Arguably, there would be decent historic precedent for excommunicating Vance RIGHT NOW.

I will also point out that the idea of a pre-tribulation Rapture is not biblically well-supported, and was pretty much made up out of whole cloth by dispensationalists in England as a way to make the idea of a doctrine focused on Revelation more palatable (“see, you’ll be taken to heaven in secret one day before all this happens”). It’s taken a LOT more root in America than it did in Europe, to the point that it’s mainstream doctrine among a lot of churches (thanks Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins for doing that, you weird fucks).

He pardoned a literal war criminal. Eddie Gallagher shot at civilians so much his team fucked with his sniper equipment to make sure at least his first shot or two missed, to give people time to get away.

7, but yes, he’s said that he’s the same person he was in first grade.

Yeah, this should’ve been going since at least the ICE bullshit started, at latest. One resolution fails? Another one, right then. Keep it going, constantly, Enemy At The Gates style. Make them defend the position, make them justify it to their supporters.

Trans people all over the US still go to Thailand and similar markets because to literally fly to another country, get bottom surgery, spend the 3-6 month recovery period there, and THEN fly back to the US is STILL cheaper and faster than trying to get it done here.

The issue is that these surgical robots are a goldmine for companies specializing in medical devices. I work for one. They look fancy, they’re available to buy on loan if you can’t afford the several million dollars, and they sound modern.

Meanwhile, the instruments are not cross-compatible (meaning you can’t run Medtronic instruments on a US Medtech robot, for instance), so while they’re reusable and sterilizable (unlike most other handheld devices which are designed to be one-case-only), you have to buy a whole suite of endocutters, staplers, and whatever else you want that robot to be able to do in order to make it do that. PLUS there’s a proprietary computer system, an imaging system, the software to run those, often a televisual rig at the other end for the surgeon to run…you can get really pricey for these, real quick, and that’s not to mention the staple cartridges, the trocars, all sorts of stuff that can be proprietary.

Officially, they’re just housing them until their official removal procedures. Unofficially, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of these people aren’t disappearing into the slave trade as soon as it’s convenient.

It actually assumes that Iran doesn’t know the capabilities of its own neighbors, since a lot of Middle Eastern nations, including Israel, are operators of the F15.

Generally, “I did illegal thing because my lawyer advised me to do illegal thing (also I have power to compel my legal team to say whatever I want)” is not a GREAT defense.

Actually lowering prices would require regulation, and he’s built his entire corporate campaign on “we’re getting rid of every regulation”. Much easier to make them look lower in comparison.

Ah yes, the imprecatory Psalms.

Yeah, a hundred million people displacing to…wherever is going to put a lot of refugee crises to shame. Even a tenth of that would constitute a huge problem. I feel that this is Miller trying to pretext death camps and mass murder.

Nah, a lot of them want the kids part as well. Neonazism is fully alive and thriving in a lot of incel spaces, and as such an alarming amount of them are obsessed with continuing their race or whatever.

My work phone for my old job, lived at work. When I clocked off, unless management really wanted to go dragging my actual cell number out of my resume, I was unreachable. If it’s that much of an emergency, you can get someone else.

Yeah, I thought the larger body of evidence all but proves that it was a wet market source.

“Runs when parked”

Yeah, it would look like that Spetsnaz drop on Kyiv’s airport.

Engineering too. A huge chunk of my company’s design engineering staff are H-1B because you can get away with paying a lot less.

Nah, that’s a little too savvy for Trump directly. We can infer, from stories given to us, that he literally just sold secrets over the dinner table at Mar-A-Lago in his first term.
