The court documents do not make clear whether Maland was struck by one of Youngblut’s bullets or a shot fired by a fellow agent.

Fuck... so the women who survived was the only one who shot at the agents, she got two shots off, and the agent who died may have been killed by friendly fire. The driver, who was killed, was a german national with an expired visa, he had a gun and may have reached for it but didn't actually fire any shots. What an absolute cluster fuck.

Lol the airline industry has some pretty good terms, my personal favorite is "wet lease".

Educating yourself on topic is a good idea BEFORE you plan on arguing about it online.

Yup, I say it in every thread of this sort I see pop up, you definitionally can't force organic engagement.

There's probably a microsoft engineer out there somewhere sitting in a cubical who has the solution already written and tested and they just can't figure out how to send it to their boss. They've tried outlook, teams, github, skype, and even one drive but they're all so broken that it may just be faster to print the code out and mail it.

I get what you meant but what you're proposing is just losing democracy all at once vs bit by bit. At least one option gives us more time to find a solution. This isn't just a philosophical question for a lot of people, maybe it can be for you and that's great, I'm glad you aren't concerned about a Trump presidency.

I mean I'm not American so my plan is to watch either way

So you don't really have a stake in this.

Y'all need a way to get the DNC back on track and you need it fast, because this is a version of the gambler's ruin where instead of money you're gambling democracy and, to make matters worse, lose democracy even if you win the bet.

No, you're the one gambling democracy because Trump winning right now would guarantee an attack on all the institutions we have in place to try and maintain democracy in the US. If you're confident those institutions will hold and be able to curtail Trumps plans to subvert democracy then sure, none of this matters. But if you aren't confident in the US Supreme Court and Congress then it's foolish to think Trump will just leave after 4 years if he wins this time.

What's your plan when Trump wins this time? Why won't that plan still work in 4 years if another Trump does surface? Unless you don't have a plan and just want to rip the band aid off to get it over with. I don't like how the DNC operates and we need to work to change it but if Trump gets elected with no plan in place to control him he will just wipe Gaza off the map and build a golf course where it used to be.

Not only caught on tape, he was found civilly liable for raping E. Jean Carrol.

Because you're a pool?

I think many racists do in fact say Native Americans are throwing racist tantrums when they work towards gaining even the most basic of human rights.

I mean, that's like calling a Native American racist for disliking European (white) Americans. Like sure, technically, but aren't there some underlying issues at play that make the feeling more justified.
