What he wants is the focus on “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” as used in the 14th amendment. He isn’t after birthright citizenship. He wants formal recognition that certain people are not owed constitutional protections.
Immediately, he wants “immigrants” to be in the same category as “enemy combatants”, whose rights and privileges are defined by international treaty, rather than recognized by the constitution.
Jon Stewart, 2028.
The problem with Reagan and Trump isn’t that they were actors. The problem is that they were complete pieces of shit long before they were elected.
Actor-presidents have demonstrated a natural propensity for revolutionary disruption of entrenched attitudes. Reagan completely fucked over economic policy; Trump is completely fucking over the fundamental concept of democracy.
Imagine that same degree of revolutionary disruption moving us toward egalitarianism rather than corpo-fascism.
Lawmakers should be pilloried.
The crank stations? Or their users?
My old PC locks up every 4 to 48 hours. It would make a terrible NAS.
Your own fault for living west of your workplace.
Not if those distracting screens were prohibited.
That could have been the mandate. They could have mandated that be the only allowable screen. It shows what’s behind you, and that’s it. No distractions tolerated. No pop-up logos or other advertising. No driving controls on that screen. Touch screen disabled while in motion, with all essential functions actuated by physical controls.
But they didn’t. They mandated a rearview and monitor, but didn’t restrict its use. And that failure has probably caused more injuries and deaths than it has prevented.
Unless they only permitted that screen to show a rear view. They could have prohibited any other use, or prohibited non-tactile controls that required ocular attention while driving. They could have required that touchscreen controls be disabled while driving. But they didn’t.
They mandated the distracting screen, and probably killed more people than they saved.
They also put a distracting video monitor in front of the driver 100% of the time, not just the 0.2% while backing. Manufacturers have moved a lot of controls to that screen, rather than leaving them on tactile buttons and switches that could be operated without taking eyes off the road.
How many collisions have been caused by distractions from the these screens?
With a backup camera comes a video screen necessarily in view of the driver, contributing to distracted driving at all times the vehicle is not in reverse. How many kids have been killed because of such distractions?
Fight club?
Wake me up when we get to #GuillotineParty.
Billionaire Burgers?
Shareholder Shortribs?
Capitalist Casserole?
These “useless bloodsuckers” aren’t the problem. The “problem class” is everyone with a 7-figure income.
lemmy tells me to go fuck myself.
Well, get on with it.
He’s fitter and smarter than Donald, but neither LeBron nor Leonardo.
The kidnappers mutated him?!?

Look, you don’t need a JAG officer on standby to know you’re not supposed to open up on a crowd of fuckin kids.
Agreed, but the order is not always so clearly unlawful. You pretty much do need a lawyer on standby to challenge violations of Posse Comitatus. It is the servicemember’s duty to refuse to conduct domestic law enforcement activities like deportation, for example, but they can be required to support those same activities in other ways.
Massive property tax increase. Owner-occupants are exempted from that tax.
As soon as a bank initiates foreclosure proceedings, they owe the full, non-exempt tax rate. That stick gives them a strong incentive to work with their borrower.
Uh huh.
