Federal agent secured gun from Minn. man before fatal shooting, videos show

trump's immigration efforts are becoming less popular. however, The New York Times/Siena poll 11% o' all respondents believe ICE tactics have "not gone far enough." 24% o' republican respondents believe ICE tactics have "not gone far enough." the large % o' republicans who is ok with the current situation, and the significant % who want more o' the ultraviolence is problematic. those extreme republicans vote, and they is overrepresented in primaries where candidates is chosen. edit: please recall that in trump 1.0, the administration gave up on their family separation policy because republicans were repelled by the cruelty. only 25% of americans (or less) supported the family separation policy. today, routine violations o' first amendment and civil rights don't bother most republicans anymore than did cecot, and near a quarter o' republicans is disappointed that immigration enforcement is too cautious and polite. ... we are fundamentally broken, and a mid-term loss for the republicans ain't gonna fix the problems.

if this ain't legit, am gonna be extreme disappointed. mr. Page is a soft-spoken man of keen intellect and unquestioned integrity; my respect for him as a jurist and as a human being is profound and sincere. a recipient of the Presidential medal of freedom, the nflpa honors its members with an award named after the former judge and notre dame all-american. oh, and the dude is 80ish. edit: our original source. HA! Good Fun! ps am thinking somebody at the nflpa has a sense o' humor, 'cause previous to 2018, their community mvp award were named for byron "whizzer" white.

"you're wrong about that." we never denied that the quotes were genuine. why would we? as we noted, you will find qualitative same quotes from al jazeera. our complaint were that the quotes were lacking meaningful context, were unattributed, unlinked and that you misrepresented the conclusions and findings o' the article, a position which unlike zor, we supported with quotes and links + attributions. we posted more than a half dozen western news stories, proper linked and attributed, which most certain did not "embiggen" pahlavi but instead revealed equivocation and ambivalence regarding pahlavi relevance. also, as has been pointed out ad nauseum, the lede does not necessarily include "summary opinions." "or if you prefer" is not somehow transforming your lead into gold and you are again purposeful misrepresenting. lede is a hook + essential facts. converse, distinct from facts, opinions is part of the analysis o' the writers which you purposeful avoided... is no doubt why you failed to link and attribute so that others wouldn't realize your obfuscations. if a writer summarizes their own article, it is most likely gonna happen in the conclusion. and funny you should mention machado, 'cause we did an anonymous search for venezuela last friday as we wanted to see just how relevant the idiotic nobel prize story were. all too often the algorithm feeds us what it thinks we want to see. of course if we had searched for machado + venezuela, every story returned would be 'bout machado. duh even so, more than half the stories returned were 'bout the ridiculous nobel prize nonsense in spite of everything else going on in venezuela. one such headline, from a source you did not link or attribute but which was the origin o' one o' your supplied quotes, mentioned the "swag bag" she carried with her after leaving the white house. is the world we live in that trump signature gift bags is news. today? not so much. machado is hardly front page at many/most western news sites available to a US reader. the thing is, pahlavi never got anywhere near the attention as did machado. even when he held a news conference, and on the day when iran tv were hacked in his name, the first +60 western stories on iran+ protests failed to mention pahlavi in the headlines or ledes more than once. "you are wrong." grammerly, your source pointed out why your failure to attribute and link were wrong and self defeating. your conclusory statement that, "And on Pahlavi, taking the first ten search engine results for reza pahlavi (exc wikipedia/ brittanica and revapahlavi.org) over the past four days," (you realize that ain't meaningful context, yes?) were the kinda supplied "methodology" (lordy) which magical obviates the need summaries as well as real links and attributions is a laughable response with zero support save zor's says-so. well, at least you are learning about strawman, how to meaningful summarize news articles, the error o' relying on mindless search engine populations, the existence o' a variety of flavor o' ledes, the fact that the first paragraph of an article is not always a summary, etc. unfortunately, am suspecting you ain't never gonna understand how your mindless list o' quotes generated via a search engine sans meaningful context did not reveal some kinda proof o' the western media's efforts to embiggen pahlavi. so go ahead, deflect s'more, and then wish into existence new defenses for your initial lazy misrepresentation. is what you do. you do poorly, and am admitting we do derive embarrassing entertainment in revealing your reflexive frauds, but am knowing you cannot help your self. HA! Good Fun!

