JPay is important, because in the modern US private prison system, it is INCREDIBLY expensive to be incarcerated. You pay for everything. The JPay system takes enormous fees out of your deposits, and you can quite literally drop $10 in there and wind up with $6 by the time it hits the account.
I was about to say, they tried. They have been trying for three years. They’ve committed a TON more forces than Ukraine, and still haven’t made significant progress. The invasion is a military failure on pretty much every level, and it’s only the most delusional that think Russia still has any chance of actually pulling off a successful annexation or occupation for any significant length of time.
You forgot the Spam.
Yeah, the thing a lot of Catholics in America don’t wanna look at is the fact that we very well might see another schism between American Catholicism and Roman Catholicism within our lifetimes, possibly within a decade. The American church has been drifting REALLY far from the RCC, and not in the good ways.
Recommend growing what you know is safe. The amount of “could kill you” mushrooms in the US is fairly low IIRC, but the amount of “this looks almost identical to an edible species but will make your day/week Not Fun” species is high enough in most places that I wouldn’t chance my luck on foraging.
Nope, it’ll be vaccines. When you announce that your study will have results by a certain date, you already have an outcome in mind - you’re just trying to find a way to retroactively fit data.
Yeah, they chose El Salvador because they’ve literally abolished due process. It’s like Cambodia again - someone accuses you and you’re just instantly taken away. You MIGHT get to see a judge after you’re imprisoned for a month or two, likely after you’ve been beaten half to death so you’ll confess to anything just to make the pain stop. It’s a dressed up version of Duterte’s Philippines - we’ll kidnap you and let you die, rather than just some death squad rolling up to your door (because that doesn’t play well to the media and the other can be dressed up as “law and order”).
There’s a reason El Salvador is outsourcing and staffing this place with foreign soldiers. Makes it easier to rotate people in and out, makes it easier to keep things hush in-country.
Middle Manager syndrome. There’s a lot of people out there who will happily do horrible, terrible things to their fellow humans so long as doing so allows them to exert a little bit of power.
Even worse now. Remember, that DOGE whistleblower said he got a physical, taped threat on his door, with what appear to be drone photos of him walking his dog.
Imagine having to fight for your parental rights against a dude who has the Literal US President for a friend.
Precisely this. You route a shipment to an un-tarriffed/un-embargoed country, usually to a shell company or something, and then ship it to wherever using THAT country as the country of origin. It’s a pretty common way of avoiding arms embargoes.
For the next couple weeks, I’m sure. The financials are watching all the axes being taken to regulation in the industrial sector and I’m sure they’re gonna want in on that scene at some point.
Which is what they were doing with the old Maxims in Ukraine. Slap it down in a defensive position, where you don’t have to move it (or, in a few cases, weld that shit to a pintle mount in the back of a truck), and you can keep firing until the barrel melts or you don’t have anything left to shoot.
Their runaround is stupid. “Well it said we only need to FACILITATE, and he’s in Salvadorian custody, so all we can do is ASK them. Since Bukele doesn’t WANT to, we can’t really do much else, we’re just some backwater little regional power compared to the mighty El Salvador.”
Nah, these guys want a war. War is incredibly profitable, can last forever especially against a near-peer, and wartime presidents tend to get power expansions. They’re hoping this is the push they need to go full Palpatine and say “well we’re in a war, no elections until the war is done, also we’re taking a page from Lincoln and suspending habeas.”
They know. It is literally why they chose the name. Al Qaeda was arguably the most successful insurgency against the US since the VC, and these neo Nazis specifically seek to emulate their strategies of decentralized, religiously motivated terrorism.
Honestly I welcome the extermination. It might be better this way.
Apparently Trump is absolutely fucking terrified of people poisoning his food. It’s why he eats like shit - random fast food is harder to poison.
Yeah, I’m thinking they’ll do the “he attempted to escape/kill one of his guards in transit, we had to shoot him” thing - I feel like the entire entourage of armed guards will provide cover for the news networks to go “well he was incredibly violent, anyone could’ve seen this coming”.
Yeah, this is pretty much it. There’s a TON of students who already left, probably closed out everything on this side of the border for them as well - apartment leases, class enrollments, etc. They aren’t coming back just because ICE said “we promise it won’t happen again”, and now all the dumb idiots who weren’t paying attention can now point at a soundbite and say “well ICE reversed those because they did them wrong/weren’t supposed to, so it’s fine”. Combine this with the woman who was literally black-bagged off her college campus in full daylight and full view of surveillance cameras by ICE, and I sure as hell wouldn’t wanna come back just because the government pinky-swears it won’t happen again.
