Yoon cited a motion by the country’s opposition Democratic Party, which has a majority in parliament, this week to impeach some of the country’s top prosecutors and its rejection of a government budget proposal.

Imagine declaring martial law, and these were the only concrete reasons you could come up with.

I don’t think it’s so much YOLO as recognizing that Hunter would be a target of Trump once he assumes office.

It seems to me to be a form of self defense. People do things that they otherwise wouldn’t do when the alternative is bad enough.

The article did say that there were also swatting incidents. Those can even result in somebody being killed.

The toilet break was described as “urgent”.

I’m surprised that they don’t have some contingency plan for this sort of thing. You know, like radio ahead and have a substitute conductor waiting at the next station. Because shit happens.

Maybe they do have a contingency plan and it failed.

Pulaski was the best TNG cast member and I will die on that hill. She’s the only one who showed real personal growth.

Not Data?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s trying to become a media personality.

This is obviously the perspective from the side of the mirror dimension.

Taxpayer money was used to create that report. If they don’t release it, then it’s just a waste of taxpayer money.

Like him or hate him, Biden was never not going to back Israel. He’d been an Israel supporter for a long time before he became president, and there’s really no excuse for not knowing that if you’re at all interested in American politics. People wish they could elect some sort of ideal president, but I’ve never seen one, yet.

So, given that, you might alternatively say that Hamas’s enduring legacy will be the destruction of America. When they attacked Israel at that time, because of the players involved, the GOP’s chances of winning big in 2024 really surged.

In an odd way, it sort of reminds me of those old paintings of noble women wearing giant dresses that they probably needed a team of maids to strap them into.

I read the article, and the only abuse here is the state abusing its authority.

I don’t really know much about the mother other than what’s in the story, but she obviously raised a child who feels independent enough to walk a mile to town by himself at age 11. (The title says “10”, but the article says “11”.) I would say that this is a positive thing.

On the other hand, the state is threatening to take away all of her children with this single incident. The state wants to break up this family unless she complies with all of their invasive demands. Breaking up a family seems like tyranny, especially in response to such an innocent incident.

The hypocrisy is just the worst part.

I get the humor of the comic, but I generally think it’s a bad idea to compare two people in order to make a judgement, or even two groups of people. If you actually look at the groups, you’ll almost always find that each community has its strengths and weaknesses. They can actually learn from each other.

I was watching a video of a lady who escaped from North Korea. There was a real food shortage, and people were barely surviving. But she also said that she missed the feeling of community that she felt in her home town. That there was a certain kind of happiness that she felt living in a poor community struggling to get by that she couldn’t replicate.

That was necessary because for that toilet if you were misaligned, things could go very wrong. I don’t know if the newer toilets require the same training.

Astronauts have one of the weirdest jobs. How many prestigious jobs require you to watch a video of your own asshole?

Somebody should make a FOIA request for them.

If he was found guilty of participating in an insurrection, then Trump would be constitutionally prohibited from holding any federal office.

Honestly, it is such an obvious lie, too. Can companies really just lie in their filings to the FTC?

If she really believes those breasts, ovaries, and wombs are so important, why was she telling women to think about things? You don’t think with breasts, ovaries, or wombs.

And what will she do when she hits menopause? How will that affect her beliefs?

There’s actually quite a lot that’s blatantly out in the open right now. Here’s Trump virtually saying outright that he trades government positions for political support.

“At the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his complete and total endorsement … I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump said in remarks at the Economic Club of New York. “We need to do it. Can’t go on the way we are now.”

That’s just what the public knows. There’s surely a lot more sinister quid pro quo behind the scenes.

You have forgotten about the currency that Trump usually deals in, something called “quid pro quo.”
