These people are goingto be really pissed off if we ever pull out of this death spiral. Then the FBI is going to be at a serious disadvantage when the next Tim McVeigh tries to pull something. From my pessimistic perspective it seems like there will be a pretty serious attack that could have been prevented if Republicans hadn't let politics get in the way.

I'm surprised they're hasn't been one yet. Anyone know of any isolated loaners stockpiling 5.56 ammo and nitrate fertilizer?

When Nashville flooded in 2010, some people without insurance got assistance to rebuild, but a lot of people were straight hosed and had to dig it out of their own asses.

During South Carolina's "1000-year flood" there was funding available since flooding wasn't an expected event in the Midlands.

How much it actually helped or how many actually applied before the deadline I don't know but it was put out on all the local news outlets and radio stations constantly.

The original Comey firing letter was so legally problematic that White House Counsel spiked it, leading to the Rosenstein letter. It was stated by Stephen "Forehead" Miller, so it was likely truthful-ish about Trump's reasons for the firing. Might even mention Russia!

Mueller now has that letter, though it's unclear what's in it.

So with all the people affected by Harvey with flooded houses and no flood insurance; are all those people just hosed? Like if your house got completely flooded, there's nothing to do except take out a loan to try and repair what you can, right?

Just wondering if there's any other nexus for people getting helped out by this, or if everyone is just hosed and goes into a poo poo ton of debt to get their houses back to normal.

Depends on what Congress works out over the next few weeks but usually people are able to apply for some sort of aid or be bought out by the feds. But remember that this is the GOP and specifically the Texas GOP that we're talking about so they might just tell people "tough poo poo".

The FBI and DOJ have been warning about the KKK and white nationalist type groups for years now. Certain specific groups have been labelled as such, or their operations have been called (domestic) terrorism as needed. Just because the other groups aren't mentioned in a new bulletin about recent far left activity, doesn't mean they suddenly stop caring about the other side.

They were selling a $400 juicer with a subscription for their dumb juice service but the machines themselves probably cost more like $1200 to produce.

This guy is an electrical engineer (or something) who dismantles one and he's super-impressed with their high quality molded parts.

Honestly tech wise the juicero is beautifully designed and made, but over made (well done though it is)

I think they wanted to be "not JUST a juicer, it's like buying and being part of whatever Apple is or whatever" but it didn't work because even hipsters realized it's just a fabrege egg of a Capri Sun squeezer.

Holy poo poo, you weren't kidding. They might have been able to do just a premium health food company, but they must have lost tons on each machine. What the hell kind of "lifestyle" is there in squeezing juice bags?

I'm going to laugh really hard if that wall gets built and it's found out that they used illegal immigrant labor to build it. Doubly hard if they find out that the laborers built all sorts of backdoors and holes into it.

The closest the article gets to that is some of their activities have been classified as domestic terrorism - the article mentions nothing about antifa in general or any actual antifa groups in particular being named as terrorist organizations.

In Trumpian fashion I think building these idiotic test walls is a good thing for the non-bugfuck portion of the country trying to salvage things from the poo poo fest things have become. If Trump was smart he'd dump some large-to-a-person yet meaningless to the federal government amount of money into a few miles of fence and then 99% into a defense contractor blowjob of "virtual fence" and then claim victory. Ya know, the kind of thing smart Republicans have been doing for years.

Trump....is not smart. He demands his big, dumb, glorious, probably gold plated, possibly solar paneled, definitely full size, solid competitor to The Great Wall. Building example pieces of that and getting pictures of them put out makes it a lot harder to pull off the smart approach.

Edit: Also everyone with even one half a vaguely functioning brain cell farting out some signals gets to laugh at the idea of them being tested with only hand tools as a part of their design proofing.

Read they were being gently caress sticks about letting people know what chemicals they have and what the risks are. Their laughable justification was "terrorism". Go go Texas deregulation efforts! Invisible hand of the free market means they'd never do something shady that costs others lives/livelihoods!

Also, they didn't have an explosion. They had a chemical reaction that resulted in rapid containment breach and an exothermic reaction!
