Not unlike the CCP.

The acting police chief of Seattle (acting because the black female chief resigned rather face a punitive pay decrease among other things) said today that they will start arresting rioters who destroy property or assault people.

He said the SPD has the support of the city attorney. The Seattle city attorney, Pete Holmes, is mostly famous for not prosecuting anyone.

The chief said it had nothing to do with who occupies the whitehouse.

It is not part of the problem, it is part of the plan.

How else are we going to get bi-partisan support for the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2021

Conflating the facts is very useful to ones who are trying to establish or control a narrative.

Many of these people are cheering for the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2021.

Turning your phone off or leaving it at home is already used to identify suspects.

And if you make a mistake on a date or location, you are open to be charged with a making false statements -- a felony if you do it a federal agent.

Are any of those innovations?

It seems to me they are all boring, obvious, copied, or purchased products that complement their ad selling business.

Credit is due for taking advantage of the west's naivete and greed.

Most-favored-nation (MFN) trade status renewal came with conditions. Few if any were met by CCP China and yet American administrations continually renewed MFN for CCP China. Ultimately President Bush (#43) made it permanent.

They opened the door that enabled CCP China to drink the West's milkshake.

CCP China is thriving because of liberal capitalism -- the flood of hard currency that otherwise was unobtainable made all the difference.

CCP China should build monuments to President Bush (#41) and President Clinton. Otherwise they would have went the way of the USSR.

edit: and President Bush (#43) for making most-favored-nation trading status with CCP China permanent.

All 2-way walkie-talkie type radios are covered by the FCC.

Similar to the ATF reminding folks that firearms should not be used to commit crimes.

The warning applies to GMRS walkie-talkies too. I doubt folks were using HAM bands.

They are still active, just not violent.

I took a technical writing course in engineering school and much later a legal writing course in law school.

After LS when I started writing stuff that mattered, I studied Bryan Garner's Lawprose work. At one law firm they invited him in to give a class. I really learned a lot from his books.

One thing I hold on to closely is to respect the time of your reader. (Especially busy people like judges.)

Sounds like a good way to blow your cover. Much better to play it cool and get hired into the target agencies/offices directly.

President Obama's DOJ broke the asylum system by allowing local non-state crime or poverty to be grounds for claiming asylum. This change triggered the family/children caravans and general flooding of the border with women and children.

When I used to do employee-side employment law, the story of almost every client or potential client included a visit to HR that preceded workplace retaliation and/or termination.

Back in the day my first tech job was at a startup. The VP of Engineering was the first person to tell me to never be loyal to a company. This came up in a one-on-one meeting where we were discussing a pending merger with a larger corp. I began to mumble something about wanting to be loyal to the company and he immediately cut me off to tell me to never be loyal to a company, including the one we both were in at the time.

That is malice.

Accidentally unleashing a process that harms people is negligence. Not caring that you are being negligent is malice.

Congress can change the treaty at-will.

In McGirt v OK, the SCOTUS held that Congress did not take the necessary action to rollback/modify the prior treaty as it applied to criminal jurisdiction.

Ambiguities result in increased litigation expense. Each argument over what a term means or how it should be interpreted is very expensive. These kinds of disagreements often need to be resolved early in the case by expensive motion practice.

It is much cheaper if both sides are willing to stipulate that they are in agreement with what the terms mean. Then you can get to fact finding and settlement talks with less upfront cost.

Correct. FB is far more dangerous than Parler ever was.

While severance benefits may help with company goodwill or assuage the feelings of the survivors, I believe the real reason is mostly number 2.

Exit aggreements almost always come with liability/discrimination disclaimers and usually new or updated language related to disclosures, company equipment, digital access, IP rights, non-compete language, and so on. Tying the exit agreement to new money provides the necessary consideration to establish a valid contract.

The group plan covers employees. Former employees are not going to be eligible. Though the company can pay the COBRA premiums for the same coverage fairly seamlessly.

I was part of a group that split from a company, our new company paid COBRA premiums for our people until we set up our own group plan for the next year.

Imagine if they published a portion of the contents of a laptop they legally owned.

Same for my family members that escaped Vietnam. They lived though the fall of South VN and the rise of Communist VN. They see and feel similarities now that scare and depress them.

Was that before or after many high-level Democrats and Celebrities denounced Trump and committed to resistance on Nov 3, 2015.

4+ years of no-quarter given raging against Trump has set the tone for the future of America. I don't think anyone is going to like that future.

This will lead to more violent unrest -- it will be seen as more "proof" that Big Tech, Big Media, and Big Gov are aligned against them.

Crazies on /pol/ and elsewhere use the term acceleration to celebrate actions by either side that move society closer to violence. This move by twitter will be welcomed by them.

Extremists will view it as positive because it reinforces one of their chief rallying cries. It will been welcomed by many as an acceleration towards violent civil unrest.

“I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be when people realize that this is a policy that they defend"

Arrest the conspirators and thank them for their candor.
