BREAKING: It is now being reported that the Pentagon is expecting this war to last as long as September.
Below are the costs as of this morning. Note that this does not show the impact on the US economy with rising oil prices and supply chain issues. In other words, this war could cost us hundreds of billions of dollars or maybe more.
I didn’t vote for this did you?
Fun fact: the moment an ICE agent touches your security camera, they’ve basically tripped a legal landmine. Under Jacobsen and Jones, physically interfering with someone’s property without a warrant can count as both a seizure and a trespass. Courts call this a Fourth Amendment violation. Most people call it what it actually is: unlawful meddling with someone else’s stuff. Even the Supreme Court has said officers aren’t allowed to wander past the “knock and talk” boundary or manipulate objects like they're auditioning for a burglary crew (Jardines). So when an agent tilts your camera to hide their behavior, they’re not just being shady. They’re potentially nuking their own case, violating constitutional law, and handing your lawyer a gift-wrapped civil rights claim. Cute move, legally disastrous.

@masfresco The league has pushed “super teams” and the narrative that success is due to a singular player that they have conditioned casuals to not care about the actual teams and the art of the game. The LeBron era has made the name on the back more important than the name on the front.
