This is a great sign that Haaland will get confirmed and I am very excited for it.

e: just realized I misread the tweet and it's from Alaska's representative, not one of its senators, so it's not a sure thing yet. But! Still an encouraging sign.

It’s dumb, but that’s somewhat gracious of him, and imagine had he taken the invitation- that would have been way more monumental than Trump stepping into North Korea. It’d be bigger than carter going to Pyongyang.

Trump almost accidentally did something not terrible.

How does an employer knowingly pay a non-legal resident in the first place? Without breaking the law themselves, that is.

$10 is laughable either way.

That's pretty easy - you pay the lower rate and tell your employees that they'll get minimum if they turn in their paperwork. American business owners are complete scum, as often as not.

The employer isn't paying the farm workers or meat plant employees, they don't work for him. He pays the contractor who hires another contractor who recruits the employees. The contractor is of course assumed to be doing all the legally required compliance to ensure the workers are allowed to be there, are paid the right amounts, and abide by overtime laws. As your crops sit in the field with a extremely limited window for harvest that the local economy depends on.

Cops also said "minor damage" to the vehicle and you can see the pictures yourself so yeah, take any conclusion at this point with skepticism.

EDIT: looking at the road, it didn't go into a gully or anything, looks like the SUV hit the curb and tripped over it. Rollover is always a problem with high center of gravity vehicles. :smith:

Rollover is always a high index of suspicion for serious injuries, but I’d say that’s moderate damage personally to the vehicle.

That doesn’t preclude other major injuries or anything. Especially not without getting a good look at the front of the vehicle in that shot (which seems kinda hosed? Didn’t get a good look).

I'll watch a Garand Thumb video, but he's definitely medium-chuddy. He's one of those types that thinks everyone should get access to any weapon you want, the ATF can go gently caress itself, and has probably unironically used the word "sheeple" outside of videos.

hickok45 definitely has opinions on the best glock for the race war, Garand Thumb would give you opinions for the best AR-15 for civil unrest

Grand Thumb is a lovely person who speeds up his shooting, and hangs out/collabs with known piece of poo poo Lucas from TRex.

I don't watch his poo poo, or any of that promotions channels anymore. He uses a promotional/management company as a whole bunch of lovely shills- IIRC, Tactical Rifleman, Demo Ranch (I do skip through his videos on occasion, but I doubt I've seen more than 25% of a video ever since he collabed with Hickock, someone whom I always thought was a boring piece of poo poo shill), Hickock, Garand Thumb, T Rex, and Brandon Herrera, among a bunch of others all use the same media group.

Modlite called them out for dishonest work, and said the quiet part loud about how there channels work. It was a bit of a stir.

When did hickok45 come out as CHUDy? I don’t watch gun poo poo much at all anymore but last I saw he’d wrote about being accepting of gun people of all political persuasions and also ditching the NRA. Although the video of him with Tucker shooting the M-16 kind of seals it assuming it was filmed any time in the last 5 or 6 years.
