I mean, technically yes. The courts didn’t prosecute Trump for his role in the coup attempt, and Trump pardoned everyone who faced legal penalty. Everything about Jan 6 has been determined to be okay and cool by the current US government.
It’s almost like things that are lawful are not inherently moral or right. Slavery is still lawful in the U.S.
I don’t think you understand. Rome burning is the distraction. Shit like this is the real goal. The U.S. will be lucky if it hasn’t collapsed to neo-feudalism in the next four years.
I would be amazed if there is anything left to demolish once they’re finished.
They know what it stands before, but if you ask them to drop the mask they’ll start saying racial slurs.
The biggest issue with this take is that merit/test score is still the biggest factor. For example, a law firm is not passing over well-qualified white candidates to hire unqualified black candidates, they’re just trying to hire more well-qualified black candidates because they’re currently an all-white firm. Nobody is ever getting a job as an act of charity, and typically it just helps to avoid implicit hiring bias. To go back to the example, why has the law firm become all white? Well the first two partners were white, and even if they aren’t offensively racist they still have enough internal bias that they only hired other white workers. Like in this example, most DEI initiatives are about reducing existing internal biases.
If you seriously think the Dems haven’t been spending every day since they lost the election punching left, I’ve a bridge to sell you.
Literally today. Just because you don’t give a shit about Palestine and are ignoring their struggle, doesn’t suddenly make it stop. The same groups who were protesting the genocide when it was happening under Biden are still out there protesting.
I can’t help but feel like the Dems end goal with this kinda bullshit is to try and manufacture this idea that leftist outrage over Gaza is entirely fabricated. We couldn’t really care about brown people, we must have made up a bunch of nasty lies to make Kamala Harris look bad! It’s really self-telling that they can’t imagine genocide would be a bridge too far.
Right, and how exactly is the group that decries capitalism meant to obtain financial support, or break through the righ-wing captured media?
Capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with leftist ideology, and will do everything in its power to squash it.
A lot of the people who are defending the DNC are not the ones decrying it.
Turns out the only moral genocide is Democrat genocide. The millisecond Republicans do it we can suddenly all agree that it’s abhorrent and there are no excuses for our part in it.
Literally the outcome of this election was guaranteed back in August. The second the Harris/Walz started polling at 50/50 was when a contested election became the best possible outcome, and a contested election was always going to be awarded to Trump through the captured Supreme Court.
I get that libs are disappointed that the country just gave him the keys without a fight, but Trump was prepared for that fight. It’s why they kept shouting that our election was a sham and already decided; they knew they would steal the election if necessary. Dems were never going to do anything to stop it, same as they did nothing for Gore vs Bush.
The coup happened decades ago. They’re now comfortable enough in their power that the mask can come off.
Don’t they already have this? What is the Steam Deck, if not a rival to the PS5 and the Xbox ala the Switch? Shouldn’t the focus go into optimizing that space, as opposed to trying again at the home console market?
God, imagine if he was telling the truth. The president of the United States doesn’t pay any attention or heed to the financial markets? It’s just as ludicrous a position!
I see this less as caving to the bully and more grown-ups playing with a child. They know they can just nod their heads and play in Trump’s fentanyl fairytale land for a phone call, and that gives them a whole extra month for more trade deals that will make them less reliant on the U.S. The only one losing here is Trump, who just looks like a petulant toddler getting played like a rube, but I suspect he’s too stupid to see it that way.
Who cares, generalizing content for the masses is how you get the slop Onion was making before. This one is absolutely hilarious for those that know.
I have a very hard time imagining Trump will keep his word, but you gotta respect Sheinbaum for getting as much as she could. Trump might be feeling very pro gun control now that he’s in power though, so maybe there’s hope for a broader deal to help secure Mexico’s border from the flow of illegal American firearms.
I can’t imagine it’ll be all that good. The thing that really pushes Buffy to “cult classic” status is honestly 90s nostalgia. I can’t imagine a version of Buffy that isn’t heavily steeped in 90s cliches.
I think he’s in as good a state as he can really hope for. If you really wanna play Invoker from Dota and throw out lots of elements to get huge damage from Catalyze, there’s now a reason to do that with Impetus! If you just wanna be a big health tank weapons platform, Valence Formation is a really powerful reason to do that. Hopefully his Prime offers a lil more armor or sprint speed, since obv he can’t get any more energy. Not really sure what extra tweaks he’d need.
