Ukraine only has to outlast Putin and with the glacial pace of Russias advances I believe they will.

That's completely backwards.

Barring Putin dying from stroke or other natural causes, the Russians have every advantage in a stalemate.

Even if we offered full-throated support of Ukraine militarily, they saw the Afghan pull out.... they can wait us out too.

Meanwhile it looks like those Russia attacks this weekend were not a one off. They are preparing something big

Well, those particular planes aren't going to Magnitogorsk (otherwise known as Tankograd).

However, that particular path leads over the most important towns in their S military (Siberian) district: Tyumen (missile command), Chelyabinsk (arms and research), Omsk (coal and steel), and the Novosibirsk (oil and gas).

And, if you go far enough east on that general path (with refueling) you will end up at Kondyor Massif. That's Putin's personal platinum mine hidden within the corporation of Norilsk which was one 'corporations' that emerged from the MVD gulags.

But, because of all above... 6 cargo planes (people are cargo too) flying that path are nothing. If I had to guess it is an early summer run to bases after a long hard winter. Probably command rotations.

Let’s do work visas next. If an American is qualified for the job, it should be illegal to hire someone not an American citizen.

I tried to get a work visa in Australia off and on for 10 years.

I was denied for that very reason- there was a Bruce who could do the job.

So I ended up in shitholes instead.

Didn't care, got drunk and nekkid anyway.

We have every right to stop all immigration. In any form.

yep, and the constitution gives that power almost exclusively to the executive.

Except for this little statement on the Statue of Liberty you fricking moron.

I do not believe that constitutes law, much less congressional authority extended to enforce a law.

Well... given that if there is a chance of probable violence, and that begets a chance of probably defending oneself,

indeed. That's why the 2nd amendment exists, to protect the others.

These Christians chose another path as is their right. Which means they chose, to Vader's point, to rely on the government as guarantor of those rights. Government failed in their duty. Which happens and why they chose poorly.

But it was worse than that, also to Vader's point.. the government purposefully put them in that position. That is a whole other dynamic now.

Now, to defend yourself, you must defend yourself against your local government. That is tyranny.

And that is now the Feds job to correct that and act as guarantors if the state does not act promptly.

ETA: if we apply the Trump Standard, here's what should happen using recent legal sessions as a guideline:

1. Fed district judge in Mississippi should issue an injunction against all Seattle officials and demand that they temporarily hand over all governance to Tom Homen

2. Those same officials should be indicted for incitement of the attackers in a Wyoming court.

3. All the Antifa members in the park, whether they threw anything or not should be indicted and held in that same Wyoming district until a plea deal can be discussed (massive backlog didn't you hear?) in 2028.

Sergie Brin, Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, Pierr Omidiyar... all immigrants, who have created economic value and jobs in this country.

LEGAL migrants.

Not illegal immigrants.

They were given a [due] process and followed it.

I think we've forgotten another, Jenny McCarthy.

They probably should have canceled rather than using that antifa park.

Seattle put them in that park.

The desired results were almost achieved. Almost in the sense there were no deaths.

Seems like a commutation was in order (barring real exculpatory evidence) so that they stayed felons.

I want to know what DOJ recommendation was and why... I think for a pardon there should be an explanation.

The reason why I want to know DOJ recommendation is if they saw actions/rulings from judge that gave them pause.

IF they did, let's hear it, we deserve more info on those type judges. If not, shame on them.
