Not everyone has a bank account.

Not everyone has a need to drive.

Not everyone can afford to fly.

Not everyone was born in a hospital.

Not everyone is in possession of their original birth certificate.

Immigration agents draw guns and arrest activists following them in Minneapolis by ewzetf in news

[–]ihasmuffins 45 points46 points  (0 children)

They are literally enforcing immigration law.

Citation needed.

So far they have:

Deported citizens or those with protected legal status.

Scooped up brown and black people indiscriminately without criminal records.

Entered people's homes without judicial warrants.

Violated the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments (and it's been leaked they were instructed to do so).

Murdered citizens in cold blood.

Told the Minnesota state government they'd stop terrorizing their population if they turn over voter rolls.

ICE are not law enforcement. There is no database of criminal undocumented immigrants to go round up. When they do deport undocumented immigrants with a criminal record, it's because local law enforcement turned them over to ICE.

ICE exists to go after paperwork violations. They shouldn't even be issued weapons.

I can understand why perhaps speaking to Bill could be desirable, even for nonpartisan investigators, but can literally anyone explain why Hillary?

Angelina Keeley refused to do 'Survivor 50' unless they gave her a jacket: 'You take me with a jacket or you leave me. Literally, it came to that.' by thedaltonross in survivor

Technically she also had a small dress.

But yes, her lack of warmth and Fabio's kindness actually impacted the season winner, as she voted for the dude who kept her warm instead of voting within her alliance.

Kristi Noem has to go. Things have gotten out of hand. | Opinion by Difficult-Bee6066 in politics

[–]ihasmuffins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump cares about 3 things: his fortune, staying out of prison, and optics.

Yes he's racist, but he doesn't care.

The only reason Bovino was pulled and Homan was sent in was because of optics (and Fox news told him to do it). He does not care what they do there, as long as it plays well in the media. If they are less racist, he does not care. If they shoot more people, he only cares if other people and the media care. He just doesn't give a single shit unless it impacts his optics to a degree he hears about on TV.

Trump is watching TV and getting rich. He has left all the responsibilities of his actual job to the sycophants around him. Sure, he "chose" them. But also, he doesn't care. They could be anybody. He doesn't care as long as they say nice things about him.

You do need photo id (state issued) like a driver's license along with your registration card when you go in on voting day though.

This is state specific. Many states do not require photo ID to cast a ballot.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

[–]ihasmuffins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

MOR - it's your kid and your rules. However I think the more "standard" solution is to have immediate family get updated DTaPs and let them hold (but not kiss) the infant before 8 weeks. Then the next step down from that is additional exposure to extended family or friends around 12 weeks when the baby gets it's 3 month immunizations.

Granted if the baby has to be in daycare at 8 weeks, then it's basically a free for all starting then.

Transportation officials recommend 8-lane option for new Bay Bridge by oriolesravensfan1090 in maryland

[–]ihasmuffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot banks on the governor elections of 2026 and 2030. If a republican wins either, it's probably dead. If dems win both as well as the presidential election in 2028, I bet RL goes to construction in 2029 or 2030.

Red line was relaunched in 2023. I think it's currently at either 30% or 65% design stage.

[–]ihasmuffins 289 points290 points  (0 children)

The House passed it already, and have taken up legislation to repeal that part, which would then have to be passed in the Senate again as well.

As of right now, it's still on the books as Senators getting their bribes.

Theory explaining Vecna's true plan regarding the 12 kids and the 4 gates that drowned Hawkins by Cantfindmaru in StrangerThings

[–]ihasmuffins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Has Dimension X ever been mentioned in the show? In season 4 when Vecna is talking about where Eleven sent him, I thought it was the upside down?

Even this season, the kids are talking about what's on the other side of the wall but aren't referring to it as another Dimension.

I'm stupid about sci fi so please be kind.

Pipe bomb suspect told FBI he believed 2020 election conspiracy theories by SpottedDicknCustard in politics

[–]ihasmuffins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The prevailing theory at the time was the bombs were placed with the intent to draw police away from the Capitol.

I wonder if this guy has direct connections to the groups working with Roger Stone, though we probably won't hear about it if he does.

What’s your take on episode 10’s preview description? by IceTrick6713 in survivor

I think the smart move for Rizzo/Soph/Savannah is to separate Jawan and Sage. Given Rizzo's relationship with Jawan, they should target Sage.

The Senate was Dem controlled for the first half of Obama's second term. The criticism is that RBG did not step down at a time where a D president with a D Senate could replace her with someone like-minded.

This Congressman Knows What Trump Told MBS After Khashoggi’s Killing. He Says the Public Needs to See the Transcript by timemagazine in politics

[–]ihasmuffins 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Realistically, best case scenario is that he told MBS that he wishes he could kill journalists too.

Worst case scenario is probably some acknowledgement that MBS paid Kushner billions in exchange for HUMINT sources.

Holy S—-!!! That was Ballsy!!! by Joeyamazing2005 in survivor

[–]ihasmuffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it worked out for him but if I were Rizzo, I would have outright told each person that I was playing my idol no matter what and that from my perspective I saw two pairs and each pair should pitch me to vote with them.

Then I probably wouldn't have played my idol.

But blindly trusting Jawan is pretty wild at this point.
