But it's become "a billion here, and a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money".

With luck the fight between TX and the NY doctor who prescribed the abortion pills will put a stop to this shit. NY is the state that decided they could reach out and punish companies anywhere in the country they don't like. Going to be real hard for them to argue against TX and the abortion...

It should be very hard to make anything in government classified. And only a few agencies should be allowed to do it at all. Certainly *nothing* USAID does has any legitimate reason not to be a complete open book. Hell, every email they send should be available online in real time.

No, it's not really a mystery at all.

Well, we better make sure the next one is secure then, right ? Paper ballots, photo ID, etc. You know, to make sure Elon can't hack it again, right ?

The reason China doesn't just sneak a nuke into DC on a boat is because Sun Tzu was Chinese, and they know not to interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Need serious punitive damages. Once that happens the flood gates will open. Ambulance chasers will find people who never wanted a gun in their life and get them to file suit for the payday. That would be fantastic.

No, the money generation is a secondary effect. The main purpose is to discourage legal gun ownership. They don't really care about the pittance they bring in in fees. That's petty cash for them.

He has been in office way too long, could have been one of his earlier terms...

They locked a lot of good people up for 4 years for "obstructing an official proceeding". Surely that could be applied here too..

They arrested Epstein and were supposedly going to take him to trial. They need to release all the evidence they were going to use at that trial. Either they arrested someone without any evidence, or they destroyed it. Maybe the reason he "died suddenly" is that they realized that evidence...

It's the foundation of fascism. When the line starts to blur between government and corporations, that's fascism. When the government straight up assimilates corporations, that's communism. That's essentially the only difference.

You'll find that probably half the regular posters on here are escapees and no longer NY serfs. Welcome to the board. You have our sympathy until you can also escape.

Obstruction of justice. Just because you have a badge doesn't mean you can hide evidence.

Not sure anyone ever accused them of being infallible. What they are is final.

Still released less radioactivity into the environment over it's lifetime than a coal plant. And *nobody* but the communists builds such shoddy nuclear plants. Western plants are far safer.

Conservatives should really just find some friendly judge and sue to stop the payments. Apparently any ridiculous reason is sufficient and any federal judge anywhere can do it. "Paying for this transgender mouse research in Lebanon is a violation of clean water act, prove me wrong". When the...

Put a damp cloth on the barrel above where you're heating it as a heat sink. Even if the heat treat right at the muzzle gets hosed, that doesn't matter much anyway. It's not a high pressure zone. Having the last inch of a barrel fully annealed probably wouldn't matter much anyway even if you...

I don't want fired, I want prosecuted.

Isn't kidnapping a federal offense ?

They had .30 cal HE rounds in WWII. I don't think anyone makes them anymore, but you could certainly scale these down from .50 and adjust the materials some. I wonder if just swapping the jacket for a silver alloy would be effective...
