maxinstuff , in Embattled Bob Menendez tells allies he'll resign: report
@maxinstuff@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know much about this person, but I do know the media code-word “embattled” is only used when you’re circling the drain.

xc2215x , in Lou Dobbs, veteran cable news anchor and Trump booster, dies at 78

Wow. Wasn’t expecting this so soon.

Zaktor ,

A spry 78 year old!

xc2215x , in 'Very aggressive' homeless camp crackdown coming in August, mayor says

Not sure about this.

xc2215x , in Donald Trump offers supporters $299 assassination attempt-themed sneakers

Trump knows he can make money.

i’d be more shocked if a government agency (outside the DOD) managed NOT to leak my data.

NobodyElse ,

No need to qualify that statement.

Your postal address is displayed right there at the top of the page when you’re signed in and looking at the “dashboard,” so it’s readily available bold as brass for anyone to scrape. The real question is, why was third party code even allowed to be served with that page? What possible benefit could it serve the user to have Meta and LinkedIn tracking pixels on their postal mail dashboard?

That was a rhetorical question. The answer is money, and how much of it those social media/tech companies were paying the Postal Service to allow them to do it – end user be damned. The notion that the USPS was “unaware” of this reeks so bad that you could smell it from space.

The Bell Riots are on schedule for September, I see.

catloaf , in Veteran who lost driver's license because TN said he wasn't a U.S. citizen gets welcome news from the state

Not all Tennessee driver licenses are REAL IDs, which is what Mr. O’Connor initially applied for. A REAL ID is a federally compliant license, and a combination of federal and state laws govern acceptable proof of citizenship to obtain a REAL ID. The documents that Mr. O’Connor has provided to date do not satisfy the proof required to issue him a REAL ID.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I said when the story first came out. The REAL ID requires extra proof. If he had applied for a regular license, they would have issued it no problem. If he doesn’t have the necessary documents to prove citizenship (certificate of birth abroad or whatever) then apply for that too.

MyOpinion , in 'We're close to the end': Biden world braces for the possibility that the president steps aside

I really hope Harris can beat Trump.

anon_8675309 ,

She can’t.

Whitmer maybe could. If she has a strong running mate.

Harris just isnt a good candidate.

kibiz0r ,

Oh no you don’t. We’ve got Whitmer until the end of 2026. You can have her then and not a second sooner.

If SCOTUS keeps on this retro “states rights” bender, we’re just gonna make our own country. With blackjack. And great lakes.

The only thing Whitmer is good at is destroying state economies, and killing small businesses.

Grimy ,

As much as I hate it, I think there too much subconscious misogyny to try it. It’s a recipe for failure.

FenrirIII ,
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

And racism. Can’t forget the racism!

torsday ,

Though racism is a factor, that doesn’t mean she isn’t also a bad candidate.

ikidd ,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

I think that would work for her. There’s way more minorities and centrists that would come out to vote for her because of Obama’s legacy than racists that would stay home out of spite IMO. I certainly don’t think she’ll be anything like Obama, but one could hope.

TreeGhost ,

Aren’t all of the misogynists already voting for Trump? I think just being a younger woman candidate could energize the younger voting base.

radivojevic ,

Yeah it will energize, and they’ll be really confused on voting day when they find out they needed to register to vote.

I think voting should be mandatory, easier, and have an abstain option for those people who don’t want to choose.

Grimy ,

I’m afraid a lot of older Dems just wouldn’t vote, it’s a low turnout that could be killer.

I don’t know if she really resonated with the younger voters that much, not like AOC for instance.

NevermindNoMind ,

Probably not, she’s got the charisma of Hillary, and two strikes (race and gender) against her. But Biden is dragging the rest of the party down with him. With Harris we probably get a Trump presidency (we have at least a fighting chance to avoid it). But with Biden we get a Trump presidency, a landslide election giving him a “mandate” and assuredly a Republican House and Senate to go along with it. Sooo worth a shot with the old switcharoo I guess.

halferect ,

I think she can if she chooses a progressive vp

FlyingSquid , in Lou Dobbs, veteran cable news anchor and Trump booster, dies at 78
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

At least some good news made up for the loss of Bob Newhart.

Nastybutler ,

I don’t like this trade. But I would trade Mel Brooks for Orange Julius Caesar

Cleverdawny , in USPS shared customer postal addresses with Meta, LinkedIn and Snap

USPS sells this information for mail advertising. If you don’t want to be included in that, you can opt out via USPS.

Fill out Form 1500 and drop it by a post office to be removed from ad lists. It’s free.

CobblerScholar ,

And they wouldn’t have to sell ad space if they actually got funding

MelodiousFunk ,

A kneecap here, a hobbling there… well USPS, you ain’t lookin so hot. Might need to cut your funding. Again.

Why the fuck is DeJoy still there again???

swampdownloader ,

Form 1500 is involving unwanted sexually oriented mail. How does it stop spam? You have to provide specific mailings you want to stop.

MyOpinion , in Joe Biden reportedly more open to calls for him to step aside as candidate

Kamala Harris - Michelle Obama 2024

Yes, I’m aware of the irony.

Mrs. Obama has made it very clear that she I’d not interested in the White House.

beebarfbadger , in Minnesota ban on 18- to 20-year-olds obtaining handgun permits is unconstitutional, federal appeals court says

From now on, whether or not you are allowed to buy a gun will depend on which groups you check as possible victims for your killing spree.

TheReturnOfPEB , in Sniper took picture of Trump rally shooter, saw him use rangefinder before assassination attempt, source says

Being US president is like one of the most dangerous professions in the world. And that is the example of the level of expertise the US has in protecting one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
