Vatican is also colored green, implying that the Vatican is larger than the Vatican. This is true anarchy.

Did any of you read the article, or did you just read the headline and jump to push anti-trump propaganda?

I dislike stripping down ATCs, who are already overworked. But this ain't related to that. This was a PPL crash on an uncontrolled airstrip. I struggle to imagine how this is Trump's fault.

Next House Hearing: Hearing not scheduled Calendar: Bill currently not on a House calendar

But it hasn't even hit the house. This is the American legislative process. Any bill can be introduced and read. It takes a lot to be placed on the calendar, but even then doesn't guarantee any chance at passing. So no, this is literally no further than "the musings of a Canadian backbencher who spouts his stupid opinions".

Yeah, I was trying to find something like that to back up my point. Article, AFI, SecDec report, Pentagon statement, etc, but couldn't find anything. There's someone else in the thread who posted some pictures of these teams without nametapes, but that's not much stronger evidence than my word.

Hell or High Water. Fantastic utilization of visuals combined with smooth and enjoyable music. Love the whole trilogy, but this is my favorite of them.

The practice originates from prisoner movement during our global war on terror. It was due to concern over domestic operatives targeting armed forces members, which is not new. The linked story is an example of this being used to instill fear.

While I don't think this equates at all for simple deportation flights, this seems to be the underlying justification for the above tactic, be it to prevent retaliation or "making an example" to scare away further attempts at deportation.

Again, I didn't think this concern is nearly as founded as it was during global war on terrorism, but this is what I think is the justification.

That's the general idea, yes.
