player2 , in Secret Service notified as Alex Jones hosts show with 'assassinate Biden' in title

The full title of the livestream was, “Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden If He Refuses To Leave?”

clearedtoland ,

<squidword-packing-up.jpg> yup! Funny how the story only reveals that at the very end.

Fuck this badly written article for making me want to defend Alex Jones

GasMeterCrasher ,

This will feed into his narrative that people take his words out of context. It’s playing his game. He constantly claims to be attacked and plays up the victim/martyr card to gain sympathy just so he can sell more supplements.

Catoblepas , in Federal appeals court rules cops who handcuffed 10-year-old girl for drawing offensive picture must face excessive force lawsuit

I can’t imagine what kind of fucking freaks would cuff a 10 year old child over a drawing. I hope her lawyer cleans them out.

Edit:

Taylor said in filings that officers arrived at the school and interrogated her daughter without her present. Per the complaint, N.B. commented to a school nurse that she “wondered what spending one day in jail would be like.” According to the complaint, officers became upset by the comment and responded by handcuffing and arresting N.B.

Of course it was over (perceived) contempt of cop and not the drawing. Should have seen it coming.

BossDj ,

My bias is with education. Given that, please know that we only get one side of the story in this article. If they literally called the police and cuffed a ten year old for drawing a picture on the previous day, this is the most insane story I’ve ever heard.

But there was likely some shit that went down when she was called into the office that escalated and escalated, because escalating for a NOW solution that fits in a box is all some people know how to do. And then police are called. We’re all too busy, so it’s STOP AND COMPLY OR ELSE because every other solution takes time.

Keep going back to the roots and you find a bullied ADHD kid who is getting in trouble instead of the kid bullying her all while she was practicing self control strategies. She’s obviously going to escalate. And she was then likely already escalated when police arrived. And shit, we need to stop and figure out why this bully situation even exists.

More money to education. More people. The end

SuperCub , in A Black man got a job interview after he changed the name on his resume. Now, he’s suing for discrimination | CNN

There is clearly a LOT of discrimination that happens in the hiring process and basically no oversight or accountability. How else can workers fight discrimination like this without going to the lengths that this man did?

Aux ,

Which lengths? Legal protections mean that you must take the offender to court.

eldavi ,

How else can workers fight discrimination like this without going to the lengths that this man did?

and these lengths aren’t enough; i’ve been doing the same thing that this guy has done for nearly 20 years now and i’ve spoken with 3 lawyers who advertised working on contingent and the common thread is that one instance is not sufficient enough proof in court; you would have to submit at least dozens to hundred over a period of years to prove anything.

the best anyone can do is compile a list of companies to avoid or not spent much bother when it comes to applying and, given my experience, i hope that this guy isn’t paying for it upfront like the lawyers i’ve spoken with wanted from me.

MiDaBa , in Secret Service notified as Alex Jones hosts show with 'assassinate Biden' in title

Ya know he may be working angle here. His whole life is over and he knows it. I’ll bet he figures if he goes crazy all in on Trump that maybe he could land some political support in getting his conviction overturned if Trump wins the election. Considering his current situation its probably the only chance he has.

treadful , in Tourists still flock to Death Valley amid searing US heat wave blamed for several deaths
@treadful@lemmy.zip avatar

“Besides not being able to cool down while riding due to high ambient air temperatures, experiencing Death Valley by motorcycle when it is this hot is further challenged by the necessary heavy safety gear worn to reduce injuries during an accident,” the park statement said.

This is backward. All that equipment protects you from the air. Riding in shit like a T-shirt will dehydrate you by pulling moisture off your skin, as well as heat you up faster just by way of 120F+ air rushing over your body.

I imagine that would be a pretty challenging ride. I’d probably want a hydration pack and a cooling system.

nutsack , in Trump's Project 2025 is now being searched in Google more than Taylor Swift and the NFL

I still don’t know if the attention on this is a good or a bad thing

some_guy ,

I suspect it’s a good thing. Conservatives don’t search for things that discredit their views. And I doubt their media is playing this up as anything that deserves attention. It’s probably mentioned as a thing to be ignored. I have no factual basis for my suspicions. I could be completely wrong.

nutsack ,

my conservative friends and family from the garbage can i grew up in very much like this sort of thing, and probably see it as a justification to vote for sexual dingus trump.

im hoping it will force more democrat voters to go outside.

undergroundoverground ,

Conservatives don’t search for things that discredit their view.

I think you’re right here but I think we can all be very much like that. Using trump and conservatives as a reference to what we all do, no one Googles “is trump bad.” No, we already know the answer to what we think about that. Instead, we google something like “trump is the best” which (along with our personalised algorithm, designed to tell us what we want to hear so we keep engaged) tells us all about how trump is the best.

I think one thing that might help anyone who wants to de-program trumpers, along with the parts that are their own fault, they genuinely are victims of the algorithm they’re trapped in. I mean, we all are but right wingers, being right wingers, rarely have the self awareness needed to adjust for it. Theyre amongst the groups most disenfranchised and exploited by these things. It doesn’t absolve them of blame but, imo, its more complicated than a lot of people make out.

todd_bonzalez ,

we google something like “trump is the best” which (along with our personalised algorithm, designed to tell us what we want to hear so we keep engaged) tells us all about how trump is the best.

Nobody googles anything like that, and googling “is x good/bad?” Isn’t really how you use Google unless you’re researching products or something. This is a lazy attempt at an example.

