By definition the federal government will return Seattle PD back into what it was, but with federal backing and technical support.

I’m in a smaller city and even our local PD has two apcs. This is a nightmare.

For these people it’s just the prosperity gospel, but without God. nothing matters to them except money.

The Chicken Tax is a 25 percent tariff on light trucks (and originally on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy) imposed in 1964 Eventually, the tariffs on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy were lifted,[4] but since 1964 this form of protectionism has remained in place to give US domestic automakers an advantage over imported competitors.

I should have clarified, my response was pointed.

but dealers were already being held accountable anyways.

I disagree with the above statement.

Dealers, by and large, were NOT being held accountable

More than half of all stores with violations transferred guns without running a background check correctly, waiting for the check to finish or properly recording the results. More than 200 dealers were cited for selling guns to people who indicated on background check paperwork that they were prohibited from owning them. Dozens made false statements in official records, a violation that includes facilitating illegal straw purchases.

A Florida gun dealer got in trouble for giving a Taurus handgun to a convicted felon in the parking lot and an Arkansas pawn shop was cited for selling a firearm to a customer even though he’d failed the background check because of an active restraining order. In Ohio, one store transferred guns without conducting background checks 112 times; another was missing some 600 firearms. A Pennsylvania gun retailer racked up 45 violations and received eight warnings from the ATF. But the store was allowed to remain in business, and went on to sell a shotgun to a man who used it to kill four family members, including his 7-year-old half-brother.

and then…

A single violation is enough to shutter a gun shop if ATF officials can prove that the store willfully broke federal regulations. In the vast majority of the cases analyzed by The Trace and USA TODAY, the ATF gave violators the lightest penalty available: a boilerplate warning letter reminding them that their compliance is critical to “reduce violent crime and protect the public.” The agency revoked a gun dealer’s license in less than 3 percent of cases.

The Last Screenwriter

“Featured Review” is telling.

Cancel-culture mob missed the point. Shame on the cinemas who cancelled the screening because whinging mobs shook their fists.

First of all, the movie is non-profit. Secondly, it was made by a real human crew and real actors.

It was clever to get ChatGPT to write a film script about a screenwriter who feels his job is threatened by AI’s superior writing ability. How can anyone not be curious to watch this movie?

…

Ultimately, the script lacks any real punch or decent plot twists or narrative layering that we humans love about film. It doesn’t go anywhere you wouldn’t predict.

emphasis mine.

Why go through the effort to put 0 population Heard Island and McDonald Islands?

Pentagon-wide advisory sent to staffers on March 18 — less than a week before the screwup went public — explicitly warned against using Signal for any sharing of information, classified or not.

The advisory claimed that a “vulnerability has been identified in the Signal messenger application,” and that Russian hacking groups were “targeting Signal Messenger to spy on persons of interest” (a Signal spokesperson told NPR that the company wasn’t “aware of any vulnerabilities or supposed ones that we haven’t addressed publicly.”)

In a particularly gruesome case in 2015, an 18-month-old Palestinian boy was burned to death when settlers torched a home in Duma, south of Nablus.

Former US President Joe Biden sanctioned a number of Israeli settlers for carrying out such attacks, but President Donald Trump has since lifted those sanctions.

Streaming does cost money, not much individually, but at the scale they are at, this is huge savings!($)

Think about it this way, the cost per customer will not go down (probably up), but the amount of content will go down.

The killing is just a side effect, the real goal is omnicide.

It’s slightly different I think.

Those complaining are “fraudsters” and do not “like their government”

Stop assuming they are dumb, these guys are trying to strip money from America’s neediest while suggesting complaining is either criminal or unpatriotic.
