  • Not pictured, it's McDonald's part time grill back up position that only gets hours while the Auto Grill 8000 is down.

  • Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes

    Jump

  • I think that's easier than self investigation though. We can always fend that off by calling it whataboutism. In fact that's exactly how we handle calling out Chinese and Iranian abuses. Israel quite simply has a loyal voting block in the US that our politicians are afraid of. They don't run the country or any of that conspiracy crap but they are incredibly active in defending Israel.

  • More people need to get this. Obama and Biden conducted airstrikes with the exact same expectations and the exact same "unlawful combatant" policy allowing us to ignore the Geneva conventions.

    I guarantee anyone reading this that the guy calling these strikes has done the same thing his entire career. If they want to change that policy then go for it. But don't expect anyone to be prosecuted over doing it before that.

  • The Supreme Court Is About to Hear a Case That Could Rewrite Internet Access

  • Nah, then it just becomes a defacto situation of the content creation companies (Disney, Sony, etc) owning the telecom companies. So you will truly be a single content household, like a Disney Household or a Paramount Household.

  • Sony wanted mo money. Yo money wasn't enough for them. So they got a jury to agree that Cox owes them 1 Billion dollars.

    Let's all sing about how much we love Corporate Governance.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls For United States to Be Split Up, Declares Country ‘No Longer Safe’ For Anyone

  • Any level with a low number can be controlled by elites. Debate can be done on forums. Good ideas go up, bad ideas go down in flames.

  • To add to the other response the leaders of both nationalities were veterans of the Prague Spring. They had no appetite for more violence. Could you truly say the same of the US?

    Congratulations on finding a split I missed though.

  • Do you think you can become a benevolent dictator without ever getting corrupted or turn evil?

    Jump

  • Sure, for the low price of a lifetime pension I'll benevolently dismantle the oligarchy; ban guns; make cars luxury items; massively expand mass transit; and bring in universal health and education!

    Just ignore the claims that I've actually jailed or killed my opposition; held the families of so called "freedom fighters" so they'll turn themselves and their buddies in; made travel outside your area and healthcare impossible without government approval; and completely changed the history everyone learns.

    Okay that's obviously pretty extreme. Just a reminder that if you're not careful even well intentioned dictatorships can be very oppressive. And every dictatorship is on a timer to a coup or revolution. And resetting that timer is not pretty. The only way off the treadmill is to have elections again.

  • Anyone under the delusion that splitting a country can be peaceful should research any split since the idea of nationalism took hold. India and Pakistan are still the odds on favorite to kill us all with a nuclear winter.

  • Trump administration raises possibility of stripping Mamdani of US citizenship

    Jump

  • I don't believe that. Not the same America that elected Obama. I think Trump's first term convinced people he wouldn't be that bad compared to a party that tried to do a "Weekend at Bernie's" with their candidate. This is a different Trump than we had last time. This one is willing to do every word of what he says. And that caught people by surprise.

  • In this specific case? We've spent the last two decades watching overly broad anti terrorism laws get passed under the implicit agreement they wouldn't be abused. Then comes Trump. Americans have been asleep at the wheel since the 1970's. That's part of why right wing rhetoric keeps getting more extreme. They need to keep their voting base engaged. Most people don't want anything to do with politics. If that doesn't change then no amount of reform will prevent us from voting ourselves out of a democracy.

  • The US Marshals are actually organized under the DOJ. Meaning they'll just fire any Marshal that obeys that order.

  • SCOTUS Orders Trump Admin To ‘Facilitate’ Return Of Abrego Garcia

    Jump

  • Nope, news everywhere has been fucking this headline up. SCOTUS defined the government's duty as requesting his release politely and allowing him back in if El Salvador does release him. The previous ruling would have forced the state department to tell El Salvador they must do it, or else. This is a far lower standard and will not be enough to get him released because the leadership in El Salvador knows Trump doesn't want the guy to come back.

  • SCOTUS Orders Trump Admin To ‘Facilitate’ Return Of Abrego Garcia

    Jump

  • Oh no you're reading this wrong. SCOTUS just gave them permission. They said they must "facilitate" and that the lower courts order to "effectuate" was likely an over step.

    The payload here is that facilitating means they'll send an official request that El Salvador will officially deny and then tell everyone they did everything they were ordered to do.

  • The sheer amount of money being removed by the 1 percent is regoddamndiculous. It's something like 45 trillion dollars since wages diverged from productivity in 1975.
