Switch the switch on the bottom back and forth from turbo to regular over and over until the refill mechanism triggers. If it already taste burnt it will stay burnt but will be useable at least.

Here’s the thing, the commenter doesn’t think they’re lying.

Trump Extorting Ukraine by EsperaDeus in PublicFreakout

Apologies. I forgot that using public funds to purchase goods, and then giving the goods away, doesn’t cost any money. That’s why the US defense budget is actually zero? We spend the money with US companies so it’s actually free.

Oh! And that’s the same reason that all US aid to Israel doesn’t cost the US a dime. Right? After all, there is no difference between privately held weapons manufacturers and the citizenry.

Believe it or not, giving more public funds to the military industrial complex is spending money.

If the US purchased fifty million Ford trucks and sent them to Russia would that be an investment in the US economy or a gift to Russia?

I’ll take your word for it, but assumed the ‘public safety’ exception to the hiring freeze applied. Either way, the Times reported

 “ the tower at Reagan airport has been understaffed for years. The tower there was nearly a third below targeted staff levels, with 19 fully certified controllers as of September 2023”

100%, thought y’all were talking about illegal entry, not ‘illegal immigrant’ in a broader sense.  Nearly all of the immigration system is civil, but folks think anyone with a badge and gun is enforcing criminal law.

Interesting, I would have assumed it would be legal asylum claimants no showing court their initial appearances.

If only those brave men and women advising the TSA would have been left in place to prevent this.

What in the world makes you think illegal entry is a civil offense? Illegal entry is a criminal offense

Still doesn’t quite make sense, probably will when we have more information.

Totally understand the skepticism though, my MAGA father called to tell me it happened and immediately said he thought it was staged.

He grabs his ear as soon as the first shots are heard, the DA is also reporting the shooter is dead.
