This is based on the fallacy that people deserve to be rich because they are more skilled and work harder. In most cases this is not true. Most just use money to make more money. They don’t actually produce anything useful for humanity.

They should just be honest and fly the Confederate flag.

Trades. If you are a plumber or an auto mechanic you can make a killing. Doubly so if you own the business. If I had it to do over again I would get a business degree and then become an electrician.

200 officers to Chicago aren’t going to last long. 20,000 wouldn’t even do it.

The Praetorian Guard killed something like 13 emperors. Food for thought.

The people in the DoJ now are doing the right thing even if their predecessors didn’t. That deserves at least a little positive acknowledgement.

Good. Next question.

The President is only immune from civil suits for actions taken while he was president. These felonies precede his term and are actionable.

You are right about him being functionally a king once he is back in office though.

Doesn’t a felony conviction make related civil suits against you much easier? I can think of a lot of people who would love to take a chunk out of his fortune.

It seems to me that it doesn’t matter what impact the bollard can withstand. It matters what a vehicle can withstand. Any collision with a stationary anchored device is going to have a chance of disabling a vehicle.

During Desert Storm I did something similar. I took an old water heater, jammed it in a neighbor’s yard, and painted it like a SCUD missile.

Either way it’s right wing terrorism.

Address wealth inequality and most of the other problems would evaporate.

My first instinct was pink, but on second thought blue. There is no saying that because the pill makes them my friend that it couldn’t ever change. If not, I could always use more hot friends who could hook me up with their hot friends.

It says it was confirmed to be an ISIS flag by the FBI, but that doesn’t rule out a literal false flag attack to justify reprisals against Muslims.

The stadium required anyone drinking to show valid ID and get a wristband. The city keeps a very tight watch on the stadium following the laws under threat of getting their liquor licence pulled. In this state a liquor licence can be pulled if the facility knowingly allows minors to drink alcohol, even if the guardian of the minor permits it.

But poor parents wouldn’t have been in those seats and a large reason we cared so much was the people in those seats were shown on TV each time a player was up to bat.

I worked security for a pro baseball stadium. Some guy and his teenage sons had front row season tickets behind home base. The boys were underage and openly drinking alcohol. We went to tell them the kids had to cut it out.

This guy (who was drunk too) throws a fit that we dared tell him what he could do. He starts shouting “do you know how much I pay for these tickets!? My sons can do whatever they want” blah blah blah.

I wave down the security head and he radios for the police to come deal with it. The man and his sons were marched out to boos from the crowd. They were ejected from the game and fined. They potentially lost their season ticket rights too, but I don’t know for sure. I never saw them again though.
