It's funny, because alabama (or maybe a part of it?) has (had?) the highest density of Ph.D.s in the country because of research and government (I think a NASA facility). I wonder, with our current bullshit about research funding and our government's anti-truth approach to things that don't make companies money, if there is already a notable reduction in educated folks in these already education-barren locations.
But a Marine in bargain-bin decade-old hardware will absolutely walk straight up the barrel of a “less-lethal” loaded rifle and physically manhandle the cop in luxury fascist tech who thinks <40 hours of range time means they’re ready for combat.
You're letting your fantasies escape through your skull holes, comrade. The military is going to point their guns, just as the cops next to them will be, at the people protesting the kidnapping of their neighbors by the gestapo.
My first thought was that the comic was intentionally riffing on death's door, where you have a raven/crow/black bird (oh god, unidan's coming!) collecting souls.
I just want to know the evidence for the motorcycles. Is it really a "stockpile" of them, or is he a rich bitch and likes motorcycles like jay leno likes cars?
Traffic tickets blur the line between the civil/criminal courts. Especially in my state, where both speeding and the lowest level of assault will put you before the same judge. Since the lowest criminal charges don't carry potential for jail time, even in the effect they have it's difficult to tease out their differences.
If it's the average western diet, it's probably from the massive amount of toilet paper that was used to clean the asshole after their failure to use a bidet.
The european death knot usually works pretty well. Or you could use a weaver's knot, but it's not as bulky. The 'overhand' family of knots is a pretty good bet for whenever you want a knot that absolutely will not come untied under tension.
Closest analogous conflicts I could imagine would be when the us bombed eastern europe. Urban areas would be bereft of food and incoming supplies, rural areas would be bereft of most foods and incoming supplies, and everyone devolves into roving gangs and desperate attempts to fortify an area of 'trusted' neighbors.
Reading the first hand accounts of what people went through is enough to make me horrified whenever anyone talks about the possibility of a civil war with glee. They don't have the imagination or the knowledge to comprehend what neighbor vs. neighbor really looks like.
The worst part is, the media DID cover it. The big lads may not have, but there were plenty of articles, photos, videos, blogs, and people talking about all of those to have woken up anyone with a conscience. It just turns out that it may be easier than anyone thought to have people turn off their conscience.
They still need FEDERAL judges to even bring an indictment, WITH EVIDENCE OF A CRIME, in order to get a warrant, and then maybe arrest somebody.
Federal Judges absolutely hate having their time wasted, and this DOJ has done nothing but waste their time
Judges DO NOT have to keep wasting their time with the DOJ requesting indictments if they continue to prove in court that are acting in bad faith (mala fides). So maybe one or two tries at this, and the DOJ will never allow them to file for this bullshit again.
I'm sure they'll just start taking everything to certain judges to get them rubber stamped. We already know there's one out there who will publicly suck on trump.
Slander! No one who talked so gently and called me lambkin would ever do such a thing! Especially not by conspiring with a fair bodyless maiden, as some so imply.
Poor fella was always trying to help the poor tarnished. They never would have gotten to the throne if he hadn't so kindly pointed them towards the giant castle looming overhead.
Because the man was legally in possession of them at the time. It's the same reason that you have to go through a tedious process to have your car reported stolen if you let someone borrow it and don't bring it back.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Marxist-Leninists describe their disagreements in terms that turn criticism of them into gibberish. I think it’s exactly what Orwell was writing about based on his experiences.
Nail on the head. There's a particularly active lemming from the tankie instances that always, and purposefully, devolves everything into arguing about everyone else using words incorrectly.
Bingo. She's won three terms, so six years of being a rep, which means she gets the retirement and healthcare (the federal option, which she would pay the premiums for, in fairness) for life. The formula calculates out somewhere between $17-20k once she turns 62 in another nine years. Not a lot, but a very decent chunk to add to everything else.
Add in everything from the typical republican grifts and why would she bother anymore?
I know, right? A 15 inch beer can!? Don't tell the boys, or they'll start trading out the forties for the... I don't know how tall a typical beer can is, but let's just say fifty-fives.
