If we are talking about the “Maryland Dad” then yeah the guy just coincidentally hung out with MS-13 gangbangers and the tat just looked like an MS-13 tat by happenstance.

I am thinking Braveheart. You care about William Wallace and Robert the Bruce.
The plot does drive the movie (along with certain twists, etc.).
And of course there’s some fun action.

My favorite line was “they do move in herds.” Here was a guy who spent his life claiming to be an expert but the statement revealed his inner uncertainty.
Just chefs kiss.
That and the whole hubris of man theme.

The original movie had dinosaurs attacking people and an amazing script. In fact, the former was used somewhat seldomly which (1) made it better and (2) played into what makes the script so good.

It is evil in the same way that when you strike a bargain, you ought to uphold the bargain.
Sure bargains are revisited after some time. But most people understand that a bargain is designed to last at least for some period of time; not weeks.
Activists therefore are violating the spirit of the bargain.
I also think activists frequently have wrongheaded goals and make things worse off but that’s a separate matter (though it no doubt makes me less favorably disposed to activists in general — in truth I think an activist is a shameful “profession.”)

And this is why the activists win. Every time you move the line a little, the next movement of the line is only slighter more expensive compared to the new status quo and the government has already admitted the alleged moral case.
I find activists in part evil because they never hold up their end of the bargain. On Friday, they will celebrate their hard won compromised victory and on the next Monday they will be telling us how the status quo is intolerable and needs changed.

I think modern weapons are different from ‘Nam area. My understanding with some of the weapons is we basically did everything but bit the fire button.

I think it’s a bit more than “we think they are here.” From my understanding, we did everything but pull the trigger and without us Ukraine couldn’t have fired some of the weapons.

Originalism isn’t strict textualism. It is trying to understand the public meaning at the time of enactment. To understand that, you obviously look at the words but also the entire context.
Note that even textualism (for reading statutes) tries to ignore strict textual conclusions. Scalia and Garner wrote a book on how to interpret texts from a textualist perspective. Strict literalism is something that caution against. Doesn’t give license to ignore the words but there ought to be an attempt to give the most reasonable interpretation of the words that puts the words in proper context.

American weapons guided with American intelligence have hit Russian targets. I fail to see how different that is to bombers dropping bombs.

I agree the dude just appears to be totally nuts. In a way that’s the best outcome.

There was the time she made a basic mathematical error in one of her dissents in a college discrimination case if memory serves.

Isn’t the right story: get married and then have a bunch of sex — indeed you’ll have more sex compared to being single and ready to mingle?

JournaList was a thing. They repeat the same message and social media showed how creepy it was. The above post reads as cope.

There are requirements to come under the program which they entered via. I don’t think anyone seriously debates that on the merits they’d qualify for these programs. Instead, the whole point is to delay for almost a decade having the case tried on the merits so that by that point in time the pro immigrant can say “they’ve been here a decade — how cruel to cast them out.”
That is, it is all a procedural game whilst they are substantively illegal. Fuck then for playing that game and the NGOs who support it.

He really is a jackass. People are pointing out that the dudes LinkedIn has him employed 50m from the location of this alleged roommate and that the alleged shooter was married with kids. It really calls into question whether this purported roommate is actually a roommate.
The only thing Haniana has in response to the evidence is sarcasm. He is just the worst; even when he agrees with me.

This seems highly inconsistent with the facts on the ground. What are the odds that he happened to target two democrats that very recently voted on a massive issue with the Republicans?
That is, if he was targeting Democrats at random the odds are very small he’d pick these two. So the evidence we have at first glance (as opposed to your speculative evidence) suggests he is left wing coded.

Cars routinely go 70-80 mph on the highway. 90 is unusual. In any event i think it’s agree to disagree time.

Not all deportations are the same. Turning someone back around the border counts as a deportation but is of a different kind.

Many of these people going less cause more of a problem compared to the people going over. The slow people bunch traffic up which causes accidents.
In moderation, alcohol can create social cohesion. The moderation is the key bit.
