The argument I heard initially was that irregular migrants are not, somehow, subject to the jurisdiction of the US.

No no, don't try to boil it down to "they want us fighting each other". Those wealthy people, and a good chunk of those poorer people, actually truly believe in the things they are saying. A lot of them TRULY, DEEPLY BELIEVE that they have to shout this and spread the word because the stakes are nothing less than literal life and death.

He's mad that Putin and el-Sisi both got cool military parades. I remember him wanting to do this in his first term.

Nope, this fits right in. We're all useless and don't contribute a thing, thus we simply shouldn't be taking up resources. At all. From anyone.

I'm sure you can fill the blanks in, but I'll put it this way: the only resources they want "autistic" people (because you can really stretch that definition to include pretty much anyone if you stretch the definition of things like social norms) to receive is a single 5.56mm round.

He has spasmodic dysphonia, a muscular condition that MAY have been exacerbated by his drug use. His voice is a result of an experimental surgery he elected to undergo to alleviate it to a degree - IIRC he is claimed to have spent most of 2017-2020 almost completely uncommunicative with the world outside his house, barely ever leaving AT ALL because his dysphonia pre-surgery was so bad that it was a great effort to speak at all.

It's in the frame. Literally they do not have drains in the frame, it's all solid metal. So the second you get water anywhere in the frame, it's there forever.

My big issue with AC6 is that the method they EXPECT you to win with is not explained. Stability damage is not explained until AFTER you beat the "tutorial" mission, which is just bad design, and expects you to have played a FromSoft game with that system in it. If you're like me who's coming in from Verdict Day WITHOUT having played a Souls game, it's just a rough fight.

Does this not directly, nakedly violate the sovereignty clause?

Nah, not alcohol - they'll start with drugs, because that gives them a convenient casus belli to say "Mexico isn't doing enough to suppress the cartels, so the carpet bombing began 20 minutes ago".

Actually they've been trying to invoke the Comstock Act constantly to force ISPs to block porn sites. This particular rallying cry is something I remember since the late Bush II years.

I got laid off literally less than 20 minutes after I finished everything that needed to be done for that quarter. They told me they were waiting for me to finish, and that they had lied to my face about finding me a new position when they closed up my office.

More specifically, this lets them eavesdrop on phone calls with other world leaders in flight, conversations he might have onboard, and email/cell communication onboard. All of which the Qatari government will be selling to the rest of OPEC, I'm sure.

Watch for more "gifts" like this from EU countries as they try to close the intel gap.

Yup, this is getting donated to his presidential library after he gets out (rather, it's supposed to).

That being said, what's the listening devices per square foot on this?

Other dictators and conservative authoritarians, mostly. El Salvador, Rwanda, Russia, Hungary, Belarus maybe.

Unless they're on their way to a session of Congress (in which case they get to ignore a multitude of vehicular laws), not really LEGALLY. De facto, they've been immune from prosecution in a lot of cases (and moreover immune to actual consequences) because congresspeople are, by and large, wealthy, white, and male.

Some white South African landowners are upset that the government is cracking down on land speculation. The government can seize land that's not being actively utilized under a new law they passed a few years ago.

Basically trying to do the thing Jacobo Arbenz got killed for.

It was Flavor-Aid, a knockoff brand.

Because it was cheaper.

Jones wanted the whole thing to be cheap, because the man was a skinflint. The entire massacre, including the bullets that some people wound up with after refusing to drink, was done for less than $20 adjusted.

Surprisingly, a lot of the white nationalist organs here in the US have VERY intimate contact with white national South African groups. I'm wondering how many of them are coming here to avoid getting caught in government dragnets in SA. Lots of the bombmaking know-how and quite a lot of weapons flowed into South Africa during the fight to keep apartheid from the 60s-90s (and now the fight to either topple the post-apartheid government or create a separatist state where they can institute apartheid), and much of THAT was supplied by contacts in the American KKK. Weird Little Guys did an incredible deep dive on the interlinking of the white nationalist movement internationally with white South African resistance to the ANC and the DeClerc and post-DeClerc governments.

I was gonna say "or like 10 minutes to Falkreath," but Falkreath has nothing either.

China sure won't sit by while people are lobbing nukes at countries on their borders.
