Utah lawmakers are planning to convene in an unexpected special session this Tuesday. Why? To move the filing deadline for congressional candidates, to give the GOP more time to appeal the ruling that created a Dem seat.

and Erik Prince & his companies.

SpaceX as well.

By the way, we’re gonna need to do this fast. Everybody in Silicon Valley with a clearance needs to piss in a cup within 48 hours of the new Democratic administration taking office.

Well I'm glad you were online & noticed my comment. You're an actual fountain of relevant info. <tips cap> TYSVM. Will share this info.

Thx again!

people wearing respirators pour liquids on tear gas canisters that they have covered with orange traffic cones. caption: Protesters try to extinguish tear gas canisters during a demonstration in Wan Chai neighbourhood in Hong Kong on August 11, 2019. Thomas Peter / Reuters

These are pyrotechnic devices. In other words, they get extremely hot. Light plastic might collapse.

In Hong Kong, in 2019, they started using traffic cones to contain the gas and then would pour water on it to douse the devices. They got very fast! :) Like so:

Made In America: For $9.50 An Hour, They Brew Tear Gas For Hong Kong's Police A BuzzFeed News investigation found low-paid American workers producing tear gas in potentially dangerous conditions. It's then shipped to Hong Kong, where it's used against pro-democracy protesters.

I wonder if a Danish butter cookie tin would work?

Good point! I'll adjust my comments to suggest this method. Thanks!

Feds gassed and tackled people in Elgin today, the same day Kristi Noem was in Chicago for a Christmas photo op, after a few weeks of relative quiet.

I'm remembering that old story about groundskeepers at Versailles who would only turn the palace fountains on when the king came by.

ICE's "one weird trick" is that it's a civil enforcement agency vested with "quasi" powers.

ICE uses police powers while claiming that bcz. they're "civil enforcement" the laws, rules, regs, prohibitions & constitutional protections established for "criminals" don't apply to or restrain ICE action

Gulf Coast train line is among the most successful in Amtrak’s history. See ridership totals. The route’s early success has raised hope for some advocates of regional train travel. See how many people have taken the train since its launch in August.

Amtrak's restored service between New Orleans and Mobile has far exceeded initial ridership projections since launch in August, just like what happened when the Borealis service was established between Chicago and St. Paul last year.

Amtrak is currently expecting to double the first-year estimates.

We should call Trump's Cabinet the Temu Cabinet.

Have you ever read "Among the Thugs"?

I think Ron was making a joke about the idea of a FIFA peace prize in general cuz yeah, English fans are notorious for their rowdy, drunken, loutish behavior. Ever read "Among the Thugs"?

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

The priorities of senior Trump Administration officials…

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

If my cat wants something, she’ll come pet my face, and then bite my hand when I pet her back.
And what she wants is wild caught Louisiana shrimp individually quick frozen, size 51-70, microwaved for 33-35 seconds, and then cut into pieces.

The economy is losing jobs and prices are going up.

Trump's tariffs are economic arson, plain and simple.

Republicans could join with Democrats any day of the week to put an end to them.

Facts that are available for anyone to view.

Trump 1.0 left Biden the 9% inflation rate, and Biden had to work to get it down to 2.9% and handed it off to Trump 2.0, so he could and IS screw up our economy AGAIN.

It will get worse and will only be corrected with the removal of Trump in 2028.

This is nothing new at all. You ever look at historical newspapers?

DJT didn't write it. He "re-truthed" it.

Nuzzi is a shitty writer. Whoever was editing her past work deserves the kudos that were wrongly accorded to Nuzzi.

Funny, but I hadn't even considered this until I read your post.
