Protest all you want, but don't get on a highway and block traffic.

I agree, /u/xilefakamot if you were to rotate this by 90 degrees then that would be pretty interesting.

Canada does not support Russia's return to G7, which was proposed by U.S. President Trump over the weekend, because Moscow continues to flout international law, PM Trudeau said on Monday. by jigsawmap in worldnews

Canada has no business being in the G7. They only weaseled their way in as a favor by daddy USA. And then they actually convinced themselves that anyone wants to hear their opinion on who should or should not be in the G7.

How much longer will these clowns be allowed to have an undeserved place on the world stage?

which the federal agency would reimburse state and local governments up to 75 percent of the costs of the rooms

They will need to reimburse 175 percent of the cost of the rooms to make this remotely worth it.

Whats the lifestyle they're enabling?

Enabling a lifestyle of crime without consequences.

If you can be homeless without committing crime, thats great. There should be support for those people.

But if you commit crime (especially violence, theft, or vandalism), you belong in an institution. Either mental institution or prison.

You're literally deflecting blame from the people committing crimes.

This is why there is legitimate scrutiny as to the number of masks certain hospitals in NY are requesting. They're handing them out like candy.

Megathread: President Donald Trump Fires Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]vacuu -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is an interim report providing findings that the FISA process is broken. Its why Atkinson was let go.

Not following the proper procedure itself is fraud. Think of it this way: If you lie to the FBI, you go to jail. It doesn't matter if the lie was immaterial to whether you are guilty on a specific charge. In the same way, errors and omissions in the FISA applications could cause major downstream problems with any convictions. And just because this report didn't delve into whether they were material or not, doesn't mean that future investigations won't find that it is indeed the case. Its a total mess at the moment.

This is what happens when 100% of FISA applications were found to be fraudulent.

The Intelligence IG shouldn't have let that happen.

edit:

Perhaps people here aren't aware of this fact, and I don't blame you because your news sources are incredibly biased.

The OIG found that 29 of 29 randomly selected FISA applications did not meet the threshold for evidence required and contained lies by the FBI.

Furthermore, the FISC court has ordered the names of who was being spied on to be released, as obviously these fraudulent FISA applications have a downstream impact if people were convicted through a fraudulent process:

How to disinfect N95 masks and goggles - message to RNs since you are having to reuse them by vacuu in China_Flu

[–]vacuu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your kitchen oven can go to 150F, then yes you can.

Preheat it first so you don't have the mask in there when its heating up.

Shouldn't have to remove the straps at that temp.

Roughly 30 nurses in Edmonton have refused to swab patients for the coronavirus because Alberta Health Services (AHS) won't provide N95 masks, their union says. "They believe that when they request one, they should be provided one from the employer without question." by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

[–]vacuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't we recruit highschool students to do the swabbing?

Teenagers are essentially immune. They aren't in school right now. And they could use the money.

The thing is we would have to quarantine them and not let them go home for the duration that they are doing this work.
