I'm old enough to remember when the term 'homeland security' was too fashy-sounding to be taken seriously. We were fine without ICE, and weirdly enough, creating it hasn't solved anything- if anything, the lies they tell to justify doing it more and harder have gotten more and more absurd.
Probably capsaicin
They don't have to. They just interfere in our politics
Not only do we not respect it, we hate it with the heat of a thousand suns
Yep. When the 'resistance' grand plans are to adopt the fascist framing (e.g. that 'woke is weak' and should be surrendered) what's the point in having an opposition party?
This is actually an area that's developing quite quickly. In 2023, California managed to put almost 14mw worth of storage on the grid; if they keep building out at that rate, peaky/transient power sources like wind and solar will have someplace to park until someone needs that energy. Almost 12mw of that was utility storage; it's like the utilities have the chance to get out of the business of producing power themselves and into the role of renting storage (or buying surplus energy then selling it later when it's needed)
Granted, 14mw isn't a lot in the scale of California, but the rate of growth in grid-storage over time is humongous
It's as if they all think that they'll be rewarded for their loyalty to him.
It's pretty okay. Lots of engagement, also there's something of a 'block early and often' culture that seems to have a way of really reducing the drama and nonsense
Yeah I still can't get over how a couple of days later his right ear didn't have a mark on it. At his age, even with the best of plastic surgery, he wouldn't have clean skin on an ear for at least a week if he'd actually had a bullet pass through any part of it. I don't believe things he has to say about his health- he has a pretty solid track record when it comes to not telling the truth about his height, weight, bone spurs, being a stable genius, etc
Ahhh, the "continental shelf" toilet
Assault? Felony assault? For glitter?
Oh, yeah, glitter is a pain to clean up and the inconvenience involved can for sure be considered when weighing the liabilities involved, but the idea that he was in danger of any real harm is going to be a high bar to meet in court- almost certainly the charge is trumped-up to produce a chilling effect.
Rhetorically it's clever, sure, but effectively it amounts to demanding unconditional surrender or else they'll continue to lose until demands are met
