  • Believe it or not, the nebulous nature of the department actually is what makes them more likely to have qualified immunity because their role hasn't been "clearly established" by case law. You couldn't even talk say what "actions as a part of their duties" are. I'm not a fan of qualified immunity.

    As far as suing the government over what DOGE does, good luck figuring out where an agency deputized by executive order fits in here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Tort_Claims_Act

  • Civil cases against government officers are however subject to qualified immunity while ones against the government are subject to sovereign immunity.

  • I've made a lot of tough decisions since I took this position. But none of them harder than this one. You saved us, but you'll kill us. I'm sorry. You're a hero... and you have to leave

  • Exactly. It seems people really need it spelled out to them: he's saying protectionism works in the long term but they're old and will all be dead(a keynes quote "The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead"). He's wrong though. Protectionism, which are essentially self sanctions, can develop an industry as much as not. Nothing's a vacuum.

  • I agree, though increasing snowpack seems to be the most plausible idea, though still a greatly wasted effort.

  • Florida doesn't particularly need cloud seeding(they get plenty of rain and don't need to increase snowpack on the mountains they don't have), so it's kind of a useless exercise. The places that do do it mostly seem to be wasting their time though. The climate change attempts to increase albedo and thus lower temperature are just research exercises at this point.

  • Here at Lemmy we'll deliver fucking idiots right to your computer.

  • And whaddya get?

  • "When I heard the terrible news, I poured myself a small brandy."

    "I parked in front of our house, entered the yard and my wife greets me crying, shouting: 'Petko, Petko, they announced on TV that you have died!'

    I'm sorry for your loss Petko.

  • Hey these guys we've never heard of are cheap, let's hire them to transport stuff for us.

  • Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!

    So he's not just a random idiot like most GOP reps I guess. Not precluding him from being an idiot on account of being a GOP rep though. Kamala won his district so he wouldn't gain much from sucking Trump's dick too often.

  • That's pretty much accurate as to how the state reinforces helicopter parenting nowadays. Institutionalized anxiety starting from the 80s with John Walsh's kid's murder.

  • Gave it to the gun lobby, might as well give it to them too. More externalities means better capitalism you know? The tragedy of the commons is the goal. Burn it all.

  • That's because he still believes he's going to succeed with his appeal. The delusions last for a long time with these folks. He likely put in a hardship appeal to bypass her ban on re-entry for however many years due to overstaying her visa. And he actually believes this administration will sign off on it.

    A successful appeal in a past administration could take well over a year. He's truly fucked under Trump who's actively firing judges that approve too many waivers in their opinion and making the backlog even longer. He's not wrong that the system has been fundamentally broken and nonsensical. He's an exceptional idiot for thinking Trump is going to improve it though.

    Edit: https://www.uscis.gov/i-601 is what I'm talking about

  • I dunno what you mean. This is from the base game.

  • Let me rephrase: most farmers I know could build a two stroke from parts

  • Farmers can build a two stroke from parts.
