Still US soldiers and I’m still a US citizen.

Can lightning disable a tank? I don’t want the crews to get hurt but four or five M1 Abrams stuck in the middle of Constitution Ave would make for some fucking GREAT b-roll for the nightly news.

Yeah, I bet it’s going to be a fee. A “tariff” on getting your ass in the country. At least with the investment scheme you have skin in the game, you’d like to see that 1m grow into 2m. If you just pay 5m and then fuckoff you don’t get anything back but a green card (?). Of course, green cards aren’t worth the paper they are printed on anymore.

The penultimate paragraph sums it up well

The government has failed to protect us; the government is actively oppressing us; the government has rendered itself the enemy. Not all forms of resistance are advisable, but at this point they are understandable. The regime wants to shatter the social contract? Very well. But that decision cuts both ways.

“somewhere”?

Shit, even the banana republics make you put it in one of their banks.

“Typically, we do everything we can and more to ensure things are not taken to a physical resolution,” VanMeter said. “I would assume you would know that.”

Actually we assume that cops, and definitely cops that choose to be SWAT, are trigger happy goons who didn’t get hugged enough as children.

Like the article says, it’s probably just a replacement for EB-5 visas, which many countries have.

Fuckin’ inflation on that bitch though, went from just over a mil in investment to a straight up $5m fee. Where does the fee go? No one knooooowwwwwwsssssss

yay! another day, another escalation.

This probably isn’t “it” but “it’s” part of “it”. Stay safe, LA

doesn’t look like it kept rolling all night, nothing even on youtube really. stay safe.

Cool, so still just civilian cops. Did it cool off overnight?

Anything worse happen last night? Still the same headlines on the national news sites

OK, so the same shit about “trump is going to”. last I heard newsom was in charge of CA NG. Trump isn’t allowed to bring them up without a declaration of emergency or whatever.

Just bullshit that they will walk back in the morning.

e: LA times and AP seem to think this is actually happening. This is the boiling point; are you going to sit in the pot or jump out?

… which hasn’t happened yet?

Anyone able to confirm this? Tom Homan isn’t allowed to mobilize CA National Guard so… what’s going on over there?

What if heroin was healthy?

Oh yeah.

But this whole thing seems like, “what if my grandma was a bike” so fuck it.

I’m pretty sure you don’t understand the science involved. “Alcohol” must be a beverage. There’s no other way to take that particular drug.

e: OK geniuses… make some powdered EtOH. I’d love to see it and I’ll duplicate your efforts if you’re successful.

e2: oh, some of these brave souls must be injecting it. Please be careful with dosage.
