I (45M) have a smart, sexy, independent (32F) partner. She graduated magna cum laude from Yale Law, is the youngest junior partner ever at K&E LLP, & works as a stripper every other Friday b/c she loves pole dancing. I want her to be a stay at home housewife. I'm giving her an ultimatum.
AITA?
This one is easy.
Sucks.
And the single biggest reason it sucks is because it's made by Std. Man.; everything they make ends up being absolute dogshit for function.
Also, yeah, Kel-tec did it far, far better with the KSG. Not *well*, but *better*.
If this is a Rubicon, well, we crossed it four years ago, when Russia invaded Ukraine, and we gave Ukraine weapons, training, and intel to kill Russian meat-shields
Russia is doing to us exactly what we did to them, under nearly identical circumstances, i.e., an illegal, unwarranted invasion.
Follow the money. Who are the donors to Mills? Where's the dark money coming from that pays for ads for her? Who supports her? (And yes, dark money/funding sources for PACs is *intentionally* obfuscated.)
She's been solidly okay as governor. But at 78, it's time for her to retire.
...Ellison, Bezos. Murdoch, Zuck, Page/Brin, etc.), when corporations are extracting every cent of value for their shareholders, and on, and on, and on. We need people much farther to the left that aren't just rolling over and playing dead as long as they get super-PACs posting 'issue' ads for them.
...machine that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries so proudly serve, rather than the people. A centrist *ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH*. Someone that doesn't want to upset the corporate money machine isn't what we need anymore, not in a time when almost all media is controlled by a tiny handful of people (Musk,
Oh, neat, so she'd be a one term junior senator, and then we'd get to do this all over again. Cool cool.
But she's still in her 70s, and frankly, I'm sick to death of old, out of touch people getting elected.
Mills is fundamentally a centrist, a life-time cog in the Democratic machine. The same
...club was a deal breaker, WTF did he start dating her in the first place...?
...can accept either one, it means you just aren't invested in the relationship anymore.
I gave my ex- an ultimatum. They went along with what I wanted, albeit resentfully. It prolonged the marriage by about four years, and most of those years were trash.
Also: if owning a porn shop/strip
Any time you are giving an SO an ultimatum--do this or I'm leaving--your relationship is already dead. Giving an ultimatum explicitly means you're going to break up if they don't stop X, and you've decided that you're okay either way. Once you've emotionally detached to the point where you
This is some kind of astroturfing. I've seen exactly the same wording on another post.
If I was going to make a guess, I'd say Russian dis-info; both because Russia wants to polarize the US even more, and because they want the drones that Iran had been selling to them before the US invaded.
...theistic religions; they were concerned that I'd be antagonistic to Muslim and Jewish groups they worked with.)
Assuming the reporting is correct--and people I know I'm the Maine chapter of the Liberal Gun Club indicate it is--that's entirely at odds with fascist or nazi views.
...nazi) and explicitly inclusive org, both in terms of sexual orientation, gender/gender identity, and religion. In my personal experience, you find this out *VERY* quickly when you contact the group. Or talk to any members. (I had a bit of difficulty in GA b/c I'm a Satanist, and oppose *all*
...Except the odds are very, very low that he's a Nazi.
There are indicators that, within the past five years, he was working with the Socialist Rifle Association (SRA) to assist with firearms training. The SRA is explicitly, radically anti-fascist (i.e., anti-

The Janet Mills that's a septuagenarian? The one that, statistically, is unlikely to survive her first term? That one?
Point of fact: Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, et al.; Frothingham v. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, et al. 262 U.S. 447 (1923) days that you do *not* have standing to sue over perceived misuse of taxes that you pay.
It's still good case law.
Sorry.
...violation of the separation clause of 1A. (This has been sharply narrowed by more recent separation clause cases.)
Your only remedy to Congress failing in their legal obligations is to either vote them out, or rebel, violently overthrow the gov't, and guillotine those that were complicit.
But *you* don't have standing to sue, unless you can allege a specific harm *to you* (Massachusetts v. Mellon, 262 U.S. 447 (1923); it's about the use of taxes, but applies generally here). The exception was Flast v. Cohen (392 U.S. 83 (1968)), which was specifically about taxes being used in
Oh I get it. And it's really shitty that we have 'constitutional rights', and yet so many laws get through that limit the ability to exercise those rights, until you almost don't have them. You can protest, but you need a permit, have to pay a fee, can only do it from 4-5p, only in this location...
I don't think anyone has been executed for failing to obey a legal order since WWI.
Officers have definitely been dragged tho.
...And, let's face it, it's likely he *would* get an unconditional pardon.
Honestly, unless Trump is impeached and removed from office *for treason*, I would sincerely expect every single person he's appointed to be given a blanket pardon *if* he leaves office.
And that's a big if.
Possibly, Criminal trespass, for instance, since it's not a place of public accommodation or public property. Noise ordinances if you're using speakers and amplifiers from a distance. Harassment.
1.) They did not, in fact, declare war. Nor was there a declared war in Afghanistan, Iraq (the first time), Grenada, Panama, Vietnam, Korea, etc. They funded them though.
2.) Oh, yeah, 100%. Absolutely no disagreement there.
My only point is that it's not *unconstitutional*.
Congress has tacitly approved it by refusing to use the War Powers Act to cut funding though. If the standard that you're using is that Congress hasn't explicitly declared war, then every use of military force since WWII is unconstitutional.
There's always money available when it's being used to kill brown people.
There's never money available when it might *help* brown people.
It's wild that, like, 99% of the people that post about Nazi this, or homophobe that re: Platner are never going to be in a position to vote for*anyone* in Maine.
Everyone I work with is left of center; absolutely NO ONE wants Mills as senator. Even though she's fine as governor. 🚫🚫
Starting to wonder about silencer design. The PTR Vent 1 is *really* quiet. It's additive printing. Makes me wonder - how much quieter could it get if it was larger diameter, or if they extended it over the barrel like a reflex silencer.
While I think what we're doing on Iran is horrific, and not morally justified--we could have done more, and been more effective, through diplomatic means--I don't think that all of the issues are strictly black or white.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Should we have intervened at that time?
Hell, let's go full *reductio ad Hitlerum*; should we have intervened in Germany, prior to their invasion of Poland, once it became clear that they were going to kill a LOT of Jews, even though, at that time, it was strictly domestic?
