Maybe that’s the real reason for the focus on tariffs. People don’t understand it and don’t see it directly: it’s easier to lie about

Especially not true if the second strike. It’s such a farce to claim “they’re still trafficking” when it is just a few survivors out in the ocean clinging to the wreckage

While I go through logic like this, it all comes down to trust. This administration has not offered any evidence that they are actuating affecting heroin trafficking nor are they allowing due process. It’s straight up murder without due process or evidence. We only have their public claim and their rhetoric has too much history of flat out lying, too much history of complete disregard for human life.

Interesting news but why is this @politics?

Am I the only guy be who thinks this is somewhat wholesome, despite the tragedy? No one is stoking outrage, no one is casting blame, it casts the teachers in a heroic light, and it even looks like they were correctly prepared. They had and used bear spray, they stayed in a group, defended their charges: that seems like about the best you can do and sometimes it’s not enough.

Even just that this is a natural tragedy. Man’s best efforts will never overcome what nature can do: but it’s so nice that it didn’t start “rogue gunman opened fire at a school….”

I’m not trying to make light of the tragedy; they have my sympathy, but it’s “only” the tragedy

Edit: downvoting for the horrible source. I turned off reader mode and there were so many layers of so many ads that I could no longer find the article

That’s still a conflict of interest - while it would prevent trading on insider information, it does enable making decisions what will increase returns on your investment.

There’s an entire universe of indirect investments where you’re not directly involved in decisions. That should be the requirement

I hope they all noticed Pete Hegseth is a coward who immediately tried to blame it on the guy he ordered. If an order is at all questionable, you will be hung out to dry. Blame only goes downhill

If the military aren’t going to think about the orders they’re given, maybe it’ll give them pause when the person giving them is clearly a coward who will blame those he ordered

Member ls of the face eating leopard party being surprised “I didn’t mean violence against my political party”

Plus personal data on all employees and quite likely personal data on all citizens

You give him too much credit for seeing inefficiency. It was simply “gov is too expensive. We need massive layoffs”.

Orange Mussolini always liked attention, wanted to be famous……. History will put him up there with Mao and Stalin as causing most deaths

Apparently the orange traitor learned from Jan 6!that he can get away with even the worst crimes. That plausible deniability is microscopically thin

I have to say that while it’s a stupid idea and motivated by spite , it’s more logically consistent than the usual MAGA shitshow

A swat on the butt with a magazine is a humiliation fetish now? Holy crap, I thought I was too vanilla

Don’t forget the office vacancy rate in downtown Chicago matches his number. So someone told him there was 28% office vacancy, and someone told him there was a “Magnificent Mile” shopping district, and he conflated it to miracle mile shopping center 28% vacant because crime

By far the two largest races for my local election were nyc mayor and prop 50: all the press, all the publicity, all the talk …. And my ballot held city councillors and school board candidates who were mostly unopposed.

It’s actually unexpected: my town has had some contentious issues lately on school funding, higher density housing , bike lanes, pedestrianizing a section of our “main” street, and a war between a strong mayor and ineffective city council …. I expected to attract more candidates, more voters

At the very least, maybe there will be a few people whose echo chambers ring with “it’s the dems fault”, who will hear this and finally start to think.

Presidential elections hinge on one or two percent of voters do every little bit helps

My mind always goes toward the Fermi Filter here. Maybe I need to get off the internet for a while

Healthcare is an excellent place for democrats to hold the line, especially now when so much is lost.

Usually I blame republicans for shutdowns but now I blame republicans, and cheer on the democrats.

Ironically, on the enshittification front, it was progressives that I first noticed ….

Yes, back to the face-eating leopard party. A huge logic gap as one of the many reasons we can no longer understand each other.

• Unsatisfied with the guys not doing enough to make your life better? Burn it all down assuming you can walk through the flames unharmed.
• Don’t like being in a bad spot? Destroy all attempts to help you, with the expectation it will hurt those people more and you’ll be ok because you are one of the “good ones”.
