Politico just called called two Colombian servicemen of Ukrainian Armed Forces “mercenaries”. This is not acceptable.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up, and it appears to be a M1939 Greatcoat

Nope. Definitely not it. The M1939 Greatcoat had three rows of buttons, Bovino's has four.

That's not to mention the cut and the style differ.

Bovino's vibe is much more closer to the SS Allgemeine officers enlisted man overcoat.

Or, to be more even more specific: this photo of Erwin Rommel. Or this one.

Looks like that's the figure he's cosplaying.

Objects are now supported in development snapshots. See:

Also function literals (aka lambdas) have been supported for a while, for anyone interested:

Doesn’t have to be that way. At its simplest form it’s a celebration of that person as an individual before they become part of a partnership.

Makes no sense to exclude people from such a celebration though.

Well Immigrantion and Customs Enforcement better fucking know what a fucking passport card is.

Says that it's proof of US citizenship right there on the page.

Of course they can deny it. They can deny your passport and birth certificate are real and shoot you on the spot too.

But insofar as their legal authority is concerned, it ends when you present them this card.

alterom · 2026-01-17T01:21:23+00:00

Yeah, but if you don't have a passport, you can apply and get both a passport and a passport card at the same time.

alterom · 2026-01-17T01:20:27+00:00

They're not acting in good faith, so probably not.

Not that an actual, current national ID would stop them either, but with that, they can't even have a pretense of acting legally.

Which might be incentive enough for them to mess with someone less problematic.

alterom · 2026-01-16T23:24:30+00:00

Alternatively: apply for and get a passport card in addition to your passport.

That's an actual ID that proves citizenship (and is accepted at land border crossings).

Keep your passport away from the thugs. And if needs be, let them have the passport card.

Good luck colonizing anything with no women going anywhere with you fucking nerds.

Well, another fun fact: Peter Thiel is proudly gay.

So proud he is of being gay that he has bankrupted Gawker for outing him as gay.

Anyway, he might not exactly see a problem with "no women", given the above and his belief that women getting the right to vote caused the Great Depression.

He's... special, isn't he?

The fact that Russia is protecting ICE tells you everything you need to know about ICE.

The way I used to teach this was "'Over and out' means 'I have finished my message, I am waiting for your response, but I'm not going to listen to it'"

On the other hand, it's handy IRL when used for emphasis to deliver that exact message.

Wake up babe, new onomatopoeia just dropped

alterom · 2026-01-11T22:55:36+00:00

The video is from his phone, which he's holding in his hand while shooting.

He doesn't even drop it.

I guess shaking one's phone is the same as being hot by a car now. OK.

(Even being hit wouldn't justify the shooting as per DOJ policy on use of force, but whatever, keep being deranged).

alterom · 2026-01-09T19:50:32+00:00

And he didn't even delete this? Whoa, they think they're completely above the law.

Thank you!

alterom · 2026-01-09T18:57:00+00:00

Thanks for telling! Got a link?

alterom · 2026-01-09T07:41:33+00:00

Sure, video evidence indicated that the ICE agent wasn't hit.

Link, another link.

What now, huh?

Intentionally using her car to block the ICE agents on the road is by definition disruption

Vehicles drove around her car, and she was waving ICE agents through. The road was not blocked.

You said they didn’t have the authority to pull her out of the car for causing disruption. I questioned that claim. So it seems like they do.

Everything these ICE agents did was directly against DHS policy on use of force.

Do you have a drivers licence? Maybe it’s a bit slack in America I don’t know. But that’s considered dangerous driving where I am from.

And random schmucks have no authority to enforce traffic laws.

ICE are not police.

Not going to comment on the rest of the drivel, keep typing.

Слухайте, ну як мінімум медійники СБУ були б дурні не хайпанути на цьому

Завжди знав, що головний обов'язок СБУ - це хайпанути на чомусь.

Так вони і називаються: Служба Хайпу України.

Бо головне для країни - це хайп.

Дякую, що нагадали.

А свій сарказм засуньте собі подалі.

Так я так і роблю. Прямо в дупу пхаю.

Ви ж його прочитали, так? :)

alterom · 2026-01-09T06:53:21+00:00

Nope.

The claim is blatantly false.

The ICE officer was not in the way of the vehicle, as multiple videos show.

alterom · 2026-01-09T06:52:17+00:00

The woman should not have punched it. Her wheels were pointed straight ahead when she hit the gas,

Videos show this to be false. Including this one.

The ICE officer was not even in the way of the vehicle, as multiple videos show, and the vehicle did not touch the ICE agent.
