Oh noes, that would be a real loss for the US? I don't know about that, as country of 5.5 million people our trade impact on 60 times larger country will be always minor, but because of USA's sanctions which freeze lots of Russian's foreign assets and put restrictions on what can be traded with Russia, Finland is losing billions of dollars worth of trade and if USA starts to put heavy tarrifs for European products like for example cars it will cut our trade towards USA also with millions if not billions, so I would appreciate if Trump means to actually follow through his world wide trade war that he would lift those sanctions against Russia so that our economy would not take that big of a hit.

Hopefully Trump will drop sanctions against Russia, so that we can return to normal trade with Russia during trade war with USA.

By that definition it is safe to say that Trump will nominate another liberal justice (meaning yes man who consistently votes according to what State(Trump) wants) He didn't get that with Gorsuch. He sided against the government as both plaintiff & defendant three times this term. Any President wants a justice that will do what they are told. But that is not what their job is. "Is it legal?" If their answer is "no" they are going to rule against you no matter if you appointed them or not. Gorsuch is mostly supported state's view (trump's view which in some cases are against state view) in the travel/muslim ban (Trump v. Hawaii), in bakery denying (Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Comm'n), service, unions rights to collect fees from non-union members for their services (Janus v. AFSCME), he gave his support so that states may charge tax on purchases made from out-of-state sellers, even if the seller does not have a physical presence in the taxing state. (South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc.) and in case of National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra Gorsuch supported majority view that crisis pregnancy centers have right to lie and withhold information from their clients. He did go against state, in case in which the Court held drivers of rental cars have rights protecting them from unconstitutional searches by police, even if they are not listed on the rental agreement (Byrd v. United States), in that case court was unanimous in their decision. and in case in which the Court held that the Fourth Amendment prevented Border Patrol officers from conducting warrantless, suspicionless searches of private vehicles removed from the border or its functional equivalent. (United States v. Ortiz) again court was unanimous in their decision.

By that definition it is safe to say that Trump will nominate another liberal justice (meaning yes man who consistently votes according to what State(Trump) wants)

It is difficult to say if Red Hen that started the uproar is suffering as they are closed until July 5, as they seem to have schedulled summer break, but some media outlets say that they have longer break than usually, but can't say if that is true. Other restaurants in USA that are also named as Red Hen have faced protests, even though there is no Red Hen franchise they are just private business that by change have same name. There are protesters in Lexington, that mostly support Trump who have caused road blocks and thrown chicken **** over Red Hen and caused other kinds of disturbance in Lexington. There are no reliable sources that restaurant owner or its employeers started to harash Sanders after she was asked to leave, all the mentions about it are days later of initial news, but after Fox news mentioned it, claims are repeated so many times that it issue has become so muddy that there isn't really way to tell what is real and what has been invented by media outlets and social media users. Red Hen's owner did resign from her position in bussiness group that focuses to promote Lexington's downtown area because she felt that news about her, Red Hen, Sanders and Trump's tweets would compromise said bussiness group's efforts to promote Lexington and she felt that it isn't right that other bussiness owners suffer because of her actions.

They must be here under visa or green card. I don't think one can simply walk into Mordor land in Miami international airport and chill out for the rest of their lives. That is true, but it is quite easy to find services that help apply long stay visas and green card or some other permanent visas. In case of Finnish retirees there are even some cities in Florida where you can find those services in Finnish like for example Lake Worth. Although these days Florida has lost its popularity as first choice of retairement destination to Portugal and Spain which both offer ten years of tax free living (with certain conditions) for retairees from other countries.

Florida seems to be quite accepting towards retirees who get their pension from foreign pension funds. Like for example there are 25000 Finnish retirees with permament residence without need to seek USA citizenship (which would cut their right to get pension from Finland's pension funds). Of course such retairees are somewhat special case of immigrants as they not only bring money with them but also create local jobs.

Only specific type of cake (wedding cake), which by chance was type of cake that said gays were ordering from bakery specialiced on wedding cakes. Although Supreme court didn't say that baker had right to deny his services but that Colorado's civil rights commission showed religious hostility towards him and didn't give him fair hearing. There are also couple other cases of denying services in same-sex weddings (florist and photo grapher) which lead some GOP majority states introduce legistative measures to ensure bussiness right to deny people services on moral/religious grounds. Colorado case got publicity because it had potential to lessen states rights to give protection towards discrimation on moral/religious reasons, but supreme court decided not to give out their stance on the subject.

