I liked it. The guardian is awful. Like the huffington post. It’s the other side of the coin from Fox News, etc. Lemmy just doesn’t like being reminded that progressives have biased news sources too.

I don’t always notice the source at first, so this was a good reminder.

Well, Option B is looking good still.

It puts a magnifying glass on the people obstructing the fight against blatant corruption. Which is a good start, and really the only thing that can be done with a simple majority.

Biden could also just start assassinating the nay sayers until the point gets through, too.

He continued to pay her after he took office. It wasn’t a one time payment, apparently.

The hush money wasn’t illegal. It was the source of the money that was illegal. He illegally paid her with campaign money.

But I believe the concern, and the entire reason prosecutors are allowing the delay, is that all evidence from the time Trump was president has become “privileged” and now may need to be individually approved as admissible.

This evidence was signing hush money checks while he was president, apparently.

This is the key problem that seems to be getting buried everywhere

The big challenge has been that humanitarian convoys have stopped carrying the aid from the pier’s storage area further into Gaza, to get it into civilian hands, because they have come under attack.

If we’re not worrying about the cost of the pier, which I don’t think the Left is at all, then it’s really not about the storms and the maintenance that’s needed to keep it operational.

The problem is Isreal is still functionally blocking the aid from reaching the people.

So why spend so many resources on this pier and put your people at risk, when distribution of the delivered aid is blockaded the same as the land aid.

The SEC won’t get additional funding, so they’ll necessarily have to let all but the highest priority cases go because they don’t have enough resources to take everything to court.

This is exactly what the Republicans want. It’s exactly what they did to IRS. Create more work for them and starve them at the same time, so that their corporate puppetmasters can get away with whatever they want, and the few times they do get taken to court, they can throw their big team of lawyers at it, drag it out, and make it not worth pursuing.

This is by design. This is their goal. And I’m certain that SCOTUS colluded with the lower courts to deliver this case to them with a bow tie.

I take Magnesium Citrate because I get frequent foot cramps, and it helps reduce them a little. Foot cramps aren’t life threatening besides i guess the small increase in risk when it occasionally happens while driving.

But they’re certainly annoying.

Oh don’t worry, they’ll reverse this decision if the Republicans get control again.

Precedent only matters when it affirms their goal. Even if it’s their own precedent, they will find some paper thin excuse to change it.

And yes, I’m aware they’ll need a new case to reach them before they can overturn anything. That’s why the conservative SCOTUS members actively collude with the conservative groups that cherry pick / manufacture cases to take to court and then push up the appeals courts so they eventually reach the SCOTUS.

Ohh look. It’s the guy that turns every news/politics article into a “both sides” argument to try to specifically disenfranchise left voters, and is mysteriously silent in all those articles quoting Trump saying he’ll enable both Russia and Isreal in their genocides.

Don’t fall for his crap. He’s only here to point fingers at Dems, never Republicans.

He’s here to help Trump get elected.

He is either part of the Russian / Isreali propaganda he’s trying to frame as bad here, or a useful idiot that has bought into said propaganda.

Yeah. That’s their intent. But they really don’t know for sure that their stunt won’t have some completely unexpected effect. Some slow reaction with that specific kind of stone that only matters if the powder gets deep into some cracks for 200 years or whatever. Or attracts stone eating bacteria of some sort.

The point is that they dont know what they dont know. Every time they pull one of these stunts, they are introducing the risk of irrevocable damage to historically significant objects that should be left to future generations.

Stop fucking around with human history. Stone Henge is a world wonder.

“But I’m one of the good slave owners! Look how much they like being my slave!”

Superman has always been a bit of a boring character, which IMO is hard to write for to make interesting beyond the origin / coming of age story.

I think screwing up Batman is a lot more offensive. So much good lore and villians to work with.

IMO, Affleck played a terrible Fatman. He wasn’t dark and brooding, he was wooden and boring. It wasn’t just the story, but Afflecks portrayal of the character.

Many many times. Because I boxed. Nothing more fun than being punched in the face under the right conditions.

If a typical storm causes rampant flooding, maybe it would behoove you to invest in infrastructure and tighten building codes.

You know, the job of local government.

Over-under for how long it will take Musk to threaten to sue this owner under some early adopter clause like the one preventing resales?

Fuck Elon, and to a lesser extend, Tesla and all. But this seems like yet another user error on several accounts. I thought “autopilot” was only supposed to be used on freeways. And obviously assisted by a human who should have seen a fucking parked cop car coming and intercede anyway.

But that said, fuck Elon and his deceptive naming of a fucking primitive tech that’s really only good at staying in a lane at speed under ideal conditions.

But middle aged dad bods are back in our (relative to category) prime, baby!

I mean, I’d like guns to be inaccessible (legally) to raging alcoholics too. You’re right that a crackhead and alcoholic can both be very destructive. But that doesn’t mean I want crackheads to have guns just because an alcoholic without a felony can own one.
