Yeah, well that is Texas for you. Earlier in my life I had three separate job offers to relocate to Texas. Every day I am thankful that I never accepted any of them, as do my kids.

agree - also there are plenty of other training grounds they can go to without denying the locals of vital greenspace
but now they get to play army and act like real men and spend 180 million tax dollars

Somebody asked for this. It’s not like legislators have been pursuing this goal for years. Somebody wanted construction workers to not have water breaks.
My money says it’s their employers. For “efficiency.”

Nevertheless someone’s gonna keel over because of this stupidity.
Because a donor asked for it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good idea. Blood money.

Can confim, worth the lengthy read, and I usually have the attention span of a toddler.

He was fingerprinted. They just did it electronically, so no ink stains.
That would be unconstitutional to impose as a condition of pretrial release. A plea deal is, at least nominally, a contract freely entered. Pre-trial release requirements? Not so much.

The Orange Turd still got off lightly …
Because … he’s lighter.
How so?
(Seriously - is there a right to run for president?)

Seems like an abusive SWAT exercise.
The force behind Cop City is the police union. Parcels of property needed for this project were part of a highly dubious, below market trade to a friend of a county commissioner. The union rents the property - originally promised as a park - for a pittance and neither Atlanta nor DeKalb County have any oversight into how the facility will be used/rented. It is important to note that Cop City, run by the Atlanta Police Union, is not within the city limits and is located in a predominantly poor neighborhood.

Fascist GOP (Glorifier’s Of Putin) MAGATS!
Sounds like to me!
What there isn’t is a right to add eligibility requirements for federal office surplus to the explicit constitutional ones. Remember term limits?
ETA: [What I thought was my initial point. Like Drumpf and his de-classifications.] Pretrial, he’s not been convicted. So what is he gaining as consideration for this contract? To avoid jail time at sentencing is one thing. To avoid pretrial incarceration sounds a wee tad coercive to me.
So the Local Yokels decide that these people don’t have certain rights.
And we wonder if anything has changed since 1964.
The South is gonna rise/fail again

Here’s a hot tip: The NRA! They take money from Russia and funnel it out to pay for Congress Critters so they won’t pass any gun laws at all. I also don’t think it is legit to buy the “non-profit’s” leader a mansion, $5,000 suits and yacht trips.
Yeah - make the churches pay their due and collect billions from the NRA and we will no longer have a debt issue at all.
