So wait, what is your take here? Like what response should their be to this leak?

Start looking for smart objective people to hire. I know enough to know that I don’t know enough to make decisions in a vacuum. At the end of the day, the president is the face of the government, but the people behind him are what should really matter.

Noone would ever confuse me for someone who dresses for others. Lol

And sadly military prison is probably way better then where ICE puts the people they detain. Some days I am not sure humans deserve to continue to exist.

For the orders part, I believe there is a JAG hotline to call and get a “ruling” or advice. That would in theory take the legal ramifications of the decision off the guardsman. But I don’t know how well that actually works in practice. It is unlikely to be a smooth as it sounds since the person on the phone doesn’t want to put their skin on the line either.

Sure they could, but them everyone would take thier business to the company that didn’t. Who knows, maybe that is how we got fed ex and not some other company.

Well, when they sold it, conditions were one way. Then things changed. That pretty much invalidates the deal. Same as if your contractor opens up a wall and finds asbestos. It ain’t right, but blaming UPS is really blaming the victum in this case. This is all trumps doing. People even told them this would happen.

I’m not pro company or anything, but why should ups have to pay to do that. I would say they should give them to a third party to auction off, but since they didn’t clear customs, I can’t see how they could do that either.

People. Are what he says? They just do whatever they want anyway.

In this case though he said he was in a union. So committing to something sets precedent that can be used against the union. If there was no union involved, then I agree with you. I just suck at lieing.

Exactly, so winning the tug of war for the national guard is key. And court wins help do that.

While certainly true, we are fighting over the same military. And that military is oath bound to refuse illegal orders. So, the more judges that declare the orders illegal or declare an injunction against them, the more members of that military that will refuse orders.

Trump is known to turn on a dime against anyone who doesn’t do what he asks. Once he does that to military members refusing clearly illegal orders, more of them will refuse. So, every bit sets the stage for winning more and more of the military against the nazis.

Best case, JAG officers from a state national guard advise troops to ignore illegal orders, trump attempts to fire them, but doesn’t have the authority and he turns entire states worth of national guard completely against him. Then he orders other states guard to arrest them, and their JAG advises to ignore. So he orders the military to do it. And their JAG advises to ignore. Then he has lost the entirety of the military.

Dictators care about how they are perceived because they used skills in manipulating how they are perceived to get into the position they are in. Making it a self selecting group. But when you change “how” they get there to simply be that they were given superpowers at birth, you remove the self selection. So now it is just a random sampling of the population, which in my opinion skews toward not caring as much about how they are percieved if they don’t need to.

There are certainly people who do. But I think they are the minority. They do sort of bunch up though. So if you are one, you probably don’t realize you are the minority.

That is too much of a commitment. Should end with I’ll consider that, or I’ll look into that.

Sadly, if it is in the cloud, it can get hacked far more easily than on your local. But neither is really safe. And very few people can stomach what they would have to do to improve thier odds.

Nope, cause pharmaceutical company would produce a drug that you take for a short time and never need again. Not enough profit. And they would have no actual control over the superheros. In the boys, all of the sups seemed to care what the public thought of them so much, they would do what the corp wanted. In reality, the ones who didn’t care would outnumber the ones who did. And they would just kill whoever they wanted, and threaten to kill others to get what they wanted. Kinda like the oligarchy we have today, but with far less constraint, and no need to even try to hide things like being pedos and racists and such.

My first thought was how does one women box them in? And if it was more than 1, how was only 1 injured…

I agree, probably a traffic jam, someone entered an intersection and could not go all the way through because of traffic, so that “boxed” them in. That person was probably a conservative that wanted to show off thier gun to ICE which they considered buddies. Thier buddies shot at them.

Would kinda be a bit hilarious if it turned out that way. Even better if the women was actually an offduty ICE agent. That would also explain why the lady isn’t in custody.

That’s a bit of a stretch. The take the job because of the power. It makes them feel better than everyone else. The desire to specifically hurt comes later. And I am sure our education system shares some blame. The ones I remember who became cops were always looked down on. Some are just born to want power over others. The rest are made by our system. Not sure what the split would be though.

Only workers are expected to be happy with good enough. The elite will never say the balance of thier bank account is good enough. And thus companies always need to grow bigger.
