  • Of course they are; they’d be stupid not to.

    That said, given the total joke that operational security is to this administration, I’d imagine that they have most of the U.S secrets already. Heck, trump is probably having tulsi share and collaborate with russia.

  • I'm not arguing for it, I agree that it's fine if it's a free choice. I don't think personally that it's a good one, though.

    My point is that many of the women pushing this on the republican side view all of this, including their own loss of rights, as a positive likely. It's not like a "leopards eating faces" or "voting against their interests" situation where they might be reachable.

  • For the believers, I think that tmany would be fine with this. It reinforces their preferred structure of a patriarchy in which they have a well-defined place and role (head of the domestic household, subservient to the man). No worries about having to deal with a fickle job market or figuring out what you want to do with your life. Your life path is set (get married, raise kids, take care of family), and, for some, that well-defined role the status that it conveys is really comforting. It provides a sense of security.

    It's why, I expect, while there are many who fight it, there are plenty of women in Muslim societies who are fine with things as they are. We emphasize with those women who chafe at that and fight it since we've history valued the individual rights of self-determination and freedom, of course.

    Thats a big allure of the American taliban to some folks. It provides structure and defined roles in a chaotic world.

    Of course, republican men like it for the power, but more importantly, that women voters mostly vote against them. Stopping women from voting would cement them in power.

  • Well, the competent ones are zealots pursuing terrifying things. I'd say they're more damaging. Head of the OMB being a great example.

  • To hand power 'back to the people,' House Dems propose amendment to reverse Citizens United

  • No, they didn't. When did they have a chance to pass a constitutional amendment?

  • Wow, there are people who actually believe that in real life? Huh. Good luck with your glorious revolution

  • Well, that would be a good way to guarantee republican dominance, yes.

  • Because they think that he will hurt people that they've been led to hate.

  • Inflation falls to 2.4%, lowest in three years

    Jump

  • It shouldn't mean lower prices; deflation is bad, we just want a low rate of inflation. What we do want is for wages to outpace that, and for the past couple of years, they have for people at the lower end of the scale (which is also good)

  • Of course, but I don't think that him as the VP candidate changes the odds of that much relative to the other contenders who don't come with that risk.

    VP candidates don't usually matter much in an election unless they're freaks with a couch fetish or something weird like that.

  • Assuming Harris wins, the first midterm federal election is usually ugly for the president's party, so it'd be a risk. Especially coming off of this election where dems will have to be extremely lucky just to hold onto the majority (even with the vp tiebreaker).

  • Move over, Ford and Chevy: Kei trucks are pulling up as customers opt for smaller, cheaper vehicles

    Jump

  • Smart cars had to pass US crash test standards and have the appropriate safety equipment. The kei trucks that you can currently import and use are 25+ years old and wouldn't have even passed US standards back then. Your legs are the crumple zone in these things.

    I assume that new ones would have a chance, but it'd be expensive for a manufacturer to modify and certify for the US market. Small cars haven't sold well here, and the profit margins are slim.

    Maybe with the recent size and price increases in autos here, well see some movement. I'd love a modern Honda kei to go with my element.

  • Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his conviction

    Jump

  • They're not silly at all, they're thugs. They want to influence the next one by showing the cost of going against them.

    Now, we're lucky that they're mostly grifting, incompetent, blustery cowards, so the risk isn't what it could be.

  • Senate passes bill forcing TikTok’s parent company to sell or face ban, sends to Biden for signature. Biden expected to sign on Wed.

  • Probably, but for other reasons. Neither of those are owned by the US, are they?
