I simply don’t believe that European countries will ever stand up for themselves against the US. It’s just so pathetic to watch.

Never forget Obama’s policy of retroactively classifying anyone who was murdered by a US drone as an enemy combatant BECAUSE of their proximity to an exploding US drone missile regardless of who they were before we blew them up.

I knew Tate was a ln insecure woman hating, probably closeted, human trafficking rapist. I didn’t realize that he’s also a Nazi.

Honestly, I’ve read this piece by Josh Marshal three times now and I’m not sure what he’s trying to claim. Is he saying that the fascist overreach by the federal government, of sending troops into states to terrorize citizens, isn’t too worrisome because the feds are still articulating a law-based justification for doing it? That is to say, if they are still winking at the idea of doing ‘laws’, then the violence they are escalating won’t go too far. Am I interpreting that wrong?

If that’s what Josh as actually saying, this is ridiculous liberal cope from an ideology that only values process and not principle. Look everyone, trump signed the forms in the right places, so you don’t have to worry about his goons cracking your kids’ skulls. Oh, elections happen on the state level, and the federal government is still referencing states as an entity in their bogus law fare filings, so we’re still okay.

It’s precisely this kind of pedantic, legalistic, and frankly cowardly worldview that has kept the Democrats from mounting any kind of substantive opposition to the Republicans’ fascist project for 40 years. Some things actually aren’t that complex.

And, they’ll vote for him again anyway (or whatever the equivalent future action is) because it’s a death cult.

Oh stop it. Are you actually claiming that you can’t characterize the culture of a nation of people, claiming that there is NO prevailing common beliefs? That’s nonsense. Your objection to the question is just a permission structure for some of the terrible things that Americans tend to believe and provides way more deference to a group that, based on their collective actions for centuries, don’t deserve it.

Can we talk about the tragic irony of a US government that is both hoisting up as virtuous heroes the protesters in Iran who are fighting brutally tyrannical oppressors, all while brutally oppressing US citizens in an attempt to kickstart their own tyranny?

This rally cry (to dismantle DHS) sounds exactly like the kind of popular policy position the Democrats always take when they are out of power. Then, when we give them the power to act, they refuse to implement it (usually in service of some nonsense like “mending”, “coalition building”, or “returning to normalcy”).

Participation award.

They can block view of specific things, and force you to pay to unlock them. They can also add features you can subscribe to, like ‘make your spouse look more attractive’. I tell you, the business possibilities are endless.

I suggest we call it Slopi. Looking forward to opting out of this also.

Don’t worry, they’ll make a version with advertisements inserted into the field of view for the poors.

Did AI build that dogshit website of theirs too?

In the mid-nineties I passionately believed that the internet would democratize information and usher in a wonderful new era of well-informed critical thinking and general enlightenment. Basically the opposite has happened.

Because billionaires like these two, and the corporations that they run, believe they’re largely not accountable to the law nor cultural pressure. They exist in a cloud of privilege that never holds them to account for truth, justice nor anyone’s wellbeing as long as the investors get paid. They are sociopaths.

From the released footage, it appears that the murderer, Jonathan Ross, was holding his phone camera and filming the entire murder. That is critical evidence that the state needs to have to either prosecute or potentially exonerate Jonathan Ross. I’m not sure why more of the reporting on this murder isn’t covering that detail. Again, murderer Jonathan Ross is in possession of critical murder evidence that documents a fuckin’ murder.

Yes, I’m talking about murderer Jonathan Ross, who did a murder.

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross.

ICE are enemies of all Americans. If you’re ICE, you deserve prosecution. If our justice system is so broken that the law no longer applies to ICE, then Americans need to tear them to pieces.
