Smoke is smoke. It doesn't matter what is burning. The facility runs the incinerator. If a mistake was made it's on them. These facilities also typically charge for this service. They had likely disposed of drugs many times prior to this.

If you read the article the cause of the incident was a mechanical malfunction. If animal carcasses were being burned the shelter would still have filled with smoke. Law enforcement routinely uses facilities like these to destroy drugs that can't be just thrown in the trash.

Trump has shown over and over again in the "trade deals" that his version of the agreement did not match reality. Doubtful there was ever a deal to do anything. Probably more of "I'll look into to it" from Manfred.

This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

The R's in Congress know the tariffs are a disaster. That's why they don't want to vote for them. They could overturn the tariffs with a vote too. They are too cowardly to stand up to Trump to do that.

No gun is 'unjammable'. All it takes is one dud round to screw things up.
