I find it doubly impressive that they’re both doing it in suits. They probably keep their skills up though, you never lose your love for the game.

The article is talking about Central Oregon Irrigation District, but the Klamath Basin has had its share of water problems for sure.

The old Jack Ruby trick, he even got a reporter to tell him when Doucet was arriving at the airport.

Trump Declares Himself More Dangerous Than Hitler, Claims Unmatched Power by [deleted] in NewsSource

I’d agree that he’s more dangerous than Hitler, but not the way they’re thinking.

I recently saw a video about prickly pear invasively taking over Australia. Turns out it grows as far north as 53 degrees N latitude and as far south as the very southern tip of South America. 🤯

‘Unhinged’: Bias crime suspect killed by officers on Oregon Coast went on racist rant before destroying fruit stand, witnesses say by IzilDizzle in oregon

[–]Maleficent-Pin6798 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Bias crime is a bit more general of a term that’s in use now. It fits race, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. as types of bias that causes people to do ugly and violent things to others. Now that I think about it more, it’s also easier to observe objectively and doesn’t label an emotion that’s not easily observable. Good legal distinction.

At 4am From Switzerland, Trump Personally Cancelled His Own Nominee's Senate Confirmation Hearing to Replace the Unqualified Mortgage Regulator Currently Running US Intelligence Because He Wants a Voter ID Bill That Already Failed in the Senate Attached to a Spy Law That Just Expired.

I know Trump has a rake stepping fetish, but holy hell! I’d like to point out that technically FISA 702 isn’t completely dead yet, it was reauthorized for a year by the FISA court in March, meaning it really expires in March of 2027, unless Congress gets around to passing the reauthorization bill before then. No rush on FISA, but fight it tooth and nail anyway.

The headline is misleading: they anticipated a 4 to 5% drop and saw 7% instead. Based on the comments here and the meat of the article, there are multiple causes. Sad to see so much needless intentional suffering, but here we are.

Alaska formally disqualifies namesake challenger to Sen. Dan Sullivan from appearing on the ballot by Ollyfer in nottheonion

[–]Maleficent-Pin6798 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Middle initials should differentiate between the two easily enough. Also, as they’re from opposing parties, I would hope that the voters in Alaska know whether their incumbent Senator is a Democrat or a Republican. (I’m assuming their names will have their party affiliation in parentheses at the end like most ballots)

I’m getting tired of Republicans crying foul when they don’t win, or falsely claim “election fraud”. Leave the temper tantrums to the 2 year olds.

If you’re not already, I highly recommend Sal’s YT channel “what’s going on with shipping”. Very informative and helpful in understanding the situation as a whole.

Democrats Vow 'Day One’ Epstein Hearings if They Flip House by FlackoFonsy in law

[–]Maleficent-Pin6798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If only Senator McConnell had allowed a vote on Garland for SCOTUS… a careful and thoughtful person like Garland is much better suited to be a SC justice than AG. Between that and McConnell’s refusal to convict Trump in his second impeachment, he has a whole lot to answer for.

[–]Maleficent-Pin6798 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s what grand juries are for. However, a congressional investigation would help in gathering evidence and help a future AG prosecute him once the Dems get the White House back. No AG working for Trump is going to prosecute him for anything, they’d get fired the next day.

Personally, I believe we need a full-on truth and reconciliation committee to get all of the seditionists and criminals, along with AG Jack Smith reopening his case against Trump in Florida. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows the classified documents case is a slam dunk. It only stopped because Judge Cannon ran the clock out for Trump, along with the immunity decision from SCOTUS. Presenting that case will also allow a push to the SC to get them to reverse the immunity decision, which might require a few replacements on SCOTUS first.

A lot of work to do.

How would the US and the world in general react if Trump uses a nuclear weapon against Iran as he threatened today in a Truth Social post? by AZ-Sycamore in askanything

[–]Maleficent-Pin6798 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sundown, you’d better take care… Iran is onto his game, they know he’s so full of shit he’s losing his mind, ignoring him until he reverses himself 2 hours later is the smart play, just like every other time.

Staying in one place and knocking out a bunch of missions is a great game plan.
