Looks like neither plane was flying, and one was even stationary during the incident, so I don't think it is as newsworthy as the title tries to make it.

I don't know much about UK elections, but from what I see on Wikipedia it deploys different voting systems and even fptp is really a fptp system + party list so not exactly the same.

In US there truly is just a single election where you give a single vote for the candidate and whomever gets more votes wins.

Yes, there are primary elections too, but those aren't real elections, they are elections run by the parties to pick up their candidate. They actually could not hold election and just pick up the candidate themselves and that's what they often do for a second term.

The way it works with FPTP in US is that it naturally forces two parties, as you generally are forced to vote against someone and not for someone. This is because of there are two good candidates and one bad, the vote splits and the bad candidate wins due to spoiler effect. So people try to predict which candidates will likely win and vote for the lesser evil.

So no one in 3rd party has any chance, and generally most of the times the people who are running 3rd party are just pathetic.

Sometimes when a serious candidate runs in 3rd party it generally spoils for the candidate with similar views. That's how Bill Clinton won against HW Bush

Who? Normally this prison is for Salvadorans.

I don't think they expected that guy getting recognized. They called them foreign alien terrorists to make sure the reaction is negative.

More and more looks like what is really going on is that trump thinks to use this prison/death camp to get rid of his opposition and using foreign country is to skip the US Constitution.

Those people were sent to test the ground, he just looked for immigrants with tattoos so he could call them gang members.

One this worked the plan (and he admitted himself) was to send the "worst of the worst" US citizens there.

The problem is that now he is deciding who is "worst of the worst".

The reason he is doing this in stages is to get people to get used that sending people without trial to foreign prison is normal.

Bloodiest wars in world's history were religious wars.

I am Catholic myself and I know a lot of people that call themselves Christians and are for death penalty.

Also we don't even know the religion of current dictator/president, so I think that argument is moot.

My fear is that this is continuation of sending 250 people to death camp in El Salvador. Perhaps this is vote an attempt to do the same with an US citizen.

But why? Keeping each prisoner alive costs.

Looking at the Google Earth pictures, it looks like this isn't a prison but a death camp.

Maybe that's why they are fighting so hard to bring him back, because everyone would learn what they did.

Edit: if your didn't see the posts, search CECOT on Google maps. It also looks like there might be mass graves up north.

They sent them to jail, yet we don't know what they exactly did (all they told us they were in a vegetable gang), we don't know how long they supposed to be jailed and how would they finish serving their sentence. Most of those people aren't even from El Salvador, so where would they go after.

It looks like they are never meant to leave the place and the payment was one time, so it looks like he just outsourced the killing.

Great, now Germany gets slapped with additional 10% tariffs, because of penguins.

If it is, then perhaps people could ask Grok about those things and get real answers.

But yeah it looks like the tariffs likely came from ChatGPT, so they believe LLM actually thinks.

Wait, that's today at 9pm ET

He suspended it for 90 days and also previously threatened that there will be more, so we don't even know if next week there won't be new tariffs.

Actually 4 casinos:

Trump Taj Mahal in 1991, Trump Plaza and Trump Castle in 1992, and Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts in 2004

The market reaction is dumb. 90 days bus very little for companies to adapt when years are needed.

I think this but it's just the people seeing his tweet immediately before he lifted the restrictions.

Looks like we are still heading for recession and Treasury bills interest is still jumping up.

I think he tries to convert America to Russia. Consolidate all power, make people so miserable that they won't have time to protest as they will be figuring out how to survive.

Those are jobs not only Americans don't want, but there is not enough to fill.

We already had a low unemployment.

Isn't it interesting that every single Republican in office during that time had 2 each?

Yeah.

I don't consume any of the above (except alcohol occasionally, but even that's rare), was just making fun that weed was somehow special.

We don't know how it ends and those 250 people might never get out.

People are trivializing it because "trump is stupid" but the damage is real.

Well about plant that God made, tobacco is also a plant. And alcohol is just fermented grains/fruits/vegetables. So also are God made.

His left or my left?
