AshMan85 , in After Supreme Court immunity ruling, Biden draws sharp contrast with Trump on obeying rule of law

He needs to take the gloves off. The traitors are literally acting out their plan for a civil war and democrats are waiting there bent over to take it.

xc2215x , in 16-year-old Quincy Wilson now the youngest-ever male US track Olympian

Wow. Good for Quincy.

xc2215x , in Trump Tower is coming to Saudi Arabia | CNN Business

Knowing Trump not a shock.

FlyingSquid , in New Report Argues Private Rail Is a Train Wreck, Public Ownership Needed

Ayn Rand wrote a very silly book about how the government was interfering with railroads and how that was a terrible, terrible thing.

It’s always a good day when something Ayn Rand suggested is once again shown to be utter nonsense.

This is your occasional reminder that the conspiracy nutballs can be on the left sometimes too.

They attacked us 23 years ago and now they’re going to rule us.

France. Also she dropped out.

OldWoodFrame , in Banker Who Slugged Woman at NYC Pride Event Charged With Assault

“Person who assaulted, charged with assault”

Why is this news?

awesome_lowlander ,

“Person who was assaulted, charged with assault”

Personally, I’m wondering why only one side gets charged. Both sides were assholes. Lock them both up.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Because she threw liquid at him and he punched her. Seems like two different levels of severity.

awesome_lowlander ,

Well I’m not advocating for them both to get the same sentencing. He should obviously get a heavier sentence due to severity. I am however not a fan of excusing violence just because I happen to agree with their cause.

How is throwing liquid violence? We aren’t talking about acid or even urine. At least they did not claim such things.

If throwing liquid was violence, every asshole who pissed a woman off on a date would be able to get her charged.

Drink is assault, punch with broken bones is aggravated assault.

First of all, assault and violence are not the same thing.

Secondly, that’s about Arizona law and this happened in New York City.

awesome_lowlander ,

assault and violence are not the same thing.

If you want to get semantic… from the Britannica

violence, an act of physical force that causes or is intended to cause harm. The damage inflicted by violence may be physical, psychological, or both. Violence may be distinguished from aggression, a more general type of hostile behaviour that may be physical, verbal, or passive in nature.

It’s damage to belongings, and psychological.

Secondly, that’s about Arizona law and this happened in New York City.

Are you trying to claim that throwing liquids at somebody you dislike is legal in NY?

I don’t even understand what point you’re trying to get at. Are you claiming it’s fine to just toss random liquids at others? My point is they both broke the law, they both should be impartially judged for it. How and why is that even controversial?

Considering, as you pointed out, the woman wasn’t charged, it sounds like it very well might be.

awesome_lowlander ,

Ok, now you’re the one making extraordinary claims. It’s fairly obvious to anybody who stops to think about it that throwing liquids at others is not legal. That she’s not getting charged is a case of partiality on the side of the AG, and is why I’m bringing it up as an injustice. I don’t care if she’s on my side, assault / violence should be a no-no.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m afraid you’re the one who is making the claims. As I said, it might be legal. You’re the one insisting it isn’t. I’m not a lawyer. You seem to be one. Are you? In New York City? Otherwise maybe there’s a legal reason she wasn’t charged that neither you or I are aware of.

capital , in US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports average hourly wage growth has surpassed inflation for 12 straight months

ITT: I haven’t personally experienced it so this is not true.

I wonder if y’all realize how like conservatives you are sometimes.

AmbiguousProps , in After Supreme Court immunity ruling, Biden draws sharp contrast with Trump on obeying rule of law

Biden literally has the power to do something now, but is instead using this to campaign? Infuriating, we got you in office already, to protect against this exact thing from happening. Stop sitting on your ass and do something if you want the American public to forget the debate.

andrewta ,

Name a specific thing that you want Biden to do to fix this problem.

Mun_Walker ,

Murder political opponents with seal team 6. Lol

andrewta ,

The seal team would call that an illegal order under the ucmj. Hidden couldn’t be prosecuted for giving the order, but the seal team would say no.

girlfreddy ,

Biden could legally hire mercs to do the job and never once get called out on it.

AmbiguousProps ,

Has the ruling not fully sunk in for you yet? He could legally find a way to do anything now. He could make it legal and override the ucmj. The hired guns (SEALs or mercs), in this hypothetical, would not say no. Especially not from the commander in chief with new dictator-level powers.

AshMan85 ,

Yeah a lot people don’t understand how serious this is.

Kbobabob ,

Name a specific thing Biden could do that would be considered illegal now.

AmbiguousProps , (edited )

First off, he’s the one in office, not me. He’s the one we voted to in to fix this and he hasn’t done that. He already campaigned on the fact that we had to prevent a dictatorship in the last election. He’s had four years to figure out what to do. That’s the issue at hand here.

Secondly, he can now legally do anything. So use your creative juices, it’s pretty obvious that he can do something, especially now. Not only was Trump given keys to a dictatorship, Biden was given those same exact keys. It’s time to play hardball.

eran_morad ,

Get Justice to arrest and imprison Thomas and Alito. Nominate 2 liberals to the Court and get Justice to arrest and imprison McConnell et al when they pull their bullshit. Continue until 2 liberals are seated.

I fear that if we don’t start playing by their rules, we will have no more stake in the country.

DigitalNeighbor , (edited ) in New Report Argues Private Rail Is a Train Wreck, Public Ownership Needed

Germany has the same problems. After the reunification they merged the east and west state railway companies into a private enterprise, the Deutsche Bahn AG. Since then, the service progressively became worse and the prices unaffordable.

They engaged in a downward spiral of cutting infrastructure investments and reducing coverage/offer and having less private travellers. Now the infrastructure is such a bad state, that the bad quality of the service is a running gag in Germany. Voyagers now expect their train being late and hope that it will not be cancelled last minute.

In the last couple of years, there has been a push to invested in the infrastructure, but it’s too little too late and it’s going to take decades to make the train an attractive option again.

One of the reason why they are still getting by financially, is because the have very good marketing.

Here’s a good video about it. It’s in German, but you can get the English auto-translation.

ChihuahuaOfDoom , in What Trump's VP pick could mean for 2028

Didn’t he say he was going to announce his vp at the debate?

AI_toothbrush , in Lawsuit accuses Iran, Syria and North Korea of providing support for Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel

They should also sue israel because i doubt they didnt help them get in. Basically most protected country in the whole world and some fuckers “accidentally” slip-in.

PugJesus , in Conspiracy Theorists Think Biden Was Hit With Directed-Energy Weapons During Debate

Wow, and here I thought he was an old guy with a stutter getting flustered while a fascist fuckwad spewed inane garbage.

you know how gaudy most trump towers are?
