I think even if we take them at their word, and there really was a drone that went over the border and this closure was due to new anti-drone tech posing risks to other traffic, it is clear that the tech isnt ready, since it can’t tell the difference between a drone and a commercial airliner.
I wonder if this is some shit tech from Elon that doesn’t work as advertised…
Did you read the articles attached to the headlines?
They found that ski jumpers can get a measurable advantage if thier suits are loose fitting even a little bit, because it increases drag. As a result, their suits are carefully regulated and they are made based on a full body 3D scan.
It’s been speculated that some ski jumpers may have been taking injections meant to increase the size of their flaccid penis before that scan, so that the larger size will be included in the scan, and then if they are back to normal size before the competition, it has the effect of their suit fitting more loosely and increasing drag.
It is a specific town with a specific army base that has a specific ICE detention center on its grounds…
Sorry, posts here need to link to articles, so this will probably end up getting removed . And besides, that’s not the cartoon Stephen takes his inspiration from
Yeah, he was the guy who kept singing about how he likes 'em underage, right?
… Wait, no? That was the other guy? Why isn’t Andy Ogles looking into that, instead?
(We all know why. Not only were those female dancers hot, they looked like they were having a great time, and Republicans can’t have that…)
Except it’s a Democrat doing it, so nothing will happen
How can you show you’re not an immigrant without due process?
You, sir, are intelligent. These guys are not. The only want people who will never tell them “no”.
It’s because the people who run ICE won’t ask silly questions like “Is this job within the scope of my department’s mission?” Or “Are there other agencies that are better equipped to do this”.
Or even “Is what Donald Trump asking me us to do legal?”.
They just do what the Boss says.
But arent there other Federal agencies that can provide security, like the Secret Service?
Having ICE involved in this thing that is so far out of its mission kind of proves the point that ICE is really Trump’s private army, doesn’t it?
The article was quite clear that they were told by a particular someone in the “Republican Establishment”, which right now is a subsidiary of Trump.
No, they don’t need to be told to hold the partisan line, but I wouldn’t put it past Trump (or even Stephen Miller) to treat them like employees. Which must be a bit humiliating for a Member of Congress…
Instructed by whom, exactly? The article doesn’t say. It just says “a source in the Republican establishment”. That could be anyone.
My money is on Stephen Miller. It sounds like a thing he would say…
As I recall, though, the Harris campaign raised a shitton of money. What good did it all do? A huge war chest is no guarantee of anything.
Getting out votes always beats fundraising. If you can vote in the US, don’t let anything stop you. (Particularly doomers on Lemmy, hah!) If you have a friend who can’t get to the polls, help them.
"The DHS Inspector General first realized this when he overheard Noem refer to him several times as ‘Cricket’. "
~(not a real quote)~
That’s the rub: that whole time everyone thought he was a business titan? He wasn’t really rich at all. Not only are real estate ventures heavily leverages to begin with, but he also ran his businesses into the ground by grifting money out of them. When the E. Jean Carroll verdict came in, there was a very real chance he would not have been able to meet it without significant pain.
However, since then, he found his Crypto religion, and then once he won the Presidency the second time, he has been inviting right foreign interests to bribe him through Crypto. So he is actually rich now, based solely on selling influence via meme tokens.
He literally faked it until he made it. And needed two tries to get it right. No wonder he also needs to grift his name into existing things.
You just don’t understand, what choice did they have? The only other choice was a lady!
Um Ackshually, he doesn’t seem to be taking in big $, at least according to his financial disclosures (PDF). Most recent estimates of his net worth are in the $7 million range, but that also counts his house in Park Slope, which is probably worth over $3mil now but I doubt he paid that. And a bunch more is in his retirement account. He’s not struggling by any means, but he doesn’t have “Fuck You” money like Elon has.
There are a lot of memes going around about how rich some of these politicians are but they are mostly fake
It’s too bad Penn only has 21 tracks, I could see them naming Track 34 for him
Republicans have decided they don’t care if the President overstep his authority anymore, as long as it hurts people they hate. A category which includes Palestinians, I guess.
It’s always the ones you most expect
