Probably easier to stick with “at the very least, freed them”.

Pearl Harbor was the rallying cry that brought America together (mostly) to fight the Axis powers. Prior to that, isolationist (and Anti-Semitic) groups such as the America First Committee were growing in popularity. To say America was fighting for the Jews in WW2 may be technically correct based on who was responsible for the Holocaust, but it was more the byproduct of who America’s enemies were at the time, rather than being a primary motivator. Coming in as the savior to a population being persecuted is rarely the real reason wars are fought.

Add it to the pile.

Nope, Windows will still not be my next PC. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you can’t get fooled again.

I don’t know, trickle down always sounded like piss play to me. Not much better, worse? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

For the group railing against Sharia law the loudest, they sure do love to legislate religious beliefs. I guess the real problem was Sharia just wasn’t going far enough.

Too late. Linux is going from my hobby project to my primary OS by the time they stop providing Windows 10 updates, if not sooner.

Heard this one before. How long before we hear about his extramarital affairs and the abortion he paid for. It’s always projection with these assholes.

EDIT: My bad, this guy just paid for his future wife’s abortion. Rules for thee and not for me. Slightly different hypocrisy for this guy.

The same flag outside the current house speaker’s office?

Speaker Johnson’s close ties to Christian right — both mainstream and fringe

Flags associated with acts of treason have been normalized now. Good luck pursuing that investigation for more than just show.

Saying “you are product” just make people take it literally and think Facebook is wrapping people up and selling them whole package, organ and brain included, which is nonsense

You’re the only person I’ve ever seen who has taken this expression literally.

No one is going be prominent enough to compare to Bernie, especially at the twilight of his political career, and be a natural successor.

It’s like saying where’s the next Obama, when Obama himself was no name, first term, junior Senate candidate from Illinois when he gave the 2004 DNC keynote speech, only four years before becoming president.

What I’m trying to say is, unless you’re already neck deep in Vermont politics, we probably won’t hear the name of the next prominent progressive out of the state until that seat opens up.

“We’re gonna have a little bit of a dialogue of what racist things that Charlie Kirk said.”

“I don’t know anything about that,”

Not much of a dialogue lol

I am not surprised by this. Given his track record of surrounding himself with Yes-men, this will more than likely be a bad thing. With the possible silver lining of all that campaign money being wasted on legal defense fees, might just be enough to hurt his reelection chances.

But my honest question is, does this not normally happen when a candidate becomes the presumptive nominee?

I’m still not convinced that’s not what the headline says.

Do deliberately vague headlines drive clicks?

From the article, the cop laments that telecoms are no longer handing over IP addresses when requested. Now police are being forced to obtain search warrants, like they would need to in order to tap your phone or read your mail. This seems like a consistent application of privacy law and a safeguard against law enforcement abuse of power. Seems like an absolute win to me.

This sort of fatalistic, take what you are given, attitude is astounding to me.

Calling for anyone better than who is being offered is hugely different than asking for the most qualified or capable individual to do the job. On some metric I’m sure there’s a “best” candidate out of all Americans, but my complaint is about the ocean of potential candidates between “best” and what we’ve got.

And I get the “have a beer with” factor, I’m not even saying it’s a bad thing. Being likeable as a head of state can be a significant advantage when dealing with foreign leaders, international press, or promoting domestic policy.

But these men are dinosaurs. If Trump is sworn in, he’ll be older than Reagan was when he left office. And Biden is already three years older than that. How many altered diary entries are we going to hear about after they leave office, because they’ll have been dealing with alzheimer’s or dementia while in office too?

No they don’t. How is this octogenarian the best option out of 340 million Americans to beat a septuagenarian with four criminal indictments that amount to over 90 felony charges?

Looks like average British man to me. Guess all the Brits are addicts.

And then they’ll pretend like they didn’t support him all along. That he was a “fringe” candidate that somehow won the nomination and presidency, but was not a true Republican…

I’m not sure if Mitch is looking smug here, honestly just looks blank
