As this is now the Turtledove thread I thought it was really quite silly that instead of tanks we call them barrels and the senile old fuck Custer saw them and thought "CAVALRY IS BACK, BABY!"

Also that one scene where a recon group sees a train carrying tanks to the front and the people on the train are singing "roll out the barrel". Also his series where aliens invade in WWII and we fuck their shit up because we learn ginger is like crack cocaine to them. Man had so many wacky ideas that it's completely unsurprising that he suffers from the TDS.
 
@Pod 042 You misunderstand me. I come from a slave-owning family many years ago, but what I'm saying now is that the giant crop-growing farms and the agriculture sector in general kind of is dependent on low-skilled spic labor to a degree, especially in more remote areas. Same for construction but that's the urban side of it. What we need to do is make agriculture and construction industries that men can go into and live on what they make, even if they're just a field hand. Everything I/We do is family though, most of the time I just work by myself or with my brother. My name ties me to my work.
 
I can tell you without a single doubt that anything can be automated without sacrificing quality, present me any job
Harvesting vines growing in a steep slop and bush vines. And asparagus harvest, though robotics is coming along to automate it, but those machines are still too expensive to not have it done by hand

I have no idea how the court can order DHS agents to do certain things. There is no jurisdiction, as far as I'm aware, to enter affirmative injunctive relief in this fashion and for the purpose of...what? They can order injunctive relief under the All Writs Act to enforce other orders over which they have jurisdiction, but as presented in these articles it makes no sense. Unless there's something going on that journoshits aren't properly reporting, this is straight up a violation of the court's jurisdiction and separation of powers. It would be reductive to call it judicial activism, because this is just seizing another branch of government.
I don't care. I just want bodycam of ice beating antifa and beaners lol.
 
They get processed like anything else and if legal and serialized several things can happen. Cops sometimes take them for themselves if the precinct allows it. They can also be sold to individuals, donated to the military or be sold internationally. During the second year of the Russia/Ukraine war some police precincts were selling their confiscated guns to Ukraine through some kinda of government weapons exchange program. I'm not sure if federal police are the same as local but I assume it's pretty similar.
Don't said confiscated guns have to sit on the shelf in the evidence warehouse until there is an acquittal, the window to appeal any guilty convictions or pleas has passed, or the statute of limitations has expired on whatever crime the confiscated gun was connected with?
 
Looks like the new Oklahoma school boss is reversing course in bible studies in school
On Wednesday, Fields announced that he has “no plans to distribute Bibles or a Biblical character education curriculum in classrooms” and intends to file a motion to dismiss the ongoing litigation over the policy. Last year, 32 plaintiffs — including 14 parents, four teachers and three faith leaders — sued Walters over his Bible mandate.

In March, the Oklahoma Supreme Court temporarily blocked the state’s Education Department from purchasing Bibles with tax dollars and implementing the biblical curriculum while the case was pending.

More than 500 Bibles were purchased for Advanced Placement government classes at Walters’ direction before he resigned.
 
I can't believe it, Trump is announcing that all Americans must honor Itagakis legacy and those who cannot beat Ninja Gaiden Black on Master Ninja will be purged.

"He made the game harder, some even say the hardest and the women in his games were great, we love em don't we folks? I like the one they call Rachel. The nasty democrats probably like Tekken, horrible."
 
What actually happens to these guns? Are they just destroyed? Can they be resold? Do they "disappear" because a corrupt cop resold them himself? Do we just send them to whatever insurgency we're currently propping up in South America or the Middle East?

I won't be the one to jump down it but the world of what happens to items involved with civil forfeiture seems like quite the rabbit hole.
Police resell that shit. One wound up at my LGS, it's how I got my revolver lol.
 
