Shit, Harley Quinn just did that like, last month as a bit.

Depends. Trump is still trying to bring DC police under DHS control.

The plan is "get the other countries to capitulate and offer me everything". This is a classic Mafia power play - strangle out trade for everyone, show how much power you can exert with one stroke of a pen, and then walk it back as a flex. The message is "give me everything I demand or I can strangle trade with your country from the US" - this unfortunately only works when your diplomatic position is good enough to get OTHER countries to agree to the same thing, like with Cuba or Russia (sorta).

Road trains are too Australian.

Oh no, they've already said that he's effectively in foreign custody and any transfers would have to go through diplomatic channels IIRC.

For those who don't want to potentially kill people with flying saw blade pieces, look up the resistance to the Mountain Valley pipeline. It costs a TON to get this heavy equipment into position and build roads to get the felled trees OUT. Even just establishing a bunch of treesits (or supporting those treesits) in the areas where they're building roads or planning to log can be incredibly expensive and disruptive to the planned project - and hurt the profit line, which is all that matters.

No actually. My job doesn't offer one. Many people either are in the same position where their job doesn't offer retirement benefits or they're not paying into it because they need every last cent they can spare.

CGI is expensive. Traditional animation is less expensive, but studio execs don't think it'll sell. And at the end of the day, nothing gets made of the execs don't like it. Disney - and most of Hollywood's - stance on traditional 2D for years has been "it's ancient and nobody wants to see it anymore".

Vacations in the US where he already sexually assaulted a woman after being here two weeks.

Also, most voting rights advocates will point to the 24th Amendment, (arguably rightly) claiming that requiring ID that you must pay the state to acquire constitutes a poll tax.

To explain: when black men got the right to vote after the 15th Amendment was passed, lots of states tried lots of ways to make sure they couldn't. One thing that was legal was requiring a fee to be paid in order to vote - this had the knock-on effect of making sure poor white people, who often sympathized with and voted with black people, couldn't vote either. These fees were known as poll taxes, ostensibly to pay the people running the poll and defray the state's cost of administering the election. Normally this was a nominal amount, but if you were a sharecropper or subsistence farmer who was literally counting half-pennies to get by month to month, the quarter that the poll tax required was enormous. Many states kept these poll taxes in one form or another for decades, and they were declared unconstitutional in 1966 by the SCOTUS in Harper v Virginia Board.

If I wanted a Real ID like this executive order required, I would be paying about $80 on the low end, assuming I do not need to pay to acquire any of the several documents I need to prove I am who I am.

Awful nice automotive industry you got here. Be a damn shame if a training accident dropped some bombs on your factory. A real shame, it'd be.

If Mike Vining taught me anything, the accountant-looking guy is always the deadliest.
