I'd never had a gun before I joined the army After I got out I was shocked to learn gun without a safety were a thing. Still just seems insane to me even though I get why they don't.

The apparatus should face justice as well as be evaluated. I could argue the electoral college system had one useful trait and that was to be a hedge against populist politicians. In this event that system has been shown the be ineffective. A political party has been able to weaponize stupidity against our nation.

lol listening to NPR news talk about this was fascinating. They only provided the facts, but they definitely were emphasizing words. The reaction to this tid bit from the interviewer had so much in it "Really, Fascinating" but she somehow said that in a tone that really said "oh! he's fucked". The announcement of the indictment was "Trump has been indicted, AGAIN" in a tone that basically said, "really dude how many laws did you fucking break?"

He absolutely would not have a point here. She would not face these sorts of consequences regardless for the same reason Pence, Biden, Bush, and numerous others have not. When it was discovered they may have had confidential information they and were asked and they immediately began cooperating with officials. Not so for Trump. In addition the type and scale of that classified information is in a class all its own in this case. You cannot use an past events for comparison in this case because it is completely unprecedented the disregard for law and the norms is on a whole different level from anything that has come before it.

Why don't you tell me what communism means to you. You can't really communicate ideas if you don't speak a common language.

This is prime example of my point.
Just so you know, we like communists (mostly, we are communists), we’re generally OK with socialists
Your statement reveals you have no knowledge of the subject or ideals you claim to believe in. Communism is a process in which to establish a Socialist utopia. It was conceived by Marx based on the Machiavellian quote "The ends justify the means." and was laid out in the Communist Manifesto. It is a militant process in which to implement SOCIALISM by force. I am guessing you are a fan of how things worked out in China?

I think they are failing to emphasize the novel method Ukraine used to attack. Using submersible drones. Ukraine has been trying to build a drone navy.

They simultaneously love and hate communists, socialists, fascists, "the left", "The FAR Left", nationalist, and liberals. While simultaneously seeming to not know what any of those things actually are. They do seem to be steadfast in their unity as far as using America as a scapegoat for all the worlds problems including all of Americas problems as though all of America is a single entity running the world both with ruthless efficiency and complete incompetence at the same time.

I kind of get it though social media boosts confidence in bias beliefs but those bias beliefs are already there people just weren't as loud about them or inclined to act on them like they are now.

Hilariously it wasn't easy finding a source that wasn't bias or factually off.

Sadly he is likely permanently tarnished. It's important to note in this case 3 of the people involved in the event alleged filed suit civilly before the criminal trial even began. That's important because people generally wait for the outcome of a criminal case before suing so that they don't have to reprove facts. This leads me to believe they all knew the allegations were false and were trying to collect before that was shown in court. As far as the Anthony Rapp case went I am unsure what happened there to it was almost immediately dismissed but they were 40 year old allegations. The was another case where a man claimed he was groped by spacey in a bar but they were dropped almost immediately by the DA.

what they pass is useful to them and their donors. They are also less interested in passing bills and rather confirm judges, privatize services, and remove regulatory oversight. The point is making it easier to commit white collar crime.

its a divider issue they don't give a shit they just know they can maintain the religious vote with it while they rob everyone blind. They've also figured out making places not worth living in for progressives will drive them out of their districts.

lol well if you knew your history you would know they tried and failed. The PLA lost at the battle of Guningtou which effectively halted their advance towards Taiwan. Then the Korean War started and completely changed their priorities for years to come. Ever since then it's been a back and forth arms race of Taiwan's ROC maintaining a sufficient military readiness up to around 1980 as to deter China from taking action. Then the US got heavily involved and Taiwan became a center for semi conductor manufacture. It became a critical partner for countries around the world because of this and this bolstered the ROC's access to advanced western military equipment and help from nations dependent on Taiwanese industry also China itself became a major trade partner with Taiwan(bizarre right?). But the new CCP and PLA leadership of today are not like their counterparts of the past. Pooh Bear is a true despot who really wants the one China dream and cares little for the people. He has expressed real interest in aggression regardless of cost and needs a distraction to economic woes. Much like his Slavic counterpart's dream of reuniting the USSR pooh also has the One China bug hence actions taken in Hong Kong. He would have been all to happy to conduct and all out invasion and there was real evidence he planned to do so; However, the Ukrainian response I believe took them by surprise and Taiwan is much better prepared to repel an attack than Ukraine was.
In the national reckoning that followed the police killing of George Floyd three years ago, about 2,000 protesters took to the streets in a St. Louis suburb and urged the mostly white Francis Howell School District to address racial discrimination. The school board responded with a resolution promising to do better. Now the board, led by new conservative board members elected since last year, has revoked that anti-racism resolution and copies of it will be removed from school buildings. The Francis Howell district is among Missouri’s largest, with 17,000 students, about 87% of whom are white. In 2021, the PAC described the anti-racism resolution as “woke activism” and drafted an alternative resolution to oppose “all acts of racial discrimination, including the act of promoting tenets of the racially-divisive Critical Race Theory, labels of white privilege, enforced equity of outcomes, identity politics, intersectionalism, and Marxism.”

