And powerful friends in high places. There's evidence that the State Department leaned on Romania to allow them out of prison to "visit their dying mother" in the US - which apparently includes nightclubs and at least one sexual assault allegation.
Cedar waxwings do something similar - their favorite food is juniper berries, and usually by the time they're migrating and need to eat a lot, those juniper berries are fermenting on the bush or have dropped off. I've seen bunches of these idiots just rolling around too drunk to fly.
This. It's literally just suggesting "well how about we just let them die", AKA murder. The HHS especially is now just being filled with eugenicists who are, in general, too chickenshit to just come out and say "well we should kill all of them".
Yup, I was just talking to my mother about politics the other day. She's a MAGA-type and while even she's starting to crack on the "wow maybe literally setting fire to 2/3 of the governmental agencies wasn't a good idea" thing, she's still dead convinced it's "for the best" and "well worth the savings" to not be "financing plays about gay people in Dublin" or whatever, and everyone protesting is "just wanting to oppose President Trump because that's what they're told to do".
Tate all but said on Twitter that he moved to Romania specifically to avoid rape charges in the UK (specifically, he said he moved there because they "don't investigate" sexual crimes). Several women have since come forth in the UK about his sexual assaults and battery of them.
Nah, he's not that kind of dictator. He doesn't need to feel like he's in the military - he needs to feel like he's above them, on top of them as it were. The big military parade isn't for him to feel like a general - it's so he can copy his authoritarian friends without actually having the military cred himself to back it up. It's cargo cult dictatorship.
Genuinely serious. Jackson is Trump's favorite President for a reason: he exposed that under a determined enough man with enough popular support behind him, neither Congress nor the SCOTUS can actually do anything about a President acting in contravention of a court order. If the SCOTUS says "this bill is unconstitutional", will it stop anyone from actually acting like it's in force?
You would be incorrect. Many wealthier high schools put a ton of money into their sports facilities and equipment. Several HS in my state operate 10-thousand-plus-seating stadiums that look a lot like collegiate or semiprofessional facilities.
So to expand on these, because a lot of people seem to think "it's because they cared", that's only partially it.
Back before faster travel methods, if you wanted a small bird for any reason and it had to travel any significant distance, you would assume at least a 75% fatality rate from stress, with that increasing to roughly 90% over greater distances.
So canaries and finches were expensive, and unless your mine was close to a port city, you'd be traveling 3-4 days at least. Need 4 canaries? Better buy 40.
Oh nah, I'm convinced some of them will definitely get got by their own private security forces. Whatever they pay them, it's not enough to stop someone saying "hey if we drop this guy and take his hands for fingerprints, I'm betting we could withdraw an ass load of cash and disappear before anyone knew."
They don't. They've said they really don't. What it DOES do is increase the instability of the market, and a lot of the people behind Trump stand to profit if they can pick up the pieces after a financial collapse, just like what happened in 08, just like what happened in 2020.
Genocide. The Clinton admin invented the term "ethnic cleansing" to justify the US government disobeying their own laws requiring intervention against genocide (at that point, in Rwanda).
Several of these people actually succeeded in prosecuting a war against invading US forces like the Shoshone.
Then, of course, we just reneged on the treaties later when they weren't on a war footing.
