That is too nice.

Why not assign them to work details instead?

There is plenty of work to be done with unshielded radiation sources. Think of the money we could save on CBRN/NBC suits!

Eh... While possibly true, they are not going to be in lock step on everything. And that's by design. Because there IS room for interpretation, within reason - which the liberal justices seem to have left behind long ago.

Take for example: deporting of naturalized citizens that is being discussed. I have a problem with that, somewhat. One of benefits of citizenship is, in fact, that you're subject to different laws (assault and permanently maim someone because he slept with your wife and you lost your cool? You won't be sent to your home country to rot, but you can get sent to prison here in the U.S.) However, if citizenship can be revoked for certain crimes (including but not limited to those not disclosed on their application) then revoke citizenship and THEN deport.

That way, you're not deporting citizens anymore.

Honestly though, I think the fed can probably finagle the necessary authority to deport citizens. I didn't used to think that a couple of decades ago. After September 30, 2011 my opinion changed, with the targeted killing of U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki. And don't get me wrong: he totally had it coming and the world is better off with him fragged into pink mist. Still, he should have been tried in absentia for reasons of due process.

Now that protective ship has sailed and is not the reality anymore. Republicans and democrats have both supported it. It was basically a nuclear option and we must live with both the benefits and ramifications thereof.

You know what also traditionally used in war time? Big booms.

Implosion incoming.

Teller-Ulam, Make 'um, Cry!

Ulam-Teller, Helter Skelter, Why?

Dirty, Clean, Cobalt Salted, Lie?

Pure Fission, Boosted Fusion, Oh Mai!

Plutonium cards, Nuclear dice? Sky?

Nope. Straight as George Takai.

I mean... I get it but at the same time due process is what separates 'us' from 'them' - in that, we'll give them due process even if they wouldn't for us.

Violate a law in Venezuela as a tourist? You might get due process. Or you might get deported. You might could end up routing on a Caracas jail for an indefinite period of time.

The guy from Japan that got in a bar fight and assaulted someone? The Canadian with the DUI? The Irishman being served a subpoena?

Due process.

Terrorists? War time crimes?

Drumhead trials all around.

It's what helps define our civilization from the unwashed heathens.

Eventually you 'owe' the government more than you earn. But they are nice enough to giveth thee vouchers or chits for food, gas, housing, etc.

Because it didn't matter that you were good with money. A bunch of people weren't so you have to pay for them too. You aren't special. You do not deserve more than someone else just because you work harder, smarter, and more responsible...🤷

Communism starts little. That shit is insidious.

In fairness, I forgot to add a /s (sarcasm) tag, so my sincere apologies.

That being said, would it surprise me if NASA secretly sent astronauts to the moon, succeeding after numerous failures, prior to '69, and then legit sent more in 1969 and told the world it was the first time?

Not at all.

It'd be like the supposed red mercury. "we got to the moon, it's easy!" we tell the world, not mentioning numerous tragedies it took us to get there. Meanwhile, the USSR be like "the Americans did it on their first attempt, what's our problem?". Watch em waste resources on something that they think we did easily, when in fact it was very hard for us.

We do it with stuff all the time. We don't say, "we have a new bomber" when we rent don't. Instead, we say, "we have no new bomber" while we test fly the F117 fire a decade prior to reveal.

So do I think the moon really went down that way? NO. Would I be shocked if I learned it did? NO.

Hahaha.

'First' Moon landing was faked - because we were already there!

The footage really IS from the moon, but the 'landing' was recreated to make it seem like we had just arrived. 😁

OMG, AI will kill us in 10 years!

To paraphrase lord of war: Why worry about something that can kill you in ten years, when there are so many things that can kill you today?

They've aided US travel industry profits by encouraging 'Holy Land' tours.

But that's literally all I can think of.

Every American who was age 5 or older when Kennedy was killed remembers exactly where they were that day, unless they have full blown dementia. Sometimes even then.

I know. It's one of my favorite things to ask them.

My take: they found a solution to the Ukraine problem within the first 17 minutes, and have spent the remaining time swapping golf tips, equestrian techniques, and cracking jokes and the cabal and the deep state.

Trump: and then I said we'll get Greenland.

Putin: surely they don't take you seriously?

Trump: they do take me serious, and don't call me shirley

Putin: lol

Trump: lol.

Putin: so, about the de-escalation time frame... ?

Trump: deez nuts have a time frame

Putin: respectfully, fuck you Mr. PRESIDENT

Trump: kek

Putin: kek

Trump: sorry vlad

Putin: so, how is Biden?

Trump: how's your mum

Putin: dead and buried

Trump: that's funny so is he.

Putin: I thought he was only dead inside..

Trump: Intel inside. Programming. Salute the marine...

Putin: I shoulda nuked him tbh

Trump: we got him first.

Putin: lol

Trump: lol