Nah, I'm pretty sure he's Lawful Evil Considering that God put Devil charge of punishing people who have gone against God's laws, because Devil wanted freedom from God's rule I am not sure if Devil is even evil

The Tampa Bay Times reports Bondi received a police escort Friday when several members of Organize Florida confronted her as she left a Tampa theater after seeing "Won't You Be My Neighbor" about Mr. Rogers. The demonstrators questioned Florida joining a lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act and Bondi's general support of President Donald Trump's immigration policies. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-attorney-general-pam-bondi-confronted-mr-rogers-movie/ http://orgfl.org/about_us "Organize Florida Organize Florida is a community-based, nonprofit member organization of low and moderate income people dedicated to the principles of social, racial, and economic justice and the promotion of an equal and fair Florida for all.

"Imagine if banks were to say you can't purchase books or certain books aren't acceptable." They already do.

no i don't remember that because that was not the case. What do you mean by "that was not the case" exactly? You had a rest button. You click the button, you rest, your health and spells are restored. No fuss. You didn't have to but you could. There were some areas where resting was disabled and some areas where there was change for random mosters to appear. And there was also couple timed quests which had possibility to fail if you took too long. But most of the time rest button was full heal and get spells back without any consequences button which was there only for roleplay purposes and to give players ability to decide if they want additional difficulty or not.

No irony, if Muharrim Ince wins it would certainly be a revolution given how entrenched the AKP is. If they go to a 2nd round he has a decent chance too since every candidate who isn't Erdogan seems to hate Erdogan, including the islamists and conservatives who should be his allies. A narrow first round victory would still mean 50% of the vote for Erdogan, and it's all he needs for his program. I'm sure he'd like Putin numbers for bragging rights, but a win is a win. I think that smjames thought that you meant incel (involuntary celibates) revolution

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/floatdown-sarnia-americans-wash-ashore-1.3730792 Two years old article, that I come across today,, about 1500 illegal aliens from USA to Canada, it is quite funny to think how greatful they must be these days that Canada isn't like USA where they would have been hold from cople weeks to indefinitely for their crime of crossing broder improperly. For perspective article from yesterday https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/jogger-accidentally-crosses-u-s-border-from-b-c-gets-detained-for-2-weeks-1.4717060 Jogger who accidentally crossed U.S. border from B.C. detained for 2 weeks

If they are seeking asylum, they're not criminals. Also are they detaining them in super maxes or something? Maybe Cruz was on to something with expediting the processing via immigration judges. Asylum seekers are not separated. Only the criminals (second time attempt, smuggling, cartels etc.) are being held in incarceration and their kids in separate care. Are a lot of claims they are doing it to asylum seekers. Certainly is believable US law enforcement is lazy enough for that. By my understanding about issue is that Trump/Session with their so callled zero tolerance policy wanted anybody, including asylum seekers (or as some say that asylum seekers were their main target), who do even minor friction in their entry to USA to be incarcerated, which lead to people who entered with their children to be separated from their children because of law(s) about incarceration of children. Now Trump has written excecutive order which says zero tolerance policy will continue but that children can be incarcerated with their parents for indefinitely (although there is bit of a loop hole as excecutive order say that it will not supersede any laws so technically authorities could continue do what they were doing before the excecutive order)

