Where did they confirm the rifle? Initial reporting was an AK-47 and a scope, then I heard AR type (whatever that means). I was dubious on an actual AK (not AKM or 74), and am very surprised on an sks. This guy was gonna make a 4-500 yard shot with an SKS??? And it must have been a modified or later paratrooper model, because I don't think they had scope mounts on regular SKS, not even the side mount bracket. It has been so long since I had my "Big 5 sports" $99 SKS, but I don't think I could hit a head shot at 400 yards with 7.62 on my best day.

You can just go to the Federal Register. TPS is a special status that has a maximum 16 month expiration. It is allocated by the President via Homeland security. It has to be renewed every 16 months. The first renewal under Trump was July, 2017 for 6 months, then a renewal in January, 2018 and again in July, 2019.

Trump himself gave them legal status 3 times during his presidency. This charade needs to end, we all need to vote and shame the morons who are keeping this asshole relevant.

Well, if Iran can send missiles to Russia, I don't see why we can't do the same. I bet we have a few thousand extra Tomahawks that could be delivered to Russia via the Ukrainian delivery service.

If we can't change the court, why not force them into an ideological corner? Challenge the law that artificially limits the size of the house on Constitutional grounds. By going originalist thinking, the house should have 1 rep per lowest population state. This would allow higher population states to massively increase the number of representatives. The electoral collage number is Constitutionally based on the number of senators (2) per state, plus the number of representatives. This allows all votes to be equal.

I think the USN could spare 4-500 Tomahawks. Send those over and see how well Putin's airfields fare with that.

Maybe they can sue for billions. Gawker got sued out of existence, I hope she gets some good US attorneys and files in a jurisdiction that has unlimited damages. Maybe we can all use the new "K" platform after she owns "X".

I think you got the decimal wrong there. It should be 198,838 Miles per hour.

Great, now I have the theme to "Westworld" stuck in my head.

Amazing! An appearance of "track suit slav" in 2024.

And for God's sake, don't mention cake.

Good news. I hope Marvel has learned that we don't want poorly written, extended 6 hour movie that are cut up into "episodes" That has been the downfall of most of the Disney+ series so far, they just feel like a movie that has not been edited down to a watchable time. The Netflix Daredevil at least felt like a proper series with character development and a story to tell.

 

Happy Holidays to you all! Get bent, FOX news. Let everyone celebrate the season. Now, I am off to prepare for Festivus at my house.
