Unions should always back the due process rights of their members....

Of all the things to shit on Police Unions for, this one actually requires a conviction to be valid.

Until then, it is every union's moral and ethic obligation to support their members as they go through the legal process.

Just because something is legally defined, doesn't mean the law will be equally applied and it's not a conspiracy theory to point out the German government's long history of unequal application of draconian laws that are used to target specific demographic groups.

The groups they choose to target may change as time moves on, but the tactic remains.

Prior to his FAA appointment, Whitaker was a long time airline industry lawyer and executive.

Don't confuse the job description on the FAA website, with the actual role he's been appointed to fill.

It's a country that heavily relies on the revenues generated by its state-run oil company.

The Democrats abandoned the Unions long before Union members largerly abandoned the Democrats.

You're not wrong, but the appointment of Lina Khan to head the FTC is easily one of the only good things Biden has done while in office.

So, at least she'll go down kicking and screaming before they finally snuff her out, metaphorically speaking.

He was mayor during 9/11, not because of it.

That aside, you're right about him coasting off 9/11 for quite a while. His failed Presidential bid was basically him spamming "9/11” from start, to finish.

He had the same problem as Meatball Ron: the more the GOP base voters heard him and saw him, the more they were repulsed by him.

Georgia's stolen children: Twins sold at birth reunited by TikTok video ( www.bbc.com )

Amy and Ano are identical twins, but just after they were born they were taken from their mother and sold to separate families. Years later, they discovered each other by chance thanks to a TV talent show and a TikTok video. As they delved into their past, they realised they were among thousands of babies in Georgia stolen from...

That is a genuinely heart wrenching read. I look forward to more reporting, but this is type of story where digging too deep may result in a hit and run "accident", or straight up car bombing.

They don't go into too many details, but it sounds like hospital staff were paid to abduct the infants and tell parents their newborns died.

Given how widespread it was, I assume it was a system of brokers who paid off the staff, took the infants, and then acted as go-betweens for the agencies selling the babies for adoption.

That's entirely speculation on my part. I hope they can dig deeper into this and bring some level accountability for the sake of those families.

Laser's aren't difficult to counter, and are extremely dependent on uncontrollable operational conditons i.e. the weather.

No one weapon of the military is used in a vacuum, they are awful bloody tools in a large toolbox.

So having this will expand the capabilities and cost effectiveness overall, but not because it's singularly amazing and unbeatable.

He's unironically a cuck. After all of Trump's personal attacks and humiliation, Ron went full TED CRUZZZZZZ and immediately got on his knees and started slobbing on Trump's golden knob.

What a big dumb baby.

If the official statement is immediately blaming "outside influence"/saboteurs, then I'm inclined to believe that it was very likely just a good old fashioned gross negligent fuckup, which may, or may not, be attributable to corruption and generally lax Russian safety standards.

If you're talking about the mainstream press, then there is no "liberal" media, only neoliberal, and they usually remain pretty quiet on the issue of SCOTUS expanding corporate power. Which has been pretty nonstop since the 1970s, and those cases are usually decided somewhere between 7-2 and 9-0.

You just described approximately 95% of all post-9/11 FBI terrorism cases, as well as the Michigan Governor's "attempted kidnapping".

pandapoo ,

Nearly half those "involved" were FBI informants...

Why Foxes Should Take The Lead in Guarding The Henhouse

pandapoo ,

It probably already is, as this is from April 2023.

pandapoo ,

As he should.

I hope he goes full hog on attacking Indians and Hinduism, as that's a pretty important demographic for the GOP.

Be interesting to see how that would play out.

pandapoo ,

I hope the Freedom Caucus doesn't rest until they get Speaker Gaetz or MTG.

Then finally, we can switch from the Mooch Metric to the Head of Lettuce system.

Shia aren't really known for terrorism. Death squads? Sure, but what right wing government doesn't partake in a bit of death squad shenanigans.

Terrorism is much more of a Sunni / Wahhabist tactic.

Don't be such an ass.

How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity ( www.wired.com )

"This is the story of the revelation in late 2013 that Bitcoin was, in fact, the opposite of untraceable—that its blockchain would actually allow researchers, tech companies, and law enforcement to trace and identify users with even more transparency than the existing financial system."

Are you actually asking someone to prove that large darknet market drug dealers use money laundering to safely access their profits?

It sounds like what you really want is someone to explain to you how it's done successfully...if you're that desperate to learn, take it to Dread and off Lemmy.

pandapoo ,

I just gave you a primary source for that...and a lot more...

Dread

You're something special.

Okay kid, if this was all about you wanting to feel like you won an argument because people are declining to act as your personal Spotify Crime Explained playlist generator, then you win.

They did, that's why they hid.

Tate isn't smart, but he isn't stone stupid either.

If he hasn't burned all of his connections to organized crime, he might be able to get backdated paperwork and legitimate papertrails for many of his assets.

Or maybe he's smarter then I'm giving him credit for and he already took measures to launder, or otherwise legitimize the money used for his most valuable assets.

This is like posting articles from Russia Today to provide commentary on the Ukrainian government.

pandapoo ,

Just another moron who either didn't read, or understand the article, and definitely doesn't understand the realities of living in a rural desert like southern Arizona.
