If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • Be careful chasing the acidity of energy drinks. Full throttle is around 2 pH, not so good for your teeth or stomach health.

  • TPM chip relies on it for security. If you're not using that it would work but you'd still have network issues.

  • Shouldn't Trump be thanking Comey for going outside procedure right before an election just to say, "Clinton sure is sus" for no reason?

  • Not sure why you're being downvoted. I'll try and do a better response later when I have some time.

    In an ideal world we could replace SCOTUS members who, for example, lied under oath to congress. That would allow a lot of problems that seem impossible to solve to be pretty easily solved. I think the US is an example of a cascading system of measures to make it hard to undo the rot. For example: We need better rulings on cops, so we need a better supreme court, so we need to pack the court or get rid of the fascists on it, so we need a majority progressive congress, so we need campaign finance reform, so we need more people to vote, so we need laws against electioneering... I mean there are things that could be done that ate lynch pins for huge progress, but the system is certainly stacked against us. Not a reason to give up, but it explains a lot of the nihilism generally in our culture.

  • 27.6 per 100 people vs US, which is 120.5. Where are you sourcing that from?

  • Thank you

  • Holding accountable to him means forcing them to speak in front of a committee, where they disrespect every member of said committee, and then wipe their hands clean.

  • Rolling Stone continues to be more accurate than "traditional" media sources, and doesn't bury the lede under a mountain of apologia either.

    It's interesting to see how many Republican lawmakers and media figures are "praying for the families of the victims" when it serves to confuse readers, but when undocumented people are the victims of other crimes they never do anything but victim blame.

  • 1: Your source uses FBI data.

    2: The criteria is clearly spelled out in your own source, and it changed in 2013 to be more strict.

    3: Our mass shooting problem definitely requires extensive work.

    4: Extremist violence does account for the vast majority, and right wing is the vast majority of extremist violence, especially if you count religious extremists. However, the abundance of guns certainly adds more since we are not the most extreme religious country, nor do we have the most percentage of right-wing idealologically aligned people.

    5: Forcing cops to care has never worked because, according to SCOTUS, they're not required to do their job, even while on shift and present. Also, the most red flag sign of gun violence is domestic abuse, which most cops do on the regular, as well as right wing extremist ideation, which most cops engage in already. We'd be better off firing the domestic abusers and domestic terrorists that make up the majority and hiring social workers for most roles.

  • I wouldn't personally expect our Elmer Fudd ass gestapo director to pick his words from a large dictionary.

  • From other sources, only non-officers were injured, so the titles are already blatantly misleading from mainstream sources.

  • If the media would like to try harder than not at all to correct the record this time, that'd be swell...

  • What an incredibly stupid thing to say as one of the only public statements since losing an election to a bozo.

  • When the dumbest people in the room all disagree with each other because they believe different lies. These people deserve each other.

  • Thank you for fighting the good fight.

  • "Liberal" is a very bold accusation when most people on Lemmy across all instances are better described as socialists including me.

    Putin would have to not be a hypocrite to be any different than the west, but this isn't really about Putin, so you've said 2 things, and both are straw men. RT has as much integrity as Newsmax does talking about Trump.

  • RT engaging in whataboutism?! Nooo, they would never.

  • Phil Butler sure does like gobbling Kremlin cock.

  • Do you often take offense to what's written in dictionaries and historical accounts?
