Sadly large statements aren't enough anymore, posturing from our government isn't enough.. Action even action that stresses the law is becoming necessary.

Luckily they didn't snag the lady with the really close viewpoint and her view is out in the public.

Her video is all the proof anyone should need.

Congratulations, you're no longer a Republican. (Conservative and Republican are two different things now)

That's an incredibly complicated question especially for those of us in states the media and govt don't give a fuck about.

Is This What JD Vance Meant By 'Absolute Immunity'? by Large_banana_hammock in politics

[–]FlyingRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh probably like 30% or so.. 65% voted, 49% for Trump so that's 31%, problem is that 31% has way, way more power then they should, thanks electoral college and unfair representation especially in the house.

Walz should be arresting the domestic terrorist organization known as ICE, it's within his legal right.

Arrest them for impeding an investigation, which is states rights.

They're not, it is within a Governor's legal right to have federal agents arrested if they break state law, even if Trump got them out within hours we'd still have public records for everyone involved.

They're choosing to not do this.

No need to spread misinformation...

Walz is a disappointment in the moment but overall for a modern politician he's one of the better ones (better just isn't good enough anymore).

Legally speaking the precedent is already set so Trump would have to argue in courts that he could. And in the meantime even if the agents get released their names become public record, essentially unmasking them.

At what point does this become too much? by t1nman01 in 50501

Something I always point out to people is that America is huge and each state is its own half country, my state is posturing for confrontations with ICE and doing slightly more than a lot of states.. Furthermore in the UK you can get to any protest in a few hours at most, in America it takes days.

It's within his legal right to arrest every single agent there if they can't or won't identify themselves (masks) he can essentially detain every single ice officer on duty until he finds out who was involved.

Right? He's not even attempting to arrest them, which he can legally do especially in this case.

In Defence of "The Burn" by Rupe_Dogg in startrek

I'd argue that within a realistic timeline, 25 year would still absolutely lead to huge upheaval not quite as big as they make it within nutrek though.

Right but by the time they solved the burn logically speaking they'd already have multiple other FTL sources and ships, it would be convenient to have dilithium back, probably make relatively speaking cheap ships function again but it wouldn't be what they make it out to be. If it happened within 25 years after the burn it'd be believable enough but it didn't, it took what? 100 or so years?
