Can you really credit them when they disavow it?
"Don't Blame Heritage for ObamaCare Mandate":
Best thing that can happen is the Heritage Foundation, and all members for the last 25 years, get labeled as domestic terrorists and sent to an El Salvadorian prison.
Their good book still has the eye for an eye clause, let's use it. Thoughts and prayers and such.
Besides, the only way to ensure tolerance is not to tolerate intolerance.
Good
Just months until they apply the Steve Jobs rule to tail numbers.
Lease a new private jet every 3 months and you don't need plates, or tail numbers.
Jesus Tapdancing Christ.
Breaking News: ByteMe on Lemmy leaks that the world's richest man is using hostages and slave labor to fly him around on his private jet.
While previously assumed that the personnel are freely employed, it has been inferred that this is not the case.
We can only be left to send our thoughts and prayers to those family members left behind.
As to the identity of this brave whistleblower, we may never know.
I saw Cat's Eye as a kid, I know where that's really from!
(Damn fine work btw)
I've said it before elsewhere but it needs to be heard...
It's just wild to me continually seeing posts not understanding how this all works, and how it would play out. It's like the people who thought China paid the tariffs...
The house is almost tied. That's who passes bills, handles impeachments, some of the most powerful committees are, and who impeaches Presidents...
218 Republicans, 213 Democrats.
Let's see, take New York for example.
26 representatives total, 19 Democrat and 7 Republican.
5 of those were within 2 points last time their seat was up.
People who think that New York is blue, their vote doesn't matter, skips the votes for the House and Senate and end up losing a Blue house seat but later complain that nothing changes are literally the fucking problem.
Every. Fucking. State. Is. Like. This.
Apathetic morons who don't realize that the president is only held accountable by the other branch of government then wave their hands around when they did jack shit to help put people in place to, are the fucking problem.
District 3 of California was lost by 24,000 votes. District 22 was lost by 3,000.
Those two seats in the house, along with the close ones in New York, Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, hell every state... Are what makes the House of Representatives or breaks it.
So, if you think that your vote for president doesn't matter, so you skip voting and let these other seats slip, yes, you're a fucking moron who can't grasp basic concepts of government that are taught in 4th grade.
And don't get me started on the State House/Senates, how they define voting laws and voting zones and engage in gerrymandering.
Every fucking vote counts.
And until the country realizes it, and starts acting on it, we'll keep getting the shit we deserve.
It's not that they don't care about Ukraine, it's that his handler wants to take Ukraine and Donnie Krasnov is pushing that agenda.
*By El Salvador and put into an El Salvador prison, for trying to visit a political prisoner.
Many have been arrested in the US and abroad over the years for various reasons.
It's meant to deter the "only following orders" Nazi defense.
In theory there should be checks and balances which prevent anything absurdly fascist, it's expected that it would be halted before it happens, but I suspect those who wrote this into the Constitution didn't count on the level of fascism we're seeing now.
We'll see how it works out.
Yah, Japan should be pushing to control the specifics of how a company based in another country. That's the right move. This guy is big brain. Clearly.
So, your argument is Japan should be pushing to control the specifics of how app stores work against a company based in another country, because pushing specifics of how to control kernels on the same devices which actually enforces the closed ecosystems on a company based in another country isn't the right move. Got it.
Cognitive dissonance at its finest.
Yeah, he thinks he's the master artist of the deal, nobody has ever made deals like him. Huge strong men have come up to him, tears in their eyes, saying "Sir! We've never seen a deal made like you made, ever!"
Or some shit.
Ok, the private comments arguing that 24k votes don't matter that's eeeeuge!
California district 3 has ~780,000 people in it. There are more uninsured people in that district than the loss margin.
The 2.5% of the population which is too young to vote and 4-6% which are ineligible for other reasons still leaves more than enough to have changed that election.
Repeat that across 30-60 other districts across the US and now you have enough to impeach the Cheeto flavored fuckwad.
But apathy and laziness is just too fucking easy.
It's just wild to me continually seeing posts not understanding how this all works, and how it would play out. It's like the people who thought China paid the tariffs...
The Constitution doesn't provide a mechanism to recall the President, VP, a Senator or a Representative. Why do people think it's easy to undo fuckwadary?
You can impeach him, but that would take the House and Senate to actually hold him accountable. The House needs to vote to do it.
The house is almost tied. That's who passes bills, handles impeachments, some of the most powerful committees are.

Torn on this one...
On one side, it's arguably a good use and example.
On the other hand this scares the shit out of me if it were applied to things like medical insurance claims, social security or Medicaid, legal or just personal life impacting areas overall.
Ah yes, because unless you're on a government payroll, you're clearly unqualified to point out superficial policymaking. Must be nice to believe that calling out performative regulation is the same as claiming omniscience.
GrapheneOS does primarily run on Pixel phones—because those are the only phones where the hardware allows verifiable, secure boot processes and full control over firmware. Samsung and most others lock down key components and make it impossible to truly sandbox or audit the system at the level GrapheneOS demands. That’s not a limitation of the OS—that’s a limitation of the closed, proprietary design of most Android OEMs.
Which, funnily enough, is exactly the problem.
The Japanese ruling is essentially: “Hey, stop forcing your apps, but keep the same Google-dependent infrastructure, monetization model, and walled-garden app stores.” It's like demanding Coke remove the label from the bottle but still sell it in the same vending machines—still Coke, still their turf.
If they actually wanted to disrupt the monopoly, they’d be mandating real platform openness—allowing non-Google OS installs, pushing for hardware-level access standards, and ensuring devices don’t lock out third-party operating systems or app ecosystems.
But yeah, let’s all clap for another fine and pretend something changed.
Typical Republican.
Every accusation is an admission.
If they're installed correctly... It can be exceptionally difficult to get around them.
They're rarely installed correctly.
U.S. immigration officials are asking the public and federal agencies to comment on a proposal to collect social media handles from people applying to benefits such as green cards or citizenship, to comply with an executive order from President Donald Trump.
Orange Gestapo "Homeland Security" has opened up a 60 day comment period for plans to collect Social Media accounts for anyone with a Visa or Greencard.
Link to provide Homeland Security with feedback is in the article as well as here.
Leave feedback, though I'm highly doubtful it will make any difference.
Affected staff say more than 100 employees working to protect U.S. government networks were ‘axed’ with no prior warning
I'm half expecting representatives from the Russian FSB to be brought in to "consult" on security within Homeland Security...
