One letter is not enough! We also need a U to express our never-ending gratitude!

Hold up. From the article:

She was released to obtain documentation about the allegedly expunged convictions and presented them to Ice officials at San Francisco airport on 21 April, after which she was again detained and sent to the facility at Tacoma, said Holladay.

She brought documentation about the expunged convictions to ICE, so presumably she had some kind of evidence they had been expunged. I am pretty sure she wouldn’t have been arrested under the Biden administration, or any other American administration before that. She posed no flight risk, and a judge would have had to review the evidence before an arrest would have been made.

You know, Due Process and all. It still existed six months ago, and the Constitution was still considered binding by a lot of people in government. Very many people. Some say, the best people.

The agent who led the raid said his personal GPS led him to the wrong place.

Easy-peasy: add the GPS maker to the lawsuit and SCOTUS will know what to do to protect the job creator.

“They do not put this same effort behind, say, school shooters or people who shoot up concerts.”

I think the real question here is: how many lives were saved by insurance companies temporarily being scared into not ludicrously rejecting valid claims?

If it’s more than one, then Mangione played the trolley problem in real life and decided an outcome.

I sort of start having the sense that America will have a hard time finding buyers for its $5.7 trillion debt.

It’s sort of ironic that the one thing countries used to be most adamant about had to have their sovereign stamp of approval, national defense, is the one where the UK seems to be most accepting of joint efforts.

It’s funny how the magic trick actually works: you force companies to affix information to a product, the consumer reads and reacts to the information, and the company has to create products that satisfy the informed demand.

Looking at you, Apple and Samsung, removing features from your products simply to force your customers into an ever more closed ecosystem.

At this point, it feels like anyone who gives up something of value for a deal with this administration is just cruisin’ for a bruisin’.

Great summary! That’s basically what they say. On both ballistic missiles and drones, Europe is nowhere near being able to shut down a major attack.

Of course, Europe under attack would not respond with the same forced restraint as Ukraine, that for the longest time wasn’t allowed to strike within Russia.

It’s been around for 5 years, and this nutbag in Waukesha found it. I am pretty sure it wouldn’t have been hard for law enforcement to know what was going on, if they had been looking.

Generally speaking, the problem when you don’t repay your debt is not that other countries invade you, but that you don’t get any new loans.

If America can get a new currency, default on her debt, and at the same time manage a balanced budget, all is good. Otherwise, who’s going to come up with the loans required?

I am confused by the article’s insistence that the Euro is not a viable alternative because it’s “one currency, 20 countries”. If anything, the sheer number of countries make sure that a single election is not going to affect financial and economic policies all that much - which is the main reason for the USD’s fall from grace right now.
