Nope, Corey is out of the house now too.

There might not have been OPENLY, but I highly doubt a group that literally refers to detained illegal migrants as "tonks" for the sound a flashlight makes hitting a human skull in its official documentation, mind you was not already happy to recruit open white supremacists.

Also no way to enforce. DOJ won't bother and they know it.

Overdose on Benadryl like a responsible person.

Russia nukes Kyiv, China nukes Taiwan, North Korea (assuming delivery capabilities) nukes Seoul, India probably drops nukes on China and Pakistan, etc. It's the actual Domino Theory people were talking about during the Cold War, they just thought the domino was communism. Once the bandaid gets ripped off and nuclear weapons are an accepted and normalized tool of conventional war, they're now EVERYONE'S first resort.

No no, Trump said it "would take time", which is Mafia speak for "yeah you ain't getting a cent".

The issue is that we've been looking at these people as misguided idiots rather than the thugs that ICE/CBP always were. They're acting exactly as we should expect, except now they've got an admin backing them to the hilt on literally anything and everything they do.

When you have a structure that's been BUILT out of rotted wood, you can't just replace the most obvious rot and call it good.

Nah, if we're comparing them to feudal failsons, these are the sorts of kids that nobles would send off to become monks. They wouldn't be any good at ruling effectively or really doing much, but they'd be in a monastery and out of the way.

I think autocorrect made Gareth from Garak.

And likely fiscally. Did anyone check if a bunch of senators bought defense stocks?

You would be extremely surprised. Car maintenance is expensive, and lack of inspection very often leads to people driving vehicles that should have been off the road years ago simply because a lot of states that axe it, axe inspections because they're expensive for the driver (a lot of these states are in the former Steel Belt). In better-off areas or places where people have more time/money/equipment/space to wrench on cars, then yes, but here in my city, I definitely have seen cars where the entire frame is basically being held together by Bondo and prayer, cars where they're running on 4 spares, cars where enormous sections of the body paneling are just gone. I've nearly been hit by people who clearly relied on yearly inspections to tell them "hey your brakes are failing" because they drive on autopilot and just adjust how they drive to accommodate failing/failed brakes.

In fact, I suspect maintenance costs are HIGHER in areas without inspection, because shops could rely on that regular-ish influx of cash even if it was only like $50-$100 a vehicle, AND you have the customer in the shop, so it's easier to go "hey you really need brakes, it'll cost you an extra $200 and take an extra hour or two".
