  • Especially when, even if you're not found guilty of actually breaking the law, you can still be brought to your medical board over these laws. They're MEANT to be vague, meant to be open to a million interpretations, just like old poll tests, just like Jim Crow laws, just like a hundred other things.

  • Pretty much this. A half day advantage in a theoretical zombie horde situation, where you're fighting potentially hundreds of enemies, demands stronger fortifications than just field-expedient shit. You're better off finding another place to fight that's already decently strong, and fortifying THAT.

  • Pretty much this. It'll get appealed all the way to the SC, where Thomas will write a decision saying "actually all funding is at the President's sole discretion" and that'll be it.

  • Basically, yes. I'm sure there's a not-insignificant amount of them who are directly or indirectly linked to white supremacy globally, and don't want to get caught up when someone says "hey didn't you help with a bombing campaign" because these fucks roll right the fuck over on each other when push comes to shove.

  • However, there's no faith like the zealotry of the adult convert.

  • Yeah, the run up for ICE is too slow, and they're not coming out of the pipe willing to kill people. Blackwater and the various other mercenaries in the US (don't care what hairs you wanna split, they're mercenaries) absolutely are willing to massacre whoever so long as their paycheck cashes.

  • There's also just the fact that "weapons grade" just means it's useful for a fission weapon. Nothing's stopping you from taking that cobalt-60 you found in that Therac at Daryl's junkyard, strapping it to an IED, and using that as a dispersal device to give a lot of people radiation poisoning or whatever (the traditional "dirty bomb").

  • So officially it's just ACCESS. You're not carting it away without an escort or a clear idea of where it's going, and it's still technically controlled by the DOE. However, since the levers are all ripped off by the administration cutting everything to the bone and then some, this is effectively a cash injection to OpenAI by financing some terror organizations and rogue states.

  • Hell, if you have the first one at a certain level, you can ignore the other two just fine. Money covereth a multitude of sins.

  • That being said, South America in general has contended with CIA interference for decades. It's not unreasonable to think they've grown wise to their playbook.

  • This. They're all being replaced by CBP because Trump is upset ICE isn't just smoking people in the street for looking brown.

  • One use I'm honestly fine with on the whole. Fleecing your company is always morally correct.

  • Copaganda in general can just go away.

  • Even into the later series, people had to fight to do interesting things with it. IIRC the network was skittish about Voyager because nobody would possibly be interested in a scifi show with a female lead.

  • He's also wanting Venezuela to declare war first.

  • And a president who wants to shoot those protestors, and a federal police, answerable to no one, who can definitely do it. I'm giving it a year before we see at least one protest met with overwhelming lethal force.

  • He's a narcissist. Letting go of ANY shred of power is unimaginable, because he deserves EVERYTHING. Any scrap of power he has relinquished has been at legal gunpoint.

  • Not to mention expanding the bunker at the WH. Dude knows he's absolutely going to try to stay President no matter what happens. Expect full Franco.

  • Blueprints aren't needed if the project is going to be a boondoggle to swindle more cash out of investors. Just keep adding stuff, just keep claiming you NEED to add more stuff, and eventually you wind up with The Big Dig.
