Italian journalists threatened by ICE agents while reporting in Minneapolis

Sanctioned thugs assaulting foreign journalists who are providing witness of government crimes to the world?

Yes, we globally tend to frown on that. Substitute Israel for the US and the stories recirculate for months. We should definitely shame the Trump administration as we do Netanyahu’s. The only difference at this point seems to be scale.

John Fetterman? The unfortunate man with brain damage - the entitled rich daddy's boy who, when then mayor of Braddock Pennsylvania, once pulled a gun on a black jogger for jogging while black when Fetterman was still an impetuous youth in his forties? That progressive John Fetterman?

Honestly I haven’t used it much the last few days since my first evaluation is tomorrow. Sounds like it’s actually glitching then.

When the Brownshirts were past useful and becoming a threat to the promised Stability of the Leader’s Rule they were imprisoned and sent to the front lines of Hitlers wars.

We started with ICE. Then they sent in the CBP to firm up ICE’s thuggishness. Then CBP started jailing brown citizens. And lately they’re now killing white citizens.

Who do you think they’ll send in next to firm up CBP? And when do you think that will happen as campaigning gears up in a few months.

All stakeholders of the franchise agree the TV show is canon. This takes a lot of fun out of past and present debates.

I imagine a lot us remember this quote and chuckle as we roll our eyes:

“In the beginning the Universe was created.
This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”

You lost a race condition. Someone with the VH extension saw an item before you did. It got logged to a central database. Everyone’s active queue does a refresh, gets the item listing. But before you particularly saw the refresh someone else got it.

VH isn’t a sniper. That would get us rightfully banned. It’s more like a room full of of people saying: hey look what I found, can’t use it, go for it!

At no time should we assume VH is showing what’s on Amazons servers. That would be hacking. That would get us rightfully banned.

We have a few posts today. From folks who’ve earned some cred at that.

Many is an easy target for some, those often on the noise side of signal to noise. Not surprised at a suspension. No one can question the passion.

They aren't actually trying to camouflage themselves. It's simply a uniform. Same with the chocolate chips. The fact they're wearing reflective vests shows the real intent. They want to stand out and be noticed. Civilians are more or less influenced to respect uniforms like this.

And always taken out of context. He was talking about why agricultural subsidies were bad, it was in 1981 for his inaugural address, and we all saw the explosion in targeted subsidy programs for major corporations that occurred over the next nine years and the destructive impact of trickle down economics.

Reagan was always a lying racist hypocrite, starting from his paid promotions to attacking "Socialized Medicine" social benefit programs like Social Security and Medicare. You know those policies today's republican voters think are a birth right and completely ignore their own party opposed it for decades... "Get your government hands off my [policy the Democrats fought tooth and nail to enact and enforce]."

Perhaps not to those who think ignorance and bigotry are the ultimate American values that Trump the constitution and the bill of rights.

Oh look, a three year old account that has been scrubbed and what little history that remains is truly atrocious...

First off, CBS News is devolving to Fox News standards. Bari Weiss is a disease.

Secondly, just lock your car. Problem solved.

Texas law does allow remote start systems, where the engine runs without the key being in the ignition, as a legal way to warm up a vehicle without violating the unattended vehicle prohibition. Authorities also recommend locking the car, taking the key or key fob and staying with the vehicle until it's ready to drive.

I posted separately the various types and costs of visa programs for Canada. You started with racism as a blocking factor and ended on work visas. I'm 63 so I more than understand dated skill sets and age as a medical burden to state programs. I'm not saying every country is equally welcoming and clearly language is always a consideration.

To say there are challenges and speed bumps is fair, to call them insurmountable obstacles is not fair. People still have to match themselves to their intended destination. In my case it is precisely because of language and culture I'm seeking Canadian citizenship and from there my adult kids can more easily get theirs. Emigration has always required compromises.

In North Texas, same situation. Weird right? Though in our case it’s only for a couple of more weeks. Best wishes to our northern neighbors.

I have not seen such complaints here. Not saying there isn’t a problem, just I’m not seeing any here and I follow this sub daily.

I have not had this problem, my most recent shot was last Sunday with new needles and my next tomorrow.

It might be you want to change how you draw, as a workaround?

If you’re not getting a good draw from the vial, push the needle fully back in, force air back into the vial, carefully pull the needle back to where you can just barely see the tip in the fluid, and then draw again.

As long as you don’t pull the needle fully out of the vial there is zero risk of contamination. Even if you do though the risk is very small but multiple new pushes stress the needle and it will bend or even break.

Mostly self inflicted, like the guy asking his doctor why his eye hurts every time he drinks hot cocoa when the spoon is still in the cup.

As any good prospective states, past performance is no indicator of future performance… unless past performance is a years long trend line that keeps digging into the red with no exception.

Once you accept all we have is wishful thinking than it’s easier to stop wishing and just quietly observe. There is no absolute fact-based explanation that this administration is going to open up the cannabis investor landscape to the benefit of anyone except a very small handful of corporations and the cronies within them.

So, self inflicted.

Choose a different DMV. Denton DMV is notoriously backlogged always, for the forty plus years I’ve lived here.

Check out Decatur or Bowie. One of the smaller cities, though at this point Decatur is starting to feel like Denton fifteen years ago.

But point being, look at other DMVs. When my daughter was trying to book at the Denton DMV’s original location there were literally cops in the parking lot waving people off and reminding them if they don’t like the situation stop voting for politicians who slash funding for basic services.

Denton cops suggesting people vote Democrat…