a wizard of earthsea is one o' our favorite fantasy works, so we read every couple of years. HA! Good Fun!

battletech extended (BEX) have been playing battletech advanced and rogutech since those mods were released, but never played BEX. am shocked by how much we enjoy bex. is more stable compared to bta and roguetech. the bex mech lab offers fewer options, and initiative and evasion is handled more like the base game than the other mods mentioned, but am near completing a full merc career and am just about to start fighting the clans; start year for our career is 3047. am likely gonna play until am able to field as many dire wolves and warhawks as we please, although am disappointed the bex omnimechs is nevertheless having hardpoints. one thing we especial miss from roguetech is the inability to be able to choose where am dropping on a map. bex frequent drops us in the middle o' multiple enemy lances with the back o' our out-of-cover stalkers typical pointed at least a half dozen mechs with better initiative. whatever. point is that am having more fun than expected. admission: other than fritz (chess,) is few computer games am having invested more hours into than battletech. sux that hairbrained weren't able to do a sequel. HA! Good Fun!

clarification: as vulgar as this is, it is legal... for now. a domestic terrorist database created by collecting public available and non-private information, is not prohibited by law. unless and until there is a specific Congressional law prohibiting government databases created by collecting public available and non-private information, we gotta rely on scotus decisions to articulate the scope o' privacy contemplated by the Constitution. scotus Justices is tending to be luddites--not only are they old, but their job is to see patterns in the law by looking backwards (oftentimes centuries) in search o' meaningful legal precedent. also, acknowledging that the US Constitution don't specific mention privacy, the Court is reluctant to push further the boundaries o' a penumbral fundamental right. use domestic terrorist to label a database which includes peaceful protesters exercising their first amendment rights should be political and moral repugnant, but it isn't illegal... yet. until such a time the label becomes material in a case or controversy, until a person is denied a government benefit or legal protection 'cause o' their existence in the domestic terrorist database, the courts don't have any kinda power to require the dissolution o' such a database. am assuming a pre 2024 Court would put the kibosh on a domestic terrorist database that were used to deny rights and privileges to those who did exercise their First Amendment rights, but... HA! Good Fun!

and Not opening the door to ICE may no longer stop officers Most immigration arrests have been carried out under administrative warrants, documents issued by immigration authorities that authorize an arrest. Traditionally they do not permit officers to enter private spaces without consent. Only warrants signed by independent judges have carried that authority. there is no basis for dhs creating new authority for law enforcement. claiming it is proper to keep relying on administrative warrants 'cause o' some kinda self granted power ginned up in a dhs memo is something jd vances knows is not Constitutional. nevertheless, am having little doubt feds will continue to enter homes/residences up until scotus tells 'em they cannot do so. how many people were sent out o' the US before scotus said there needs be some kinda due process review? once those people were out o' the US, as a practical and legal matter, courts could not force the US to bring those improperly "deported" persons back to the US. scotus has been using the shadow docket to undermine lower court TROs without providing rationales for overturning district and appellate courts. as far as we can tell, the scotus majority has decided that only scotus has the authority to enjoin the executive branch... although am needing mention the curious lisa cook exception. Since Trump took office last year, the court – on its interim docket – has allowed him to remove members of the National Labor Relations Board, Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the Merit Systems Protection Board. The justices also heard arguments in December in the case of Rebecca Slaughter, a member of the Federal Trade Commission whom Trump fired in March. They are expected to decide by summer whether a federal law that bars him from removing members of the FTC except in cases of “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office” violates the constitutional separation of powers. explain why a fed appointee is legal different than an ftc board appointee is difficult 'cause scotus has provided no explanation. however, if scotus treats the dhs memo authority same as most other fed actions, it could be a long time before they get around to telling vance that administrative warrants don't fulfill 4th amendment requirements. how many US residents get "deported" before scotus decides to observe that water is wet and ice is cold... although following the Presidential immunity case, am no longer certain what constitutes legal unthinkable for this Court. ... sure this is wrong, but kamala harris woulda' done... something. HA! Good Fun!

