verdantbanana , (edited ) in Hawaii governor says Biden could decide within days whether to remain in the presidential race
@verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

as bad as another four years of Biden or Trump would be could you imagine four years of Harris

extra police funding

more restrictive laws

backtracking on current progress such as cannabis

more people locked up

only difference is she would be younger and more in her mind to do so

TransplantedSconie ,

Under Trump:

Never being able to vote again.

Martial law instituted across the country denying people of their First Amendment rights.

The abandonment of our allies.

Loss of the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency

Political assassinations across the board to insure those of the fascist party remain in power.

Loss of civil rights for those not white and rich

End of various government services designed to keep us safe from contaminated food, water, and air

End of various government services for Healthcare, social safety nets, veterans services.

Extra police funding and broad immunity for police violence

Far more restrictive laws

Backtracking of current progress such as cannabis, marriage equality, interracial marriage

Way way more people locked up because republican programs are hated across the board

Massive tax cuts for billionaires and the middle class finally being broken so we slide into a pseudo feudal system

Unions being outlawed because fascists love that shit.

Anyone of a skin color not the shade of pale parchment being rounded up, thrown in camps, or deported.

End of birthright citizens so you as well get to enjoy the concentration camps until they kill you or deport you (eventually they get to outright killing because they are Nazis. It’s what they do)

Did I mention not being able to vote, protest, or voice your opinions without being shot, poisoned, or assassinated?

Yes, but what about letting the perfect be the enemy of the good?!

xmunk ,

What about not compromising so fucking early. There are other establishment candidates that’d be much stronger.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Which ones and do they want to run?

xmunk ,

Buttigieg and Whitmer seem to have wide party support.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Are they willing to run? Because otherwise it doesn’t matter. And I have seen no indication that they are.

Also, Buttigieg used to work for McKinsey and they are fucking evil. I’d rather have either Harris or Biden than that.

Classy ,

As a historic non-D voter who is switching this election, I would enthusiastically take Joe over Buttigieg, considering I’m from a neighboring town to his former mayorship. Pete was very unpopular in South Bend and he’s been very unpopular as Secretary of Transportation. Dude sucks and I actually think senile Biden is a better option.

MyOpinion ,

Trump is a piece of human waste. That he is the top candidate of the GOP says a lot about the abysmal condition America is in.

explodicle ,

Did she ever say that? Anyhow, MAGAts would be so delightfully infuriated.

ctkatz ,

you know that for a fact, or are you just projecting?

prosecutors are charged with proving the city or state or federal government’s case against someone who has been charged with breaking the law. if congress doesn’t provide extra police funding, doesn’t pass more restrictive laws, doesn’t backtrack on current policy, and doesn’t lock more people up for non violent crimes guess what? she’s not going to do that either. i don’t see her going the unitary executive that a republican congress would allow a republican president to be because it sounds like she actually respects the rule of law and separation of powers.

BigMacHole , in Fiery railcars with hazardous material mostly contained after derailment in North Dakota

It’s a GOOD THING we gave our Tax Dollars to these Companies for Stock Buybacks instead of feed STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN!

But giving money to starving children would be communism!

Giving it to corporations is, uh, well, you see, a good thing. Surely.

mysticpickle , in Students Target Teachers in Group TikTok Attack, Shaking Their School

That’s like majorly uncool. Why aren’t these kids be doing cool stuff like swallowing Tide pods or smashing their jawbones with a hammer?

disguy_ovahea , in Secret Meetings, Private Threats and a Massive Arms Race: How the World is Preparing for Trump

Planning additional support for Ukraine is a given. I’m surprised there’s no mention of Taiwan or the Philippines in the article. He’ll definitely be pulling out of the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea to give control to Xi.

Davidvanb , in Head of group responsible for Project 2025 threatens violence if people challenge their "revolution"

You ever see those teeny, tiny baby shrimp? I’m talking the REALLY small ones? They have bigger dicks than that impotent fuck.

GrayBackgroundMusic , in Americans can no longer afford a summer vacation

Yep. Had to cancel ours. Made just enough money to cover some emergencies, nothing left for fun.

Burn_The_Right , in Hawaii governor says Biden could decide within days whether to remain in the presidential race

He could also decide to drop out after the convention, which would bypass a lot of concerns about power struggles and in-fighting.

xmunk ,

Yea, that’d be fucking atrocious.

ctkatz ,

the trump legal team has a plan for that. they are going to sue (the swing) states that do not list biden as the democratic nominee. granted they probably won’t win, but the real point of the suits is to tie all of this up in court past the point where states certify elections throwing the election to the house where the president is voted on by state delegation, not house members and there are more majority republican state delegations than there would be republicans in the house (i’m predicting that the dems win back the house if only by states having redrawn maps. remember: the house that would convene to actually count the ec votes is sworn in on january 2, meaning this house wouldn’t vote on it) and trump gets elected again.

