  • House Democrats Committee Release Report with Whistleblower Accounts and Internal Documents on Trump's Hijacking of America's 250th Birthday to Enrich Himself, Sell Access, and Harvest Americans Data

  • Except reps aren't nobles. We voted for them and they voted for genocide. So are you going to hold every voter responsible? We didn't do anything different than they did. We all just voted and people died. Are we going to throw everyone who ever voted for Biden AND Trump into jail? Does that sound like a practical solution? No?

    Yes, of course I want the right punished. Trump and his cabinet should never see the outside of a cell again. Of I had my choice ever Trump supporter would have their citizenship stripped and would only have it back when they learned what being a citizen actually means.

    I'm all for treating Israel as a state that enacted genocide and prosecuting its officials and military as war criminals. But that is for the international community, not just us. America acting as world police is part of the problem.

  • What have representatives done that affected Gaza besides vote? That's the only thing you could arrest them for.

  • Immunity for elected officials is unfortunately necessary. Imagine if someone like Trump could arrest Democrats for how they voted. The only justice we can give Gaza is working to rebuild what was destroyed and preventing Israel from fucking with their state going forward.

  • Even with my expectations low, I'm usually still disappointed. Everything comes second to getting Trump and his goons out of power because without that democracy is over. A Dem fully funded by AIPAC is still better than a Republican any day. Yeah, I prefer DSA, but I'll take what I can get.

  • Iran and Lebanon maybe, but nobody is going to jail for the genocide in Gaza. I hate it, but it's never happening. US law grants immunity to prosecution for official duties and no foreign army is big enough to force the matter.

  • Most recently they have blocked the SAVE act so far. That's the one Trump needs to steal the election.

    A bunch of stuff has been blocked that forced Trump to do it through executive order which was then blocked by Dem diatrict judges (for example Birthright Citizenship and the mail-in voting ban). Other stuff was blocked and then forced through budget reconciliation votes which necessitated stripping non-economic elements (like anti-trans legislation and immigration restrictions).

    I don't blame most people for not knowing these things because it is all boring as fuck and Dems suck at advertising their successes.

    Edit: Dems also need to figure out how to ditch support of Israel without getting tarred and feathered as antisemites by people who can't understand nuance.

  • The right is going to call whoever the Democrat candidate may be a socialist regardless. I am fully convinced that the administration is going to use the supposedly "fraudulent" midterms as an excuse to block the 2028 elections entirely. I think it is likely that Trump will be pushed out after the midterms to set up for 10 years of Vance. With luck Rubio and others will try to steal the top spot from Vance and the whole thing will tear itself apart.

    I share your worry that the next Dem administration will fail to prosecute enough of Trump's cronies. They have enough money and influence to drag such a fight out for decades. We need to go full nuclear from day one and take the whole administration down for conspiracy to commit treason.

  • There is literally one thing that can legally be done to stop Trump - impeachment. It wouldn't matter a bit if every Democratic rep was magically changed into a DSA member tomorrow. Like you said, they don't have the votes.

    I'm well past the point where I will cheer on any non-legal solutions, but I don't expect that to come from elected representatives. Their job is to do what the Republicans did when Obama was in office - obstruction. That is what they are doing.

  • It is documenting a crime Trump committed. There will come a time where Trump and his cronies are not in power and having this proof will be useful in prosecution.

  • What’s your favorite “bad” movie?

    Jump

  • I Frankenstein (2014). Aaron Eckhart as the monster who gets pulled into a centuries long war between demons and gargoyles. It tries to capitalize on the success of the Underworld franchise and goes nuts with CGI effects. It's objectively bad but it's also FUN. If you shut off your brain and don't overanalyze, its a blast.

  • TIL about Jambo a gorilla who protected a child who fell in the gorilla enclosure

  • IIRC this happened in Illinois as well. A female gorilla who had babies in the past picked up the boy, took him to the door to the enclosure, and patiently waited to hand him over to the zookeepers.

  • The Dalai Lama goes up to a hot dog vendor and says make me one with everything.

    Edit: The Dalai Lama pays for the hot dog with a $20 bill, but the vendor doesn't give him any money back. The Lama asks for his change. The vendor says change must come from within.

  • What 3D printer should I buy?

    Jump

  • To me it all depends if the hobby is about the prints or the printer. If you just want to make stuff with minimal tinkering and effort, Bambu is what you want. If you want to customize, tweak, optimize, etc, then Prusa or Elegoo are both solid choices.