so, still focusing on the sophistry you complained 'bout? color us not surprised. hypocritical and deceptive. telling us you used a search engine is not linking and is not meaningful attribution. you quoted grammerly as a source and grammerly made extreme clear why you should include attribution and links. "Remember to attribute your quotes properly to maintain transparency and build trust with your audience. Make sure the source is clear, and use their exact words to avoid misrepresentation." you are the joker who observed earlier that people rare read beyond the first paragraph or two as some kinda lazy-arsed defense o' your own lazy-arsed search engine efforts. ("Every single quote I picked was in the first few lines of the articles. Most (all but one?) of them were in the lead or second paragraph. ie the part people actually read, and which gets summarised by search engines.") but failure to link and attribute makes it far less likely people will catch your deceit, yes? and we both know it is misrepresentation; "you're wrong about that." is why we did link the stories you failed to attribute and shared the conclusions and analysis from the stories which made clear the equivocation and ambivalence o' the authors regarding the significance o' pahlavi. we also revealed qualitative same quotes from al jazeera, which kinda undercuts your complaint o' some kinda western skew. oh, and if we put words into a search engine and it provides a long list o' results, it don't mean that western media is making efforts to "embiggen" whatever it is we were searching. duh on same day you did your mindless search engine population, you coulda' gone instead with madonna + iran and seen dozens o' results. seems you don't know how to use a search engine after all. again, do a search for iran + protests and see how frequent you get results for pahlavi in headline and ledes. if the west were so hot to embiggen, would we not see pahlavi showing up in ledes and headlines o' the foremost returns? using an anonymous search, so as to avoid algorithm issues, we again did a search today for iran + protests and get zero results for pahlavi in the ledes and headlines produced in the first sixty western stories. of course if you do a targeted search for pahlavi, you will generate numerous results, but the mere existence o' results will often be misleading. unless you are specific searching for pahlavi, there is a good chance you would see him as irrelevant, 'cause he is getting only the most infrequent mentions in the headlines and ledes o' western news stories regarding the iranian protests. again, you were the guy stressing how little o' articles people read as some kinda defense o' your sloth and decption. oh and again, the first paragraph o' a story is not "always a summary" as you claimed. heck, the first paragraph don't always include a summary lede, which is not but a hook + essential facts. your grammerly link didn't say what you claim it did any more than your mindless quote list, but since you put so much in search engine results... ai result from google for "summary of a news article: A summary of a news article is a concise, objective overview that captures the central message and key facts of the original story without including personal opinions. Core Elements of a News Summary An effective summary typically addresses the "5 Ws and H" to provide a complete picture of the event: Who: The primary people, groups, or organizations involved. What: The central event, topic, or main conflict. Where: The specific location where the event occurred. When: The timing or date of the events. Why: The reason, cause, or purpose behind the event. How: The process or methods described in the story. Essential Steps for Writing Survey the Article: Read the headline and the first paragraph (the "lede") first, as these often contain the most critical information. Identify Main Points: Note the author's thesis or main claim and the major arguments or evidence supporting it. Draft in Your Own Words: Write the summary using your own phrasing to avoid plagiarism, typically keeping it to about one-third the length of the original article. Acknowledge the Source: Begin by identifying the article's title, author, and publication in the first sentence. Maintain Objectivity: Stick to the facts presented in the text and avoid adding your own analysis or critique. Structure of a Summary Introduction: A single sentence introducing the article and its main argument. Body: A series of sentences explaining each supporting point in the same order as the original article. Conclusion: A final statement that summarizes the thesis and explains the overall significance or implications of the story. your search engine generated quotes, which you failed to link and attribute, (naughty) typical weren't even fulfilling the requirements o' summary ledes as described by grammerly, but nowhere near reaching the level o' meaningful summaries. your primary school edumactaion were lacking if you believe your mindless search population results were meaningful summaries, but we do not believe you are so ignorant... 'bout summaries. clown show shenanigans, but please, don't stop. HA! Good Fun!

