Fetterman Warns He Will Exit Democratic Party Over Israel Aid Platform

You also have to love how PA Democrats are like "Don't threaten us with a good time!"

"Polling indicates 57% of Pennsylvania Democrats want Fetterman to exit the party."

"Any party switch risks shifting the balance of power in a closely divided Senate."

No, no it does not.

53 Republicans45 Democrats2 Independents that caucus with Democrats.

Assuming Mitch is really dead and they are holding that announcement until 8/3 to avoid a special election, that would vacate the seat:

Fetterman flips:

No actual difference.

Trump Just Did More Damage to American Elections Than China

No, it's proof you think Trump was President a year before he was re-elected and 2 years before he was actually President.

Have you considered changing your username to "confidentlywrong" instead of "Nonconfrontational"?

DEFINITELY more on brand.

Again, you lose sir, I award you no points.

"Monday, April 17, 2023"

Who was President in 2023? 😉

Citing the arrest documents of Chinese nationals operating an illegal police station to intimidate dissidents, thoroughly disproving your "debunked" link from a different city and country.

Take the "L", move on, and don't report comments you disagree with when they are materially factual.

In Montreal, not New York City, or France:

As alleged in the complaint, Lu and Chen are charged with conspiring to act as agents of the PRC government as well as obstructing justice by destroying evidence of their communications with an MPS official. The defendants worked together to establish the first overseas police station in the United States on behalf of the Fuzhou branch of the MPS. The police station – which closed in the fall of 2022 after those operating it became aware of the FBI’s investigation – occupied a floor in an office building in Manhattan’s Chinatown. While acting under the direction and control of an MPS Official, Lu and Chen helped open and operate the clandestine police station. None of the participants in the scheme informed the U.S. government that they were helping the PRC government surreptitiously open and operate an illegal MPS police station on U.S. soil.

“The PRC, through its repressive security apparatus, established a secret physical presence in New York City to monitor and intimidate dissidents and those critical of its government,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “The PRC’s actions go far beyond the bounds of acceptable nation-state conduct. We will resolutely defend the freedoms of all those living in our country from the threat of authoritarian repression.”

"Since early 2026, French counterintelligence services have dismantled nine clandestine structures operating in France under the direction of China's Ministry of Public Security. The sites were notably used to track down dissidents."

CNN refused to air Donald Trump's speech due to 'history of false statements'

Jump

jordanlund @lemmy.world 2mo ago

The closest thing he got to telling the truth is that China got ahold of voter data... because voter data is public information.

I got voter data for my area for 2020, seriously, just ask the elections department.

If you could create artistic works like the Mona Lisa(Gioconda) in better quality, should your work be considered superior to the original (ignoring its historical value)?

Jump

jordanlund @lemmy.world 2mo ago

Here's the problem:

The vast majority of people have never seen the works of the old masters in person, only copies on their devices or pictures in print.

When you see a painting like that in person, the texture and brush strokes interact with the light in the room to give you a completely luminous experience.

But more to the point, that experience cannot be reproduced digitally. Even a photograph of the actual Mona Lisa is inferior to actually seeing the Mona Lisa.
