Definitely true.

And if they continue to be allowed to skip due process, citizens will end up getting deported.

Both candidates ran as conservatives that attacked the left side of the Democratic party more than they did Trump’s policies. It’s not because they were women, it’s the policies they stood for.

She ran on exactly the same thing as Biden and backtracked on everything progressive she said in previous campaigns.

Is she even considering running at all?

Back in my day our parents just gave us cash to buy anything we wanted anywhere.

They should put tariffs on Mexican meth to protect local meth making jobs.

Yeah, I don’t really have any reason to doubt there’s such a thing, but all we see is a blurry picture of some buildings there.

Also, who the hell posts stuff like this on LinkedIn of all places?

Very salty shit.

None of the criminals in the Bush years went to prison despite torture and war crimes, nobody from the previous Trump admin went to prison despite an attempted coup and naked corruption.

As long as Democrats refuse to choose an AG that will actually do something about their criminality, there’s no incentive for any of them to stop it the GOP itself to clean house.

Way too early in the season to tell, IMHO. Norris had one ‘bad’ weekend, and he still ended up on the podium. They’re closely matched, so it’ll probably come down to who manages to be most consistent.

Point is, they’re big, impossible to hide from anyone that has satellites, and you just need to get a lucky hit with a relatively cheap missile/torpedo to give the other side a multi-billion dollar loss in one go.

I mean, carriers in this modern age probably are mostly sitting ducks against any modern adversary. They could barely take on Yemen.

If your adversary has satellites that can tell them where you are and a sufficient amount of missiles / torpedoes, there’s only so much you can do.

All UBI proposals I’ve seen don’t get anywhere near what you’d need to live off, and even worse, it’s sometimes sold as a way to gut other social programs. We definitely need to do something if we really are going into a world where AI is taking jobs, but it needs to be something better (maybe just provide free housing, and other basic necessities if AI can provide us with unlimited stuff anyway?).

But the way things are going, the billionaires just want to make their own personal wealth grow and don’t think what would happen to the rest of us in the future they’re imagining.

Yeah, I do follow him. I’m actually surprised he’s not mentioned in the column, you’d think Monbiot would be aware of him by now.

By stopping austerity. Tax the wealthy and reinstate everything that’s been torn down since the new deal. Shift taxes from taxing labour to taxing assets.

Yes, although this is NZ. But yeah, having it get out of control like that does definitely sound like sovereign citizenship shit.

Yeah, it’s a lot easier to just make it a habit and doing it everywhere instead of overthinking the context.

On what grounds would it be unconstitutional? It’s basically similar to the pardon power.

The US is just going to isolate itself by doing a trade war by itself. The only way this was going to really hurt China was if the US somehow got the EU, Canada and Australia to put the same tariffs on China. Instead the US is just pushing everyone into China’s arms and making things more expensive on their end.
