In this case they’re trying to sue the government itself which has sovereign immunity, not qualified. Congress passed a law that allowed some channels past that sovereign immunity but the courts have been very conservative as to how it’s interpreted. That’s the federal torts claims act. One of the key things it doesn’t cover is intentional torts. So if someone though negligence hit you in the mouth and knocked the teeth out, you can sue. If, by contrast, they did it through malice and battery you cannot but you can break through their personal qualified immunity if you could prove malice. Good luck

Applicability of the federal torts act to sovereign immunity is always a good point of discussion.

Watching this guy barreling down a waterslide while drinking whiskey with a pack of cigarettes at hand and a crystal ashtray while wearing a full suit with your family at your side is funny as fuck. Kim sure knows how to put on absurd state events.

China is largely dominating the electric bus market too. I doubt Europe particularly wants to bootstrap a lithium mining and refining industry to compete though. The Chinese companies are that vertically integrated.

Getting a liberal with ethics. Good luck.

A definitive defeat now would permanently end his career as a politician

Based on the results reported that’s already in the bag. There’s no doubt he can’t govern with what his current support looks like.

The really crazy part about this war is it’s the same pastoralist vs agriculturalist conflict we’ve been having as a species since the neolithic.

Saudi has been in a cold war with Iran for decades because it wants to be a regional hegemon and hasn’t been quiet about it. Turkey is more circumspect, giving everybody face while cutting them off at the knees in the shadows. Egypt, by comparison, would much prefer to stay out of everybody’s business and have them stay out of theirs. They’ve got more interests in Sudan and Ethiopia at this point.

What’re we suddenly considering the Saudis and the Turks the moderating influence in the middle east now and Israel and the US aren’t even in the equation? Jesus Christ.

They often keep that shit in tanks outside, particularly depleted(figuring out what to do with depleted uranium hexafluoride is often a challenge and the US has a truly staggering amount of full tanks just sitting around waiting to leak). Once it hits air you get hydrofluoric acid gas which will spread thanks to the explosion and will kill you in small concentrations(as low as 30 ppm). It’s awful and blowing it up to spread it everywhere is even more awful. The only thing worse would be bombing a purex plutonium reprocessing plant. That is just as toxic in different ways but you can make the tanks go prompt critical thanks to changing it’s geometry and it has actual fission products you can spread around. Those reprocessing plants were a main plank in how north Korea got their bomb.

I wouldn’t care about radiation. I’d care about aresolized uranium hexafluoride though. A toxic acidic reactive heavy metal gas? Delicious. It’s more dangerous than weapons grade uranium by a mile.

Upon activating my emergency lights and sirens, the vehicle tapped on its brakes several times, but it continued to proceed without stopping for approximately 30 seconds, despite having several safe, lit areas to pull over

Fucking cops just like to make up absolute bullshit to justify their stops and searches sometimes.
