Aren't they increasing the cost to over $100 a year? I guess now we know why.
If you like the Japanese live action shows, download the Shout Factory TV app. They have several seasons of Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and just about every season of the super sentai series that became Power Rangers in the US along with a ton of other offbeat shows.
Tell me that you don't know the Bill of Rights without telling me that you don't know the Bill of Rights.
The phrase "the people" is used in five of the amendments. No one has ever argued that the right of the people to "peaceably to assemble" or "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects" is referring to the state as a collective of the people and not individuals. If there was any doubt, the 10th Amendment clearly distinguishes between, federal government, state government, and the people.
These shitheads only say that the people are the state for the 2d Amendment, because pretending the words written on the paper don't mean what they plainly say is necessary for their gun control schemes to withstand legal scrutiny.
"sudden and unexpected" death? Fitting.
Most normal people want to enjoy their turkey dinner without some pretentious commie trying to guilt trip them. This sort of shit is what's going to eventually turn the masses against liberalism.
"National day of mourning". Go fuck yourself. I'm going to celebrate your day of mourning with some turkey and homemade stuffing.
Shame, I enjoyed Kim's Convenience for what it was and thought it was cool for him that he made the leap from Canadian sitcoms to US action movies. Now I won't watch his shit, and hope his career falters. Why do these fuckers have to open their mouths and make the world realize they have a personality that we don't like?
Denzel Washington
What a perfect example of good cinema. He's a great actor and generally selected high quality films to act in. For most people "it's a Denzel Washington movie" means it's worth checking out.
You can't just throw people with random skin tones in movies and then get mad because the audience doesn't watch them. If an actor and movie are good, people will watch them.
The very concept of a hate crime is anathema to American democracy.
Hating blacks, asians, Italians, etc.? Legal. Openly writing and advocating for their extermination? Legel. Free speech and all that.
Commit a crime against a minority and the government can prove that you didn't like them? Extra illegal with extra penalties.
Thing is, if a crime carries a greater penalty because you have legally protected beliefs or have engaged in legally protected speech that happens to meet the disapproval of the government it has the effect of criminalizing, or at a minimum chilling, that legally protected speech. If our legal system had any shred of honesty, hate crime laws would have been thrown out as a First Amendment violation the second the government tried to use them.
Because Corey refused to enter a plea, his estate passed on to his sons instead of being seized by the local government.
He must have realized that he was dead either way, and didn't want his son's to be robbed.
died after three days of this torture
Tough dude.
That's all true. I suspect they rely more on the currency reporting rules at airports because that's at least a hard and fast law that is being broken.
Other countries would probably take a more dim view of asset forfeiture based on nothing more than "you can't prove this wasn't earned illegally!" than of it's backed up with something. I'm curious what the actual penalty for failure to declare is though.
Considering it hinges on the perpetrator's state of mind, I'd be curious if they were able to muster any evidence in support of that other than "You're not Asian so I don't believe you."
You know, I had forgotten about that aid worker and his family who they vaporized in the last days of Afghanistan.
You've got to love how "it was an accident/my heart was in the right place but I made a mistake" is a legitimate defense whenever the government screws up and gets somebody killed, but it's not a valid defense against any criminal charge if you're a regular citizen.
A lot of immigrants work in the US and then fly home with cash. It sounds crazy, but it's cumbersome and expensive to move money from US banks to overseas banks. It's easier, and possibly cheaper, to simply change the money at a currency exchange when you get there.
Many people don't realize that you can leave with as much US currency as you like, but the government requires that you report any amount over $10,000. They must steal millions from these immigrants who don't even realize they're doing anything wrong until the government swoops in and takes their money.
While we can debate the plusses and minuses of government mandated professional licenses, I've always thought that ceding the authority to determine what the credentialing standards are to third party non-govermental associations like the ABA or AMA is stupid and probably illegal under an honest reading of the law.
While the government has a legitimate interest in ensuring that people who hold themselves out to be doctors and lawyers actually meet a minimum standard of competency, by farming the management of that standard out to third party private organizations the government deprives these professionals the due process and fairness standards that we enforce upon the government itself.
Probably because the bar is a pass/fail exam and the LSAT has a range of grades. There's probably a school out there that will take you with shitty LSAT scores (even a good one) if you check enough "diversity" boxes that they want to see in their student body.
The State of Florida shouldn't be compelled to allow it's employees to teach that their own employers are some "white Satan" anymore than a Catholic university can be forced to employ a professor teaching atheism.
The law understands the difference between the government acting in the scope of an employer vs. as a government. When acting as an employer, the government generally has the same rights as a private employer.
because faculty members are employees of the state, “the First Amendment simply has no application in this context” because their employer “has simply chosen to regulate its own speech.”
This is true. If you want to teach at a state school, you have to teach the curriculum the state wants. If they want full academic freedom they should go to a private university. Of course, the private university is free to terminate it's employees too. It's almost like you have the right to free speech, but not the right to force someone to pay you and provide you a platform for your speech.
For most of this country's history college was reserved for the rich and the highly talented. The GI Bill after World War II allowed hundreds of thousands of people who never would have considered college to attend. This was great, and I have read about many people who served as junior enlisted in World War II and used their post war college education to become doctors and scientists and other prestigious jobs.
The problem is that their descendants have now come to regard college as something everyone should go to, just like high school. Effects have been disastrous. Colleges have become profit seeking degree miills, , academic rigor has all but disappeared, jobs now require a college degree for the same types of positions that would have only required a high school diploma 50 years ago, and several generations have assumed spiraling amounts of student debt in the pursuit of worthless degrees.
The only way to fix this is to re-center youth expectations about earning a degree in the types of jobs they will do after high school and return colleges to the place they formerly held.
Yes, this is nothing new. Many years back, when I was a high school senior, a girl and I both applied for the same scholarship. I had slightly better grades and way better extracurriculars but she got the scholarship.
The people deciding never met us, this information and a short personal statement were all they had to go on. But I have a masculine name and that girl did not.
That was my first taste of the pervasive gynocentrism in our society. For a long time I still thought if you were the best at your work you would still be recognized and advanced, but a lifetime of watching mediocre women and minorities promoted past their more capable white male peers have disabused me of that fantasy.
What, you don't think a slow pitch softball tournament sponsored by Furniture Villa captures the essence of Trek?
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
Yep. Star Trek ended after Enterprise (or DS9 for some). A lukewarm ending, but there it is. Nothing made since feels like Star Trek.
Man those ragheads sure are a ton of fun.
The US:
The Biden administration told a U.S. court that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s status as a sitting head of government shields him from a civil lawsuit brought by the fiancée of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Also the US:
The United States will freeze the personal assets of Putin https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisakim/2022/02/25/eu-prepares-to-freeze-putin-and-lavrovs-assets/?sh=49f13c4b4c58
So, if foreign heads of state are immune to civil actions, what operation of law is the US using to make seizing his assets legal?
Hey kids: the law is interesting because the government sometimes plays by those rules. But don't think it's definitive or binding, because the government will discard the law in a heartbeat if it becomes inconvenient to follow it.
So their governments were innocent in all this? They were probably more aggressive in sanctioning Russia than the US.
The fact that the US isn't dependent on Russian oil like they are, and has a large entrenched arms industry ready to sell weapons to Ukraine should have made it obvious that the US was going to come out of this without the same level of impact to its daily life that they are experiencing.
