She seems like a crazy person that’s also a true believer.
She went to Washington wanting to expose, among other things, a secret child-sex abuse ring involving people at the highest levels of government and society. And lo and behold, there was one, but it was being protected by the people in her own party.
While the National Guard is prohibited from performing law enforcement on behalf of the President under the Posse Comitatus Act, the governor of the state they’re operating in can deputies them.for law enforcement.
He doesn’t need to wage war on ICE. He just needs them to be chaparroned by armed Nation Guard troops anywhere they go, and have them arrest ICE goons when they violate the law. If ICE gets proper judicial warrants and executes them lawfully, then there shouldn’t be any problems.
An important distinction on warrants is that an immigration judge cannot issue a judicial warrant because even though the word “judge” is in their title, they aren’t part of the judicial branch. They’re employees of the executive branch, so any warrants they hand out are administrative in nature and cannot legally be used to enter private property without consent.
That’s jury nullification. The sandwich guy is a perfect example.
By the letter of the law, he did commit assault. Nobody denies what he did, but the jury decided it was unreasonable.
This is exactly why juries exist. Jury nullification isn’t a loophole or a trick. It’s a built-in defense against unjust laws and corrupted executive and judicial officials.
If they’re kicking down my door, I’m fucked either way. Might as well try to take a few with me and make them more hesitant with the next house.
My idea:
We should do something big instead of spending 20 minutes haphazardly throwing together an afternoon with posters and calling it a general strike.
We need to plan a real, actual shutdown a few weeks out so we can make sure individuals can prepare to survive the strike while we wreck the economy.
They also tried to organize it with like 12 minutes of notice.
I get that it’s urgent, but if you don’t give people time to even get groceries ahead of time, you can’t really have a large-scale strike lasting longer than an afternoon.
Yeah. They published the minimum specs to get the OS to run at all with zero consideration for running actual software.
The thing with Vista was it was it was th3 first really major rebuild of Windows in a long time. Going to 98, ME, XP, etc you had increased minimum specs, but things like drivers and shit generally worked fine, so as long as you had the necessary RAM and processor to run the OS, you could just install the new version and shit would probably work.
So when Vista came along, the manufacturers selling existing models just shipped with the new OS expecting everything to work without testing.
Windows Vista launch was a fucking mess. My office bought a laptop for a coworker in early 2007 that shipped with Vista but didn’t have Vista-compatible drivers for the on-board audio. They had to buy an external USB sound card.
The third game also had that horrid “menuless” interface.
And in a series where magic was so OP it made other combat options useless in comparison, it had by far the most OP magic.
A maxed-out melee or ranged character would take twice as long to kill a single enemy as a low-level mage would take to kill a group of 10 enemies.
Prescription pill bottles are a perfect balance.
You can put the cap on one way to lock them in place to keep kids out, requiring the lid to be pressed down and twisted to open, or you can flip the lid over over to make the pills easily accessible by simply unscrewing it. I’d be 100% okay with a step on phone setup (that can also be run at any other time) that allows the phone to be set up similarly.
I expect that within a few months you’ll find NICS checks returning “DENY” for anyone who has ties to terrorism. The evidence of terrorism will be membership in things ike the ACLU, being a registered Democrat, having a reading level of 8th-grade or higher, etc.
A Friday 2 days from now.
I’m all for a general strike, but I do need to do little things like make sure there’s food in the pantry first.
I get there’s urgency, but a half-hearted shrug of a strike that we can’t maintain for more than a day is just gonna embolden them.
Yeah. I used to work in a destination outdoors store that sold sometimes hundreds of guns in a day. Once every few years we would find an unattended firearm in the store - usually in the bathroom. People would have a gun in a holster, and when the belt came off and slid down they’d lose retention and slide behind the toilet.
Even though every employee from the janitor to the cashier to the finance people were required to be trained on how to safely handle a firearm, we had a small list of managers that were allowed to handle guns that had been left unattended.
Out of 200 employees there were 8 of us allowed to secure a weapon.
The worst case of abandoned guns we had was someone who bought a concealed-carry purse, decided they didn’t like it and returned it. 2 weeks later they came by to ask if they’d left their gun in it.
I found it in the purse on the sales floor. The customer service team got a very stern lecture on another reason why we always inspect returns.
They really, really need to prioritize separating themselves from dependence on American tech companies and payment processors. That has to be accomplished to shield themselves.
Then they can and should embargo us and seize American assets until we get in line. After which they can resume trade, but keep the assets of the American oligarchs who have refused to defy the fascists.
Next month at this rate.
The US military is great at fighting other militaries. It’s terrible at fighting resistance movements. It’s why it lost in Iraq and Afghanistan.
