I wonder if this will swing the Dems to State rights. It seems California is at least thinking about it, given the governor's new goal of Trump-proofing the state.
I wonder if, in a hundred years, the US will look more like the EU.
This vandal has a garage full of downloaded cars.
“We don’t know the motive,” she said.
Really? You don't know the motive? I'd give anyone on the internet three guesses, and the first two don't count.
Two other officials with DeSantis’ office said that so far, there has been no effort by Biden to reach out to the governor on Hurricane Milton.
This is such a bullshit thing to say. If the sadistic antihuman monster known as DeSantis didn't accept contact from them regarding Helene, why would he expect them to immediately reach out to him on Milton? Current administration's efforts would be better spent coordinating with someone who is actually interested in the well-being of Floridians.
I have no issues with my politicians protecting people from being bombed. I'd love it if we'd also protect Ukraine with such vigor.
What I do have a problem with is when they provide the weaponry needed to commit genocidal actions and effectively encourage said usage by refusing to apply any sort of oversight.
Protecting Israel, or any other country from violence should be considered a good thing. Causing violence to Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, wherever, should not.
She would almost certainly have threatened to contact her "solicitor," not her "attorney," if it were real, given she's from/in the UK. Still a very entertaining read, though.
We know why we're hated; it's why those of us who strive to exemplify professionalism, ethics, and civility are so angry and depressed. It's why I've been having a career crisis because I always wanted to go into law, but only to do good, and now it feels like there is so little legitimacy to the judicial branch.
Fuck the people who abuse the rule of law until there is none, fuck Trump and his cronies, and fuck SCOTUS for fucking us. Now excuse me, I have to go cry in a corner.
Not really. From the article:
“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole—that’s going to be the least of it. It’s gonna be a bloodbath for the country,” he declared.
While the context may have been "auto industry," the message was clear.
Trump, meanwhile, has claimed he made Swift “so much money” and argued she’d be “disloyal” if she supported Biden, like she did in 2020.
“I’m sorry — if you only want to work four hours, it’s going to be harder for you to get a house,” she said
What a joke. I spent the better part of the last three years working 70 hour weeks until I burned myself to a crisp. I'm much better off financially than many people my age, yet I am somehow still years away from homeownership and starting a family - if I ever can.
Maybe Whoopi should retire and let a millennial do her job for her pay. Not me; I don't think I'd be able to work as hard as her. 🙄
I wish famous people would just shut up if they're going to say stupid shit. I don't want her tainting my TNG rewatch.
It's simply not the BBC's job to tell people who to support and who to condemn - who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.
I miss when this was the standard for news. Now most (e: major) outlets don't even try to pretend they have no bias and instead push a subjective point. Even when I agree with the point, I don't like it when my "news" pushes it instead of just, you know, reporting.
Give me the info and let me form my own opinions.
Thank you and the other mods for your vigorous protection of this space. Ten Forward, since its (recent) inception, has been nothing but a place of joy for me. We need what joy we can get, especially now, so I'm immensely grateful for this space and the people who share their ridiculous Star Trek memes, inside jokes, and absurdity.
We "Khan" make it through this.
