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.

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.

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".

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.

Oh, look, more war crimes from Russia.

It was an insurrection in 1861, and an insurrection in 2021.

The answer is zero. I went to a school like this on the west coast, the same graduating year. We did have a black foreign exchange student, at least one year. To be fair, Nikki's father taught at Voorheers college (a historically black institution), and her mom taught at a public school. Her mom started a boutique woman's clothing store that Nikki worked in.
