That’s just horrific.

My theory is that you need both. You need figures that are non violent, but also the threat of more violent leaders around the corner if the non violent ones get ignored. You need the Malcolm X to make MLK look like the compromise.

Yeah, look at the Iraq war protests, they didn’t amount to anything because they were peaceful and easily ignored by the media.

Happened during the first Trump admin as well. He fired all the pandemic guys and then was caught with his pants down when a pandemic happened.

The little Hitler moustache explains why he didn’t refuse this deployment.

I wasn’t talking about the Supreme Court. The people should be holding a constitutional convention.

The right already has a plan to do that, the people should have their own plan to counter it / take it over.

And actually a big part of the issue is the Supreme Court intentionally misinterpreting the letter and spirit of the constitution. The first, second and fourth amendments were fine the way they were, the Supreme Court just chipped away at them until they meant nothing any more.

You really need to rewrite all this shit from scratch. 250 years is a good run, but at some point you need to restart to fix shit.

It just means a bunch of farmers and restaurant owners called him up and complained about it. The deal was always that you only talked tough about deportation, you didn’t go through with it because otherwise those sectors would need to hire Americans that might unionise and complain about working conditions.

Eh, his brother was sitting right next to him and didn’t make it. This guy’s going to be wracked by survivor’s guilt.

Didn’t really get to for ages, but with a steam deck it’s doable to do it after the kid’s in bed to play an hour or 2 of something. You definitely have to pick other types of games than the ones I used to play tho (FPS and RTS don’t really work well with the Steam deck controls).

Golden visas aren’t really that extraordinary, many countries have something similar. It’s just a slap in the face to everyone else that has to jump through an increasing amount of hoops just to get a green card to see that you can just skip the line if you’re wealthy enough (which has really always been the case on some level, but not that blatant).

I mean, Bolivia has a socialist President, so chances are the workers aren’t actually as exploited as they could be elsewhere.

Yeah, that was close enough to kill. She might have internal bleeding for all we know.

No cop has ever been held accountable for whatever bullshit they pull when they’re in riot gear. They’re basically anonymous and the worst that will happen is a civil settlement with the city (which won’t even come out of the police budget!).

But when Hollywood did, nobody wanted to actually talk about Rampart.

There were actually 3, there was a British autistic kid that tried it all the way back in 2019.

He’s broken the rules all his life without suffering any consequence. Even if he doesn’t realise on an intellectual level, he knows you can get away with anything if you’re at a certain level of wealth just from experience.

Yeah, the classic UI was better (and saved you a couple of pixels of useful screen real estate).

Also, everyone hated the UI in Vista at the time.

I mean, it can be effective. It works for the GOP: you basically can’t get elected as a Republican if you’re not anti-abortion or if you want to raise taxes, and thanks to those purity tests, every time they get in power they take steps towards those goals.

With the ‘big tent’ Democrats all you get is basically a small rollback on the worst excesses of the previous Republican president (to the point where you really can’t call them ‘left’ in any serious way).
