  • I try not to watch the main actors in the Trump facade because their posturing is so cringe worthy, but I saw Noem tell an interviewer (or influencer?) that ICE will be at the Superbowl, but she among her reasoning was because “I can” which she said along with a huge shrug of her shoulders. The fucking EGO of these people they don’t actually care about any of this, it’s about the money and appearance of power.

    Point is, I didn’t think there was ever a plan to back away from. When she said this, she only said it because her brain got a dopamine hit thinking to herself about how cool she must look in the video.

    However, Superbowl is still over a week away, and these sensitive souls could kneejerk react to their feels and change their mind any time.












  • While the coastguard was clear that they didn’t mean the bananas

    this does not include perishable goods like foodstuffs.

    everyone here IS following maritime salvage law.

    The “long established” rule is: the owner has all rights to the cargo and wreck, but must compensate those who assist in recovery only if the owner agrees to assistance

    The British maritime law that keeps getting referenced here was put into place initially to ensure that people would be compensated completely when assisting.

    Previously, when it was a raw ‘handshake’ agreement, there would be negotiations before helping which delayed assistance, or Party A would screw over Party B with a low-ball reward, or Party B would just nope out of the situation for fear of not getting reimbursed and risk of damaging their own property.

    The shipping company in this situation asked for assistance and sent a list of missing stuff, especially since they were threatened with penalties for creating a hazardous waterway. If you find missing stuff, you report it, and the government knows already how much you should be compensated and makes sure you get it. In this case, the company wants their expensive refrigeration equipment.

    I have no idea if they offer a reasonable amount, but this was the intent.
