The state prisons of MN? They would be holding him and have no reason to release him on Trumps orders since they don’t work for him.

Best I can imagine is that the Feds charge him with murder, Trump pardons him for the federal charges, the state charges him with murder, then the SCOTUS rules that he can’t be charged due to double jeopardy.

Which is why vaccines production is paid for by the government and why the corruption of ACIP is so nightmarish. Without government funding, a lot of vaccine research, development and manufacturing will dry up. We are very, very screwed.

Modern vaccines are so astonishingly effective for their use-cases that they are the closest thing we have to magic. Smallpox is now eradicated (except for lab samples) and polio is no longer a threat in the US (for now) and these ignorant self-important grifting assholes are going to torpedo this miracle of science.

I’m glad I’m not the only one to notice this, all these atrocities are just so Bibi can stay in power and out of jail for corruption.

The question is whether the California National Guard will follow Trump’s orders or Newsom’s orders in a situation where a court has ruled that Newsom is who they currently work for.

They claim he didn’t identify himself, but the video shows he clearly states “I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have questions for Ms. Noem”

Republican congressthings clearly have the same data on their internal polls, which is why they felt it safe to kill the dumpster-fire bill Trump tried to ram through.

Back in the D&D 3.5e days, I was on a kick where I thought alignment systems were very silly so when playing D&D I’d pick an alignment and play it to a logical extreme. In one case I was playing a LN character who was a city watchman (later watch captain) who was so lawful that it became a hurdle for the party to deal with because if they committed crimes I would investigate and then arrest them. My character was also very specialized in subduing enemies without killing them, though killing in self-defense was permissible I made every effort to avoid that, not out of compassion, but because the villains should be captured and brought to justice.

One time we were beset by bandits and some were killed in the skirmish, this wasn’t a problem but the party went to loot the bodies and I stopped them. Just because you kill someone doesn’t mean you get their belongings, the gold on their person would have to be catalogued and determined if it had been stolen, personal effects would go to their next of kin, etc. The party had no claim to any of it. The DM had to step in and have the King award treasure to us because I was preventing the group from getting stuff off our defeated enemies.

Ultimately, my insistence on jurisprudence and constant arresting PCs who stepped over the line resulted in the party being forced to adopt tactics to play around me. The Sorcerer picked up subual substitution (which turned out to be broken anyway since it bypassed energy immunity) the rest of the party picked up disarming, entangling or enchanting abilities to avoid me bringing the law down on them when we got back to the city.

All-in-all 10/10 would fuck with my party again. While sometimes frustrated by my antics the group agreed that I made the entire adventure a lot more memorable and interesting and we still talk about it years later.

Same. Raw spinach salad for days, but cook or can it and it immediately becomes one of my most hated foods.

Carrots are not as bad but I don’t care for them cooked, especially when raw carrots are so tasty.

Newsome isn’t progressive and is a very pro-corporate neo-liberal. My opinion hasn’t changed, but somebody needs to stand up to Trump and it might as well be him, even if it’s just an opportunity for him to posture for a 2028 run.

LAPD doesn’t report to the governor, their authority comes through the city so they report to the mayor who does not work for the governor. LASD also does not report to the governor, they report to the sheriff who is elected and does not work for the governor.

Crooks don’t like being told on.

We should ask Bill Cassidy about this since his deciding confirmation vote was given after RFK Jr. assured him that the ACIP would not be touched. So Bill, how do you feel about your vote now?

The aid on the ship was symbolic. This was a protest action to call attention to Israel’s continued blockade of food and other aid into Gaza.

This disclosure was from last year and the exploit was patched before the researcher published the findings to the public.

I worked for nearly a decade as product support for various voice mail applications, so I feel very strongly about this.

Fuck voice mail.

So according to the Chief, their detective did not interview the surviving victim of the crime before talking to the press. Snappy police work there. “We’re not bigots who enabled this murder by ignoring the prior complaints of the victims, we’re just really stupid. Golly!”

I hope this drags on for months.

He was only off by a little less than a trillion dollars.

Oh good, more fucking DARVO from our conservative psychopaths.
