It’s an old anti-drug ad from USA.

When made into crack it should be a higher mass since you end up with salt residue from the process. The common use of sodium bicarbonate with coke, yields Coc-H+Cl− + NaHCO3 → Coc + H2O + CO2 + NaCl, where H2O and CO2 are removed by the heating process but NaCl remains, so effectively gaining Na ion. So for every gram of coke processed into crack you gain ~0.076 grams of sodium.

the removals, which were carried out under a 1798 law that plainly states it is only operative in the context of a declared war.

Didn’t read the whole article to see if it touched on this, but I have to wonder if Trump declaring drug cartels as terrorists plays into this. Obviously, most if not all are probably not part of the cartel, but it doesn’t seem to take much for this admin to loosely tie people to their out groups and the other branches not to push back.

I’m cynical about our SCOTUS. While the “Supreme Court affirmed Ali’s earlier ruling but wrote that he “should clarify what obligations the government must fulfill” to comply with his ruling.” I don’t put it past them to pick it apart.

Or SCOTUS will bail him out like they did with the initial freeze, then I think it will be obvious to most, with exception of his base, that all three branches are corrupt and complicit in the coup.

Or it’s made to look like hackers and somehow gets funneled to Donny.

Too bad our SCOTUS is corrupt.

He’ll write a book and go on tour, gotta cash in.

It’s like watching Jan 6th all over again but in slow motion.

That’s the point, you bring it to a screeching halt and they then need to come to the table. But without the social safety nets other developed countries have, people here are reluctant to push back hard. There will eventually be a tipping point in my view in the future.

We’re trying to make it great but some just want to drag us backwards. Fuck you Sinema.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

Susan Collins…? This you?

Not likely after his “Riviera of the Middle East” and knowledge that his son-in-law Jared Kushner has ties will wealthy people in that area. They’re probably salivating to scoop up that land for pennies on the dollars (or free) and have all their wealthy backers develop the land as a resort for the wealthy.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it gets tied to income
