Sympathy witheld until forms can be obtained that prove that the bullet holes were not a pre existing condition.

If he’s found, the jury should nullify. It’s their right as US citizens.

Pinching off a turtle head to prevent shitting your pants.

As does Joe Rogan. The only episode I’ve seen was his chat with Bernie. If you want Joe Rogan to believe anything, all you have to do is appear on the show. He will sit there, and smoke a blunt with you while agreeing with everything you say.

When he isn’t a billionaire mockery of a dragon.

I assume you mean Musk? He already seems to be trying to buy his way into a shadow position in the UK, since handing the US to Putin isn’t even close to enough.

The appropriate punishment is clearly laid out by the UCMJ. Musk can get fucked, since Vindman isn’t subject to US laws.

It will increase automated manufacturing. We manufacture about 3 times as much stuff today in the US as we did in 1970. The problem is that we are doing it with 1/1000 the workforce. It will add very few jobs, just a lot more robots.

Yeah, I understood that he was pretty scummy, even for a self professed “pirate,” it was the faschist accusation I wanted clarity on. I didn’t get any indication that the guy was interested in assisting any corporations, nor was he trying to help authoritarian ideologues.

I may have totally missed the fascist part since I was far more interested in the pirate part. I personally don’t consider KdC to be an actual digital pirate, since he didn’t seem to give one single shit about the free flow of information.

I also don’t consider him a nautical pirate since he seemed to be making far more booty than a ship’s charter would have allowed, and especially since he wasn’t sharing the booty with anyone at all, as far as I can tell. Pirates were some of the original “communist entrepreneurs,” AKA the original democratic co-op.

It wasn’t pretty, but if someone like KdC became a pirate captain, his reign would be ended by his own crew. Probably spearheaded by the ship’s boatswain (accountant, pronounced like bōsn or bōsün), quartermaster, (the guy with the swords and guns in the armory, also the guy who makes the shift schedule with the boatswain’s recommendations), or the ship’s doctor who regularly knew how much food or medical supplies were left, and could easily recruit the ship’s cook into the “mutiny,” or change of command.

KdC should have lost everyone that represented those keys to power within months of him setting up his scheme.

Well that isn’t the US, clearly. The article is about the US.

I hate to say it, but there are plenty of other lightning rods in the party. Heck Nikki Haley could manage to pull a coup inside the GOP if he dies. That’s the real problem for normal people. Whomever the GOP nominates they will rally around like the second coming.

Unfortunately what we need is one in every single district, so about a million(?) or so?

Just because they happen to be a minority doesn’t mean they don’t show up to the polls. The poll totals in the deep south, where the majority of black Americans live, have historically shown that black Republicans, who are mostly “Christian”, show up to the polls far more than their black Democrat counterparts. Exactly the same as white “Christian” Americans.

I was a Navy Nuclear Power Program Electronics Technician Instructor. All the documents that I had access to were well known in the civilian zeitgeist before I was born.

Snowden may have done something illegal, though my interpretation of both the UCMJ and Federal Whistleblower laws, as well as my recollection of what he released, says that you are a corporatist that is just salty that your favorite MIC corporation got outed for breaking federal laws.

Manning didn’t break the law and still served an illegal sentence, so I will give Snowden and Asange the benefit of the doubt.

I’m sick and tired of US propaganda, much less the international versions.

Trump stole far more classified documents and that is just fine according to the law

I have no love for KdC.

I would like to see some sources there, as I remember him getting arrested, and as far as I remember, the worst he did was piracy, hosting of piracy, and potentially illegal dissemination of patents. Oh and possibly hosting some potentially illegal VPNs

As a veteran, and former/ kinda current Captain, of the USN, yes. Provided that they fall under the protections for whistleblowers, which both Edward Snowden, and Chelsea Manning fell into rather neatly, according to US federal laws.

Illegal orders are illegal. Even the UCMJ agrees with that stance.

I’m not certain if we have letting agents in the US. I certainly have never used one, and I’ve rented in at least 30+ states. I’ve lived in 49/50, but that’s counting while living with my parents, so I’m not going through the effort to figure out the exact number.

I would agree with your humorous throwaway, but that is actually the reality of the US unfortunately.

Residential renters generally don’t use a real estate agent.

I call them Cyberbacks. They aren’t trucks they are bloated hatchbacks.

It would cost a few thousand dollars but if you can find a cheap empty pinball case, it looks like you could build one yourself. Most of the parts seem to be available on eBay.
