When your president failed law school

They can move to the U.S. and then pay tariffs to import the parts, and have a smaller international demand for the product do to retaliatory tariffs and just straight avoidance of U.S. products while making their product in a higher cost to operate area. OR they can build a mine, pay higher lifting costs, higher wages, produce a much more expensive product of shitty quality to keep the price hopefully low enough that they can still have a demand for the product abroad, but everyone will coorelate their American products as shit because they cut corners to try to keep the costs low enough while having higher expenses. So no one wants their product. Or they could not cut corners and make a great product that costs so much that their market shrinks down to inoperable levels and go out of business.

Trump Says He’ll Defy Court Order, Withhold SNAP Until Dems Drop Demands and Reopen Gov’t

"sound the alarm", horseshit. Just file the articles of impeachment and make the senators vote openly that they believe the executive branch ignoring a court order is okay. Senators should have to openly say it's okay to not remove someone for not following the rules /"laws" of the republic. Then as Trump keeps fucking everything up the Senators will have to realize either A. They are willing to surrender their job/career/ country to back a tryant,or B. They need to jump ship.

If its fine to not listen to the courts, then there is no reason for congress to exist. Their job is to write legislation that the courts ensure breakers of that legislation are punished.

They should have done so on many other occasions, but their failures are only adding up.

MEGA THREAD - Trump shot but safe, 2 others killed at PA rally

Guy tries to overthrow the country, and people are worried that someone tried to kill him. What is wrong with this world. If people aren't trying to kill him we have something to worried about.

The justice system failed to arrest and detain the suspect and keep him imprisoned until charged properly. This isn't a failure of the people, it is a failure of the government.

You have got to be shitting me

Start physical education earlier? PE and playground time type shit started in preschool.

If you want to bring down medical costs pay them directly through the government and ban insurance companies.

Drug company: "We're going to raise the price of drug A."

Proper response: "If you raise the price of your drug we'll ignore your patent and sell it for half the cost so you lose sales"

Medical costs would fall and we'd have a healthier society

Whippets is a reference to inhaling the nitrous which causes a short temporary high (so you have to keep doing them I guess). I didn't know what they were until I helped out a friend who GM'd a hotel. They needed a maintenance guy and I just moved there so I took it for a few months and trained their new guy or w.e. (I don't know shit about hotels but mostly it is just standard plumbing and electrical issues). Had a leak on the first floor coming into the gym. Traced it back upstairs to the third floor. Bunch of young adults had ~500 whippets around the room, they refused to let us in, I eventually got in and found they did something to the toilet, it kept running, they were to fucked up to notice the night before and it leaked through the bathroom floor, down an inside barrier wall and made the ceiling collapse in the gym. Wouldn't have been an issue had they just reported the leak when it happened.. instead it took us hours to get them to let us into the room, and they didnt spend the time cleanjng anything, just not wanting to get up. Whatever they did, they sure as shit weren't going to have fun explaining the damages they caused to their parents, because I don't think the hotel/police were letting them skip out on paying for it.

Get rid of them.

The IT department would never be responsible for handing over said data. Backing it up, making sure it was recoverable, sure. But IT would have no actions with such.

I assume it would be the HR department or the administrators

Multiple people shot at Dallas ICE field office

Reply in thread

Sounds like 3 people shot, and the shooter killed himself. 2 people were detainees that were shot, no information on the third. Noem of course is saying "violence against ICE has to stop".... But this very much sounds like violence against immigrants. Unless they were detaining ICE officers

Edit: Fox is reporting all 3 were detainees, being shot with a rifle from range and the shooter killed himself. Fox made sure to say the shooter was white.

I haven't seen anyone else report on it outside FOX/CNN with any details yet
