He's not an American citizen or even a lawful permanent resident. What right do we have to demand a foreign government give us one of their citizens? It's not as if we are seeking his prosecution in America for a crime that would fall under our extradition treaty with El Salvador.

How exactly do you suppose algae on another planet effects Catholicism?

The idea is that if there is life on other planets then Christianity is debunked because somehow God can't possible have created life on different planets with different rules or have different salvation plans for different higher lifeforms. It's a simplistic argument that has no merit.

With that aside, this is an incredible find and I hope it's true.

What do you mean by "work"?

I think all sorts of things will work in culturally homogenous, high trust societies, including all sorts of democratic socialist utopian ideas.

That doesn't make them advisable. But I'd be willing to discuss them. But again, you guys want the top of the pyramid without doing any of the foundational work.


Could we stop arguing politics, like taxes, and keep the discussion on the topic? Jesus.

“I was leaving the union with my food. There’s a road next to it and I was walking and this guy pulls up in an orange Hummer, and he gets out with a rifle and shoots in my direction. There were a couple other kids near me,” Heeter said. “I think he was shooting and he missed. So he goes back into his car and grabs a pistol, then he turns and shoots the lady in front of him. That’s when I just started running.”



This is wild to me and doesn't make any sense. He couldn't hit anything with a rifle so he grabbed a handgun and then shot someone directly right next to him after he had been shooting? LINK
I hate that this patch dropped a week before Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 which I know is going to consume my non-work life when it comes out.

Even so I started a new run last night as a Halfling Swashbuckler Rogue because a halfling pirate seems fun.

The better parking at airports

Absolutely. I will gladly pay the $120, or whatever, for a week of parking next to the terminal so that when I get home I can just jump in my car and leave 5 minutes after grabbing my luggage.

Park and shuttle is miserable.
Someone earlier this week said that his research said the garden of Eden, and specifically the tree of life, was buried under the Pyramid of Giza.
We still have a 10% tariff on countries and the huge one on China. The only 90 day pause was for the "reciprocal" tariffs. Maybe let's wait to see what happens.

Agreed. And this judge was appointed by Trump. And I kind of agree with him. I think Trump may have overstepped on this one. But hey, what's good for the goose, right? Vaccine choice, pronoun usage, the name of a body of water, etc.

It's a decent ruling. The administration screwed up when they said it was not being allowed because of the AP not calling it the Gulf of America. They should've just replaced them with another group to allow others to participate or some such reason.

13-2 is fun. I was extremely disappointed in 13. Hope can die in a fire. One of the worst video game characters of all time.
Every election we lose isn't fraud and to claim every loss is fraud weakens our argument when there is. Stop.
American Dad and Bob’s Burgers are phenomenal shows. Although BB has been going downhill with every episode now seeming as if it has to have some big sentimental story.

I agree with almost everything Trump is doing but apply this same, ridiculous, stance to a Gavin Newsom Presidency.

You shut your mouth when you're talking to me. Paul and Massie are national treasures who vote with Trump's agenda 90% of the time. It's possible to disagree with someone on a few things and still support their overall agenda.

Agreed.

What on earth is truflation?

It is something similar to GDPnow in which they look at each economic report and update predicted inflation based on those numbers.

The website says "We utilize modern consumer and spending data sets along with cutting-edge technology to deliver the world’s only verifiable daily inflation indexes. "

they should want him back asap if they're admitting it was a mistake in the first place

No one is saying the Trump administration can't get him back. They are arguing that the judicial branch can't order it because the President has unfettered power over foreign policy. I don't buy that argument but that is Trump's stance so he can't concede here or it would cause all of his other appeals to fail.

Does he have authority over a LITIGANT who is present in his court? Yes or no?

Yes, over actions that occur in his area of judicial authority.
