Tiny Timbs posted:How do the chuds rationalize Trump’s visits to child rape island? They'll never hear about it. You need to understand how insulated their information feed is. I work with one, and he claims to have never heard about Trump's bankruptcies, sexual assaults, Ukrainian extortion attempts, or any of his other many misdeeds. It simply doesn't happen in their world, and if it somehow sneaks in, its fake news created by the nebulous forces out to get them, personally.

shame on an IGA posted:Feels like it could be a Moscow apartment bombing situation, Khameini stepped in it big time the other day by flirting with calling himself a prophet, plus elections are coming up. I have two questions. Is declaring yourself a prophet heresy in Shia Islam? Is heresy even a thing in Shia Islam?

pmchem posted:i mean, there's this example that was critical to the success of MLK's civil rights movement? And they did have a foe they were marching against who was actively trying to stop them. It's not similar at all, except for both involving a lot of people on a public road.

Can Germany grow enough calories to feed it's populace without imports? That is to say, do they have enough farm capacity to meet the daily caloric needs of the population e without importing food. This doesn't take into account crop variety or meat vs produce balance, just whether or not they can avoid starvation solely on domestic production. I recall this was an issue towards the end of WWI, but I don't have any inkling of what the current situation is.

Protests need to be just one portion of a comprehensive political action agenda. Just showing up and shouting on its own is meaningless, because these days your opposition has better press than you.

Itchy_Grundle posted:The thing is that at least in New York these communities usually vote as a block and wield a great deal of political power. It's not just in NYC, but in several towns in the outlying suburbs. With enough mass and motivation, you can get one of your own in office, which is even better than simply having a lot of influence over a candidate.

Terrifying Effigies posted:Wouldn't getting called up for federal service actually be better for them? I thought I remembered hearing that the Guard gets hosed over in a bunch of ways when on state duty, especially in Texas where Abbot's been calling them up for extra long extended border duty. It would. If they get called up their pay and supply situation falls under the DoD, not the State of Texas, and the abuses they've previously suffered on earlier Texas border call-ups likely would no longer be plaguing them.

Flikken posted:On one hand yes, better bennies. On the other hand they didn't enlist to be full time and have other lives. So its tremendously unfair to them to be jerked around in a pissing match between the state and fed governments One thing that came out of the previous state border call-ups is that their lives were just as disrupted as if they were subject to a federal call up. Even though they were closer to home, they were still sick at their assigned areas. A.o.D. fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Jan 13, 2024 |

Flikken posted:I'm advocating for them to be left the gently caress alone. No argument there. I was just trying to point out that a Federal call up wouldn't necessarily be worse than a state one, especially given the poo poo show the earlier border deployments turned out to be.

Grip it and rip it posted:Open up the borders entirely. Let people come and go as they please. I'm not quite there. I think there needs to be some vetting in terms of background checks, and customs control is also necessary, but I do believe that the bar anyone has to clear to get permanent entry to the country is to say "yes" to the question "Do you want to become an American?"

hobbesmaster posted:Note that since it’s a state wide deployment odds are that Alaska is effectively as far from home as the border is for many. It’s really hard to undersell how loving big Texas is. The character of your call up matters, too. If you're effectively on lock down and you don't have any access to personal communication devices, it doesn't matter if you're on duty down the street from where you live or on Phobos. You won't have access to civilian amenities or the ability to communicate with loved ones.

Platystemon posted:It’s not that a whole lot changed in those seven minutes, it’s that fifty‐four to forty‐four, while comfortable for Mr. Trump, is not a blowout. And it's believed that a significant percentage of those that voted for Haley would not under any circumstance vote for Trump as the party nominee, and that a non-trivial number would cross party lines to vote against him. If this were a normal candidate in a normal primary, Trump's numbers would be great, but in context, this represents a problem for his chances at winning the general election. He should still carry any deep red state, but his odds of winning any contested state should be pretty bad. at least that's what I tell myself so that I don't get my middle name spoken aloud on national news. Watch him make an rear end of everyone just like he did in 2016.

When I got had shoulder surgery they prescribed me some stuff and all it did was make me go unpleasantly out of body and gave me some mild hallucinations. The very next day I asked for some thing weaker and didn't even finish the prescription. I just do not get along with opiates. Not my sister in law, however, she asked me for any extras I had left over.

Lemniscate Blue posted:The Kpop fans ran a surprisingly effective slacktivism campaign a few years ago jamming the hashtags that the right-wing media machine kept trying to make go viral. I wouldn't be shocked to see that happen again. Slacktivism has such a negative connotation with regard to effectiveness, I kind of hate to see it applied here. I mean, it wasn't necessarily high effort, but making far right messaging pipelines useless is, in my mind a worthwhile effort. Then again, it is low effort on the part of a community, I guess I'm just shaking my fist at clouds about this.

The only unambiguously true things that can be said about Trump and the current state of things is that he made the internal Republican processes revolve around him, and that he encouraged people to be their worst selves.
