  • [Video] ICE agent in Minneapolis seen leading a handcuffed woman into a portable toilet, he then goes inside with her.

  • Did he bounce his head off the ground? That looked like a painful wipeout. I wonder if she laughed and he got angry.

  • No, you can't transfer your prize, Nobel body says amid Machado's Trump suggestion

    Jump

  • That's not quite true, Trump first ran for President in 2000.

  • If the protests in Iran win/topple the government what will it look like immediately afterwards? Also what would be the good or bad about installing a monarchy again?

    Jump

  • Reinstalling the monarchy is almost certainly not happening. If it did I wouldn't expect the new gov to last, the monarchy lacks the popularity and infrastructure necessary for that to be successful. It's tough to say what things will look like if the current government falls but some kind of civil war is very likely I think.

  • I like to think so. You?

  • It seems like you are misunderstanding the situation. I'm asking you to explain why you support Italian media executives having the power to censor the Internet.

  • Can you explain more? It sounds like you think it's acceptable for the owners of an Italian sports league to have this power over the Internet?

  • The Fairness Doctrine seems kind of pointless now that traditional OTA TV and radio are dying off. I could see companies like Fox News just divesting from licenced broadcasting entirely and sticking with only cable and streaming to avoid getting regulated. The media ecosystem exists mostly outside of licensed spectrum now so it wouldn't be much of a loss for them. The end of the Fairness Doctrine was definitely fundamental to how we got here, but I don't think bringing it back will change anything significant about how the system functions now.

  • Are you currently lying about something on the internet?

    Jump

  • It's not fundamentally different but it is improved. If you keep your armor on and load up on potions you can probably mash your way through anything.

  • Bring a fake checkbook, fraud was a lot easier back in the '80s.

  • Are there examples of vertical integration that aren't harmful to the consumer?

    Jump

  • In situations where your product is dependent on a problematic supply chain it can make sense for a company while also being beneficial to consumers. Imagine you need 100 widgets a month to build your product but the market is only capable of providing 10. It might make sense to start making 90 widgets a month to supply your own unmet demand. Especially if there's also a widget cartel trying to squeeze your margins so producing the widgets yourself lets you cut them out of your supply chain. That could be the difference between your survival and failure.

  • Why do some "Democrats"/"leftists" discriminate despite the beliefs/most people being against that?

    Jump

  • The things people say they believe and how people actually behave are only loosely related. Not many people have a fully formed and coherent ideology that's also congruent with their real life.

  • Trump, 79, finally admits he’s wearing compression socks and makeup to hide how sick he is

    Jump

  • He is increasingly disinhibited, it's one of the things that happens in old age as time takes its toll on brain functions. Really old people will just say whatever, a lot like drunk people do.

  • Got permabanned from reddit for telling a russian troll to go back to the muscovite empire...

    Jump

  • It sounds like the dude got exactly what he wanted.

  • ‘I Was Just So Naïve’: Inside Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Break With Trump | How the Georgia congresswoman went from the president’s loudest cheerleader to his loudest Republican critic.

    Jump

  • I don't think I'm following. Why do you think MTG is faking it? Who do you think is manufacturing anti-Trump propaganda?

  • ‘I Was Just So Naïve’: Inside Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Break With Trump | How the Georgia congresswoman went from the president’s loudest cheerleader to his loudest Republican critic.

    Jump

  • I read about a half dozen of the authors comments and I'm not seeing it? They seem to be polite and diplomatic but the closest thing to defending her is providing details about the "Jewish space lasers" incident.

    Is she not a character making a play for respectability? I don't understand how reporters pointing that out is an issue, it is factually what is happening. I agree she isn't a respectable person and never will be, but it doesn't change what is currently going on with her.

    I also don't understand how it is a cheap ploy for the news media to cover her defection/excommunication. That seems inherently newsworthy to me, I think it would be weird if they didn't cover it and ignored the situation.

    Jump

  • They aren't that I have seen, do you have examples? She was getting a lot of attention for how the Epstein saga played out in Congress, and now is the highest profile example of a MAGA true believer who is willing to talk publicly about being driven out of the cult. There's perhaps a tendency currently to focus on these recent events more than her history as a piece of shit, but I've yet to see any articles that ignore who and how she is.

  • Is there an endgame to Trump or trying to obtain? Or is he making it up along the way at the cost of Americans?

    Jump

  • Both, and there's more than one end game because there's multiple factions behind Trump who have slightly different end games in mind. There is a shared purpose and common cause built up around Trump but also some fundamental tensions within the party about what the post-Constitutional order will look like once they've fully consolidated power.
