A lot of this is a function of democrats not having a clear policy about anything because there is no leaders and high negative for the party overall

U.N. official says President Trump’s own team was responsible for the “broken” escalator and teleprompter he complained about incessantly. trib.al/Xv5xfZd

From what I was reading in the Brasilian press this is not true. There were some in the military who would have been willing to execute the coup but not to put Bolsonaro in power.

And Mandani is supposed to be the antisemitic candidate?

Defund the police is a bad slogan because it leads people to understand zero funding for the police and dispite what you may have heard on the internet police are overall popular. People want good cops to exist. Good cops like they see on TV.

FYI the United States Government has waived sovereign immunity (if there is compliance with the tort claims act) for claims for malicious prosecution.

I agree with this ... which is making me reconsider my opinion

The idea that the president is not bound by any law and only bound by the political will to impeach is insane, antithetical to the republican form of government, expressly rejected by the founders and impeachable offenses for any justice who even says maybe much less yes to that question.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

The supreme court should be a job that none but the most healthy 70 year old could even possibly perform. Also if they are going to ride the circuit... they need to do it on horseback

I still dont understand why they dont just shoot down all the Russian drones (and planes) violating NATO airspace

@hurricanexyz.bsky.social you called Nemik a mid political thinkers ... and yet

I want to see the letter from their attorneys explaining the possible consequences of keeping Kimmel off the air.

John Roberts didn't want to be Roger Taney ... so he became a chief Justice so bad that it replaced Taney as the epitome of a bad chief Justice. All future Justice will want to avoid being Roberts and think being Taney is at least not a complete disaster.

American in general and his most fervent supporters in particular

It was the job interview

If the government tries to do a sting operation giving a criminal money... and then just shuts down the sting operation... do they just let the criminal keep the money? Is it just a crime subsidy at that point?

I think there is a big difference between this is the end of Pax Americana and we wont be able to rebuild from this (probable) This is the end of American as we know it and its all state of nature or fascism from here on out (almost impossible)

Apparently someone keeps calling my mom trying to buy my house (she is in no way related to my home purchase). Does anyone know what that is about?

I think what this moment has revealed is that we as a nation are no longer the home of the brave.

We should not have staffed the DEA full of people that jerk off to Scario and want to make it real

Shoot them down already

The real problem is going to be keeping 5-20 democrats from rushing to sign on to this idea

Who put Obama between two ferns again?

The declaration of independence ends with this pledge "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." If you can't embrace this spirit you don't belong in congress

The Baileys must be Jimmy Kimel fans ... like super fans

Once I started making money I made a point of subscribing and paying for media to make sure that the producers were earning a living

If we want this to happen someone will need to put in on the ballot here

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

The rule of law does not dwell in stone or vellum. It exists in the heart of the a free people.

Witticism is a word we dont use anymore and I want to know why

Let me just say a simple thing. Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy. If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

If you work for marvel, now’s a great time to tell your boss you’re losing customers over what the parent company is doing

They will also never honor a deal that they are not forced to. Never keep a promise they don't have to. They are always looking for an opportunity to screw someone over - thats part of the fun for them.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

If you were to implement the immigration process that most immigration hawks want we would massively liberalize immigration

The big difference is that Europeans regulate things without needing a big scandal first or decades of research indicating beyond all doubt that the chemical is indisputably bad and there are less bad alternatives.

This is not the argument he thinks he is making. The fact that odious positions used to be fringe and now are standard MAGA positions doesn't make the positions less odious and more meritorious of debate. It make it necessary to reject more MAGA people.

My entire life I have been really skeptical of the jury (grand and petite) system as a bulwark against authoritarianism and I am happy to be proven wrong

Broke: Putin is going to test NATO article V Woke: Netanyahu is going to test NATO article V

Truth can be contingent and temporary, but it doesn't make it any less important that we acknowledge it as truth. Truth can be self-evident, and it becomes a test to see who is able to perceive and understand reality like the rest of us.

This is my America is already great view

So Elon Musk decided to fully imitate John DeLorean

The Bill Kristol wing of the democratic party and the AOC wing of the democratic party are the only parts of the party that understand how to fight fascism.

In Brasil Paraguay had the reputation of being the place where low quality counterfeit merchandise came from This seems right to me

I think 4 members of the conservative majority of the court don't. I think 2 members of the conservative majority of the court know the difference they just don't care if the king is a republican.

In Star Wars posting - I think the sequel trilogy could be significantly improved if they re edited and added a couple of scenes in Force Awakened and The Last Jedi where they mention the plan to resurrect Palpatine. Rebels (and Kylo) dont need to know about it
