Might consider a Chevy Bolt; half the price of the F150 and you're not lugging around an extra engine like the Prius.

Stories like this are why I'm afraid to seek psychiatric treatment.

As justification to shoot left-wing protestors.

In the (in my opinion unlikely) event of Trump being indited, we're likely to see a wave of small to medium sized terrorist attacks by MAGA fanatics against police and infrastructure across the country. It's going to be worse than anything in our history short of the Civil War.

And the EPA, which clearly isn't in the pocket of big business and can be trusted to protect the public's interest!

(/s, to the power of infinity)

This whole bank debacle is making me think of the old Simpsons gag with the pig at barbecue. "It's just one bank failing, the economy's still good...! It's just a few small banks shut down, it's still good, it's still good...! It's just a major bank begging for help, it's still good, it's still good...!"

It's entirely possible to do the right thing for horrible reasons.

Anyone else thinking of the Spy Vs Spy picture where they're shaking hands and holding bombs and things behind their backs?

US prisons are nothing but forced labor camps, with a fair bit of random beatings and torture thrown in to keep the 'guards' entertained.

Don't forget the part where they go after your surviving family, either to keep them quiet or just for the hell of it.

>the Arizona Supreme Court claimed the Supreme Court ruling didn't apply in Arizona.

In other words, the Arizona Supreme Court doesn't understand how the US Federal Justice System works.

Yes and no. Sometimes the vaccines we come up with are much more effective than natural antibodies, sometimes less so. It's a bit of a hit-and-miss process.

I wonder how long until this one turns up dead.

Old maritime tradition; thanks to a childhood obsessed with pirates and an adulthood of sci-fi ships, I always refer to vehicles as 'she', especially actual ships.

She was being transferred to a scrap yard to have all that done when they realized she wouldn't make it and had to scuttle her, so I highly doubt it.

>Tapping a single leader “unifies and elevates the program while removing redundancies, enabling the agency to oversee human food in a more effective and efficient way,” Califf said.

In other words, they're slashing the part of the government that makes sure our foods aren't made entirely of pesticides and lead, and calling it a "streamlining" and "a boost to efficiency".

No way that wasn't done in order to let the dirty cop off the hook; the DA wants to be able to claim to the public that they brought charges, but not piss off the cops.

"Owned and operated by a hostile foreign power" should be evidence enough.

I legit thought there was another outage for a second there.

They kind of have to; confirmed Russian sabotage of a pipeline between two NATO nations, on NATO soil, would more or less necessitate WWIII.

Because no one would use it. Much like Russia and China, the Saudis want to extend their influence across the world, and taking over the largest and most widely used free source of information on the web would be a huge step in that direction.

Well yeah, they're trying to get blood from a stone as it is, they can hardly increase prices at this point.

Republican Prosecutors: "I'm going to ignore that."

Not surprising; "Tough Love" is just code for "Torturing Children Until They Follow Orders".

Well, we can't get things perfect, guess we should stop trying at all then. /s
