I’d have an easier time agreeing with you if any one of them had shown even a bit of spine against this fascism.

Nearly half the population didn’t vote at all. It’s not a small number that would still defend him. Maybe not half, but significant enough. Then you have to wonder, how many active duty personnel didn’t vote for him and where would they stand when the orders were given. Would they commit treason in the eyes of the CIC?

His approval ratings don’t mean a whole lot. We’ve seen how well polls have translated to real results in the last decade. I would also argue that disapproval does not translate to civil disobedience.

154 million people voted in 2024. That’s a hair over 65% of the voting agreed population. Over half of those people supported this shit stain, and even if they disagree with him on some things now, most will still support and defend him.

My personal objections to participating in a armed resistance aside. No one is looking to organize an armed resistance as far as I’m aware and the concept of organizing such a resistance seems nearly impossible for many reasons.

I’ve seen a few reports of protesters making things more difficult for ICE, but that’s about the most resistance I’ve seen. I’m starting to see why reasonable Germans didn’t rise up, it’s not that they agreed or didn’t want to, it’s difficult to organize a resistance. There needs to be a clear leader, good communication channels, a way to vet those who join, and anything else a military operation needs. And even then, you’d be going up against over half the population and the armed forces. And it would be giving a reason for them to use full military force against the citizens.

There is no good end to this, there is no way to stop this from continuing. I think a lot of people are counting on midterms to bring a peaceful end to this nightmare, I doubt we will have that chance and even if we do, the outcome will not be enough to swing the power.

We’re fucked.

The fear is manufactured by those with power. A race war is much better for them than a class war.

I disagree. The joke is meh without the names. If they did the same thing but with 2 made up people or cartoon characters it would fall flat. This format is disingenuous and doesn’t hold up without making it seem like celebrities said it.

At least dicks can get hard. This fucker has as much spine as a bowl of spaghetti.

I’ve come to the realization, at least where I live, that a hell of a lot of accidents are prevented because of drivers who are actually aware and safe. This goes a bit beyond defensive driving IMO. I’m talking flat out accident avoidable. There is an entire class of drivers who are not even aware of the accidents they have almost caused because someone else managed to avoid their stupid driving.

The majority of accidents that are likely to happen with these robocoffins will be single car or robocoffin meets robocoffin. The numbers on safety after a year will be acceptable because non accident causing error prone driving is not reported in any official capacity.

I still maintain that the only safe way to have autonomous vehicles on the road is if they do not share the road with human drivers and have an open standard for communicating with other autonomous cars.

The 5 weeks pregnant vs 6 week ban is a bit more ambiguous than you might think.

The Florida 6 week ban calculates the 6 weeks from the first day of the last menstrual period, not from fetal size or date of conception. https://abortiondefensenetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Florida-April-2025-2-1.pdf

In general, ovulation occurs 12-17 days into the menstrual cycle. Florida’s ban is more like a 3 to 4 week ban than a 6 week.

Edit: spelled ban as can once

Should be a requirement for life. My SO always says everyone should be required to work retail for one week during the holidays. I have to agree.

Essential services like healthcare, accessible information, food safety, and all the other things that help our citizens stay safe and productive?

It irks me how much stuff we aren’t allowed to send because the manufacturer won’t allow it.

Name and shame. This is such bullshit. I’m sure it’s some to protect brand value, but IMO you earn more value through kindness and generosity.

I need this on a shirt

Or maybe this op was withheld because they had already done that.

We need people who do not care if they piss off the wealthy. People willing to forcefully and lawfully remove money from politics. People willing to challenge their own party members and even party leaders.

Primary every federal office in every election until the comfy incumbent lives in fear.

I don’t have an answer for you, but something to consider.

Plastic surgeons go to school for many years to perfect their trade. I suspect, like most medical professionals, something like scar reduction is a specialized area of study that is not all that common.

We know that professionals are able to reduce the appearance of scars. I’d bet good money that it is not something just anyone could do successfully.

Can we get other countries to deny these sycophants entry for being spineless?

When I was 12 or 13 I had bought a discount subscription to Rolling Stone and back then they had classified ads in the back. There was one that was actually a sex worker using Dr Seuss too advertise

Could you would you with a mouse? Could you would you in a house? Could you would you with a fox? Could you would you in a box? I could. Could you?

This only works if everyone is honorable and defends their power. Just the writing of this bill (and others) shows the legislature’s willingness to cede their own power. I have little confidence that the current SCOTUS bench will do anything to keep their own. Add to that a weakness in our 3 branch system that only one branch has the power of force.

That’s terrifying. It is a low number, but that it is non zero and the presence of a manual control would change the outcome is not good.

Of course you could find an old car with manual windows, but that would lack quite a few other safety features that have saved many more lives.

Starting to get on the fuck cars bandwagon, just wish I lived somewhere where that was an option.

It wasn’t an oversight, it is a feature because manual door pulls are old fashioned and not as cool.

Electronic windows were an improvement over hand cranked, but the doors could still be opened. Though I do wonder if they have ever been the cause of a loss of life.

I agree that this design should have never passed any safety board. That the ability to open the door can be disabled or made much more difficult.
