What the fuck did I just read. She called the cops, they insist on getting in after she thanks them, and she gets headshot because she has water boiling in her house. What the actual fuck is going on in the US?
well he’s gonna say they’re fixing the country so good that you won’t feel like you have to vote again or something. this has long been their usual thing, called implausible deniability. it only works if everyone else is dumb. unfortunately for them, they’re the dumb ones thinking they’re clever with these.
Can you really not come up with any other explanation? I agree that this is fucking incredibly troubling, and I will assume the worst about this guy based on his past handling of the presidency, but it’s shocking to me that people think he outright said he would end democracy and there is no ambiguity here.
Like easily I could strain and say “well, he’s saying that he is going to make things so good that everyone is going to vote for him, so the Christians no longer will need to.” Or “I don’t care in 4 years because I won’t be able to run.”
Next she will be “Far Left Radical” I’ll bet. The GOP is out of ideas and repeating themselves. 2016 was full of broken promises. This is a rerun of 2020 and they will lose
I know this isn’t the way to solve these kinds of issues, but I belive that if you take someone’s life without reason (like this poor woman), you deserve your life to be taken too.
Officers and people in charge of maintaining law and order should be trusted, someone you can depend on to save or help you, but these cops are exactly the opposite. I can’t imagine how it’s like living in a country with such a broken system that every day is a guessing game if you’re going to get shot by the very people who are in charge to look at every issue and problem as objectively as possible, just because you looked at someone weirdly.
The idea of a fetus being perfectly capable of sustaining itself outside the womb at 24 weeks is laughable at best. In developed countries, the chances are like 45-60% and in developing countries as low as 10%. The extraordinary measures required to sustain them at this stage of life are everything from CPAP/Ventilation, intravenous feeding, to temperature regulation through incubators. Without these, even in the best equipped hospitals, survival is a significant challenge. In low resource settings, where such interventions are sparse or non-existent, the chances of survival plummet drastically. In a developed nation like the USA, one also has to consider the vast amount of financial resources required to accomplish this task, which again, speaks to the amount of care these extreme right radicals extend to post birth vs pre-birth.
24 weeks is arbitrary at best and deceptive and emotionally manipulative at their worst.
This decision is best left to the mother and her doctor or doctors.
I thought the idea using 24 weeks as the line was that at 24 weeks the fetus may be able to survive outside the mother, even if the chance is low, but before 24 weeks the chance of survival is negligible.
In our defense, it wasn’t always this way. I think it was around the 80’s that everything took a turn for the worse and financial profit became more important than anything else.
Had to translate from Spanish but to be honest I don’t know enough about current politics in Columbia to comment, or the reliability of this news site, but thanks for posting this article
Well, you do know the reliability because I just told you it’s the paper of record in Colombia, and that’s easy enough to verify with a quick web search. Colombia has a leftist government, and the people generally express a strong kinship with Venezuela.
The article is about the dozens of arbitrary arrests and election persecution cases alleged since this morning.
Comrade, you're posting this link to every story about this, but ever since Chavez the elections have been rigged. Sometimes socialists think their agenda is so important that no one else should be able to come to power.
Under the new system, the retirement component can never be touched or spent until you retire.
Withdrawals are not allowed until retirement age. This is intended to ensure that individuals will have sufficient funds to support themselves in retirement and, in turn, will give the South African economy a more stable and growing pool of savings to fund economic growth, and employment.
So basically they are holding the money in the retirement system hostage and are planning to give tax cuts to the wealthy - wonder what else is “funding economic growth and employment” is, because it always turns out that way.
Cue the govt 20 years later when they “have to raise the retirement age since the system is unsustainable”.
