Trump didn’t promise to keep the tarrifs lifted, only to pause them. You are correct that it’s insane to have a continual 30 day “will he won’t he” tension.
I hate that my syrup is about to get more expensive, but it’s really the right thing for Canada to do.
Robocop is a scathing critique on capitalism. What’s nuts is I don’t think everyone gets that. It’s literally the underlying theme of the movie.
Same thing happens with starship troopers. People miss the fact it’s a critique of fascism and colonialism even though the movie ends with Nazi uniforms.
Federal judges can only be removed via impeachment.
Now, what happens if the executive decides not to pay judges? It’s supposed to be impeachment.
So Trump could decide to simply stop the paychecks but not the rulings.
Always was.
It was blindingly obvious this was a genocide on like Oct 8th or 9th. The atrocities have simply ramped up every month.
The IDF started Oct 7 shooting hostages to kill hamas. They spent every month after that bombing the hell out of every bit of infrastructure in gaza.
They used snipers to kill children. They shot more hostages with a “woopsie” after the fact. They shot aid workers trying to bring food. They shut off power/water/electricity. They shot at doctors working in hospitals. And they didn’t constrain their genocidal thoughts to just gaza. They expanded into the west bank and later into Lebanon.
The Israeli fascists have simply relied on calling everyone “antisemitic” for calling out the actions of a rouge state.
Why was the army running a night flight training mission in DC?
Such a crowded airspace and I’m sure the military didn’t coordinate their flight plans with the local air traffic control.
This is generally going to be less a doctor problem and more a hospital admin problem.
Hospitals try and employ the fewest doctors possible to save money, they schedule doctors so they have 5 minutes per patient, and they pack the schedules as dense as possible to maximize the number of cases a doctor is handling.
Any disruption here causes a delay. A patient showing up late, having questions, or the doctor needing to shit. It all adds up to the fail system.
There are simple fixes here like extending the doctors appointments beyond the average required time and hiring now doctors, but that costs money and doesn’t optimize profit for the shareholders.
I’m honestly shocked the SC took up the case. Congress clearly has the authority to regulate businesses doing interstate commerce (like tiktok). I think the law is dumb china hawkery, but I also think there’s nothing unconstitutional about it. Congress could shutdown nearly any tech business they like for whatever reason they like.
So let’s be really fucking clear here on what Vivek and Musk want. It isn’t more immigration. They want disposable tech workers that they can ship back to their countries of origin when they misbehave. They want the power dynamic they have over H1Bs that they don’t have over US citizens.
What Musk and Vivek can’t find isn’t “motivated” americans. They can’t find cheap american tech workers who have to take abuse or else they get deported.
This is, BTW, why right wingers focus so heavily on border control but not employment enforcement. You could end 90% of undocumented workers today if you penalized businesses found employing them. And it’s real fucking easy to find those businesses. Go to just about any farm in the US.
The reason for boosting ICE funding is so a business owner can turn to their undocumented employees and say “If you don’t fall in line, I’ll call ICE and deport your ass”. This allows them to issue all sorts of abuse at their employees that they can’t get away with for US citizens.
This is why open borders or easy paths to citizenship is important.
Oh boy. He’s actually a president I hate almost as much as Reagan!
The Clinton legacy was the complete dismantle of the federal government and privatization of core government functions. He’s why we have private prisons and partial privatization of Medicare.
He was a conservative Democrats when those were still a thing. Gore was the political opposite of what Clinton stood for.
Clinton balanced the budget by ransacking social programs and aging a bunch of means testing to make qualifications what they are today. He’s why public housing disappeared.
The only thing Clinton did that I like is cutting back on defense spending. He was otherwise a terrible president that unified conservative ideals of both the conservative Dems and Republicans at the time.
The only reason he didn’t do more damage is the response of the Republicans at the time ended up being newt gingrich who drove the party further to the right and made it a party motto to obstruct everything that a Democrat wants to do.
Clinton move the Democrats right which caused Republicans to run farther right. The conservative Democrats that came in with Clinton still linger today with all the shitty notions of what government should look like. That’s why Kamala ran the dumbass campaign that she did. DC is infected with the notion that Democrats need to be Republican lite. All this comes from DC morons wanting desperately to recreate the Clinton presidency.
Yeah, there was a huge gap in the experience of a white person and a PoC. Further, the 70s was right on the cusp of stagflation. Not unlike what we feel today.
LMAO. It’s hilarious to me how basically nobody is mourning the death of this dude. Hopefully it is making other insurance leadership start to rethink their careers.
Every single cop in Blobsky’s department is suspect. I find it highly unlikely that he spent decades raping people and planting evidence without his fellow pigs knowing about at least some of it.
Depends entirely on who the veterans are. If the majority of the veterans have only a year under their belt, this can be disastrous.
Lmao, everyone can read this thread including yourself. Try again.
Then how can you claim the statement is a lie?
Right, because it makes Israel look bad. Anything that makes them look bad is a lie right?
Oh? What’s the official number? Perhaps you can report how many children Israel has counted.
“I mean, sure Israel is murdering thousands of children, expelling people from their homes, bombing a sovereign nation unprovoked, and Israel is bulldozing homes to make way for new settlements. But other nations do bad stuff too so this is obviously antisemitic”
What’s antisemitic is conflating the actions of Israel with Jewish people. Jews aren’t inherently fascist and fascist Jews aren’t all Jews.
This is also fucking disgusting as antisemitism is a real thing. Trying to conflate it with Israel critique makes people take antisemitism less seriously which is also dangerous.
Clickbait title. Makes it sound like he was arrested for searching the term. He was arrested for hacking the SEC account. He later searched for “how do I know if the FBI is investigating me”.
Assuming he has a competent lawyer. Very possible she sucks and so does his lawyer.
Truly some excellent adventures were had in those boxes.
