  • How the anti-vaccine movement weaponized a 6-year-old's measles death

    Jump

  • It's because these people are poorly educated. This group of Mennonites is very back woods thinking. There are zero ways they will ever trust vaccines.

    You ask what percentage of kids it will take? 0% All of their children could die and they would chalk it up to God's will and get busy on making more.

    Most people cannot comprehend just how backwards some of these groups are but think of life early 1700s. That's what you are dealing with. No one can convince these people anymore than someone can make the sun set in the East.

    There is nothing that can be done about these people. Hell some don't even speak English, they still speak the old low German language. Like this couple they speak a broken mix between 1700s German and English that's developed in that area.

    I cannot stress this enough, these people are never going to vaccinate. The cost of life is completely irrelevant in this aspect.

  • "They basically want to kill me": GOP efforts to turn Musk into a MAGA martyr are backfiring

    Jump

  • A core principal of a martyr is being widely liked. No one gives a shit about this dude. Even the people who he surrounds himself with don't give a flying fuck about the dude. Musk himself makes every interaction with him transactional. Add in his default behavior of being an 11 year old edgelord wrapped in a 50 something whale body with hair plugs that's awkward as fuck to be around, and yeah it's not hard to see why nobody likes this fucking billionaire with attachment issues.

    Dude needs to ditch the ketamine and perhaps get actual therapy. And actually having a better diet and exercise regimen wouldn't hurt either.

  • Trump to order a plan to shut down the US Education Department

    Jump

  • The most recent continuing resolution authorized the President to begin sequestration and placed the national budget on emergency deficit reduction. That was in section 1113 of the law.

    Under sequestration, the President is given emergency powers to "fix" the budget and the funding automatically matches what the President says. No need for any additional votes.

    So Congress already gave him the green light to do whatever he wants and Congress has already pre-approved it. Now the Department will still be there in name. Senate confirmed officials will most move into advisement roles, but yeah after that last CR, Congress gave Trump the thumbs up to go hog wild.

    Now sequestration is a process so I'm sure there will be flights over the process, like on what date an agency is sequestered, the published scope, etc. But Trump has the ability to sequester the full amount for the Department of Education and Congress says the budget automatically will adjust to meet whatever he determines.

  • Chuck Schumer clung to belief Republicans would ‘expel’ Trump, book says

    Jump

  • Wow. He's a bigger fucking idiot than I originally thought he was. Damn. New York giving Florida a run on the money for biggest fucking idiot in the Senate.

  • Trump voter says he doesn't regret choice despite wife's ICE arrest

    Jump

  • The only thing they like about Trump is the afflicted pain. Even if they have to endure the pain, the fact that someone else is also suffering is exactly what they like.

    Family values, religious values, morals... None of that honestly matters to them. They simply want people to suffer.

  • This is the plan. If anyone was wondering how welfare states would keep running when the federal dollars run out. This is how.

    Combine that with making homelessness a crime punishable by five years hard labor and you've got what the end goal of the GOP is.

  • Chuck Schumer postpones book tour amid liberal criticism over spending vote

    Jump

  • This dude has fucked his political career and I couldn't be happier.

    The two party system has clearly failed. It's allowed zero pushback to Trump in the GOP and it's made cowards of the Democrats.

    I would hope that the destruction of democracy in of itself would educate these people but I highly doubt they'll ever learn.

  • Why? What is any of that going to do? Unless your passport is packing and willing to die for you. All those things can disappear just like Mahmoud Khalil.

    Police will ask you, "do you have a passport?" You hand passport to them. Police respond with "I didn't see a passport, guess you are disappearing now." That's literally how that interaction will play out. We are pass legal documents having any kind of meaning.

  • Not sanctioned by Congress

    Then the answer is no. That's what being a nation of laws means. Doesn't matter if Congress has abdicated their duties. No formal declaration of war, no new powers.

    Now likely what you mean is that we've left the notion that we are a nation of laws, then yes. Laws have stopped having any kind of meaning for the President.

  • Trump invokes 18th century law to speed deportations, judge stalls it hours later

    Jump

  • For those wondering.

    50 USC § 21

     
        
Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government

    Literally the first words in the law Trump attempted to use to deport these people. Congress has not declared any war, this is literally our Government falling apart at this point. Congress will do nothing to reel this President who violates the laws on a daily basis.

    We are never recovering as a Nation from this. This kind of violation of the order of law in our nation will take a century to heal if not more. The United States as it was is gone, full stop.

  • Yes, yes, now what about the rest of the stock market?

    To say, "oh this boycott is self injury" is akin to worrying about one's stubbed toe all while bleeding out from a severed arm.

    Additionally it's typical American only thinking to believe it's just the US citizens boycotting the company. You easily forget that sales are down globally, not just the US.

  • Chuck Schumer Wins Trump’s Praise After Shutdown Surrender

    Jump

  • I couldn't say if this guy is going to have a sixth term after this, but he'd be wise to start looking at retirement options. I didn't think New York will forget this come 2028.

  • 'Today, we celebrate': Judge says National Park Service must reinstate all fired employees

    Jump

  • Empty victory. Sec. 1113 (b) of the CR that's likely to pass today.

    If a sequestration is ordered by the President under section 254 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the spending, expenditure, or operating plan required by this section shall reflect such sequestration

    This will formally authorize the President to begin sequestration. Which legally allows him to start firing people. And as you can in the language of the bill, the budget will automatically correct to be whatever value that sequestered amount the President decides on.

    So yeah, they get to be rehired only to be legally fired this next go round.

  • Democratic attorneys general sue over Trump gutting of education department

    Jump

  • The CR Congress is about to pass "solves" the issue. The CR authorizes the President to begin sequestration. The CR also states that if the President fires someone under sequestration then Congress is completely cool with it, no need to ask any more questions, and the budget automatically adjusts to match the President's change. And the President can sequester to whatever value the President likes as long as it's a downward direction.

    So this law will render a lot of these cases moot. It'll mostly be court cases over the sequestration process after this inevitably passes. But today's vote in the Senate, once passed, will hand the power to determine funding to each agency over to the President. Adding yet another power Congress has handed to the President.

  • 'Deep sense of outrage and betrayal': House Democrats react to Schumer announcement that he will vote for Republican spending plan

    Jump

  • Holding up makes the dismantling a legal affair to be solved in the Courts.

    This CR in Sec. 1113 (b) allows the President to begin sequestration, which basically renders all those legal cases moot.

    This CR as is is the sole thing Trump needs to avoid any more legal cases related to firing whoever he wants and shutting down whichever department he feels like.

    Section 1113 of the CR just basically says that if the President gets rid of someone under sequestration then the budget automatically adjusts to match no need to pass another budget, no need for Congress to get involved.

    The Democrats could argue for this to be removed to keep the cases in the Courts, but once this passes with this language, none of those Court cases matter.

    Well they'll matter in that the cases will establish that they couldn't be fired back in February but with the new law they can now be fired. So the cases will actually go on but to basically argue over how to pay the employees for those four or so weeks that they weren't legally fired.

  • OpenAI declares AI race “over” if training on copyrighted works isn’t fair use

  • Schumer says he'll vote to advance GOP funding bill on eve of shutdown

  • Yeah, I knew Democrats would fold. They've shown that they have nothing and are willing to just bend over while Trump drives us off a cliff.

  • Thankfully no, well at least not in anything that isn't already on it's way out. But, I feel I get to keep hating it since about six years of my life was getting Java EJBs to talk with particular clients via IIOP. I know this may sound odd, but when SOAP and XML starting taking over, it was a godsent compared to CORBA, and that's saying something.