8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien. (a) Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts "Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both." (b) Improper time or place; civil penaltiesAny alien who is apprehended while entering (or attempting to enter) the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty of— (1) at least $50 and not more than $250 for each such entry (or attempted entry); or (2) twice the amount specified in paragraph (1) in the case of an alien who has been previously subject to a civil penalty under this subsection. Civil penalties under this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any criminal or other civil penalties that may be imposed. 18 U.S. Code § 3571 - Sentence of fine https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3571 (a)In General.— A defendant who has been found guilty of an offense may be sentenced to pay a fine (b)Fines for Individuals.—Except as provided in subsection (e) of this section, an individual who has been found guilty of an offense may be fined not more than the greatest of— (1) the amount specified in the law setting forth the offense; (2) the applicable amount under subsection (d) of this section; (3) for a felony, not more than $250,000; (4) for a misdemeanor resulting in death, not more than $250,000; (5) for a Class A misdemeanor that does not result in death, not more than $100,000; (6) for a Class B or C misdemeanor that does not result in death, not more than $5,000; or (7) for an infraction, not more than $5,000. http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/us-immigration/crime-enter-illegally.html "Whether it’s by crossing the U.S. border with a "coyote" or buying a fake U.S. passport, a foreign national who enters the U.S. illegally can be both convicted of a crime and held responsible for a civil violation under the U.S. immigration laws. Illegal entry also carries consequences for anyone who might later attempt to apply for a green card or other immigration benefit. The penalties and consequences get progressively more severe if a person enters illegally more than once, or enters illegally after an order of removal (deportation) or having been convicted of an aggravated felony." What Is Illegal Entry? The immigration law actually uses the term "improper entry," which has a broad meaning. It’s more than just slipping across the U.S. border at an unguarded point. Improper entry can include: entering or attempting to enter the United States at any time or place other than one designated by U.S. immigration officers (in other words, away from a border inspection point or other port of entry) eluding examination or inspection by U.S. immigration officers (people have tried everything from digging tunnels to hiding in the trunk of a friend’s car) attempting to enter or obtain entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or willful concealment of a material fact (which might include, for example, lying on a visa application or buying a false green card or other entry document). Criminal Penalties For the first improper entry offense, the person can be fined (as a criminal penalty), or imprisoned for up to six months, or both. If I haven't fully misunderstood what these say, the law doesn't say that people who enter in USA illegally need to be incarcerated, even in case of multiple offences although it definitely gives authories right to do so.

I understood your point, but I tried to make counterpoint by asking if Sally's parents should be incarcerated in first place just for commiting misdemeanor offence where law doesn't say that people committing said offence need to be incarcerated?

Laws and morals don't always see eye to eye Like for example sending jews to concenration camps to be killed was legal in Nazi-Germany, hiding and helping jews to escape was illegal, but fast majority see later act as morally right and first act as morally wrong. Owning slaves and mistreating them was legal, helping slaves to escape and hide from authorities was illegal and again fast majority these days see later act as morally right thing to do and first act morally wrong. Man forcing his wife to have sex with him and even beating his wife was legal and helping wife to hide from her husband was illegal and again fast majority these days sees second act morally right thing to do and first act morally wrong. In democracies laws are usually eventually adjusted to fit what people see to be morally right. I am not sure if Sally's case is comparable to illegal entry to USA as, illegal entry is misdemeanor in USA where shooting people during armed robbery is felony. I would ask if authorities should take Sally away from her parents in case they are caught on speeding, when Sally is trapped on back seat their car.

It has Democratic Republic of the Congo in it, just to give perspective of country that doesn't have any human rights, at least that is my guess for reasoning why it was selected.

People of Maine have decided that Australian way is way to forward https://www.aclu.org/blog/voting-rights/maine-passes-peoples-veto-overturn-legislature-and-preserve-popular-new-voting Maine Passes ‘People's Veto’ to Overturn Legislature and Preserve Popular New Voting System Under Maine’s ranked-choice voting system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If a candidate receives more than half of the first-choice votes, that candidate wins. If no one receives a majority of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest first choices is eliminated. The voters who ranked the eliminated candidate first then have their second-choice votes distributed to other candidates. This continues until a candidate has a majority of the active votes.

It isn't like USA don't have protective tariffs for some products like for example sugar.

Average salary per hour for new McDonalds workers is 13€ (15 USD) (there is variety as you get paid more in evening and night shifts than in morning and day shifts and also sundays and holidays salary is higher) Restaurants are very strict about contamination as they are fully responsible if they sell product that is advertaised glutenfree (same with other allergenics) and it isn't

You don't have Gluten free burgers in McDonalds in USA? In Finland's McDonalds has Gluten free version of Big Mac and Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Most restaurants, including fast food places, here have gluten free options in their menus these days. Also you usually can order lacotse free and milkless versions menu items in most restaurants.

McDonalds also gets subsidies in most countries in world which it does bussiness, as most countries in world give both agriculture and low pay worker subsidies, etc. assistances, which both indirectly and directly benefit McDonalds. I have seen some calculations that McDonald's effectivelly gets more subsidies than its world wide revenue is.
