The police shoving the meter right into the speaker shows how whack this is. Measurement of sound varies a ton, and if they just stood back they wouldn't be "injured" by a 90db speaker
It's even worse when one side in it's entirety says "this person has dementia and is unfit to lead", then immediately chooses to vote for the person that's roughly the same age instead of somebody two decades younger.
When the progressive or leftist or liberal group says it, they mean it. When the right wing media says it, they are just repeating the normal propaganda news cycle.
This administration has repeatedly shown not to care about the status or criminal history of any non-US-born person. Also, they have revoked the status of legal migrants to be able to call them "illegal migrants" directly after, despite them doing everything correctly and being in America legally until the rug was pulled out from under them.
And aside from all of that, why are we okay with the government even thinking of doing this to anybody??? That should be a major red flag even as something they are considering. But based on their previous actions, it's definitely something they want to do, which is even worse
EDIT: Just realized your username is "freedom advocate". You of all people should be against this.
Yes, you're talking about a personal "payout" thats probably only 2-3 years of a salary? That's not much of a "payout" that's just a nicer severance package. If you built a company that wasn't about to go under, it's not worth handing it to some asshole for practically nothing
7 figures??? That's not selling out, that's just trying to get anything for a sinking ship if you sell for a million. Thats barely covering salary+expenses for 2-5 engineers depending on level and location.
Ironically, straight out of the communist country playbook. Go to Lao even today, there is a midnight curfew because you shouldn't be out late, you should be up early to work!
What more power will a government shutdown give trump, than what he's already taken for himself? Republicans in Congress already will let him do whatever he wants, he is already defying the judicial branch, he has full dictator level power in the government at the moment. And Schumer voted to continue that status quo instead of changing it.
US soil is a completely different thing than the geographic US
