Huh I’ve been saying this for years. Even commented it a while back on lemmy. hope they can get it through but don’t have super high hopes unless the next couple of election cycles lean heavily towards the Democrats.
It has nothing to do with election cycles, it must be bipartisan because it’s a constitutional amendment that requires ratification. You need one election cycle to pass it in the house and Senate than a long political slog to get it ratified.
Well it has something to do with election cycles cause Republicans will block this every way they can. So the only way for it to even have a shot is for Democrats to take both the House and Senate with a 2/3 majority to be able to make a constitutional amendments. I sincerely doubt that would happen. After that it would take a very long political slog to ratification. Which again, I don’t have high hopes for it to get through the States.
Election cycles are how people get elected, so it has a lot to do with election cycle leaning very heavily towards the Democrats for it to not be DOA. Then it has a long uphill battle to get it ratified by the states. To say that it has a slim chance of going anywhere is really overstating the chances of it happening.
To be fair they went to confront him and he pointed his gun at their head. Since those who went to confront weren’t armed, they retreated and sounded an alert, but the dude shot towards diaper don before anyone could do anything about it.
I really don’t get this tactic. I mean even ignoring the obvious that we shouldn’t downplay his literal dangers to our entire society which this kind of language seems to do, I don’t like it cuz weird isn’t even bad to me. I like weird. I’m weird. That’s not going to have the effect they think it is. They don’t need to say he’s weird. They need to say he’s a deranged lunatic who wants to destroy your country and put the lives of the people you love in danger. Cuz that’s the reality.
It’s more effective because it’s lower stakes. Voters are sick of hearing about the end of democracy and most just treat it like hyperbole one side is throwing at the other. Meanwhile, othering is a time-tested and results-proven tactic. It’s more relatable and it makes voting for the ticket provoke a common, undesirable, visceral feel.
It reminds me of Clinton’s “deplorables” comment in that it just came off as cringy and didn’t really gain any traction. Trump is an expert level shit talker so you gotta bring your A game. I think they should take from his own playbook and keep harping on about how old he is and how nonsensical his statements are.
Lazy cops being lazy cops. Politically I don’t think there is any world where Trump is a net positive, even if you’re an accelerationist. However, if you’re a cop, you’re supposedly a steward of public safety. Any interdiction before that kid grabbed his backpack could’ve saved lives. Including the shooter’s if there had been any de-escalation success.
Seems like the accountants all across the drive through world have forgotten that the reason cheap food was so popular is that it was CHEAP food.
Ironically even though their main menu items and combos have gone crazy price-wise in the last couple years, McDonald’s is one of the few fast food places I still frequent for lunch because if you use the app you can still get a decently filling meal for 6-7 bucks; 2 double cheeseburgers BOGO $1, large fry (free), large drink at regular price. Not great, but 6 something bucks. The quarter pounder combo meal I used to get has nearly tripled in price in the last 5 years and the Big Mac is not only smaller but way more expensive…

So I’m guessing that no one from a foreign government has even tried to take out presidential candidates? Because this kid got extremely close all while openly researching past assassinations, scoped out the rally site before the secret service, flew his drone and even got spotted multiple times. I could only imagine how easy it would be for real professional killers funded by a government.
I like to think that there's been a regular effort to stay ahead of those who might try things, and often they get thwarted early on and we just don't hear about it. Because if that's not what's been happening for years, and things that do happen are only because of mistakes or blatant removal of the efforts (looking at you, Cheney)...then no one except the few historically acts has bothered to try anything, and that seems really unlikely given how much the rest of the world "loves" us so much.
Hardly a fan of Trump, but he is a former President and due the protection that apparently was not fully engaged. Why it wasn't in place needs to be discovered and fixed. For all sides, this isn't partisan, this is basic security. And if this is broke, what else is?
