Cute idea. But unfortunately not practical. For something as valuable/kg as cocaine, you can go to the trouble of using a narco sub. But there’s zero chance such a sub could practically carry cheap bulky goods like flour, rice, etc.

You might be able to use them to smuggle in medicines though.

Yeah, sorry, I’m going to trust Newsom and his laywers over your amateur legal analysis.

Eisenhower had one option to remove the National Guard from Faubus’s control. The president could issue an executive order based on the Insurrection Act of 1807, codified in Title 10 of the U.S. Code under sections 332 to 334 (since renumbered as 252 to 254). Section 332, regarding the “use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority,”

Trump hasn’t invoked the Insurrection Act. He is explicitly in violation of federal law here. The act that he used to activate these troops doesn’t allow the president to take authority of the guard away from the governor.

Newsom is currently the lawful commander of the California National Guard. He should be directly ordering them to stand down. What is it with this limp-dicked centrist bullshit of “well…I’ll file a lawsuit!”

Fucking cowards. I hope Trump arrests Newsom and has him executed. That would be the fate this coward deserves.

Trump IS violating the law. The president can’t just activate the guard any time he damn well feels like it. There are specific conditions that are required, and Trump is flagrantly violating them.

The problem is Democrats are cowards. Newsom has so many options he’s not even trying to use. For example, he could give his own contradicting orders to the California National Guard troops. After all, those would be the only legal orders given to the Guard. Trump is flagrantly violating the law here. If that didn’t work, he could announce that he’s putting any Guard troop deployed by Trump on immediate leave. They’re now on vacation and can walk off base at will. If that doesn’t work, he could defund the troops involved. You’re not getting paid for your time following illegal orders.

Instead, Democrats are cowards, so they make tired cringe jokes about Tacos.

It should be completely legal to shoot cops with rubber bullets whenever you feel like it. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

The Southern Baptist Church is a Satanic cult. If your religion leads you to hate, you are not worshiping God, you’re worshiping the Devil. They’re devil worshipers, the whole lot of them.

California should pass a ballot initiative making it legal for any random person to shoot police with less lethal munitions whenever they want. You should just be able to walk up to any cop, any time you want, and shoot them with a rubber bullet. If it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander.

Sounds like you need to start a new company. Out compete the dinosaurs and drive them into bankruptcy.

You trust the cops. Why would you? They’ve been proven, just in the last five years, to have planted evidence on innocent people.

If they planted the gun, shell casings wouldn’t be too hard to plant either.

Pedantry is the last refuge of the ignorant.

Eh, it’s the least populace US state. Plus, who doesn’t like mountains?

Israel is an existential threat to its neighbors. The hate isn’t irrational. It’s perfectly reasonable.

On the other hand, Israel is an existential threat to every nation around it. If there was an aggressive theocratic ethnostate expansionist threatening your border, wouldn’t you hate them?

Israel doesn’t just want Palestine. They want the West Bank, Gaza, and all or large chunks of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. Expelling the Gazans from Gaza won’t solve this. The Israelis want to do the following:

1. Expel the Gazans just over the border into shanty towns in neighboring countries.

2. Some displaced people in those areas will inevitably sneak back over the border to carry out revenge attacks against the people that stole their homes.

3. When (2) happens, use that as a justification to invade neighboring countries and seize additional land.

Israel has been slowly expanding its borders this way for decades. They seize an area of land, declare it a military buffer zone, but then let their civilians move into the buffer zone. They use their own population as human shields, putting them in danger of attacks by displaced Arabs. Then when this happens, they use this as an excuse to expand their borders further.

If you had a psychopathic country for a neighbor, that intended to slowly gobble up your own nation bit by bit, wouldn’t you want them all dead?

It ignores all the previous wars, all the tensions during the British mandate, the tensions during the Ottoman Empire, how the modern states came to be, how they developed their identities, the involvement of other countries in the region, the involvement of distant foreign powers, the insane amount of ethnic cleansing carried out not just in both of these states but also in the wider region as a consequence of that events that took place in this region.

And yet, for all your snowjob bullshit, there is one people in chains and another people putting them in chains. I don’t give a shit what the history is. No one has the right to do that to someone else. The Nazis had a long list of historical grievances against their Jewish population. You would have been right there on the side of the Nazis, saying that while you don’t support them necessarily, you fully understand what Hitler is trying to accomplish.

a trans state would be dope.

Can we just kick everyone out of Wyoming and make Wyoming the trans state?

Nah this is like if you are the parent of an adult child. They have a rough time. They get burned by a series of landlords who screw them over, take advantage of them, and seriously harm their well being. For whatever reason, they decide that instead of renting, their best option is to go squat in their childhood home. It was sold years ago and currently occupied, but they decided they’re just going to force their way in at gunpoint, take over part of the house, and slowly take over more and more of it. You think this is a great idea, and you gladly provide them with weapons and ammo so they can occupy their childhood home.

I don’t myself mind sharing the bathroom with a <N-word.> I am not some Klan member! But when my kids are involved, I have to draw a line. Kids aren’t old enough to understand black people and their culture. Black folks need to use the bathroom at home or use a black-only bathroom. I’ll happily share a bathroom with a black man, but my wife or kids shouldn’t have to. They’re just not equipped to handle the complexities of the situation. Don’t call me a racist, I just have concerns for the safety of children.

Human garbage never changes.
