It is over mineral rights) oil and other commodities. If it was honestly about safety or security it would be a moot point because of nato and other treaties that allow what ever defense systems and bases are needed. It is the same thing in Venezuela. If he does anything it is about money, or getting people to stop paying attention to something else. When the news cycle is 24hr it is hard to stay on topic if there is always a new crazy thing going on.

But he seemed to be doing it with just a camera. Is this for pr? Or for something else. Because he was focused on the guy a lot. Also thanks for that info.

Honestly this is part of the the reason why the national guard exists. They are the states well regulated militia

What is the device that the ice agent is holding and focused on the person making the video?

I think the speaker of the house or majority leader can call an emergency session. I am really unsure about all of the rules.

Honestly all can do this based upon where the colder air enters which in most cases is the top and back of the fridge. Be it when cost is not a factor cold spots can be reduced but there will always be cold spots. Being in the door means that it will be less likely to freeze and if freezing does occur, being in the door will be the first to thaw or warm.

100% ignorant here(me not you) but was it not that the victims, the ones sex trafficked, names supposed to be the ones protected. So that there would be redactions but only to keep the privacy of those harmed. Not whole pages?

I do feel bad for miss gendering someone(stranger). But I really do not know the best way to go about it. Is it just to use gender neutral terms at all time?

But so are the republicans for showing no willingness to discuss and change things to get it to pass. You know the thing that they are suppost to do.
