  • DHS expected to shut down as immigration talks falter

  • House Republicans at this current moment may be able to pass things without Dem support but not Senate Republicans and not either chamber in years past. You seem to think this is some new development and not something we've been witnessing for years and years. At least in years past they'd cross over to pass shit like tax breaks or the PATRIOT Act, but now they're crossing over to fund Nazi death squads in the streets of the US and every other fascist bullshit the president wants.

    They're supposed to be the opposition party, but more and more people are waking up to the fact that they're really just controlled opposition, and their sole purpose is to give the illusion of legitimacy to an illegitimate system.

  • Americans ditch premium trims for entry-level cars as affordability takes a hit

  • I think the choice of automatic-only may be less conspiratorial and more streamlining the product to broad tastes.

    Its also fuel economy standards. In the 1990s manuals could give you better mileage but with the invention of 8 and 10 speed autos, they get better mileage than a 5 or 6 speed manual.

  • I wonder if we could up the power a bit and use smart targeting lasers to burn out the camera cells.

  • Thats because Democrats always ensure just enough members cross the aisle in order to pass these bills and then throw up their hands like "what are ya gonna do?" as if it weren't coordinated the entire time.

  • Truly identical twins as actors would present really interesting opportunities for a stage play

  • This is not uncommon with twin child actors. The Olsen twins in Full House are a famous example

  • They share the same grandfather, Paul Newman.

  • Salesforce workers outraged after CEO makes joke about ICE watching them

    Jump

  • So anyone who works for a corporation, meaning pretty much everyone?

    Being like what "on purpose?" I'm simply applying your own words to reality.

  • DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different.

  • You cant even bring a lawsuit against the federal government unless the federal government gives you permission to do so.

  • The people enriching the oligarch class are also not our allies.

    Meaning everyone who's ever bought anything from a corporation?

  • Not completely but much of it is.

  • Ford falls behind China’s BYD in global sales for the first time

    Jump

  • And if Apple still made computers in the US, we might all be earning $9500 a week here in the US with all these manufacturers competing for local workers.

  • Ford falls behind China’s BYD in global sales for the first time

    Jump

  • You're telling me there's a formula that would allow all these other automotive companies worldwide to produce cars for 1/4th the price and yet nobody has figured it out even after producing cars for as much as 120 years, while China did after just building cars for a few years? What's the secret sauce, exactly? That's a ton of money left on the table and many of these companies have produced vehicles in China for decades, yet still don't know this secret.

  • It'd be hilarious to walk by and clip some underwear to the line alongside all the gardening gloves.

  • James Van Der Beek, the 'Dawson's Creek' star who later mocked his own hunky persona, has died at 48

  • Mine suggested I start at 20 but he'd also rub both my shoulders as he did it, so I didnt complain too much.

  • Ford falls behind China’s BYD in global sales for the first time

    Jump

  • No doubt there are outliers, but sales figures show that German brands (and Tesla) dominated sales in the EU while the Mondeo was still around. Here in the US, this segment is dominated by Asian and German brands as well which leaves little room for companies like Ford or GM to compete, especially when this whole segment shows declining sales year over year. They sell far more trucks and SUVs which is why those have become their focus. Why spend billions to build a car that only earns you millions?

  • Call for change in law to tackle covertly-filmed videos of women on nights out

    Jump

  • This law is not targeting people filming in public. No provisions in the law say that you can't film in public.

    The entire premise of this law is based on filming in public. It doesn't say you can't film in public, but it does say you can't share videos containing certain content that isn't well defined and can easily be twisted to include any video video filmed in public. Imagine someone filming a protestor getting beaten by police where a woman is facing away somewhere in the background. This constitutes "filming an unsuspecting woman's behind" and the video gets taken down while the uploader gets banned. This is such an easy point to reach and doesn't require some convoluted conspiracy to pull off.

    I never said it wouldn't impact people uploading protests or police brutality. I never spoke to that point at all.

    Yes, you did speak to it here when responding to this person:

    But I also feel like this is the kind of law that needs to be crafted very carefully to make sure that it's not going to infringe on legitimate reasons people may have to record people in public. I could absolutely see Republicans here twisting a law like this that was made with good intentions to go after people for posting videos of ice arrests online.

    This doesn't appear to be a crackdown on filming in public places. It seems to be going after the people who distribute it and the platforms who host it.

  • You do realize that people shoot voyeur videos for personal use, right?

    Yes, and by your own admission, this law doesn't target those people.

    Meanwhile, you're arguing the law will target people uploading videos to the internet and platforms that host them, but that this somehow won't affect people uploading videos of things like protests or police brutality because it instead targets videos that people film for "personal use" and don't upload. It makes no sense.
