Wait, you saying we didn’t get anything better on the Israel issue AND everything’s fucked at home? God damn, who could have seen this coming?

Generally less able to identify scams so, it tracks.

But the underlying Pentagon leadership hasn’t significantly changed between Biden and Trump (or Bush and Trump, for that matter). Its all the same neoconservative think tanks writing variations on Project For A New American Century for the modern government.

That isn’t congress or the president. Pentagon leadership doesn’t declare war. Congress has the power to declare war which hasn’t happened for some time and since then the president has basically done so, although arguable that it’s been a “formal” declaration of war.

This is what people voted for, up and down the ballot. US voters put Trump at the top and yes men in the house and senate.

Vote better next time, I guess.

I truly hope that one day you realize that the Dems are more opposed to genuine leftism than to Republicans

I mean… I don’t really have to reply to literally anything else here. You’re actually insane.

Meanwhile Trump is dismantling the administrative state and appointing yes men to whatever is left. This was better than the alternative? Man, get the fuck out of here.

Thank god we didn’t elect Dems. Can you imagine?

I knew Lemmy would find a way to make this Biden’s fault.

Probably everything over the next 4 years, honestly.

he is especially fascist in the substance of what he is likely to do

So… About my supposed false dichotomy and this insane comment that Trump isn’t “especially fascist”.

Given the torrent of executive orders, attempts to take the purse strings from congress, and seeming preparations to ignore SCOTUS rulings, how accurate do you think this was?

The way some of you think is very odd to me.

Back up your own shit or pay for sync.

I get the sense a bunch of y’all weren’t around for the early internet.

Lots of dumb people out there and they’re doing to say all kinds of deranged shit. Grow a pair and move on.

Just as soon as people quit pissing on it.

I supposedly go to work in a building with other adults.

“I think the biggest problem is that your messaging to Arab Americans can’t just be ‘Trump’s a fascist, Trump is Hitler. Big, scary orange man, vote for me.’ Part of being a part of the American political system is being able to separate yourself from your opponent and lay out a better vision. And she did not do that,” Abdelrahman said.

Hey, maybe in 2028 the Dem candidate can run on repealing the national abortion ban. That feels like more than saying, “I WON’T enact a national abortion ban”. Yayyyy /s

“He at least, at least came and spoke to the Muslims. He heard them and said, ‘OK, I will finish. I will end the war in Middle East,’ even if he didn’t say, you know, a genocide, but he said he will bring peace,” she said. “And that’s what the people wanted to hear, and that’s why he got the votes.”

“Just lie to us at least”. Fuck me…

So you’re saying it’s ok to trust those cloud providers

What kind of trust are you referring to? I trust that they take great pains to protect their cloud customer’s data. CGP is not Google Search is not Google advertising.

Do I trust them to do the right thing environmentally? No. Geopolitically? No. But let’s not get these all confused. They do support surveillance tech but surreptitiously mining their cloud customer’s data has the potential to sink their entire business overnight.

yandex is about 2% of our total cost, to put things into perspective

I encourage subscribers to check out this thread and weigh in.

and you say, “If you ever treat me like that again, I will leave you,”

Finish the analogy to better fit this issue. You leave your partner for a MORE abusive partner. Why?

These are random, anonymous accounts. Not trusting you is the default mode. The fuck are you talking about?

A jury could just find him not guilty on that one count but guilty on all others. Not seeing how it weakens any other part of the case.

Oh come off it. Burning someone alive is why it’ll be a multi-day national story.

How can you even say that given that the last multi-day story was a fare jumper being shot at and the one before that was someone being choked to death? Neither of which, to my knowledge, involved immigrants.

Keep stirring that race pot though.
