  • We’re Nearing the Day When ICE Thugs Just Open Fire on Crowds

    Jump

  • They're just waiting for the day an ice officer gets killed. That is their wet dream. The instant that happens, this crap will ramp up 50 fold. They cannot wait for that moment.

  • I mean on a base level of course you are right. But seriously? Men and women are very different when it comes to a crap ton of things.

  • We Asked for ICE Bodycam Footage. DHS Claims They Don’t Have It.

    Jump

  • I mean okay but jumping down that person's throat because you neglected to mention they were required to wear body cams by law but are instead just choosing not to is a bit much lol. I was thinking the exact same thing after reading your initial comment. They are required to wear them during these operations (especially after Chicago). I have no idea whether or not they are but they are supposed to.

    In either case I think it's pretty obvious the public won't see any footage of body cams any time soon

  • ICE officer who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis identified

  • I am not joking even a little when I say I would not be surprised if this dude is given a high position in the government after this.

  • Trump’s ‘Bah! Humbug!’ address suggests he is feeling the chill of opinion polls

    Jump

  • Last I understood as of like a week ago, they are no longer sending a straight check for $2k but instead the money will be given to you in the form of a tax refund. Which sounds to me like just a perfect way to do nothing and then say you sent it to everyone. Then when no one sees any difference just tell them they owed more taxes than they thought or filed wrong or whatever. But call me a negative Nancy I guess 🤷

  • Removed

    Been awful dry out.

    Jump

  • Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

  • Factual btw

    Jump

  • Yes. BUT there are certain ways a government can help its citizens (and itself in most cases) by allowing them to be self sufficient that has nothing to do with electric companies or monopolies at all. The subsidies for solar panels were a great example of this. Depending on your personal needs, you could generate enough power to take yourself off the grid, and the government invested in your panels by way of those subsidies. In many cases the extra electricity from the panels that you don't use can go back into a grid to be used by someone else. Theoretically helping you and the government. There are, of course some issues with the system but speaking from experience it can absolutely work and work wonderfully.

    Unfortunately Trump (of course) has killed these subsidies so that will not be a thing as of new years 2026.

  • Kelly says Senate will ‘put people under oath’ over reported follow-up strikes in Caribbean

    Jump

  • Well now I just have to disagree there. I think some of them will show up... and then nothing will happen.

  • Oldie but goody

    Jump

  • This is so true. It's like that with a lot of things. It's easy (and sort of fun) to explain people's differences. But explaining why everyone hates people different than them and people that think and believe in things they don't is so much harder. Mostly because there's no real good reason other than pretty much "'cause people suck" lol

  • Epstein files bill allowing Bondi to "redact" details comes under scrutiny

    Jump

  • It certainly seems to me like there's a ton of wiggle room in there to interpret things however you want.

    First of all it requires the release of:

    Internal DOJ communications, including emails, memos, meeting notes, concerning decisions to charge, not charge, investigate, or decline to investigate Epstein or his associates.

    Which, holy hell, is that NEVER actually going to happen lol.

    As for redactions it just requires the DOJ to submit a list of:

    All categories of records released and withheld and a summary of redactions made, including legal basis.

    What does that mean exactly? Idk but it sure seems like that could be as simple as "we redacted information from these emails/memos/voicemails or whatever because it was sensitive information to the victims or pertinent to an ongoing investigation." That's a summary and the legal basis fully abiding by the bill.

    I'm very very far from a government bill expert so I'd love to be wrong here but by the letter of that bill, it seems insanely easy to still redact pretty much whatever you want.

  • Ocasio-Cortez Says ‘We Should Not Be Entertaining a Bailout’ of AI Industry as Bubble Fears Grow

    Jump

  • They've been talking about this for a while now. OpenAI in particular has been leading the charge on having their business deals "federally backed." They don't really say why but it can't possibly be because they are promising to spend like 629 bazillion more dollars than they are making.

  • Tucker Carlson: Trump Shooter Was a Trump-Backing Radical — and the FBI Covered It Up

    Jump

  • He backed off very hard on this in line with a bunch of other conservative talking heads. This is from July:

    "Plenty was said this last weekend at our event about Epstein. Honestly, I’m done talking about Epstein for the time being. I’m going to trust my friends in the administration, I’m going to trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done, solve it, ball’s in their hands. I’m going to trust my friends Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, my friend Pam Bondi. All these guys. Ball’s in their court. I think that there was plenty of, let’s say, speeches that were directed towards this topic this last weekend. So we don’t need to spend our valuable time on this program relitigating it."

    Emphasis mine because saying "balls in their hands" is hilarious to me.

  • Rudy Giuliani just got smacked down as Trump's pardon is declared to have 'no impact' on the crushing state charges he still faces

    Jump

  • What is giving you the idea that a pardon automatically admits guilt? I've seen this so many times and it makes absolutely no sense. There's one court case from the 20's in which the court suggested that accepting a pardon "may imply guilt." And there's like 528 court cases saying the opposite. There's also nothing in the verbage of a pardon that states that. It simply removes any legal consequences from relevant acts. I'm not sure why so many people insist that if you accept any type of pardon for any reason, you are confessing to have perpetuated whatever you are accused of. It makes absolutely no sense. You could be guilty as hell. Or you could have been on the other side of the planet and accused of something random. I'm either case, all a pardon does is just get you out of trouble.

    This isn't to say that I think Giuliani is innocent or anything. He's a complete and utter dirt bag. But of all things, him merely accepting a pardon is not the smoking gun a lot of people seem to think it is.

  • Supreme Court weighs appeal to overturn ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide

    Jump

  • They said that over and over too lol

    “Roe v. Wade is not going to be overturned. We all know that.”

    • Chris Collins, R - N.Y.

    “I think the likelihood of Roe v. Wade being overturned is very minimal. I don’t see that happening, truly I don’t see that happening.”

    • Joni Ernst, R - Iowa

    “Well, I don’t think anybody is going to overturn Roe v. Wade … it’s a settled opinion … I doubt seriously that that’s really a legitimate concern.”

    • Orrin Hatch, R - Utah

    I could go on and on... Now they're saying the exact same things about same sex marriage

    Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.

  • Deal to end government shutdown in reach

    Jump

  • And what the hell is the republican answer for why it was so important that people not get slightly more affordable healthcare that it was worth starving people.

    Immigrants. It was always immigrants. They repeatedly blamed it on immigrants "stealing" tax payer money thru ACA even tho that's not really possible except for extreme circumstances that typically account for less than 1% of the funding for the program.

  • Judge permanently blocks deployment of National Guard to Portland, saying Trump exceeded his authority

  • They will give him the nastiest look you just wait

  • Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved

    Jump

  • The full presentation is 10x weirder. He says the robots will eliminate poverty and provide universal health care. In fact, he says the only way we can get universal health care is with optimus robots. He also says that with optimus robots we don't need prisons. We just have an optimus robot follow criminals around and it will stop them from commiting crimes.

    He also sounds like a 5th grader nervously stumbling through a speech to their class about Luis and Clark.

  • Mamdani's youth support goes beyond New York. For many, he's now a national leader

    Jump

  • I don't even know if it's that. I wonder how much of it is just "shit is clearly bad... Let's please just try something different and see if it helps."

    We've been doing the exact same stuff for so long and everything gets worse. The current administration's solution is to just go backwards and try the old stuff that didn't work again and see if it will work now somehow.