trump's most successful diplomatic and trade efforts is tacoing. tariffs is most noteworthy for trump delays, exceptions and implementation fails. ukraine had to compromise by thanksgiving... but maybe he meant next thanksgiving? am suspecting the new greenland deal is gonna be near indistinguishable from the old greenland deal, which is good news for everybody. etc. the problem is that trump is unlikely to taco if the bond market fails to react. blowing up boats in the caribbean didn't move the needle and so trump decided a coup would be a fun thing to do in venezuela. regardless, this "concept o' a deal" 'tween nato and trump is a real life application o' sun tzu's advice: build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across. am thinking the nobel committee should keep a medal for trump in their pocket just in case it looks as if the very stable genius is about to start ww3. ... we got at least three more years o' this insanity. HA! Good Fun!

HA! Good Fun!

ironic. *chuckle* you never offered a meaningful argument in support o' your conclusion, but you did complain a fair bit about sophistry and semantics in spite o' you being the clown to invoke grammerly ('cause that meaningful bolstered your contention that there is a western media effort to "embiggen" pahlavi. HA!) and your impotent attempts to redefine ledes. is repetitive buffoonery and includes more than a little o' your trademark deceit where you misrepresent sources. and 'cause you got a predictable misunderstanding o' logic, is no shock you use strawman wrong, though am thinking this is one o' your ignorance fails as 'posed to deception. strawman is a fallacy where an individual false attribute an argument to another, and then proceeds to knock the stuffing out o' the imagined argument. is not a fantasy that you are bozoing an argument that ledes = meaningful summaries, and that, "The first paragraph of an article is always a summary." is nothing made up about our description o' your argument. you keep doubling down on those points although they don't meaningful advance your material conclusion. wait, you don't genuine think that 'cause we crafted the old man and the sea lede it counts as strawman, 'cause that would be HI-larious. so much for your grasp o' your primary school english lessons, eh? once again, you posted a bunch o' quotes, without links or attribution. naughty. furthermore, the stories from which you lifted the quotes, relying on nothing save a mindless search engine population, undermine your conclusion that western media were attempting to embiggen the relevance o' pahlavi, while ignoring the fact non western media such as al jazeera were making near identical quotes about pahlavi, and how in spite o' his recent news conference and the hacking efforts interrupting iranian tv, there is extreme few pahlavi stories showing up in a search o' iran + protests. so much for the western embiggen scheme. serious, zor needs musical accompaniment for his... contributions. counting on most people to be unaware when you fib or expecting 'em not to go through the effort o' checking your sources is your schtick. HA! Good Fun!

am gonna suggest that's the portion o' the letter which resonates most with hardcore maga. the maga movement has been so successful 'cause it channels outrage and grievance o' white americans, particular white and working class americans. is the folks living in rural america who feel as if they has been marginalized and ridiculed for decades while the libs talk about reparations for slavery and the "feminazis" push dei programs. their manufacturing jobs go to mexico, vietnam and china and all the libs wanna talk about is white privilege? now the real trick is that trump has managed to convince maga that his personal grievances is theirs. whenever trump is mocked for saying something ignorant, or he is investigated for business fraud, the ultimate motivation behind those efforts by the deep state and george soros to diminish trump is the destruction of maga. it's not 4d chess. as long as trump is channeling outrage and grievance, the maga base will cheer for him. HA! Good Fun!
