I was listening to a radio show (CBC) who had an expert on voting demographics. He was saying that a fairly sizeable portion of Trump’s base were irregular voters. That is to say, they only turn out if they feel strongly enough about something, and the promise they believed was that he would fight corruption.

They also have a core belief that the gov’t is run by a cabal of pedophiles, and that Trump would fix that. Backing down on the Epstein files is a huge slap in the face to them.

So while you’re absolutely right that these people would probably never cross the aisle and vote democrat, as you say, what they’re more likely to do is just not vote.

I must have been looking away, when it happened, truely unfortunate.

In that case, by all means. But deport him through the proper channels, not ICE nonsense.

As much as I’d enjoy the schadenfreude, you’re right. It’s impossible to take a principled stance if you only enforce it when it suits you.

But Cammack, who opposes abortion and co-chairs the House pro-life caucus, told the Wall Street Journal she blames messaging from pro-abortion groups for delaying her treatment, which is not banned under Florida’s restrictive statutes, who have created fear of criminal charges.

She… Uhhh… Oh. She’s a moron. A hypocrite and a moron.

After Trudeau self-sabotaged electoral reform, I decided to never vote for them again until they fulfill that promise. Lying is the norm for the Liberals, so fuck em.

Could we maybe focus on infrastructure that makes people’s lives better, like robust public transportation and cycling infrastructure? Is it crazy that maybe we could focus on reducing our oil dependency before building more pipelines?

“Look what you made me do!”

Cool. You go first, asshole. >:(

(Not you, OP, you’re cool.)

If it walks like a Nazi duck, quacks like a Nazi duck, and salutes like a Nazi duck…

Yeah, I’m highly dubious that the 135 figure includes speculative future problems that will inevitably crop up from the damages done. While I’m sure that there is some amount of actual bureaucratic waste that was going on, there’s no way the savings from that is going to cover the true cost which won’t be fully apparent for years.

• the implication that Trump does anything himself
• the implication that another human could be that bad at hair and makeup

Hwat?

How could you possibly interpret it in any other way?

“I said to them, was there any sign of love?” Trump said, recounting his conversation with released hostages.

“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.

“People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.

You can’t make this level of stupidity up.

Shocking. You shitcan the infosec practices and human resources you’ve built up for decades, and then wonder why your new seive doesn’t make a good bucket.

We’ve got some absolute geniuses running things here.

If we ever get a 2nd round of Nuremberg trials, this Paul Dans guy is gonna get his comeuppance. If he doesn’t get green mario’d first, that is.

[This change] would also make candidates in elections liable to criminal prosecution for making any false statement to win votes.

While I think this is amazing and should be the standard everywhere, it’s also quite hard to prove intent beyond a reasonable doubt in this sort of scenario. It just means politicians need to maintain some amount of plausible deniability.

As much as I’d like to see corrupt politicians in jail, I have to wonder if somehow making it a civil offence rather than criminal wouldn’t be better, since it would only require proof on the balance of probabilities, rather than the higher standards of beyond reasonable doubt.

At least the criminal liability seems to also be on top of code of conduct violations which could lead to retractions or a suspension.

Now that I think about it, this totally could work with a few minor changes. How aboot y’all become the 11th province of Canada.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

If by “negotiate an end…” you mean carve Ukraine up for mineral and land rights, then I suppose that’s probably accurate enough.