Alabama executed a man on Friday for the 2001 beating death of a woman as the state resumed lethal injections after two failed executions prompted the state to conduct an internal review. Before he was put to death, Barber told his family he loved them and apologized to Epps' family. The Supreme Court denied Barber’s request for a stay without comment. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a dissent from the decision that was joined by Justice Elena Kagan and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. ATMORE, Ala. (AP) — Alabama plans to execute an inmate Friday morning for the 2001 beating death of a woman, in what would be the first lethal injection since the state paused executions following a string of problems with inserting the IVs. Barber’s scheduled execution comes hours after Oklahoma executed Jemaine Cannon for stabbing a Tulsa woman to death with a butcher knife in 1995 after his escape from a prison work center.

By MARK KENNEDY (AP Entertainment Writer) Striking screenwriters and actors held rallies in Philadelphia and Chicago on Thursday as the labor dispute that has halted Hollywood spreads to more cities. “We have the same issues,” said Nikki Izanec, president of the Philadelphia SAG-AFTRA local, on her way to Thursday’s rally. “ And we all have a common goal, and that’s to make living wages in an industry that takes advantage of us,” said Izanec. In Los Angeles, strikers outside Netflix studios included Sarah Silverman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Witaske and Kendrick Sampson.
The 8 ounce and 12 ounce children’s Cupkin double-walled stainless steel cups were the subject of a July 20 recall, the company said. “After recently receiving feedback from consumer advocates and additional follow-up testing, we discovered that the double walled vacuum 8oz and 12oz cups may pose an unacceptable exposure to lead if the cup bottoms are mistreated,” the company said in the release. The cups, which are primarily sold on Amazon, have since been removed from the site. “We are going to be as transparent and proactive as possible to resolve this ASAP,” the company said in the release. “ Cups may have been purchased in 12 different color combinations, including blue and green, pink and purple, blue and gray, peach and teal, black and white, coral and yellow, green and pink, polignac and potpourri, brown and peach, rust and salmon, aqua and periwinkle and cobalt and mint, according to the CPSC. Lead poisoning and long-term exposure can cause damage to a child’s brain and nervous system leading to learning, behavioral and speech problems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Washington (AFP) – A mile-thick ice sheet in Greenland vanished around 416,000 years ago during a period of moderate natural warming, driving global sea rise to levels that would spell catastrophe for coastal regions today, a study said Thursday. In a dark room, scientists took interior strips of the ice core and exposed them to blue-green or infrared light, releasing trapped electrons that form a kind of ancient clock that shows the last time they were exposed to sunlight, which erases the luminescence signal. “And the only way to do that at Camp Century is to remove a mile of ice,” said Tammy Rittenour, a co-author of the study at Utah State University. " Plus, to have plants, you have to have light." Coastal cities imperiled The Camp Century core was taken only 800 miles from the North Pole, with the study showing the entire region would have been covered in vegetation.

Lisa Mascaro Associated Press Washington — Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley released an unclassified document Thursday that Republicans claim is significant in their investigation of Hunter Biden as they probe the financial affairs of the president's son and revive previously debunked claims of wrongdoing. “The American people can now read this document for themselves," Grassley said. Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Oversight panel, said after lawmakers reviewed a redacted document in June, “Congress thoroughly reviewed and debunked" similar allegations that Giuliani had made. They said they were unaware of the document. Republicans have denounced the agreement with federal prosecutors as a "sweetheart deal."
