  • Proposed bill would ban ICE agents, law enforcement from wearing masks in California

  • A face can be seen, recognized and recorded from a distance. Video doesn't usually do any good with badges and other identification but cops and criminals both - or one and the same - risk being identified if they don't have masks.

  • I too was constantly accused of cheating throughout my first marriage. Not for any reason other than her suspicions... it was exhausting! She also took offense to the fact that I'm not the jealous type. Some dude would hit on her and she'd be upset it didn't make me mad. I'd respond "Are you interested?" "Well no!" "Then why should I be worried or upset. I trust you." It took me far too long to realize she suspected me because she knew she'd cheat on me if the situation were reversed and she figured everyone was like her.

    During our divorce our court-ordered psychiatrist said he believed she suffered from some psychosis but would need more time to properly diagnose it. Since then I've come to realize her behavior is well-described as a vulnerable narcissist, and combined with her alcoholism and paranoia she destroyed just about every relationship she had before she died. It was a very sad and lonely end... I wish she'd have gotten help.

  • Dude I'm glad you're in a better place. Our lives have very strange parallels. I was with my crazy ex from 17-32, she also falsely accused me of raping and beating her, telling our friends, family, my coworkers and neighbors - I even got a night in jail, but thankfully recorded conversations of us talking about her bruises and her saying she'd falsely accuse me - and I dealt with her craziness and fought for our marriage for years only to find she was cheating on me. When I found out and threw in the towel she went completely unhinged, especially when I got involved with another woman. My ex also died not long after we divorced.

    I've now been with my wife much longer than my first and it's been nothing but wonderful. I did not let my experience with my ex change my outlook on marriage and relationships... I don't want to be with anyone that doesn't want to be with me, and I'm convinced anyone cheating is going to screw up and get caught so there's no need to be suspicious and go looking... it'll reveal itself in time, and if so, I'll say goodbye. Unwarranted distrust does great harm and it seems to be projecting with most people. Trusting each other and loving each other's company is the mainstay of a great relationship and I'm so thankful I went from a nightmare marriage to what's really an unrealistic movie romance. I didn't really think such an amazing relationship was possible.

    Glad to hear you're in a much better place and relationship. A past of bad experiences should make you be more careful who you get involved with but if you use it to build walls around yourself, you hurt your relationships. Love with your all and don't live in fear of betrayal. It's the only way a relationship can become what your heart longs for.

  • According to the article she supported Harris and donated $700,000 to her campaign and other PACs trying to get her elected. She's doing more positive than most billionaires, that's for sure.

  • Lots of Fortune 500 companies own buildings and both they and their executives have big investments in commercial real estate. They don't want the market to collapse because it'll hurt them all personally.

  • The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation.

  • Your link also includes the full video of the Australian getting shot too. You should point that out as I'm sure others would like to see it.

  • I'd put it in the lawful category. 4 space indentation and other strict formatting requirements chaffs me to no end, just like a hard-ass teacher requiring name and student number in some specific and strict format at the top of a page.

  • Freak sell-off of ‘safe haven’ US bonds raises fear that confidence in America is fading

  • Investors are the problem?

    I for one like stability when my money is involved, and most people do. Most arent looking for the roulette wheel experience. When you have an idiot wielding tremendous power to throw out trade agreements and to inadvertently or intentionally tank certain businesses and industries because they're significantly affected by tariffs, and from one day to the next they're added, removed, added again, increased, now decreased... that's not a place you want your money. And the government's where those businesses reside aren't stable either as their future taxes and revenue streams are hard to predict, so their bonds are dicey.

    So what do you think investors should do? So what are you doing? Just crossing your fingers and rolling the dice? Got any major purchases coming up? Hoping to retire soon? If you lost your job how secure you feeling about getting another right now? Maybe invest in $TRUMP... I'm sure that will carry you.

  • I don't think anyone's is worried about the owners of the CA oil. I'm just pointing out we're not going to see CA stop selling oil to the US because they have no other option. They aren't going to take one for the team to punish the US, especially because US oil owns much of the CA oil sands operation.

  • The trouble is they have no one else to sell it to. The US is their only market for it since they have no other way to get it to market.

  • Except he's not funding a war, he's funding the defense of a nation fighting for freedom and its right to exist.

    Ukraine didn't get in this war as a pissing match with Russia. It was wrongly attacked and is a democracy defending itself. It's had its children kidnapped and its civilians targeted. It will cease to exist if it loses. We don't have a greedy capitalist funding an unjust war for profit as you're trying to suggest. Helping Ukraine is the right thing to do. Refusing to help them will simply result in Europe fighting a better-resourced Russia later.
