This may be more pronounced, but this has been going on for at least 15 years and probably longer. I only say 15 years because that is how long I have been working with satellite imagery that easily shows these boundaries. They show up as obvious lines of light in nighttime visible satellite imagery.

Maine, notorious hotbed for illegal immigration and violence from undocumented immigrants. Definitely an efficient use of valuable ICE resources.

Wait, you mean it has nothing to do with immigration enforcement?

My bet is that, even if she is impeached and convicted, she will remain in office E just like Lindsay Halligan. None of these shit stains are going anywhere without being physically removed.

If she is impeached, they’re going to do the same thing as with the court order against Lindsay Halligan. They’re going to ignore the order until forced.

What the fuck? After I heard about the previous court ruling I figured that would be the end of it. They’re just flatly ignoring the judge on this? If I were a jljudge, I’d start tossing all cases brought by the eastern district of VA until she is no longer leading the division.

Can you imagine a world where abducting Trump wasn’t seen as an actor of war by just about everyone in the US? I wouldn’t be upset to see Trump hung as a traitor, but if Canada came in and abducted him, I’m fairly sure I’d see it as a breech of our sovereignty. I’d actually be pretty conflicted at that point…

Because the post specified code from 1969.

Fortran 66 isn’t too bad. You have to write everything yourself but if you’re just maintaining it is normally fine. Gotos get annoying, though!

I’ve always struggled with this one for some reason…

This is a ridiculous comparison. They note the reasons that it is ridiculous in the article but continue to make the comparison anyway. To give a little perspective, the US is 72nd in the world for mortality rate. The mortality rate in the US is lower than many other developed countries like the UK, Germany, and Japan. Each of these countries has a higher median age than the US.

Mortality rate is effected by many factors but it appears thst the strongest correlation is likely with median age.

The US certainly has an extremely messed up health care system and problems with obesity and drug use but those don’t appear to be the driving factor behind why the US has a higher mortality rate than Iraq and Afghanistan.

Ummm, that was the point when they voted him in I tuink. It’s just that, as Trump becomes more unpopular, Johnson is losing his usefulness.

Watch the supreme court disagree.

Yes, billionaire’s money is largely tied up. They could structure how their earnings are managed, though. Musk sees much faster growth than would be expected from a conservative growth portfolio. If he were invested for conservative growth though, at an average interest rate of 5-6% and he gave away only his interest he could give every person experiencing homelessness in the US $50k/year forever.

He could easily structure things in such a way to make that happen.

So, get this. The 20 wealthiest people in the US hold a collective $3T according to Forbes. In 2025, just under 800,000 Americans experienced homelessness during the year. That means that the 20 wealthiest people in the country could give $3.75M to every homeless person in the country. By giving away only 10% of their wealth, they could give every person who experienced homelessness $375k.

Now, I don’t necessarily think that giving large amounts of money directly to people who are experiencing homelessness but $375k per person would do a LOT of good if put into a trust whose entire job is to fund programs to help the less fortunate.

Also, there are a lot of problems in this country that could benefit from funding. I’m just giving numbers as food for thought. These billionaires are hoarding wealth to such an obscene degree that they could essentially end homelessness in the US with 10% of their wealth.

Hell, if he could liquidate all of his assets (not possible, I know) Elon Musk could essentially solve the homelessness problem single-handedly.

You believe that North Korea actually is electrified but they just avoid light pollution? They are among the least electrified countries in the world.

Everything that comes out of his mouth is beneath the office.

When he says something awful like this, though, I figure there is probably another story that he’s trying to bury with manufactured outrage. I suspect Fox is on board and is with amplifying the non-news item to bury the real news item.

How many defense contractors contributed to the ballroom?

The shirt should be bigger, no?

I wouldn’t normally say this but it seems warranted in a thread about “Factism”. Trump did not win over 50% of the popular vote. He won with 49.8% in 2024 and 46.1% in 2016.

100% agreed. This junk does nothing but make us look dumb. It’s just bad rage bait.
