Isn’t George Colony like super fucking liberal and an activist?

Not saying that in a negative way I mean wouldn’t he actually be the last person to blame?

Didn’t you know, it’s actually the people critical of a corrupted system that are to blame for said system’s utter failures

Not if you’re a conservative

Why not blame the Democrat Party? They have refused to entertain the idea that no one really wanted Biden to run again until now, with hardly anytime to get people on board with anyone else. They have done barely fuck-all to get people interested in voting for them no matter who the candidate was as well.

discusseded ,

Pfft, your depth of insight could be scratched off with a fingernail.

It’s every person and institution that shielded the voters from the reality of Biden’s mental decline who should be blamed. These enablers ought to be charged with crimes against the US for election interference.

We could have had a real primary and let voters decide, now we’re stuck with a convention nomination process that’s out of our hands.

Fuck the DNC.

k1nk33 ,

Or, ye know, blame those actually responsible - the DNC (for the past 40 years).

Sumocat , in MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden
@Sumocat@lemmy.world avatar

They should be mad. Biden stands down with a perfect 1-0 record of defeating Trump with no chance of rematch.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda , in MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden

Trump added that he thought the GOP should be “reimbursed for fraud.”

Trump raises an excellent point: his campaign was forced to waste money against Biden for as long as it did only for the Democrats to pull the rug out from under him by pulling Joe out of the race. This, if anything, is a form of cheating.

AH HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

rickyrigatoni , in Missouri woman who served 43 years in prison freed after murder conviction overturned

She spent her entire adult life in prison. How do you even come back from that.

@BlackLaZoR@kbin.run avatar

You don't. Where are you going to work? What can you put on your CV? What work experience do you have? On top of that your ability to learn is a far cry of what you had in your 20s. If you have no family who'll take care of you, your future is utterly fucked. You're destined to live in powerty untill the end of your life.

0x0 ,

On the other hand you might have a pretty good lawsuit against the state. Some states (all?) have laws defining maximum damages, so it might not be an amazing payout.

BlackLaZoR ,
@BlackLaZoR@kbin.run avatar

It won't fix the lost 40 years of her life tho

kamenlady ,
@kamenlady@lemmy.world avatar

I didn’t think you really could. From now on, everything will be a new experience. All things and persons she knew, have changed.

All things and persons she knows, are still in prison.

You have the very positive fact, that you were proven innocent and that you are out of prison.

But, she shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

Btw, is she getting a fair amount of money for this or will this be like: Shit happens, sorry ma’am?

aberrate_junior_beatnik ,

She should be bankrolled by the state for the grievous harm it did to her, but she’ll probably get nothing.

Nougat ,

Hear me out.

Companies sell life insurance. Actuaries determine how much a policy costs. They can also determine what is most likely to have been a person's lifetime earnings based on a variety of metrics about that person.

An actuary should be able to look at who Sandra Hemme was at 20 years old, and make a determination of what her lifetime earnings would have been if she had not gone to prison. The State should pay her that amount.

OopsAllTwix ,

Then multiply that figure by 10 or more. The state should be punished for that mistake and not want to make similar mistakes again.

Nougat ,

Oh sure. "That amount" would be the compensatory part. The punitive part would be an entirely other thing.

saltesc , in MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden

That’s like losing a $1,000 bet on the Lakers and trying to sue them or something.

TheDemonBuer , in MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden
@TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world avatar

The fact that they’re so mad about this makes me think that Biden was a much weaker incumbent than I realized, and that the choice to replace him was the right one.

magic_lobster_party ,

And maybe withdrawing so late might not be as bad after all. Sure, it’s going to be tough for dems to rework their campaign, but it’s going to be tough for reps as well when their campaign revolved around Biden.

MagicShel ,

I went hard for Biden because I was genuinely worried there would be chaos in finding a new candidate that would make it impossible to sort it out and run an effective campaign in the time left. It looks like I was wrong and I’m so fucking happy about that.

Harris is the right candidate - part of the same administration, so she can run on the same record which is pretty damn solid. I’m excited for the future.

ICastFist , in MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

So, what you’re telling me is that by finally conceding to giving up on reelection, Biden achieved one hell of a victory against the whiny orange?

🥂

Here’s to hoping you 'muricans don’t fuck this chance.

JoshuaFalken , in Missouri woman who served 43 years in prison freed after murder conviction overturned

The PAC that got this AG elected must have a loose definition of ‘crooked’.

From their site:

Join our dedicated community of Christ-followers who have committed to championing our God-given liberties, taking a stand for biblical justice, and paving the way for a brighter future. Together, we strive for reformation in our government and seek to make the crooked paths straight for our generation.

Ghyste ,

Of course it’s “christian”…

whoisearth , in Historically Black frat Alpha Phi Alpha moves to ban trans members
@whoisearth@lemmy.ca avatar

I’ve been saying this for a while. Once the racist white underbelly realizes they have a useful idiot in bigoted immigrants and religious zealots by synergizing their hatred we are fucked.

Varinder from India may not hate other races like John from Mississippi but what they both agree on is there’s only 2 genders and gay people shouldn’t be allowed to marry.

Makhno ,

Varinder from India may not hate other races like John from Mississippi

Varinder probably hates other Indians that are a shade darker than himself lol

nondescripthandle ,

And possibly Chinese and Pakistani people. Hate knows no single home. It’s laid it roots in many people in many places.

I guess if only they spent more endorsing their own agenda instead of smearing it wouldnt matter right? 🤷‍♂️

imposedsensation , in Federal judge blocks Castle Rock from using code to stop church from providing temporary shelter to unhoused

Ridiculous. Churches pay no tax and act like they are above the law. This needs to change.

meyotch ,

I’m in agreement that churches need scrutiny, a lot more. But here is a church standing up for actual, biblically authorized Christian activity?

Josey_Wales ,
@Josey_Wales@lemmy.world avatar

How is this church acting like it is above the law in this specific instance?

It used the legal system to get a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of town land use code. Seems like it followed the law and the process is playing out as intended.

ealoe ,

This church is trying to provide houses for homeless people. Christianity started out being pretty unpopular with the law but that hasn’t stopped them because laws don’t define morality. I suppose if you don’t want the church housing the homeless you can always invite them to your house.

blackbelt352 ,

This is one of the few instances I’m in favor of a church breaking the law. That law is unjust anyway and Jesus in the new testament consistently preaches that we should care for the sick, the needy and the homeless.

Raiderkev , in Donald Trump says he 'took a bullet for democracy'

The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger. I took a bullet for democracy.

mlg , in Kamala Harris Launches Presidential Bid: ‘My Intention Is to Earn and Win This Nomination’
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

I’m pretty sure the DNC and it’s donors helped force this hand, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they field a different candidate.

That being said, I’d actually like to see a non shill run who will actually fulfill his promises with legislation and not half ass executive orders that die after 5 seconds.

They’ll never let Bernie in, but like cmon choose at least someone who can agree genocide is not good. Can’t believe we’re still scraping the bottom of the barrel for requirements here.

Wes4Humanity ,

Kamala/AOC ticket could win it I think

jj4211 ,

I think they’ll err on the side of appeasing people who are on some level uncomfortable with minorities and women and run some generic straight white man.

nomous ,

Really? I don’t think AOC has a chance in hell among the voting public.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

After all the shit they gave Biden about his age, do you think Bernie, who’s even older, would be a good idea?