Third, the confederacy didn't assassinate Lincoln. That was the action of a terrorist that was condemned by most Americans, union or confederate. And occurred after the confederacy began to surrender. Lee surrender to Grant April 9th. Lincoln wasn't assassinated until April 14th.
It would have been in the South's interests to keep Lincoln around, he was an advocate of the lightest possible Reconstruction, the War was over, time to heal and move on. Which is also part of why the Confederate base names in the first place, especially considering that most of America's door kickers and pipe hitters are Appalachians, Midwesterners, many of whom have Southern and/or Appalachian heritage, and the Southrons themselves. Border Reivers, Scots, and the Cavaliers and their supporters doing the Anglo's dirty work as usual.

A lot of seized property law is fucked, and they'll just destroy it and then if you raise a fuss, they'll give you approximate market value. Generally speaking they act first and ask for forgiveness later. The victims who can afford to sue over their gun being melted down have enough money and sense to know its not worth it over getting a new gun.
 
I was reliably told tariffs would ruin the economy!

Minority report:
September is going a bumper month for recipts. It is the end of quater (gets the quarterly files), the fiscal for a lot of companies and the date individuals with high taxable balances have estimate balances due (though they aren't considered "late" until Dec 31 IIRC)
Basically there will more taxes paid in September than any month except January, and maybe december.

This does not negate the fact that providing heavy incentives for companies to move more economic activity into the US is a good thing, but I'd wait to see how October looks before I get out my mission accomplished banner on this topic.
 
Apparently people think that Jared Kushner is the Antichrist now. I don't even know how to take people seriously anymore.
My dude. I gave up on taking people seriously back in 2020. It'll be okay, just ignore the dumpster fire society has become.
 
They're supposed to have the metal parts melted down but you could easily disable a gun with a drill and metal rated drill bit. Second option would be assuming law enforcement is clever, efficient, and trying to save on costs.
The later option would just turn into this. Boomers thinking they are making a gun unusable, instead they violate federal laws, or they just turn a receiver into a dual purpose functional gun/cheese grater.
 
I have a question, why isn't ICE targeting places like Dearborn? Am I to believe that most of those Muslims are here legally?
 
>Most slaves were needed for about 2 weeks a year for picking season, maybe a bit for planting. The challenge for slave owners was how to warehouse those people at the cheapest per-unit cost for the other 50 weeks.
Depends. A lot of slaves were put to other tasks during the winter, such as low-skilled construction labor. If there was livestock though then there was no change, there is no off-season with cattle, hogs, goats and whatnot. In fact it gets tedious in the winter, you have to move them every day and moving them can be a bitch. If there's a lot of calves and you're by yourself like I was earlier they can be stubborn and you have to time it right while the mamas are distracted with the bait feed. I was chasing them around on the gator earlier today, in fact. I'm glad a lot of the calves are going to be gone soon, I'll tell you that.
Regardless, it's still pretty pathetic that people are crying 150 years later because their great great great great great great grandpa had to work on a farm.
 
NYC Mayoral debate happening shortly. Mamdani will give his iconic Indian confidence man grimace, Silwa will rant about his wholesome little kitties, and Cuomo will… fuck, I don’t know, kill the moderator’s grandma or something?

With Trump in office, I've been enjoying interpreter-free livestreams only to be reminded of them now. May a Democrat never become president again foremost to keep this blight off the screen.

That book definitely couldn't have been written that way today, the alternate history (particularly Alternatehistory.com) community now is a bunch of unhinged shitlibs and outright communists who think reconstruction should've ended with a genocide of Southern white men and they wouldn't accept a Southern victory timeline that isn't either a cartoonish Wolfenstein style dystopia or leads to a slave revolt that then somehow leads to Wakanda.
Ya, spent some time on the Alternatehistory.com site. While I found some great stories, the guy who runs it and his associates are, frankly, some of the biggest assholes ever seen. They warn, kick and ban people in a heartbeat for posting things they don't agree with. For example, you can't even say Rhodesia was a well-run country, which it was. Got punted out when I told everyone what an asshole the guy running it was. He would have lasted about five minutes here before someone took some bites out of him and he ran like the bitch he is. You could have heard those cocksuckers clutch their pearls. Fuck bucket's empty for those dickbrains.

Got these today.
