I think people who praise Singapore just want an example of dictatorship that isn't a complete nightmare.

Not to Trump anyway. The pre-Trump pattern was that presidents generally win them

I gotcha. I hope someone has FOIA'd the autopsy report then

Probably better to see if you can find the autopsy report, or failing that a well informed analysis of the video, than try to do forensics yourself
I remember the MythBusters using ballistics gel a lot - but it's an approximation. Of muscle, not bone

If religious colleges had more leeway than non-religious, that would be an establishment clause violation IMO.
First Amendment only binds the government - private business violates it all the time

Lots of private universities have clearly anti-free speech and anti-freedom of religion rules already: Liberty, Bob Jones, etc etc

Could, but would the SC strike down the injunction using the shadow docket? Probably IMO

CBS is owned by a larger corporation that wants governmental special treatment. CBS as a business is smaller and less important to them
This is also how media in Hungary, Turkey & some other places works

Most were Trump officials (except Brennan)
It's like Putin being more likely to poison traitors (eg defecting Russian spies) than enemies
Trump's very focused on keeping his followers in line

Israel and Hamas agree to 'first phase' of plan to end fighting and release hostages, Trump says President Donald Trump says Israel and Hamas have agreed to the โ€œfirst Phaseโ€ of his peace plan to pause fighting and release at least some hostages and prisoners.

Not just Trump says anymore - apparently. The article reports statements from Netanyahu & Hamas. I hope the end of the fighting holds - and food is let into Gaza

All I know is workers who lost high-paying industrial jobs in major layoffs usually ended up in significantly lower-paying jobs later
Whether that's insufficient training opportunities or because training is ineffective, IDK

ICE is sending people to a prison in Africaโ€™s only absolute monarchy Inside the โ€œlegal black holeโ€ in Eswatini, where Trump is sending detainees.

NEW: A copy of the arrangement with Eswatini that Mother Jones reviewed shows that the US has agreed to pay the only absolute monarchy in Africa $5.1 million to take in up to 160 ICE detainees.

Reality is that Trump hasn't been deporting that many farmworkers. ICE is focusing on cities.
Because they know ICE raids hurt whatever community they're aimed at

To the end of taking away the court's legitimacy and power. They only have power because people obey their Calvinball rulings for some reason - out of habit, I guess

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of โ€ฆ complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, theyโ€™re sniping priests for sport.
