Don’t take this as a defense of the current administration but this is a baseless thing to say and honestly nothing points at this being the case. They are just doing everything carelessly and without any regards for decency or due process in order to deliver on their promise to export all immigrants. This is the bone they throw to their base in order to maintain support while they grift their assess off pulling all kinds of corruption behind the scenes. It’s clear at this point that there is no ideological backing to Trump, it’s all about enriching himself.

But here’s why these happens: they are not looking at each case individually they are simply canceling visas en masse hoping that cases like this will self flag. Which was the case here. It’s not a good way to go about things but the conman ran on doing just this, this is what the voters chose and in a way it’s his duty to do so. I don’t agree with it but that’s democracy at work.

Second there’s no mechanism for a president to declare martial law. I mean he can declare it as much as you can declare you’re brankrupt, but that is not the same thing as going through the process of bankruptcy. The only ones that can actually declare martial law are the states. There are various laws that prevent the deployment of the military inside the US in such a way.

Of course you could retort with something along the lines of “do you think the laws still matter?”. In which case we can sit here and dream up all kinds of things they could do if they really wanted to do what you say. Like start rounding up immigrants and shooting them on the spot. Or maybe they could start bombing sanctuary cities. Why not drop a nuke in Chicago? It’s all game since the laws don’t matter and they explicitly want people to revolt. Hell why not put everyone that is registered as a democrat behind bars, that’ll do it in a day.

It is not even clear to me that a martial law would be successful in the US except in the cities. Too much space, too many armed people. So please stay grounded in reality.

So far it seems to be an issue with the Legion itself. The ROG Ally sees no meaningful improvements with SteamOS.

Bloodborne.

It’s also easy to tell most lemmyzens are PC gamers since I hardly saw anyone mention it and it is OBJECTIVELY THE GREATEST GAME EVER MADE.

It has the most insane user tracking you can imagine given how hard it is to evade bans. The system will literally flag you as a possible ban evader through your behavior only. So not even having a VPN and a new device can hide your identity completely. You have to act different to throw the system off.

Probably just a heart attack

I wish for that too. But we’re talking about the society we live in, not in the idealized one we wish we lived in. In the one we live in the situation happened and I don’t think the cops were completely wrong to act the way they did. Could and should they have done something else, I guess all the comments point to yes, but that doesn’t mean that they were entirely wrong to act the way they did. I would not put my own life on the line if I’m in the position of having to defend myself against a rabid meth head trying to steal my rifle.
