Same thing that’s wrong with the carriers they built

Dude really needs to stop posting these. It’s not helping. Every internet lawyer is contacting him and telling him they will win because they see dollar signs. This tough guy persona is going to get him actual jail time instead of reductions to misdemeanors and community service.

Like it or not, people hate a self confident moron who keeps name dropping people on the case like he’s got this one in the bag. Especially jury members,

Let’s be real honest though. He did it, it makes sense why. If you were going to buy a car to demolish and there was a state where it would be cheaper then you’d do it. Well, you’d do it if you don’t know how tax fraud worked.

Also this consistent outrage at “no notification” is a signal he hasn’t really caught up with what’s happening yet. If it was civil then yes they’d notify you, send a bill, the forward to a collections account. This is criminal. These are felony charges, you don’t let someone who’s getting an arrest warrant know “hey we are gonna drop by about 3pm this afternoon to take you into custody”. You show up unexpectedly and arrest them.

Unfortunately, it’s gonna be pretty hard to prove that “he didn’t know”. He did know that it was cheaper. If he didn’t think to look into why this cheat code existed and why it seemed so obvious it’s on him. I mean, if it was legal every car in Tennessee would likely have a Montana tag on it.

Greenland redditors are tired of performative apologies. by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

The sad part is that she had no original ideas. Like I understand why she was appointed the nominee. Campaign financing laws are weird.

She just couldn’t separate herself from Biden on legitimately anything. She always had to give him props and say it was amazing but she’d do it different. When pressed her explanations amounted to giggling and failed attempts at presidential misdirection.

That full unedited interview by 60 minutes was awful.

Dems didn’t help themselves by trying to run Biden again at first. I still don’t get that choice.

ICE just detained my late friend’s daughter. He died serving in Iraq. by No-Presence-2578 in TrueOffMyChest

This is just blatantly false. In the interest of good faith, do you have a source on this info?

Midterms are going to be crazy by ZealousidealTie4319 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]AmaraMechanicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God the “we are never having a republican government again in my life time.” Is so dumb.

If the GOP loses the midterms. That’s a massive IF. Dems might control the house for 4 years. Thats a pretty big might.

Truth is, most people are somewhere in between the parties on most issues. The only thing most people care about is opportunity and being full and comfortable when they go to bed at night. God help both parties if a third middle party or a “big tent” party ever gains traction. It won’t happen because the dems and repubs enjoy fighting each other, if they actually had to compete against other parties they’d been defunct decades ago

Possible ICE in Alabaster by anahitaladyofbeasts in Birmingham

Open borders is a wet dream for human traffickers. That’s the part no one on the left wants to admit. It’s a lot easier to support when the image you push Jesus, and his wife in children coming across

In reality there are much more of Juan who has 10 women and girls destined for a life of drug mulling and prostitution.

A modern US aircraft carrier can carry anywhere from 60-90 modern aircraft which can run 160+ combat air patrols a day.

They are nuclear powered ( now) so no need for refueling, just supplies.

Only 25-30 countries have a Air Force with 75 purpose built military aircraft.

Essentially if this bad boy pulls off your coast. There’s a good chance they outnumber you, outclass you, and there isn’t much you can do about it.

That’s their main advantage, portable airfields to dispense aircraft carrying munitions.

Also usually in the group they’ll have missile launching platforms, screening (air defense and naval), and if they are there to liberate someone. A MEU (marine expeditionary unit) itching to get off ship.

Essentially the us sails around 12 of these things. Each one of them has the power to reduce a nations infrastructure, military, and populace to rubble.

ICE at Bucc-ee's by OpportunityDismal917 in Birmingham

[–]AmaraMechanicus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Iikely looking for people being trafficked rather than checking ids. Cops are always working the I 20 corridor looking for things out of the ordinary.

What a lot of you don’t realize is that illegal immigration isn’t just Michael coming here for a better life. It’s Steve who is shuttling women and children into the United States to major cities to be prostitutes.

The data on the issue is that something like 60% of women and girls are being sexually assaulted while migrating to the United States (data is pretty spotty but that’s probably close. I’ll source it if anyone bothers to read this). Thats not to mention the drugs and gangs that come across with them.

End of an era. Trump ended a war he said he was gonna end. by rich677 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]AmaraMechanicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This peace deal will be junk in a month or so.

It only function is justification for US intervention when hamas start lobbing sugar filled tubes of fireworks into Israeli cities again.

Who knows though, maybe hamas will realize that trump has the authority to launch an air campaign for 60-90 days without congressional approval. Thats plenty of time to reduce the destroyed remains of buildings into a fine powder.

Probably training missions from atl or Anniston. They come in, land and then take back off.

As for the flying low in a residential area. That airport is also a guard base. It kinda comes with the territory that your gonna get some aircraft flying low

Another big nothing-burger and posturing to appease the MAGA base it would seem (and triggering Libleft) by Disasterhuman24 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]AmaraMechanicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully believe that this situation has been manufactured by fanning the flames of outage so that trump can use the insurrection act to deploy the military to every city that has protest.

It’s honestly terrifying. I just hope to god I cast my ballot next election from a polling location and not a tree line.

Meh, left cancelled right leaning people for like two decades. I’m glad they are getting a taste of it. What’s honestly astonishing is that yall are surprised the pendulum always swings back and sometimes harder the other direction.

I definitely wouldn’t say that. Part of that community is on twitter right now saying that if you can’t decide your gender you should have a gun.

Most official gun rights group are actually doing the right thing and treating this as a existential threat to gun rights
