This should be a prime example of why “defund the police”. This situation doesn’t need cops enforcing a cordon, it needs firefighters, EMTs, social workers, code enforcement, etc. Basically every civic function other than useless law enforcement, but I bet this city is spending a third to a half of its budget on cops.

And of course, 38%

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

How can you loving live with yourself? People have been pulled from rubble 9 days later in places without roads. I'm sure you have local assets like SAR/Fire/Project Rubicon that would do it for the experience alone.

It's for real some Black Mirror poo poo. You're trapped under there thinking of dogs and search & rescue tearing through the rubble by hand if need be to find trapped survivors like yourself but that noise you hear is a bulldozer coming to push the rest of it down on top of you.

This is unironically the future libertarians want. If those people wanted to be rescued from that building they should have found a Free Market solution.

And no, you're not crazy, the fucks that run that city government should be :killdozer:

It appears the mayor of one of the Quad Cities may be the registered business agent for the company that owns this building. Which would explain the hurry to tear it down.

To cover up malfeasance in construction, presumably.

I figured it'd be the company pressuring/ bribing the city to bulldoze the building for that reason, but, uh, this is a little more direct I guess.

Hope that dickhead is held criminally and civilly responsible.

A close affiliate of the National Football League Players Association has been unable to collect $41.8 million of licensing and sponsorship revenue and pay it to the union as of the close of its fiscal year, the organization disclosed in its annual report filed last week with the U.S. Department of Labor. The figures appear tied to the collapse of the crypto marketplace, a person who has been involved in NFLPA dealings and a representative of another sports union who are both familiar with the process, and likely underscore similar issues at other sports unions and leagues.

It's hard to find anything to laugh about in this because, yes, while Trump continues to be one of the biggest idiots on the planet, he's still fervently worshipped by a huge chunk of this dogshit nation and continues to suffer no consequences for any of his idiocy.

Like, at least Musk's hubris is actually causing Twitter to crumble (if slowly).

You're thinking about it too hard and too deep. Just look at the surface-level of the whole thing and laugh like hell. Donnie has a super-easy intent-based defense against the classified document thing, so long as he didn't waive classified papers around at mar-a-lago and didn't say on a tape that he knew that the documents were still classified.

So naturally, there's clear evidence of both. That's funny as hell, stop right there.

Edit: double funny from Orin Kerr on Twitter:

I gather, from the context, that these are recordings Trump knew of, not secret ones, taken by people interviewing Trump for an ‘autobiography’ on behalf of Mark Meadows.
