Strange, the overlap between the political obsessions of Russia, and those of Conservatives in the United States. It's almost as if one controls the information consumed by the other....

It's not even the first time. Several years ago Georgia cracked down on employers of illegal immigrants and you know what happened? A whole shitload of produce rotted in the fields, because it turns out picking vegetables in 90 degree heat with 100% humidity for 14 hours a day 6 or 7 days a week for minimum wage isn't really a job people want.

It's always depressing to me that there are pretty obvious ways to fix problems but absolutely no way to enact solutions.

Publicly funded elections (so corporations cannot buy their way in), and a ban on post-career employment for politicians fixes it immediately. But fat chance of that.

BROWN PEOPLE COME FROM MEXICO

• Maga, probably

You'd need 2/3 of the Senate to vote to get rid of him after years of party purification - the reasonable people are all gone.

I'm trying to imagine how the collapse of Rome would have gone if Caesar had been so limp dicked and useless.

I would be honestly less concerned if I thought the administration would be successful in deporting people. I think you're relying heavily on "due process" here, when the reality is they can just accuse you of a crime, deny you bail, and then hold you pretty much indefinitely. You let the ones who can get lawyers out and you've pretty effectively filtered the population for wealth.

The Nazi death camps started as temporary internment camps with the intent to deport Jews eventually.

Then they just ended up with a whole bunch of people in camps with nowhere to send them and were like, "well, we might as well get some work out of some and kill the rest" and it sort of escalated from there.

Which with their "camps for the mentally ill, homeless, and drug addicted" and "deportation emergency" sounds alarmingly similar.

Fascists also tend to take a "kill them all, let God sort them out" approach to things like this.

Here legally but the wrong shade of brown? Maybe your English is too accented? "Don't worry the arrest is just preventative, once they prove they're here legally (from the camp, with no resources, assistance, or access to their documentation) they'll be returned to their community."

Except they won't. Oopsie, gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette.

I have a dog that insists on marking inside the house in a few different places and no amount of training, deterrent sprays, or preventative potty breaks has been able to fix it. It wasn't a problem until we had a housemate move in with a dog who peed inside the day they moved in and it's been non stop ever since.

As for the concrete patio, I had a dog door that my only pup at the time could use to let herself out with. The entire space was concrete with a small strip of dirt that had some trees and stuff. I would be gone for work for most of the day so she'd let herself out to use the bathroom. I'd clean up the poop and stuff but the pee was kind of a pain to get up and off and I was really busy for a few months. She was getting walked or taken to the dog park nearly daily.

I assure you, both of my dogs are extremely well taken care of. I've spent hundreds of dollars and dozens of hours to try to alleviate the peeing inside problem at this point and pretty much everyone, trainers included, is at a loss for how to get him to stop. But thank you for your concern. I'm sure you would do better than me but I just can't be as superior a being as you.

It's like a Voltron of shitty people

Yes, from my personal experience. We mop up dog pee in the house all the time with hot water and a splash of bleach and it's totally fine. It bubbles a little when you rinse the mop in the bucket and you can definitely smell the reaction occurring.

However, I also once cleaned the back patio of my old apartment of a summer's worth of dog pee on concrete with about a gallon of straight bleach and had to wait for it to air out for about 20 minutes because it was a definite chemical hazard. As in, eyes burning, and difficult to breathe. I started pre-rinsing with the hose to dilute everything prior after that.

Also the ability of mirror neurons to watch someone do a thing, then conceptualize and execute it with your body is extremely interesting.

Reprocessing of old pits.

It's more a matter of precision, purity, infrastructure, and staffing.

And you can have them effective/guaranteed to work, safe/without personnel or environmental contamination, or cheap. Pick two.

I just wanted to add some context for one of these bullets.

The US is upping the amount it spends on nuclear weapons maintenance and production because China has reentered the game as a major player. They'd been stable at 300-350 warheads for decades but is expected to ramp up to producing 100+ per year by 2030.

So one major adversary has just been replaced by another. Everything old is new again, including the cold war arms race.

If blue no matter who worked, the Democrats would have won. So that's obviously not a thing.

5.56 is ~50 cents a round and has been for years at this point

I'm pretty convincing he's being encouraged to outright collapse the us by Putin

No, it isn't like the nemesis system in a Lord of the rings game. A new VP is appointed, instead of everyone moving up a rank.

Why not just....hire spokespeople for a PAC at $500k/yr based on a public contest/audition about making right wing content? Same outcome, not at all illegal.

Hayes ending reconstruction is one of the worst and possibly one of the most consequential decisions in the history of mankind.
