Still US soldiers and I’m still a US citizen.

Can lightning disable a tank? I don’t want the crews to get hurt but four or five M1 Abrams stuck in the middle of Constitution Ave would make for some fucking GREAT b-roll for the nightly news.

Yeah, I bet it’s going to be a fee. A “tariff” on getting your ass in the country. At least with the investment scheme you have skin in the game, you’d like to see that 1m grow into 2m. If you just pay 5m and then fuckoff you don’t get anything back but a green card (?). Of course, green cards aren’t worth the paper they are printed on anymore.

The penultimate paragraph sums it up well

The government has failed to protect us; the government is actively oppressing us; the government has rendered itself the enemy. Not all forms of resistance are advisable, but at this point they are understandable. The regime wants to shatter the social contract? Very well. But that decision cuts both ways.

“somewhere”?

Shit, even the banana republics make you put it in one of their banks.

“Typically, we do everything we can and more to ensure things are not taken to a physical resolution,” VanMeter said. “I would assume you would know that.”

Actually we assume that cops, and definitely cops that choose to be SWAT, are trigger happy goons who didn’t get hugged enough as children.

Like the article says, it’s probably just a replacement for EB-5 visas, which many countries have.

Fuckin’ inflation on that bitch though, went from just over a mil in investment to a straight up $5m fee. Where does the fee go? No one knooooowwwwwwsssssss

yay! another day, another escalation.

Right? This was for simple stuff.

In line with your submission, I kept a Bic pen from brand new to absolutely gone. It took years, but I’m not exactly jotting down notes all day.

Now I carry a nub of a carpenter’s pencil with me and I’m much happier.

… which hasn’t happened yet?

Anyone able to confirm this? Tom Homan isn’t allowed to mobilize CA National Guard so… what’s going on over there?
