If I’m not mistaken, isn’t Posse Comitatus what prevented during the first term, the Administration from using military to secure the U.S.-Mexico border? I remember Trump publicly saying he would use the military.

I’ve never heard of this before but it is a real thing. I would chock this up to the Administration not wanting to really pay anyone… thus trying to ensure they don’t get massive numbers quitting.

Also, anyone notice that all the people working for DHS during all of this that media has captured in public are men? Is that by design or do women have better morality?

I don’t know if this is true, but the employment contracts supposedly have a repayment clause. So the assumption is many people are financially unable to quit once they are hired.

What the fuck Legion of Doom rip-off is the U.S. trying to be? First it was that stupid Board of Peace and now this.

This looks more like the coverage maps Verizon would display in television commercials.

There is no reality which this can be true.

They are right but FIFA is corrupt too.

And what border were they patrolling?

That too. I don’t think anyone abiding by the law should be killed. I agree. Let me be clear.

The naming custom is the surname goes before the given name. In “Ensign Ro”, Picard mistakenly says Ensign Laren. He is corrected, being told that her surname is Ro and some Bajorans try to fit in, reversing the structure.

I would think that Seven would be more comfortable within the crew dynamic of Voyager, addressing her by their surname.

EDIT: Being an xB, I would imagine Seven would already know this from Unimatrix Zero assimilating some Bajorans.

It doesn’t matter if I like Bad Bunny. Simply the idea that anyone of such stature in pop culture today can upset half a nation, doing something so harmless, brings me joy. This is not about you Red Hat Cult idiots.

 
 

Babysitting my mom’s three cats. She left a box of Churu. They like them a lot. I was surprised. I thought it was just a few rare internet videos I have watched. Cats really like this.

EDIT: I just realized I messed up my meme, which is meant to point to how this meme is using the wrong colors. Below is my corrected meme which the meme featuring the screenshots using the correct colors is pointing out my original post is wrong and what is the correct colors.

 
 

Pluribus season 1 episode 6, “HDP”

 

I am hoping for STLV their convention pin has “A Piece of the Action” artwork. Each year for the convention they release a commemorative pin that honors the gambling roots of Las Vegas with artwork inspired by scenes that feature card games.
