  • magas: Mass Deportation Now!

    maga 1: omg I just realized if we deport all the illegulls we won't have a cheap labor force to exploit anymore!

    maga 2: Hmm let's see, what other group's labor could we exploit with slave wages and no rights or benefits?

    maga 1: hmmmm, durrrrrrr.

    maga 2: I know! Children!

  • Trump’s Stunning Response When Asked if He Has Sexual ‘Age Limit’ Resurfaces as Epstein-Mania Boils

  • Yeah it was pretty much inevitable, sooner or later. The same is true for several other countries whose citizens are here on Lemmy laughing at us or chastizing us about it, not realizing that the same thing is coming for them, too.

  • How can you allow this to happen?

    I love how people ask questions like this, like we're gods who can snap our fingers and magically stop the fascists who outnumber us. The number of people who wanted it to happen outnumbered the number of us who didn't want it to happen. Simple as that. Can't even blame the electoral college.

    And those people still absolutely love him and will do anything for him and to keep him in power. The only option left after losing the election would be civil war, but even if enough people were ready to go all out and start one, we would lose that war because they have the government and its resources, including the military. That's the problem with democracy, you see--majority rules and if the majority decides they don't want a democracy any more, then it's over.

  • 211 House Republicans Vote to Block Release of Epstein Files

    Jump

  • Very good, House Dems. Now keep doing it--introduce another 99 bills to do the same between now and the next presidential election (if there is one), which would be as many as the number of times House republicans introduced bills to repeal the ACA (and that only counts their bills through 2017, which was the latest date I found a source for).

  • Ok. You said "But you just watched", so I thought you were talking about the most recent catastrophic legislation, which is why I asked which bill you were talking about. Schumer's a cowardly piece of shit and could have used the only chance dems had or will have, because the other cowardly pieces of shit would have followed his lead and voted against it if he would have.

  • by opting not to shut down Donald’s government and voting with Republicans

    What are you talking about? Are you talking about a specific bill? Which one? All Dems voted against the 'huge hideous bill' (budget bill). Dems don't have the power/votes to 'shut down Donald's government'.

  • Trump Thinks He Can Take Away Citizenship From Anyone He Doesn’t Like | The president is now musing about trying to revoke Rosie O'Donnell’s birthright citizenship because he doesn’t like her

  • It was supposed to be a joke (but only a semi-joke), because 'reign' is what monarchs and authoritarians do.

  • Absolutely nothing is stopping him. Certainly not the laws, the Constitution, or the Supreme Court. Lower courts are still ruling against him but getting overridden by SCOTUS.

    The only left is we the people and that will take a huge number of us to work together.

  • Far more trustworthy than today. For books to be published they had to be reviewed and accepted by a publisher and then they were copy-edited for accuracy and consistency. Not like now where you can write any pile of crap you want (or have an AI generate it) and self-publish it to Amazon or whatever.

  • And you still have to go to a university library if you want any scientific papers and research knowledge, because most of it is behind a paywall and only universities can afford to subscribe to the journals.

  • History doesn't go out of date. The speed of light doesn't go out of date. Sure, a lot of things happened since it was published so it doesn't have the latest stuff but that doesn't invalidate the information they have, and if a new regime decides to erase or rewrite parts of history you still have it in black and white.

  • We moved often when I was a kid. Every time we moved to a new city, the first thing my mom did was take us to the library to get us our library cards. We looked forward to each trip to the library, browsing around and picking out books to check out. We weren't just there to look up a factoid, but we did learn facts about all kinds of subjects and loved reading the stories, so we developed our literacy and spelling skills without even knowing it. The time was well spent and fun, certainly not a waste.

    I love being able to quickly look up a factoid online of course but that isn't a substitute for reading books.
