I will agree that historical data is not always an accurate predictor of future events. But in this case we are talking not about what will happen, but about would the administration’s future actions be influenced by the possibility of people attacking transformers. It is reasonable to say that in the past, similar administration’s didn’t worry about similar things, so it is unlikely that the current administration will either.

The root of the issue is allowing officer to lie in order to deprive people of thier rights.

He knew he had nothing, he was just trying to get a confession by saying it was a 100% lock. The cameras wouldn’t matter as much if lieing like that was illegal.

Trump is going to get his armed resistance one way or another I guess.

La cocuracha (or however it is spelled)

Your simple point isn’t the mic drop you think it is. You seem to think this administration would care about maintaining order in every city block through the night. They would create green zones for themselves with power and such, but the rest would be on thier own each night, and probably only minorly managed during the day even. Workers and whoever they need would have to go through security to get into the green zones to work for food. This playbook has already been written and perfected over centuries.

I enjoyed andor. The first 1.5 seasons were pretty solid. Then they started “discovering” characters who were in Rouge One and doingbtheir usual BS where we are all supposed to faint because someone we know shows up…

They will just use generators. I mean seriously, the military can deploy to places like Afghanistan and iraq, where I am sure they had no power until they took over the power facilities and such. They can handle power without a grid just fine.

I wasn’t suggesting it would be permanent. But it would reduce the need temporarily so that maybe the military atc could cover while they train new people. At least the government might see it that way. They don’t care much about the long term anyway.

Well I am saying it won’t deter the gov in anyway.

The ones I am talking about have small jets or those turboprop planes for commercial service. And of course private small planes. I’ve seen a tower, but I guess it could be empty.

But why would the gov care if you are without power? The ones they need will be well protected.

I don’t have numbers, but there are tons of tiny regional airports. The kind that have only a handful of flights a day. But they all still need ATC right. I bet you can halve the need by just shutting those down. A small number of people will have to drive further to catch a flight.

Not much forges a bond like facing potential death together. And in this case, we are answering why guys get interested in war. So technically this is without bloodshed today, as the blood was shed lomg ago.

I think it often has to do with the kind of bonding between men during war, and guys being drawn to that more than the war itself.

I mean they are probably drug boats. But that isn’t really the point. It’s that he/we are unilaterally imposing a death sentence on another country’s citzens when the penalty in our country isn’t even death for these crimes. And, no trial, no transparency. Even if they are 100% guilty, it would still be wrong.

Though it doesn’t say the church knew anything about the assualt. Could be ragebait since we know churches have shuffled people to protect them before.

Why is a 4 year old alone with the pastor? Why was he driving another girl home from church.

It feels more like he was a family friend as well as a pastor. Probably babysitting and such. While I have no love for organized religion, nor believe there is any reason to trust a padtor more than any other person. The pastor thing may not be as relevant as it is being made out to be here. Still relevant, but I don’t think it is necessarily what gave him access to these girls.

While I agree, it isn’t just religion. Seems any organization that gets past a certain size goes the route of protecting its “leadership” over others. But religion is a great example of it.

Thanks to you. I couldn’t remember more than the M and the C. And it was killing me. Hilarious show. Terrible on a few moral levels, but I never claimed to be a saint.

And ask yourself why did they stop caring? They needed more profit, and caring costs a lot. So they tried to lower the level of care to see if they could squeeze profits. Enshitification. The race to the bottom. Couldn’t compete with companies making a cheaper product long term. All are really caused by profit being the primary purpose of the company.

And as someone else pointed out, the brand got sold. If it was so successful, they wouldn’t have sold it. Clearly it wasn’t generating enough profit despite the quality.

Side note, I had one back in the day, those thing sure were solid at the time.
