The complaint itself is disheartening, but isn’t necessarily about it being an indigenous flag; if the strata has a rule against hanging flags from balconies, it could just be that the strata didn’t know about the flag law, and someone didn’t like it in general (and would have complained no matter what flag it was).
Personally, I think it would be great to give this particular flag the same protections as a civic flag.
Isn’t a party just a coordinated mass candidacy?
I presume they mean in a single riding, but still….
I always assumed it was sheep dip.
Er, I think they mean “Scientists aboard Great Lakes research vessel discover new life” don’t they?
The goo wasn’t really on board; it was on rudder.
Well, the thing about being a criminal is that it means you’ve been convicted of a crime.
Trump is a criminal. But he was born in the US to US citizens.
The goal is to make all sorts of things crimes such that it’s almost impossible to function in the US as a foreigner without committing a crime. At that point, the government can choose the people to deport at their whim.
Since birthright citizenship is being struck down, and this government interprets the constitution as only applicable to citizens, expect Trump to attempt again to pass legislation for more types of citizenship nullification.
One tricky bit is, if you’re declared legally dead, you immediately become an illegal resident if you’re still alive. And DOGE has already declared a number of people dead by misinterpreting a few databases.
Why not both?
Reality is complicated. Things like our GI system are very complicated, with many different things that can go wrong.
Think about the question “what would happen if you filled a kiddie pool over the maximum capacity? Would it leak over the top, or would the sides collapse?”
Your immediate answer would probably be “well, that would depend on the pool.”
Likewise, in this case, it would depend on the person.
It really is a case of projection, isn’t it?
This reminded me of all the Republican rallying cries against “cancel culture” around removing monuments to not-that-great men and people refusing to spend time on sites whose core values they disagreed with.
And now we’ve moved to these same people removing any reference to actual heroes of history if they happen to have not been successful white heterosexual men.
Cancel culture indeed.
To play devils advocate, there are the same number of 911 operators, and if the police are sent, they’ll most likely end up helping the federal employees in anger.
There’s plenty of homes being built; the problem is that there are no homes someone making under $120k/year can buy.
I see most kids under 10 wearing a bicycle helmet. Of course, kids under 10 shouldn’t be riding these, as they’re designed to carry heavier loads.
Anyone 16 or older? It grabs my attention if they ARE wearing a helmet.
Instead we’re stuck listening to Vogon poetry.
