I'm not from the US either, but I have heard of Project 2025. If Republicans actually implement what's in it, whatever checks and balances were left will go right out the window.

Certainly but Shell and BP are two of the top 10 biggest energy companies in the world. I guess it comes down to which industries are most closely wedded to the politicians and the monarchy.
Any state successfully withdrawing from an ISDS-infested treaty should be a huge victory for its people, but I wonder if the UK or any nation that benefits from sales of oil/petrol would even bother taking advantage of their regained sovereign powers to regulate more effectively? Also, there seem to be propaganda efforts out there to rile up farmers and their sympathizers to fight against meaningful regulations (rather than for consideration and assistance with adjustments). I wonder how this might play out.
It's unequal in that they're already more likely to prosecute minorities. Somehow I doubt prosecution of more white people would have changed this judge's mind.
"Cool" is from before the time of probably any of us on here-- the 1930s! It's possible its usage might have slightly shifted over time (?) but that one just doesn't go away.
Meanwhile expressions like "radical," "bad," "on fleek" (ugh) didn't last long.
They do pop out sometimes in winter, but isn't the set of prints in each clump too wide to be squirrel tracks?
Neat! Am I correct to interpret these prints as being left by an animal that was either running in quick gallops or doing short hops? They seem to be clumped in discrete groups instead of a trail.
It amazes me officials can speak like this, yet there are also the widespread reports of organ theft (esp. skin and corneas removed from bodies). Even some reports of blond babies being kidnapped from their families because they're assumed not to be Arab. Where is the cognitive dissonance?
It's part of Israel's propaganda to make this about religion to invoke irrational "War on Terror" sentiments in people who haven't looked into it that deeply.
In reality, they're dehumanizing and targeting all Palestinian Arabs, including Christians. Hence the shooting up and bombing of churches along with everything else.
Some of them are Kahanists but I don't think religion figures into their motives as a wider group except for scapegoating purposes.
Someone would have had to call it in that saw them getting out (or piling in), otherwise nobody knows what's inside.
If they were just verbally protesting their presence and not committing assaulting I'd understand as there are legit reasons for Jewish people not to like Christian Zionism.... but the Israeli state finds them politically convenient I guess, so of course they let it fly. 🙄
Good call. As with every other industry where bullshit rent-seeking has taken hold, the attempted fee tack-on and walkback are an experiment in how far they can go before appeasing customers. It's about testing waters before wearing people down. Rest assured, the one CEO's peers have taken note of this noble effort. Eventually, as they see it, one of them will succeed in making it stick, paving the way for them all to do the same. The first CEO to make it stick will get additional bonuses, praise, and a higher level of notoriety within their rarefied circles.
