To drive desalinization plants and solve the water crisis in the Southwest. The problem is that'll cost a whole bunch of money for the extra infrastructure needed to get the power where it needs to be. And it's surprisingly hard to get that money because so much of California's money needs to go to the Southern States to keep them barely functional

It's not so much for actual vegans as for people who find the word "Vegan" to have a vague positive connotation. (I think this kind of thing sells half of the junk that gets produced today.)

You, too, can be hip and avant-Vegan. All you have to do is buy the watch.

Sure, each launch provided Russia with about 0.004% of its GDP.
Russia, like the US, utilizes solid-fueled ICBMs.

Russian birds are built to fight a war, just like ours were.
China, which has a no-first-use official nuclear doctrine, served just as a deterrent.

Re-run?
It won't let you get past it without a Microsoft account unless the registry keys are set....
I believe there's a program that'll do that for you, but you have to open a terminal during the OOBE to run it.

Nuclear weapons aren't more complicated than rockets. In fact, they're far simpler.
Despite the corruption, they're not having trouble getting rockets into space. I have no doubt their warheads, ICBMs, and RVs are in workable shape.

Social media? Addictive? Looking at the world today, who the hell is gonna define “addiction” now? An addict?

Not sure why we’re so very suddenly concerned a decade late and a few billion dollars worth of mental health profit later. Maybe the only thing someone was Lite on, was campaign contributions.

They only give the product away for free forever. Of course customers can quit anytime.

You can find statistics to support the assertion you're more likely to get railroaded now than 50 years ago. I haven't seen any to suggest the opposite.

Evidence is great, if you can manage to present it. Chances are you won't get a trial.

Interestingly, that Kohberger serial killer dude, who was studying criminal justice, has now popped out with what his lawyers call an airtight cell phone alibi. I usually don't follow stories like that, but I get the feeling the cops will be studying that one closely for a while. I'll wait until the dust is settled before I read more into it.

You're completely right.

However, I am however inclined to agree with the criticism invoked in the conservative Justices questioning.
The law is in fact written so broadly, that even a peaceful protest would be subject to this rather harsh penalty. That means the law itself is bullshit. If i were one of the fuckwits being charged with this shit, I'd want to attack it from this angle too.

Bingo.

Manufacturing novel legal theories is the idea of absolute Presidential immunity.
As for the charge of "Obstructing an official proceeding" being used with a rather liberal interpretation, that really stems back to 2019 with several high-profile cases tried by the Trump Justice Department.

As for the congress-critter, I'm inclined to agree with you.
However- that one is a bit tricky. Congresscritter says it was an accident.
Even if it obviously wasn't, the burden of proof is on the Government to prove otherwise.
A charge of such with zero provable mens rea would be immediately dismissed.
Further, it's additionally complicated by the fact that it was a Congresscritter at all.

In general, Congress polices itself, and the DOJ doesn't usually get involved unless at the request thereof.

I'm afraid politics has tainted your mind. It's pretty sad to see.

Oh, I agree.
If he had one iota of fucking balls, he'd have did what he openly said he'd do, or wanted to do, or did.
And then yes, he would have been a dictator.
Fortunately, he's a fucking cuck. But that doesn't change the fact that people voted for him hoping he wasn't, and those people are worth having a discussion about.

Na. It's quite easy to draw parallels.
Of course MAGA twits aren't Nazis... well, at least not a majority of them. Nazis sure do march with them too.
And there's a reason for that.
The real Nazis aren't afraid to stand next to what they support.

They seem to be able to reliably get rockets into space.
Getting rockets up into space, at suborbital velocities- even easier.

So no, I'm quite sure their nuclear arsenal is still plenty operational.

You tell me, the term is defined in the text of the bill. What don't I understand?

(3) FOREIGN ADVERSARY CONTROLLED APPLICATION.--The term "foreign adversary controlled application" means a website, desktop application, mobile application, or augmented or immersive technology application that is operated, directly or indirectly (including through a parent company, subsidiary, or affiliate), by-
 
(A) any of--
(i) ByteDance, Ltd.;
(ii) TikTok;
 
(iii) a subsidiary of or a successor to an entity identified in clause (i) or (ii) that is controlled by a foreign adversary; or
 
(iv) an entity owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by an entity identified in clause (i), (ii), or (iii); or
 
(B) a covered company that--
 
(i) is controlled by a foreign adversary; and
(ii) that is determined by the President to present a significant threat to the national security of the United States following the issuance of--
 
(I) a public notice proposing such determination; and
(II) a public report to Congress, submitted not less than 30 days before such determination, describing the specific national security concern involved and containing a classified annex and a description of what assets would need to be divested to execute a qualified divestiture.

While I'm no lawyer I do have some experience with logical operations. If A is always true then it is not possible for 'A OR B' to ever evaluate to false. So no the president cannot in fact remove companies from the list.

The fact congress specified one specific company and has an entirely separate regime for adding any other companies means the company they added was singled out for special treatment not applicable to anyone else.

It would be one thing to create a TikTok bill and never mention TikTok but when you have materially different inclusion criteria for one named organization that isn't treating everyone the same.
