Nope. Don’t recall. Maybe that’s how much relevance you bring.I've mentioned a few times what kind of law I have practiced the last 18 years following a decade of design/construction law litigation and transactional work. You must have missed it. But I'm the clown?

Nobody said anything about burying transmission lines (even though there are some being undergrounded). Damage to those type of structures is usually limited and local to the most severe storm impacts. You think we have trees sitting on transmissions lines for a week after a hurricane? Florida has few trees even tall enough to reach. If there is damage it’s prioritized and usually fixed pretty quickly.You want me to spend any amount of time to explain that trying to bury the types of electric transmission lines that would prevent massive outages in hurricanes wouldn't cause your electric bills to quadruple? Someone needs to go fuck themselves. But it isn't me. I can't believe even a few of you went down this path.
If you want a dissertation about what comprises every bit of your electric bill, I can do that. But one component is the cost of keeping the grid running at a reasonable level of reliability. Burying the high voltage transmission system to prevent a few days of outages every few years would literally quadruple your annual utility bill. Probably more. Burying your neighborhood distribution lines is simple. Burying a 345kV transmission line that feeds cities is like building an underground subway across an entire state.
But, fuck me, right?
GitmoThe Alcatraz news feels like a Q proof.
I was thinking there was one regarding GITMO being reactivated and another unnamed site in the proof.
The thread speculated Diego Garcia at the time, but turns out it was The Rock instead.
I understand they are expanding Gitmo. Also talking about deporting illegals to Rwanda or Libya. Never said they would deport them to their country of origin. If they want to go there, they had better self-deport.Gitmo
El Salvador
Alcatraz
I am sure there is plenty of fraud sprinkled in there too.I appreciate what he has done for free speech, and shining a light on government fraud. But dude is full of shit. I would bet most of these are employees who where fired, filed for and received benefits, and then were reinstated with backpay. I am one of those employees. I just cut a check to repay unemployment benefits today, ironically.
Guess who approves any and all unemployment benefits for federal workers.....the federal government.
You can see the stench in the room. 2 despicable scumbags. I hope Trump sets up
Could save taxpayers $$ and just do the same thing with Epstein Island. Chum the water from the barge 200 yards off shore. Blockade the island, nothing gets in or out.I say bring all the shitbags down to the pier, start chumming for sharks and then make them swim to The Rockif you make it, you can starve to death instead of being eaten alive.
