I remember playing Ghost Recon (no tagline) back on the Gamecube, probably not the appropriate game for my age.

It was definitely a slower and more grounded game back then, or at least as much as a mainstream game could be back in the early 2000s. And first-person.

They aren’t serious political actors with consistent or defensible positions, they are nationalist campists if not outright propagandists.

The only acceptable Western leader to them is one that will cause the most internal chaos and self-destruction while leaving BRICS (mostly China and Russia) alone. Left-right politics has little to do with it. They don’t want us to coalesce into progressive countries, they want us to collapse and suffer.

Isn’t that place lowkey falling apart? Salt spray is not good for infrastructure.

Their geriatric audience still makes the connection between drugs like that and the unpatriotic, godless hippie movement.

That’s most usable explosives from my limited understanding. A small primary explosive charge setting off a more stable bulk explosive, whether that be ANFO or C4 or something else.

He may have already had dynamite, but not a Uhaul full of dynamite. Which would have been difficult and quite dangerous I imagine.

The same losers come by gun stores and ask how to convert their AR-15s into machine guns. Actual police work is difficult I guess, so they go on these fishing expeditions.

I would throw that under the same kind of forensic pseudoscience bunk as ballistic matching of bullets and matching pens/pencils to handwriting. A detective may try to scare you with it in an interrogation, but there is no logical way you can get any kind of certainty with that.

Public stories attract ire and inquisitive noses. Having to put together a story (even a shallow lie) also implies that they have an obligation to answer to the public. They would prefer that not be the case, in fact they would rather questioning their work be a crime in and of itself.

After Oklahoma City I’m pretty sure commercial fertilizer is pelletized with some sort of coating specifically to prevent its use as an explosive.

My read is that he is absolutely going to fire him at some point in the near future, but he wants to to be a shock so he can financially position himself for maximum gain before and after.

Are they, if under this conceit their home country refuses to accept them back?

Or if they are US citizens arbitrarily stripped of their citizenship?

Legality or lack thereof also doesn’t matter if they’re at the point where they’ll just force-feed you their Glock and throw your corpse into a lye pit in the woods for pulling such a stunt.

It probably falls under making people stateless, which is illegal. MAGA’ll argue that because they’re in custody, that’s not what’s happening, but nothing they argue is in good faith. If they argue to do one thing, they’re planning on doing something twice as bad in a month.

I don’t think abusive theocracies have a right to exist. Letting people like that coalesce into a nation-state will just cause bigger problems down the road.

They want to make Deseret and secede from the US, or simply hold together their fiefdom while everything else collapses.

Threatening me with death because I’m not throwing my life away at the soonest possible opportunity does not make me want to hurt the regime, it makes me want to hurt you.

What are “Decent Living Standards?”

I’d bet that they’re at least one step down from what the usual Westerner is accustomed to.

Because when people write manifestos, they are often trying to convince the reader that they are highly intelligent more than they are trying to plainly explain themselves. They are usually a product of mania.

Plenty of job openings with ICE and related gangs, so you would still end up having to deal with them.

Police officers as individuals are generally MAGA. If they were ordered to take up arms against ICE, well more than half would walk off the job by my guess.

Oh, and the mayor would be branded a traitor and be treated accordingly. So Democratic leaders are not exactly lining up around the block to pull that move.

There is probably an unspoken rule of geopolitics to the effect of “Don’t start assassinating foreign dignitaries and heads of state unless you want everyone else to declare open season on you and yours.” And it seems like we’re getting closer to breaking that rule by the month.
