Can we strip people with, say, 34 felonies of their citizenship and deport them to an arbitrary country?

'Member that time France granted citizenship to someone that thwarted a terrorist attack?

Here the US be kicking out those who help.

Just watch the segment. He's asked 3 times if he condemns the phrase which many consider to be a call to violence and 3 times he levies condemnation toward the sentiment. While he doesn't say "yes, I condemn 'globalize the intifada,'" he said it's not appropriate to police speech, he'll lead by example, he's listening to the people of NY when drafting policies such as his significant increase in funding for anti-hate crime funding, and that his policies and the language he uses need to reflect respect for all people.

I'd argue his actual response is a much more appropriate condemnation than just saying "yes" and moving on.

Ah the Covid approach to hurricanes. If you stop looking for them they cease to exist.

A bit older, but still great IMHO: Sanctum 2 and its DLC go on sale for $3 every sale. I've sunk over 450 hours into this FPS TD hybrid. The DLC is worth getting as well as it doubles the content of the game.

Titanfall 2 is about $5 and offers a diverse and creative SP campaign with mixed soldier and mech combat. I've played it at least 5 times.

Mirror's Edge is $7 with a robust parkour mechanic and alright, if not a little dated story. I've also played this at least 5 times.

For more casual offerings: A Short Hike, Alba, Firewatch, Smushi Come Home, Röki, Journey, Turnip Boy, Scanner Sombre, Deepest Sword, Yono, Snakey Pass, Baba is You

Other Games I've enjoyed: Portal 1&2, Full Metal Furies, Superhot, Borderlands 1&2, Mothergunship, Echo, High On Life, Crab Champions, Gunfire Reborn, Journey to the Savage Planet, Hades, Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice

You know how when you sit by a fire and the smoke comes toward you and it kinda sucks? What if the air was like that everywhere? With the power of pollution we can turn that dream into a reality!

I've used it to play Doomlings with some friends across the country. Pretty straightforward to set up custom cards and layouts. The UI is sparse, but has what you need.

As a virtual environment it's unobtrusive and allows the actual game you're trying to pay to be front of mind.

As a piece of interactive media there are some times that it lags or the physics is a bit clunky.

I've not used the proprietary competitors, so my comparison is just with playing the game in person. It's free though so worth just trying it out.

It's only trinitite if it's from the Trinity test site. Otherwise it's just sparkling melt glass.

Also no one around today really came from the Confederacy. It's not anyone's heritage. It was around 160 years ago and lasted less time than Obama's presidency. Anyone claiming it today is just using it as a crutch for their hatred and bigotry.

Branding them as "terrorists" over a "disgraceful ... act of vandalism." 🤨

Check with your local family friendly establishments like zoos or museums (or even hotels) if they have any old lost and found items they'd be willing to donate. That can be a good way to get reusable water bottles, hats, and umbrellas. Just keep in mind that many of them may have existing partnerships for this so if they refuse you can try to see if/who they work with and join forces with them.
