“Timecards… Timecards… Remember to fill out your timecards”

A senior Secret Service official briefed on the planning for the Wisconsin rally said the agency was “never configured to provide such an elevated level of protection for an increasing number of protected.” The official was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

“Our personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits to sustain the current operational tempo,” the official said. “This proposed Wisconsin event also took place during the United Nations General Assembly, where the Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of over 140 world leaders amid a challenged global threat level.”

Seems like a reasonable justification based on check notes literally everything happening right now.

Weird how OP’s article misses out on this key piece of information. Might be a bit of bias there 🤔.

Now is probably the best time to try counterfeiting US bills.

What else will these liberal doctors take away from us next. Before you know it, they are going to start telling us competitive paint huffing is somehow bad for you.

Toxic algae is an externality that companies have no moral obligation to be concerned about. Ezpz.

FBI not eff-bee-eye.

I’ve never read a Star Wars book but this makes me unreasonably unset upset.

Its not just the volume of publishing, but the conclusion of the paper if you publish a paper and the result is boring (the X had negligible impact on Y but its inconclusive) you might still put your grant at risk.

Wake me up when CNN anchors start referring to Taiwan as “West Hawaii”

Why not both!

No country takes action based on moral grounds. They only take action for their self interest. This is international relations 101. Sometimes these align! Sometimes… not so much.

What Taiwan has done is made the “good” outcome (Taiwan remains free and independent) align with the US’s self interest (having computers and a tech based economy).

The US will always exert power over Taiwan, so will China. That’s just what great powers do. However, China doesn’t need to threaten an invasion to do this. There is no reason China can’t relinquish their claim on Taiwan and just build a casual trade relationship with Taiwan.

but we expect to produce “thousands upon thousands” of fancy new drones?

I think Taiwan can absolutely help support the US in producing thousands upon thousands of new drones.

Yes. Defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion that threatens their sovereignty. One that is continuously threatened by China and one Taiwan actively prepares for.

Smells like some policies are getting changed

Imagine using a cat for target practice at work and not getting fired.