It seems to me that, if we’re using web searches as an indicator, that those on the left have no problem earnestly researching the answers to questions like “Is transgender healthcare harmful to children?”, or “what are the pros and cons of privatizing x?”, where some of the answers might not perfectly validate our existing worldview, but we still walk away with a nuanced opinion based on what we learned.

Conservatives on the other hand would never even consider asking questions like “are they cutting little boys dicks off because they like the color pink?” or “are half of all murders really committed by Black people?”, they will just believe it in their heart of hearts because they saw memes about it on Truth Social.

In fact, if they did muster the willpower to type such a query into Google, every single article that doesn’t validate them would be declared some sort of leftist hoax, and Google would be blamed as another woke tech company deliberately serving content that challenges a right wing view.

These people are completely brainwashed, and it is no surprise that they heavily trend Christian, since Christianity as an ethos demands that you be able to resist asking questions critical of God, as certain questions are an insult to God. It’s rather trivial to exploit this vulnerability in critical thinking, which is why so many Conservatives seem to have no line between their religious beliefs and their political beliefs, and both sets of beliefs end up being completely fucking unhinged and filled to the brim with magical thinking.

undergroundoverground ,

I love how you declared my example to be lazy, only to then make, essentially, the same example again. Dont get me wrong, I’m not saying that I disagree with me.

todd_bonzalez ,

Yeah, I called you lazy and then said what you attempted to say with better clarity and verbosity.

undergroundoverground ,

I said it just fine. The problem is you lack of self awareness and poor social skills.

Good thing. Despite how it sometimes feels, most Americans aren’t hateful pieces of shit and don’t support this crap. It’s just hard to get them to go out and vote.

Of course not. Nobody thinks they’re the bad guy. It takes an outside perspective to know.

it would be a lot easier if the dnc didn’t suppress popular candidates in favor of candidates with decades long histories of conservative bona fides.

grue , in Secret Service notified as Alex Jones hosts show with 'assassinate Biden' in title

Ironically, Biden assassinating him would be cool and legal according to SCOTUS.

luciferofastora ,

Only if the SCOTUS decides it’s official presidential business tho

grue ,

Yeah, and the current traitor majority would make up whatever bullshit to not do that, regardless of how tight a corner they’ve tried to paint themselves into with the decision.

But Biden could just assassinate them, too. And then there’d be nobody left to object.

FilthyShrooms ,

Not really, controlling the military is very explicitly an “official act” as stated in the verdict. Biden could literally seal team 6 him with no legal consequences

grue ,

The other recent catastrophic decision, the one overturning Chevron deference, flushed stare decisis right down the shitter.

When I say they “make up whatever bullshit,” I mean they really make up whatever bullshit!

samus12345 , (edited )
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

At this point they might as well just say, “Any Republican president who toes the party line is immune from prosecution because we say so. Yeah, we’re blatantly partisan, what are you gonna do about it? We’re appointed for life, and you’ll never have enough Democrats in Congress to impeach us. LOL!”

I’d still hate them, but I’d also appreciate the honesty.

lanolinoil ,
@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

No, it just has to be within the duties of the president – official business – How could POTUS doing a military order not be official business ? Whose business would that be other than the leader of the military?

luciferofastora ,

Yeah, but if he does it and gets charged for this abuse of power, it will probably be tried before the Supreme Court, meaning they’ll get to ratify whether it actually was official business.

Revan343 ,

That can be easily solved by first assassinating any members of SCOTUS who would rule the assassinations to not be official business

pyre ,

🤓umm, excuse me, the SCOTUS rule doesn’t make things legal; they stay illegal, but the POTUS will not be held accountable for them.

isn’t that SO MUCH better‽

There is no description of a cop dying that will ever illicit pity from me. Just imagine all of the innocent young minority/at risk men who died of sweltering heat exhaustion in the back of a cop van.

These deaths were earned. And they weren’t nearly enough.

Oh it is a democracy, but not “direct democracy”. We don’t choose what happens, we just choose who decides what happens.

Those in power bribe, threaten, and lie, and we can’t do shit about it because the actual hood guys end due to harassment or threats and can’t deal with it psychologically.

derpgon ,

Either way, society is fucked until we got nothing left but to revolt - but that will never happen, as the carrot is being dangled all the time.

phoenixz ,

A democracy where people vote directly on each issue isn’t practical and would likely backfire. You want to vote for people to temporarily represent you.

Having said that, the way the US does democracy and has been doing it for, say, the last century, is beyond my comprehension and just plain retarded. Especially since Reagan already, the elections are more about show than content, and all presidents since Reagan (that devil included) have been … Well, just dumb showmen, Obama excluded, perhaps.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

I think more than a few “patriots” feel the need to point out that we’re a republic, not a democracy.

“Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prosperity are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.”

Because the idea that people should get a say is ridiculous.

It’s figuring out how to maintain dominance with a minority of support. And so, in that sense, I think the rhetoric is really telling. It’s a way of rationalizing the further entrenchment of minority rule.

“Too much democracy” interferes with their plans.

TheKingBombOmbKiller ,

What are you talking about? The people electing representatives that makes the final decisions is called “representative democracy”. A republic is a form of representative democracy. A constitutional monarchy, like you find a lot of in Europe, is another form of representative democracy that fit the original description, without being republics.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

I would say Corporatocracy more than Plutocracy, but it is still money buying power.

sparkle , (edited )

It’s a Republican Democracy… a Democratic Federal Republic… whatever you want to call it, point is it’s both a Republic and a Democracy. They’re not mutually exclusive categories. In fact, most categories you can use to describe the structure/type of a government aren’t very exclusive categories. Governments are very complex and can be a lot of different things, so we have a lot of different terms (and different usages of those terms) to narrow a description down.