TheReturnOfPEB , in These queer farmers and ranchers are boycotting Tractor Supply and want you to join them

What a moment for the small local agricultural supply stores to get some pub and show their hometown roots over the nameless corporate coprolite that has overtaken an entire nation’s value system.

What local agricultural supply stores? I’m only half joking (I live close to one) but there aren’t a ton left

bcron , in Head of group responsible for Project 2025 threatens violence if people challenge their "revolution"

Ironic that they’re the ones who blessed us with all the stand your ground laws and lax gun control. Bump stocks it is

Bumps stocks are illegal actually

PrincessTardigrade ,

They’re actually legal federally now, tho many states have banned them

What a headline. And then it turns out that’s exactly the right headline. What a world.

Snapz , in GOP Lawmaker Slammed For Calling White House Press Secretary ‘DEI Hire’

First “gop lawmaker” is REALLY a far too generous stretch for a boebert descriptor. “gop participant and known public handjob aficionado” maybe…

Second, the gop always DESPERATELY needs an acronym to funnel their implant hate through - seems clear that the emerging favorite these days is DEI with a hard “R”. Fucking cowards.

enbyecho , in These queer farmers and ranchers are boycotting Tractor Supply and want you to join them

Let me state some basic facts from the perspective of a small farmer. I see here so many odd notions about why TSC’s stance seemingly doesn’t matter much. Too many buy into the stereo type of rural = straight, white, male and that somehow small farms that might tend to shop more at TSC don’t count for much.

  • 89% of all farms in the US are small family farms.
  • 63.5% of young farmers in the US identify as female, nonbinary or a gender other than cis male. 24.2% identify as a sexuality other than heterosexual. Source: www.youngfarmers.org/…/nationalsurveyreport2022/. Story covering that if you don’t want to signup: edgeeffects.net/queer-farmers/
  • One in five Gen Zers identify as LGBT
  • TSC’s customer demographics - you might be surprised to hear - do actually cover a lot of small-scale farms. This report says they average $43k in farm income and are about 441 acres - I acknowledge they are just taking USDA numbers here and extrapolating but this accords with my own experience as a small farmer. A few of us up here prefer to hit the more specialized ag stores in the Central Valley but the TSC is closer and so for a lot of immediate needs we buy there. I’ve even purchased tractor implements at TSC.
  • The stereotype of the rural butch lesbian (hi!) is not without substance. Over 3 million LGBTQIA+ people live in rural areas of the US.

I hope the UAF strictly discipline those who did this. They’ve disgraced their entire country.

Allegedly.

Mr. Grosse’s witness recollection is the only available evidence of the trench killing.

But his accounts of other episodes are bolstered by his contemporaneous notes, video footage and text messages exchanged by members of the unit and reviewed by The Times.

He is confirmed reliable witness for other episodes, so there is good reason to believe him here too.

lennybird ,

What motive would he have to lie about this?

NoIWontPickAName ,

To destabilize support for Ukraine obviously.

lennybird ,
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

While actively volunteering on the front line for Ukraine as a medic…?

How is that obvious?

NoIWontPickAName ,

Scope my history, I already said we need to look into this and maybe withdraw our support.

But you act as if militaries haven’t done shit like this before.

Who better to use as a propaganda outlet than a volunteer medic, surely they have no reason to lie?

lennybird ,
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

Whoa, THAT was fast. Yes, Putin invades sovereign nation, destroy countless cities. Commits Bucha; his forces sledgehammer prisoners; his forces execute a man after he digs his own grave.

You: “I guess we should just withdraw all support.” ???

Talk about BoTh SiDeS false equivalence fallacy, Batman.

NoIWontPickAName ,

Yeah, that’s what I said.

I totally didn’t say we need to look into this and not support people shooting surrendering prisoners.

Be better

lennybird ,
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

You jumped to suggesting withdrawal of support before any substantive investigation could even be concluded on account of this incident in a widespread war… All based on this conspiracy theory that a volunteering German medic fighting for the frontline is intending to… Undermine support for Ukraine? Is that even what HE’S saying!? (Hint: It’s not). That’s all I need to know.

Talk about jumping 20 steps.

NoIWontPickAName ,
MyOpinion ,

This article is designed for one purpose to make Ukraine look bad so that support will weaken. Russia is a walking atrocity in Ukraine.

lol. Brutal.

TheReturnOfPEB , in Airport security missed live ammo in tourists’ hand luggage. The TSA doesn’t know how

TSA is not in a fun position.

They are literally dealing with “The Most Armed Nation … In The World.” /clarkson And that is not often given to them out loud as the reality of their working parameters. Statistically that gives them a magnified margin of error by sheer volume of gun owners in the USA to my mind.

That said I have been terrorized by some TSA operators and patted down in the Denver airport without being asked or given a chance to have privacy by a TSA in the middle of line.

So won’t you at least give the TSA a chance to go fuck themselves ?
