This is so....unimpressive?

Unfortunately the US has a terrible history of delivering "justice".

I'm surprised they didn't pick Portland, OR.

A Minnesota-based wilderness protection group is sounding the alarm that a nearly-overturned mining ban in the U.S. will open the door to copper-sulfide mining — a move they say risks leaking sulfuric acid into shared Boundary Waters at the Canadian border, including Quetico Provincial Park and the Lake Superior watershed in northwestern Ontario. That ecosystem sprawls across the Minnesota-Ontario border, which sits about 160 km southwest of Thunder Bay. On the US side, it measures about 4450 square kilometres — roughly the size of Woodland Caribou Provincial Park — and is adjacent to about 240 km of the Canadian border. Recently, Congressional Republicans sent U.S. President Donald Trump a resolution to lift the federal ban on mining near the BWCA, and it narrowly passed Senate last week. Watchers expect the move will clear the final hurdle — a signature from President Trump — and give a subsidiary of Chile-based Antofagasta Minerals the green light to extract copper, nickel and other precious metals at the headwaters of the national forest. According to Marshall, copper-sulphide mining like that proposed, "creates sulfuric acid, which is chemically the same as battery acid and creates an enormous amount of battery acid that's virtually impossible to contain."

WTF! I don’t think so.

The federal government tried to Kilmar five kids and their mom over the weekend, but all the news wants to talk about is Ethan Allen or whoever crashing some stupid fancy party smh

Pune Realty real estate market has witnessed remarkable growth over the past decade, driven by its thriving IT sector, strong infrastructure development, and rising demand for modern urban living. Localities such as Hinjewadi Phase 3, Wakad, Bavdhan, and nearby regions have become hotspots for premium residential developments, offering a blend of luxury, connectivity, and lifestyle amenities.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R.-La., is forging ahead with his latest proposal to renew a key American spy power. His bill, revealed Thursday, is largely unchanged from a previous plan which failed in a series of overnight votes earlier this month. The program at center of the debate, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), is set to expire on April 30. FISA 702 allows U.S. intelligence agencies to intercept the electronic communications of foreign nationals located outside of the United States. Some of the nearly 350,000 foreign targets whose communications are collected under the provision are in touch with Americans, whose calls, texts and emails could end up in the trove of information available to the federal government for review.

Maybe... There have been so many times we've said x event was the Reichstag Fire. And sure, I'm not denying it could be this time, but I don't think we should automatically call it such yet. I'm willing to admit they've tried to make other events be that catalyst, but thus far, it has largely failed. At least in the sense of the transition to complete autocratic dictatorship they want. They've absolutely made enough progress and damage to be very dangerous in other ways, but they are clearly wanting a full dictatorship.

I was glad to see how see how many world records it got. His team deserves them all.

I can't wait to see the new Iran lego dis track about this staged event.

"spam" I guess because they tried to post a photo to this comm instead of a news article.

Same. [image: b3d8fff7-eabb-4391-ab10-8155e6435dca.webp]

The US people should be building a parallel justice system for Thiel and his ilk.

It is. Mossad has copies of everything. The conspiracy she has a body double and can leave the country for days on end while "in prison" isn't really far fetched. Not even remotely challenging for Mossad; the audacity is what people tend to have a problem believing.

We gotta keep Hubble working for another dozen years or two, at least until we (Humanity; I don't care which country or bloc) gets a telescope on the far side of the Moon. I hope Jared Issacman's plan for a private servicing mission to Hubble using SpaceX hardware pops back up now that he's NASA Administrator.

Why would his ear cartilidge have been shattered if the bullet just grazed over the top of the helix of his ear? https://xcancel.com/David_Leavitt/status/1817386288749633869 2 weeks after the shooting: [image: 4c707ed7-1dcc-4b1e-90d4-a223bd3b5d96.webp] The helix of his ear is perhaps uncommon in that it is nearly flat when viewed from side on, where most people's ear's helix are more convex, more curved. The bullet did not actually punch through any part of his ear. The shooter was at an elevation barely any higher that the elevation Trump was standing at on a raised platform, so the shot came from his from his from right, essentially flat trajectory. The bullet barely grazed the section of his ear that is here, 2 weeks later, still showing a bunch of burst capillaries. Its essentially a serious abrasion wound, not a puncture or blunt impact wound. This is what you would expect from essentinally holding a drill bit covered in ~160 grit sand paper, rotating at ~280,000 rpm, just barely touching your ear, for a tiny fraction of a second. The images from during the shooting are 100% consistent with this area as the origin point for the blood that streamed down his ear and parts of his face. Blood trickles downward, thanks to gravity, and covered portions of his ear, that many people seem to think are parts of his ear that got totally obliterated, punched out, by the bullet. But that isn't what happened. You could see by day 7 that no major portion of the interior of his ear had been obliterated. https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/20/donald-trump-rally-bandage-bandaid-bullet-injured/ One week after the shooting: [image: 7570f26f-bac5-4225-b424-64e326c3726d.webp] Had the interior of his ear been punched out, he'd still be wearing a very large bandage covering much of his ear, to prevent potential infection getting into the punched out hole. But there was no punched out hole, so this was not necessary. Also, his ear would not have been entirely purple from the scenario I am describing. That is what you would expect if somebody gave a left hook to his ear, or smacked it with an almanac or something like that: a blunt force injury across the entire ear, that would have broken so many capillaries that he'd have blood pooling internally (ie, bruising) throughout the ear. ... but that is not what happened. As to him not standing up... Trump would have been able to hear the much closer to him counter sniper firing off rounds toward the would be assasin. He's a showman. Wants to be famous, wants to be admired, knows the value of good PR, even if his idea of what constitutes good PR is quite often deranged.

The driver is Trump's malignant narcissism and sociopathy. His racism also had something to do with it. Even if Obama had said nothing, Trump would still be on a rampage.
