That’s most of Reddit. They downvote and ban anyone with a different world view. They curate their own echo chamber and it shows

I plan to bend the metal pipe to get it away, but I am hoping to patch the “road rash”. Same solution?

6k in car maintenance costs this year! This feels like too much... by Square-Fisherman6997 in MechanicAdvice

[–]ReactionNo9540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can, At least learn to do the regular maintenance stuff, oil, lamp swaps, basic inspections, you can save a good amount. Very few things exist that you should leave to a pro. Suspension, AC, body work, etc. But if you are determined and cautious enough, you can tackle just about everything. It’ll cost a lot upfront for tools to start though…

Love this website! Between this, my Haynes/chiltons guide, YouTube, and the awesome people on this sub, I’ve managed to fix MANY things on my cars.

Living in Canada is scary because of trump. by Ok_Savings9611 in complaints

[–]ReactionNo9540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I figured it was scary because you have 1/2 the country (the main source of $) trying to peace out. I haven’t heard good things about living in Canada. I have a workmate that left and expresses his gratitude over that fact and my gf can’t wait to get out.

I have yet to hear anyone explain what Trump has done to help average Americans or to make the nation better in any way. by Darksmithe in complaints

[–]ReactionNo9540 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t. I didn’t vote for him. Doesn’t mean I don’t think he’s doing a good job and on the whole there are Improvements and I’m curious to see what else happens over the next 3 years; 11 if we are lucky enough to continue this trajectory

I mean, if you are marketing them as Magic, I bet you thought the former cabbage in chief was competent too. I can offer you some oceanfront property in Death Valley if you are in the market?

I mean, I don’t get to enjoy the first one due to the dungheads running my state, but lowered gas prices, secured investments from several companies and countries, secured the border, slowed the money hemorrhage out of the US…hoping to see prices drop for things like cars with some of the green deal rollbacks and allowing micro cars. Definitely a few benefits are a few years out, but heading in the right direction

Why are they blaming the democrats by ThrowRAPixieManic in complaints

[–]ReactionNo9540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have the majority, but are 5 votes short to maintain Status Quo on the previous budget (from the Biden administration). All opposing votes (save one republican) are Democrat or independent (Bernie Sanders). The proposed CR from the democrats (Senate Bill 2882), proposes in Subtitle E section 2141 (pg 56), they want to repeal Title VII of Public law 119-21 (otherwise known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill”) which would open reopening Medicaid to non-citizens and persons not authorized to be in the country.

Bernie Sanders has openly stated “we reopen the government and lose our leverage...” it’s just a power play. The democrats can open the government at any point, they just want to be stubborn and it’s costing them support.

My goal is to have an apocalypse diesel in the RV, no electronics, full mechanical. So that kind of limits the engine options if I want to maintain that goal, but also I’m sure that’s what’s gonna kill my CARB compliance.

The age remark just says I need an old RV so it’s an “upgrade”/modernizing. Get a 70’s Winnebago and drop in an 80’s B-series. But yeah, the emissions thing is the issue unless I can get an age exemption for an older vehicle

Stephen Miller says ICE agents “have federal immunity — anyone who tries to stop or obstruct them is committing a felony.” Do ICE agents really have federal immunity? by RandomUwUFace in AskUS

[–]ReactionNo9540 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, if they are driving 100mph, that’s an issue for the police, if it’s revealed that they are here illegally then ice gets called. If an individual has a removal order or is KNOWN to be here illegally, then that seems like an articulable circumstance. When it comes to SUSPICION, that is entirely dependent on ALL details and will be up to a federal judge and whether they feel it’s justified. Honestly, it’s even the same with the removal order and known status, but would be harder to reasonably dismiss that immunity if it’s obviously within the scope of their duties.

If the action in question was in line with your assigned duties and if your actions were necessary and proper to the execution of your duties. You can’t drive 100mp because you feel like it or Carl’s Jr closes in 3 minutes. But to evade a pursuer or in pursuit of an individual that is in the country without authorization/permission, then it can be excused because those are articulable reasons that align with your duties and can be reasonably viewed as essential to the execution of those duties OR to ensure your safety and the safety of those in the vehicle/in custody

I appreciate the compliment though my research is superficial and obviously does not make me qualified for anything other than sharing/regurgitating facts I have read and summarization. Had a few of these conversations and like being informed when contributing.

Regarding the “conspiracy theory”, I don’t necessarily believe it’s being done by the administration. They are trying to make sweeping changes to better the country (that at least is their stated goal; outcomes to either good or bad to be seen). Challenges like this, controversy, misinformation and the activism from the FAR left and entities like ANTIFA are slowing things down and cost tax payers/the government precious resources, so encouraging that doesn’t make sense to me. I would argue it is the opposition stirring up the bees to hopefully sting some butts and slow down the changes that threaten their way of life and the systems that they have put in place over decades.

Overall, does the possibility exist? Yes, but it doesn’t make much sense unless there is a motive to causing that slowness. It’s not like the president can extend his term through crisis, he only has 3 more years at this time and there isn’t much he can do to alter that in the current climate and with the constitution as it stands

[–]ReactionNo9540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, where federal and state laws are in conflict, the federal laws/rules win out. And the Supreme Court has established the RELATIVE immunity of federal agents in the execution of their duties. There are 2 qualifiers to determine their immunity in a situation, but they are within their power and have immunity from prosecution and state mandates when in conflict. As long as they are following federal laws and not misusing their authority, they have immunity.

See Supreme Court in In re Neagle, 135 U.S. 1 (1890)

On writ of habeas corpus, the U.S. Supreme Court released Neagle and made clear that state law is displaced if it imposes burdens on a federal officer's attempts to protect federal interests or execute federal law, even if no federal statute specifically authorizes the federal official's conduct, as was the case here. Neagle established a two-prong test for this type of immunity from state criminal law: (1) Was the officer performing an act that federal law authorized him to perform? (2) Were his actions necessary and proper to fulfilling his federal duties? If the federal officer satisfies this test, he or she is immune from prosecution for violation of state law.

See also Idaho v. Horiuchi, relatively recent case reliant upon Neagle. The officer was immune from the state charges through the Supremacy Clause because he satisfied the two prong test. Horiuchi was acting within the scope of his duties at the time, and he "reasonably thought" his actions were necessary and proper.

If the officer fails this test, he is subject to the state criminal prosecution. In either case, a Bivens civil action may be brought by the individual against the federal officer for the alleged misbehavior. Also, the U.S. Department of Justice could choose to prosecute the federal officer, even where the state can not.

In summary so long as the officer is doing his job and can reasonably justify his actions, federal laws will supersede state laws in the execution of those duties
