"Campaigning for office is not an act in the scope of official duties of POTUS. That seems obvious."

"IANAL IANYL ATINLA and I'm not Reddit's lawyer. This is just me, griping —

I read the Texas law, TXHB20, when it was proposed and when it was adopted.

https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/872/billtext/html/HB00020F.htm

It has a section, Section 8, which I call the Hydra.

> Section 8. (a) … it is the intent of the legislature that every provision, section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word in this Act, and every application of the provisions in this Act, are severable from each other.

> (b) If any application of any provision in this Act to any

person, group of persons, or circumstances is found by a court to be

invalid or unconstitutional, the remaining applications of that

provision to all other persons and circumstances shall be severed

and may not be affected. All constitutionally valid applications

of this Act shall be severed from any applications that a court

finds to be invalid, leaving the valid applications in force,

because it is the legislature's intent and priority that the valid

applications be allowed to stand alone.

Etc, etc. it has many other clauses in that section all to the effect of "if a court leaves so much as an atom of this law in place, we intend to use it, now and in the future".

IMO it's the real payload of the bill, and it's a definitive signal that they will not give up on this power grab until it's entirely disallowed.

That's what that section says: They're not throwing in the towel on this. Ever."

"Mustang is certainly attractive for that scenario. I would suggest that it's highly likely that it's been accounted for in that case. (Think: traffic lights / traffic control / cameras / surveillance).

SH360 differs from Mustang in that it is a 50 MPH+ highway running from Grapevine or Mansfield with an extensive stretch of uncontrolled and unmonitored approach and egress surface (save for the "toll booths" at the airport), which makes it attractive to the kinds of violent extremists that have a cell of terrorists all deploying to hit targets independently (as they did in 9/11) at the same time. Undetected approach, uncontrolled terrain, choice of deployment / targets, ease of getaway. Or martyrdom in the ensuing firefight and chase.

Big and splashy and multiple targets and of course that would involve completely overhauling on a short time frame how people commute into all US airports, and close a major thoroughfare in the midcities permanently. Win for the terrorists.

Taking out a single plane from a hotel room in the ascension path of a runway would be bad, but not the "D/FW airport becomes D/MZ airport" scenario that would ensue from terrorists exploiting SH360.

The metroplex was civil-engineered with the idea that gasoline would forever by be $0.25 a gallon and that redneck good ol boys would run "furriners" out of town by sunset and no one would dare to attack us on our own soil. These were faulty premises."

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.

The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.

Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.

Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
