That would be a drone. It was surveying the boat and used for target guidance and battle damage assessment. The weapons fire would be coming from a separate aircraft.

Also the https://stdgun.com/dp-12-2/ DP 12 from Standard Manufacturing. It alternates both shells from each magazine and is even more unreliable than a Kel-tec KSG

It’s a great idea, KelTec just needs to iron out the bugs.

Congratulations! You just described the entire premise of Kel-Tec firearms corp.

Did I just find Bret Michaels Lemmy account?

Killing anyone sucks, and in some sort of fairy tale land, we wouldn’t need to. Captain Kelly was a pilot of an A6 Intruder (low and slow old jet from the 60’s) during the first Gulf war. That war started when an autocratic leader decided to invade his smaller neighbor that he owned money to, after a seven year slog trying to kill his other neighbor (Iran). Saddam used mustard gas on Iran, his own people and was trying to murder any Kuwaiti he could get his hands on. Kuwait had a defense treaty with the US, and that was back when we didn’t bail on treaties like with the Orange Cheeto. Then President Bush (the father) did not invade Iraq, attempt regime change, or wholesale bomb civilian areas. Don’t get me wrong, Bush Sr. Was a shitheel and the weasel son of another rich asshole, but removing Iraq from Kuwait was justified and did not toss out international law through lying and manipulation like the second Iraq war.

Not just a Captain, but a god-damned American hero. He flew dozens of combat missions in Iraq, has the distinguished flying cross and more medals and awards than “punch bowl” Pete can even imagine. He went on to be a Navy test pilot and then to NASA as an astronaut and eventually mission commander of a space shuttle mission. Mark and his twin brother Scott,(also an astronaut) have performed important science in space and on earth, benefiting all man kind.

I expect the federal attorney in this matter will be prosecuted for fraud, if found that they subverted the indictment process. I believe she swears an oath to the magistrate that receives the indictment that the bill is proper and true. Hopefully a disbarment is on the horizon also.

It almost never happens. Grand jury materials and transcripts are secret. A defense attorney has to climb a very large hill to get access to any of these materials.

The US immigration system is a complete joke. You can not get legal status or have a path to citizenship if you entered illegally. People who had Visa’s revoked or stayed past expiration have to leave the country voluntarily, then re apply after a set amount of time, typically 10 years. If you re enter illegally after deportation, it is 20 years.

Edit: I forgot to answer your first question. There is no argument against deportation. Most reasonable people would, and have, argued that the immigration system needs overhauled to allow people to work towards citizenship or legal status. It is and has always been a clusterfuck of paperwork and arcane rules. The main argument is how you deport people. Here are several examples: ICE raids a Georgia/ South Korea venture billion dollar solar panel factory. They show up with dressed as para military, full swat gear and arrest 300 South Koreans at the plant. Handcuff and parade the workers out to detention, then deported. The workers legally entered the country with B1 business Visas. They are not here to take an American job, but to set up equipment and train the US workers in the new venture that is slated to open next year. The Trump administration argues that they should have had H1b Visa’s instead and made a big show of a raid. The detention conditions are also terrible. Not one of these workers will ever come back to the US, and we may have stifled foreign investment in the future. The simple solution is to contact the Korean corporate office and convert everyone to a different Visa. Many other companies have used B1 in the past, and if they want to change interpretation, so be it, but to go about it like a raid on a terrorist cell is ridiculous.

Example 2: ICE raids a South Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night. They repelled from Blackhawks, had drones and used 300 federal agents dressed as paramilitary soldiers. They kicked in doors and used flashbangs and tear gas. All residents of the 130 unit building were detained, including children, outdoors and with little to no clothes. In the end, they arrested 37 illegals, of which no one has found a criminal record for. No one has been charged for any crime. Multiple Venezuelans were deported out of the 37, for a civil offense (not criminal).

You are correct that this is a legal means of entry. This falls under a designated portion of US code. An asylum seeker must turn themselves immediately in to border enforcement. They are then processed and released into the country, pending a hearing. People with this status are not “illegals”, despite what this administration is trying to say. They are grabbing US citizens, legal status asylum seekers, legal residents with misdemeanors(like driving offences), and a very small percentage of actual criminals that need to be deported.

Yes, entry into the US at a place other than a designated place and time, misrepresentation or concealment of facts is a misdemeanor crime under US code. Simply being in the US illegally is a civil violation and specifically not a crime, the remedy is deportation. Around 50% of people in the US illegally did not cross the board illegally.

I really want disbarment for these morons, but will take disqualifying them for now.

Nice one! A reference for history nerds. For anybody that doesn’t get it, look up The Teapot Dome scandal. Then, look up all the things that used to get politicians tossed out before a cult took over American politics. Prepare to be depressed.

So essentially; The cops think there is a meth lab in a low income apartment building. This seems reasonable with some circumstantial evidence. To solve the problem, they kill all the residents of the building, light it on fire, and burn it to the ground. No evidence is left and innocent people may have been killed, but that somehow isn’t a problem for the people in charge?

I 'member. The best thing was that the nut bags were all afraid of a FEMA “army”, not even the literal army that Trump is trying to send.

I don’t understand. CIA coup’s have always worked out well in South and Central America, right? I am pretty sure the US has a great track record of interfering in Latin countries. I definitely don’t forsee this all ending badly. Now, where are those Epstein files?

About $50 million dollars US. That is kind of deceptive, though. The USS Ford costs about 7 million a day to operate, but this is a continuing cost, as she is on current active deployment, that cost is there, no matter the zone of responsibility. A carrier also does not travel alone, but with a strike group. This varries according to mission, but she will probably transit with at least three Arleigh Burke destroyers and likely a nuke powered Ticonderoga Cruiser and Virginia class submarine. The tender and replenishment ships will probably stay with The 6th fleet, based in Italy. It will also be likely that another carrier and replacement ships will fill in at 6th fleet for the Ford strike group. A good guess is that this whole thing will cost upwards of $75 million a week, depending on work load and ammunition expenditures.

Welp, I guess R.Kelly is next up.

You might be surprised. I just bought a 2001 Toyota Tundra, super reliable Toyota, right? These list between $7-25k in my area with around my milage (180k). I got a super good deal on it, and it was in good visual inspection. Well, now I can’t find a timing belt sticker and the previous owner didn’t have a book of receipts. Toyota dealer wants $3500 to do the timing belt, something that has to be done every 80-100k miles or you have a ticking time bomb. There are only two independent shops that I would trust in my town, but have a two month wait almost all the time. I can do the job myself and have the tools, but most people would not be able to. Luckily for me, it is to replace my 03 Dodge truck with 350k miles on it, as that is just getting too expensive to keep running. I have already got new shocks, brakes, ball joints, center bearing, and full tune up. I already have over $3k in parts, with “free” labor. For me, this is worth it, but to the average person, you could easily have shop bills over $20k on a “reliable” vehicle that they paid around $10k for. That is a tall order for the majority of lower income people out there.

That’s all fine and dandy there, Kyle. But have you ever tried doing real science as taught by the “The Institute for Creation Science”? They have so called journal articles and are definitely doing real Science, it’s right in the name. You just need to adjust your definitions of “Science” and “Scientific Journal” and “facts”. I am definitely trusting people who took bus loads of drugs or were dropped on their heads as babies to provide us with sound scientific information.
