  • I find myself in this debate amongst friends and family regularly

  • It would be interesting to have a series where they take the best of the best Starfleet personnel, intentionally copy them with a transporter, and stick them on their own ship to do an extra dangerous, super difficult mission.

  • UN Experts Decry Trump Warmongering Against Venezuela as ‘Extremely Dangerous Escalation’

  • Anyone remember during his first term when he had to be talked out of firing missiles into Mexico targeting supposed "drug labs"? This is the same thing but with a more politically acceptable target and fewer people to tell him no.

  • I suppose you believe the Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea is democratic too.

  • Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner says nobody ever told him the large SS-Totenkopf tattoo he's had on his chest for the last 18 years is a Nazi symbol

    Jump

  • I watched the video. I'm not arguing that it is the same skull used by the Nazi SS. I'm arguing that specific skull wasn't created by the Nazis (here it is on an 18th century pirate flag)

    and it wasn't used last by the Nazis (here it is on a US special forces patch used in Vietnam)
    .

    The US military has used all sorts of eagles, swords, crosses, skulls, double lightning bolts, etc over the years that were also used by Nazis at some point. I just don't think it is reasonable to say he's a Nazi based on this tattoo alone in the absolute absence of any other evidence of any sort.

  • That link has like 7 different variations of the skull and crossbones that the Nazis used and that covers basically every usage by anyone ever. I just don't buy that he's a closed Nazi and it never came up in all his Reddit shitposting.

  • White House’s East Wing partially demolished as work begins on Trump’s $250m ballroom

    Jump

  • If we want to go even deeper with the symbolism, the White House represents the power of the president and he is demolishing it in a shallow attempt to make it more grand.

  • It's just a building. It's his demolition of the Constitution that matters.

  • Some leftists have criticized NoKingsDay2 as useless...

    Jump

  • At the very least these protests are a reminder we are not alone and not the ones living in a reality founded on lies.

  • MTG warns GOP ‘will lose the House’ in midterms without addressing cost of living

    Jump

  • Oh don't worry. Trump will fire up a new war with Venezuela just in time for the midterms. That will distract voters enough for him to keep doing whatever he wants.

  • Why don't Americans impeach Trump?

  • Biggest US labor unions fuel No Kings protests against Trump: ‘You need a voice to have freedom’

    Jump

  • I'm in the local SEIU. We voted to approve a great new contract they won for us, granting us raises for the next 3 years, more towards our health insurance, and a sweet new longevity bonus. We went right from the vote to the No Kings protest.

  • Chicago Cyclists Are Buying Out Tamale Carts To Keep Vendors Home And Safe From ICE

    Jump

  • Late night bar tamale vendors are goddamn national heroes as far as I am concerned.

  • GOP representative blames swastika flag in his office on a ‘ruse’

    Jump

  • Literally don't believe your eyes.

  • The Right Jumps to Defend Young Republicans' Racist Texts

    Jump

  • I heard someone make a good, frightening point. Trump has been a political force for over a decade now. There are a generation of young people who only know MAGA politics. To them that is normal. They've never seen a functional government in their adult lives.

  • The Surreal Practicality of Protesting As an Inflatable Frog

    Jump

  • You could always wear a respirator inside the suit. I have also been thinking of a way to upgrade the fan mechanism so you could add a layer of air filter. Then the whole thing would basically be a hazmat suit.

  • I'm just using that as an example of how one of these inflatable costumes would act as a kind of armor.

  • I was once paintballing against a guy wearing one of those puffy down filled coats. The coat made him almost invulnerable because the paintballs wouldn't break against them. They just bounced off. I have to think that an inflatable suit would work the same way with pepper balls. It's goofy, but also a great tactical choice for multiple reasons.
