It's done already.

Feeling a lot better now than I did 2+ weeks ago
Let the squealing about voter fraud begin (or rather continue)

yeah i'm not going to have any snarky commentary for any of this
it's just going to be awful through and through

Lmao
I donāt like Newsom on a personal level, but him not wasting his time entertaining the completely unserious right wing trolls is the smart move.Ā Republicans have traded policy for posturing.
What he should be worried about is bringing the dems to the polls, because most Californians arenāt aware of how we do our recall elections.

It's a little bit of people quitting because they're tired of handling the nightly protests and the fact that a unit who was dedicated to fighting gangs was disbanded.
I'm fine with quitting if the job gets too tough. Worked in customer service for 6+ years -- never again.
But I think they can probably move some of the money away from tanks and robot dogs, personally.

Crime rates are rising everywhere last time I checked.
Conservatives are suddenly very sympathetic to people refusing to do their jobs and still getting paid.
Though I guess these guys at least quit?

I find this is a good explanation behind why qanon is appealing even though it seems insane to anyone outside of the rabbit hole.

Not even the Republican party would stoop that low, they aren't that extreme. You bring up Nazi Germany, but conveniently forget that the Left has also done the sameĀ in the past, as seen in the USSR under Stalin and his successors.
whataboutism is a widespread Russian propaganda tool š

Yeah they're not selling me on the AP = Hamas, either.
I still think that the government increasingly kowtowing to right wing elements is enough to make them feel emboldened enough to do this sort of thing, though.

I'm more curious as to why it escalated so sharply.Ā I know Israel's going far off the deep end in terms of political spectrum, but would that be enough?
probably
just look at how our politics/country has transformed in the last four years. did you think the jan 6 insurrection was something on the horizon back in 2015/16?
-
Iām pretty sure perceptions are changing now because there really was no precipitating incitement beforehand to justify the violence Israel is dishing out. Thereās been some interesting mental gymnastics from supporters to try to justify it retroactively, but theyāre ringing pretty hollow. Not every building is a Hamas hq.
Things change, even ancient problems.
-
The history behind the situation and the solution is complicated.
I donāt think the morality is, though, because of just how asymmetrical the power is. Hamas being bad does not justify what Israel is doing, nor does their belief that the land belongs to them.

Hasn'tĀ the West Bank beenĀ demilitarized since 1994?

Itās hard to āboth sidesā this when thereās such a huge power discrepancy between the two powers involved: it stopping is more contingent on one side stopping.

Then they can just play M!Byleth forĀ aesthetic reasons like you if it bothers them. No one actually cares.
I chose F!Byleth because I prefer to fly sooner in Maddening. I'll probably try out M!Byleth eventually but I've burnt out on Three Houses.

It's just a whole lot of "oh my god we're so partisan" bellyaching.
If you really want to see if the stats back up the claims of systemic racism you could, like, try to look it up. There are studies: you are not the first person to ask the question.
This was a pretty solid case, with a mountain of video evidence depicting the crime. The defense threw everything they had against the wall (even blaming aliens lol?) and it was pretty unconvincing: there being other contributing factors in Floyd's death doesn't mean shit. It's like punching someone, having them hit their head on the way downĀ and dying, then blaming the cement for being too hard.

Something I alluded to earlier in this thread is now officially Georgia law.
Now minorities in poor communities who get stuck in line for hours can suffer even more!
-
It was more of a commentary on how dismissive and eager they were to discredit the story when they thought it was a white guy who was the perp versus how (predictably) happy and thrilled they were to suddenly start talking about it when the perp was identified as a brown person.
-
I don't think looking up sources should 100% be the responsibility of whoever is making the claim: there's been instances here where someone claims x, I doubt x but I'm not 100% sure, so I go try to find sources stating what they're claiming myself because I'm not really just trying to win in debate thunderdome.
9 hours ago, Dr. Tarrasque said:Just watch, they'll exploit the fact that the recent Colorado shooter is Syrian American.
I have a Gab account for shitposting and there was only one story about the shooting in the popular threads feed the day of and it was a conspiracy thread. After this revelation came through, that's all they were talking about. You really, really don't need to readĀ studies or metrics to predict typical human behavior.
-
I like the phrase.
It just really doesn't work here. The Democrats are not responsible for the acquittal and it's insane to think they are.
-
I don't really disagree with the overall sentiment, but that's a dumbĀ headline when you acknowledge victory was never possible in the first place lol
EDIT: I'm assuming the author thought it was possible, in which I have to wonder if they've been payingĀ attention at all
we really need to stop worrying about what the republicans might do and blame dems for and start operating like we're living in a realityĀ that clearly shows that if republicans control the house and senate in 2024, thereās no way a victorious democrat will be certified and allowed to take office
i'm really surprised that hasn't seemed to sunk in yet

It's just a formal statement of disapproval.
For someone capable of feeling shame, it could mean something, but lol

Sorry for giving my thoughts about it, then. I didn't want to leave his comment unheard.

2 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said:The 14th is also a way to barĀ someone from running for office.
Section 3
No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Emphasis mine. It only takes simple majority in both houses to pass. Super Majority is needed to overturnĀ it. I don't intend to imply or outright stateĀ McConnel is trying some 4D chess move here, but notice how you need Bipartisanship to bar via impeachment, against doing so by the 14th Amendment. Most Republicans are afraid to lose Trump's cult of a voter base... so...
Again, I don't claim to know this is what they're aiming, but it'd make sense if they wanted to cut Trump loose without losing face with his voters. At least, those who want Trump gone from the party.
The fact that it's really not being talked about anywhere as an alternative leads me to believe there's probably a catch. Censure seems to be the only one they're seriously looking into.
Real FE leak or Chinese clone.

This looks like a fan game. šĀ Not something I'd expect out of Nintendo at all.
EDIT: Very tech demo feel. And why is it in Chinese?
