They should unmask and ID to protect THEMSELVES. That is the whole goddamn point of being a uniformed police officer.

It’s also entirely possible that another shiny thing will have caught his eye in that week and he’ll be too busy turning Yellowstone into a hotel or something.
But even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Democratic Party leadership is downstream from committee elections at the state and county levels (+a bunch of other delegates). That is, Ken Martin. Democratic congressional leadership is determined by seniority in the chamber, which for some of them is 25+ years.

Sure. Just sayin that “elected officials should be above the law” isn’t a W.

I can think of at least one elected official who should be arrested.

“There are but two parties now: traitors and patriots. And I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter and, I trust, the stronger party.”

We’ve only been fully out of action for ~4 years. Not that the state of the art hasn’t changed a lot in that time.
Partisanship and the appointment of political officers will do a lot of damage fast too.

In other words, elect a new government to change the way the old government used to work.
And while I share some problems with how (not) aggressive the last admin was in prosecuting this stuff, you won’t push the Overton window by not voting.

Prior government actions can always be overturned by new governments provided they have sufficient consensus. If you want to change this, I suggest that the easiest path forward would be to elect a Congress of which a supermajority want to pass a constitutional amendment.

…more than just vocabulary, I get the impression that a lot of people use the idea of complexity to imply that they are right (a non sequitur) rather than breaking down the complexity into its constituent components to represent the reasons that they are right.

I view this as mostly a failing of continental philosophy (not that analytics don’t also have their niche vocabularies) and the fact that it dominates LGBT-related discourse.

Lmao. Even if you modeled them as particles with random velocities that “bounce” back towards the stream once they get a certain distance from the stream (they start to dry out), you would get quite a lot of migration across the barrier.

While I agree that there are undoubtedly unintended consequences as there pretty much always are, everything except minnows that you mention can probably walk around the generator quite easily. At least in the demonstration, they’re using it for already very modified channels.

Lots of people seem concerned about the fish that I assume generally do not live in the stormwater run off and irrigation canals you would put this sort of generator in.
