I suspect the short prison sentence is because he flipped on the people above him.

Just a reminder: on the day tweets were claiming the gallow was brought into DC by one of the vehicles in Alex Jones' motorcade.

We need to be clear here: Mike Pence was going to be assassinated on January 6th.

Isn't this movie like 17 years old?

About 10 years ago it was probably closer to 80% IPAs. It was a big joke here that IPA stands for I Pretend (I'm not an) Alcoholic.

The only reason there is more on the market now is because we all stopped pretending the taste of motor oil with grapefruit gave us a better buzz.

Even now, most breweries will only seem to offer 4 varieties of IPAs, a pilsner/lager and a stout. Maybe an Amber but I feel the Mac & Jack's copycat scene has mostly died out now.

I really don't know about that. It's a $20,000 camera probably, but there is a good chance the rig itself is likely 10 years old, so the lens is likely the only thing they could make a few hundred off of, but that isn't enough for a 3 man job.

I suspect robbing a journalist and taking their camera is to make their name known. They probably ditched the camera pretty close to immediately.

From the government's perspective? There is often value in releasing the person. They almost never realize their phone lines are tapped and the first thing they do is run to their friends and start incriminating them further.

There is often the issue that these right wing cells are without their knowledge governmental "stay behind" cells who are operating somewhat under the jurisdiction of factions of the US government who are legally barred from operating clandestine missions on US borders.

In terms of the Proud Boys, their leader is a journalist who was officially on the Canadian pay roll before they became a fascist paramilitary leader. Seeing that immigrants who are members of political extremist groups are barred from having permanent residence in the US, while registered spies are not. These are things we have to speculate on, unfortunately.

"I read an essay by a christian a while ago that pointed out that the separation of church and state wasn’t about protecting the state from religion - it was about protecting religion from the state."

Without knowing the author or their reasons for saying that, I would say that they have it wrong entirely. The majority of governments before the US almost always had some level of theocracy attached to it. We took our independence from a man who quite literally was pretending to be God's representative on earth.

Within that context, its very hard to see the constitution as intending anything other than a full divorce between politics and religion.

Its complicated, because he did stop it. He also immediately took notes and immediately told others about the conversations, actions which clearly paint him as somebody fully versed in the processes of establishing cooperation with law enforcement on an informer basis.

It is also arguable that the entire insurrection that day was a cover to specifically murder Mike Pence on the Capitol steps. There was day of chatter that the gallow was brought into the city in one of the vehicles in Alex Jones' caravan. We know that with the charging of Donald Trump, Alex Jones is now essentially the only conspirator of Jan. 6 who remains charge free.

Whatever we think of Mike Pence, our country still existing might have solely rested in his hands and it appears he did the right thing in the way he knew how. He saved his life. He saved his family's life. He saved his country.

I dont think that is the ass, I think its a cancer mass.

Either way, great day to not eat animals.

Dude, you are never going to be in their club.

Google isn't getting into the hotel industry to help out an overburdened housing market. This is solely designed to make their immigrant workers more reliant on the company than they already are, while creating a legal loophole to pay them less than the agreed upon rate.

It also suggests they intend to up the usage of immigrant workers, which will further displace the local housing situation and likely further rise homelessness within the county (and I imagine a rise in white supremacist thinking and action in response.

This isn't rational on Google's part, this is a potential human rights crisis in the making that we really need to speak out against. 21St century company towns will not be different from 1800s company towns in any true meaningful way.

When we poach the top talent from other countries by selling them on the American dream, we can't bring them here to have them be an invisible class fully dependent on private corporations. We have to actually let them have the American dream we sold to them.

I agree with the other user who said this a terrible take.

Biden is who the Democratic party selected overwhelmingly (to my chagrin) and there is nobody who can beat him in a primary (the person who theoretically could already lost before, and immediately endorsed Biden this time around).

It also makes no sense to take out the guy we know will beat Trump.

McCarthy wasn't wrong?

Did your pawpaw force you to read John Birch pamphlets as a child or did you come to this strange belief in adulthoold, without being groomed into it?
