bashing on Harris and pushing false equivalence

You claim the Ds and Rs are the same, but you can very clearly see that the Ds are in favor of 10% less infanticide.

That’s the only two choices we have

The genocidiers have us by the balls, folks. Nothing you can do but voice your full throated support for one of them.

UN votes against Israel’s occupation of Palestine: Will it change anything?

Seems like the rest of the international community is moving on this whether or not the US leadership approves of it.

Barking up the “Who will you vote for?” tree, when neither American candidate for President has expressed an interest in ending the holocaust in Gaza or prosecuting the litany of war crimes in surrounding Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan, seems pointless.

If anything “Vote for Kamala because hey remember that genocide we’re financing via Israel?” seems like its going to scare away more voters than it attracts.

Says you. I, personally, really enjoy the smell of teak.

“deregulating insurance markets, so that people can actually choose a plan that makes sense for them.”

The problem with the modern insurance market is Not Enough Crypto.

Oh shit, he’s good. He DDOS’d me right back.

Hey, now. They also really hate FDR and LBJ.

So you’re agreeing this is a Bill of Attainder limited to a single group of American citizens?

Thanks.

Trump was more than happy to sell Ukraine surplus munitions back in 2018, when a diplomatic solution was still possible.

Drenching the conflict with lighter fluid and waiting for someone to light a match.

Turd on turd violence. But it did seem like Kennedy was ready to fix Truman’s mistake in kicking off the Cold War.

And then…

this guy is not even being charged with anything

He feels threatened, though. That violates his NAP.

If these were black kids playing across the street rather than armed FBI agents pounding on his door, he likely would have tried to gun them down already.

Libertarians denounce Lincoln as a tyrant, then spill a gallon of ink praising Coolidge, Eisenhower, and Reagan for brutalizing Latin America and terrorizing American immigrant communities.

They don’t give a shit about Freedom and Liberty. They’re just white nationalists. They want to bring the old plantation system back.

At high concentrations, its still fucking awful for us. Easy to forget that the atmosphere is still only 21% Oxygen and 78% Nitrogen. Even setting aside the risks of fire and explosion at higher concentrations, this highly reactive substance degrades the nervous and musculature system.

You wouldn’t want to wander around in a fully oxygenated environment for the same reason you wouldn’t want to drive your car through a lake of gasoline.

That’s not unusual for Americans, though. Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Nixon… Americans have been putting up turds to the Oval Office since President Kennedy’s term abruptly ended.

But explicit prohibition on continued operation if they don’t. ByteDance is not affected outside of the US. Only US employees are being threatened.

It would be akin to passing a law that states Finite Banjo’s friend Jose

Except, again, the business being penalized is the American subsidiary.

The fact that you think you can remove all context

The context is that the commercial assets and employees being threatened by the US government are all within US territory.

The parent company don’t have judicial protections.

But the subsidiary does.

And unfortunately for the CCP they fail #3

The bill doesn’t target the CCP, it targets a US subsidiary of a Singapore-based multinational.

unless the Chinese owners divest and all Chinese centralization for the company gets shut down

A rule that applies exclusively to the US subsidiary of TikTok.

It would be akin to passing a law that says @finitebanjo must have all of his possessions seized in the next nine months, because he took money from the Canadian government. Canada isn’t the target of the legislation and the scope of the legislation isn’t universal - it’s only assigning a punishment to a single domestic resident - and entirely on the grounds that the current chief executive doesn’t like Justin Trudeau.

They’re leading the pack. Although, that could change if some supermassive community like Threads ever implemented a Lemmy API.

Still a relatively slight difference in scale between .world and Reddit compared to, say, .world and shi.tjustworks or lem.ee.

I thought we like disruption.

that data goes to the US government instead of to the CCP

Going to blow people’s minds when they find out Temu data also goes to the US government and Facebook data also goes to the CCP.

This shit is just a commodity. It’s auctioned off at the bid rate. The NSA doesn’t just lay claim to this data, it buys it. And these Big Data companies are only handing it over because of the absurd margins NSA (and MI5 and the rest of the Five Eyes) directors are willing to pay.

Your data isn’t any safer because the parent company is owned by a foreign plutocrat. This is a big club and you ain’t in it.
