the US states have a lot more freedom in legal sense than indian states, but I am not sure how much is the margin...
why would the red states want to wait for a fading DT to do something other than pour water on the daily fire that people set under his chair ?
Cutting out few airports/airlines does nothing IMO. Except that maybe they have devised countermeasures that they are not willing to share with the 10 airports and the 6 airlines. But how long will it take for those folks to figure out the same thing I just wrote, and pay someone to leak the info? All they have to do is check the email of some US Top Aphsar whose password is "password" or, if extreme, Pa$$w0rd.Your laptop and iPad
Don't leave for the airport with them
I agree....based on validity of visas/parole/485 a lot of small but irritating pain points can be used. like mandate the need to carry original docs all the time and spread some fear by random checks on the roads followed by detainment until someone shows up with originals at the local thana. make them spent a weekend in county jail by doing it late on friday night so that court opens only on monday morning.Gus wrote:that sort of stuff won't stand in courts. at best they can make folks renew license every year based on their I94 and AP dates ..as some waiting for their GC are forced in some states.
Well the plan is to pay lip service to everything regarding immigration except illegal one. That is the only thing Trump saar will act on. Rest everything is gonna be status quo, given how beat up his admin already is at this early stage.pravula wrote:denial or limiting drivers license can cause serious pain.

Singhaji: the See Enn Enn report is that Al-Laugh gave the Momeen a few airport scanners, and they have been sending these ied-books through them until they are quite sure they won't be detected. How much longer then, before one of those gizmos shows up in the hands of abdul strolling thru a fairly remote/small airport INSIDE THE CONUS, that is known for the cluelessness of its workers? Say (never mind) but I can think of quite a few where the screener/ticket agent/gate agent, baggage handler and maybe air traffic controller are all the same person and they can't afford to update their machine every month even if it is not working at all. There is no baggage screening during internal transfers at big airports even to get on international flights. The implications are horrendous. So I don't see what the TeeEssAy can do except total ban unless they have already reconfigured machines inside the CONUS ***at every airport***, which 4 reasons above, does not seem likely.Singha wrote:airlines carry hazardous cargo like certain chemicals with the right paperwork but not all airlines do. generally you are not allowed to pack it yourself but must hand it over to a certified shipping agency who knows all the rules and will do the packing and necessary paperwork.
i think that he failed to get immunity from the FBI and has now publicly asked for immunity citing his 'exemplary' military record - to gain public sympathy. the intel ctte investigation has said no immunity. nunes tried to block sally yates testimony, but now that will come out... it will likely implicate sessions and flynn. flynn has been openly taking money from russia and turkey and advocating their causes...

With a slim majority of 215 to 205, the US House of Representatives just passed a resolution rolling back FCC privacy regulations. Approved last year, the rules required that ISPs get your explicit permission before selling "sensitive data" like your browsing history. The resolution already passed the Senate last week, and now will go before the President, who has said he plans to sign it.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation responded to today's vote with a statement that "If the bill is signed into law, companies like Cox, Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T, and Verizon will have free rein to hijack your searches, sell your data, and hammer you with unwanted advertisements. Worst yet, consumers will now have to pay a privacy tax by relying on VPNs to safeguard their information."
New FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is in support of rolling back the rules, claiming that "the FCC will work with the FTC to ensure that consumers' online privacy is protected through a consistent and comprehensive framework." Once this is signed by the president, it will be up to them just how creepy internet service providers can get.
On the industry side, service providers also make that argument, claiming the privacy rules would've overreached and singled out internet service providers while allowing others like Google and Facebook to sell information. That doesn't, however, take into account how much data our ISP has access to, with the ability to know where you are, who you communicate with and what you say online potentially all up for sale. Also, many customers don't have more than one or two choices for broadband, reducing the possibility for privacy-friendly competition.

HDPE pipes are widely used in the transportation industry to build "smart" highways that provide information to drivers, control traffic signal lights and tollways. The pipes are also used in the distribution of natural gas and by telecommunication companies such as AT&T and Google Fiber.UlanBatori wrote:They kept dem dangerous flammable chemicals such as PROLLY VINYL CHLORIDE under the InterState?

It may well fall below 100% even, a disaster if it happened in Gujranwala.Sounds like someone paid someone to say, hold a propane torch for several seconds at the bottom of the piled stuff. This may have happened 15 minutes b4 the smoke and fire became really noticeable and whoever did it may have decamped long ago. Wonder if they had CCTV in these areas - they do at regular intervals on the Hwy itself.HDPE would have to be exposed to a high-temperature flame for a considerable amount of time to burn, he said.

The Republican congressmen from California themselves pooh-poohed DT's allegation of illegal's voting. Similarly the NH electoral official lambasted DT for his insinuation. Baseless allegations are not proof of anything.
Already Fuhrer's rating is down to low 30's and surely seems to be headed to 0! Perhaps time to admit mistakes and move on?

trying to give cover and now ended up taking cover I believe he wants to take immunity because then he take the whole blame and placate the other perpetrators who maybe much bigger fishes. He may have a limited immunity though so there has to be another angle to it too.Lalmohan wrote:i think that he failed to get immunity from the FBI and has now publicly asked for immunity citing his 'exemplary' military record - to gain public sympathy. the intel ctte investigation has said no immunity. nunes tried to block sally yates testimony, but now that will come out... it will likely implicate sessions and flynn. flynn has been openly taking money from russia and turkey and advocating their causes...
