"Seedorf said he’d “take a bullet for” Trump and that Trump was the only politician he’d commit such an act of self-sacrifice for. Of the former president, Seedorf said: “He’d do it, too, for everyone else.”"

These people are mentally ill. It would be sad if it weren't so terrifying

If this goes the worst possible way I'm sure Congress will just swing into action and suddenly start legislating to resolve the thousands of questions that will suddenly need answering.

I feel like this is part of a Republican long game - make their states so unpalatable to progressives that they move out, thus ensuring that the US Senate and House are never again under Democratic control. It's like a for of self-imposed gerrymandering for Democrats, packing themselves into the few states with liberal legislaturea and policies.

Of course, those blue states will continue to subsidize the red states through tax dollars and federal programs, but that's another issue entirely.

These judges like Wallace are people too, with families who cannot hide behind anonymity like a high profile jury in a mob case. They've seen what Trump's Brown Shirts will do to those they don't like: anything from incessant threatening phone calls to attempted murder with a hammer. What an impossible position to be in: serve justice, or risk your family being stalk and possibly assaulted.

This is how democracy dies. It takes very brave people in power to stand up to someone like Trump.

So he's saying he'd like to visit Guantanamo? I mean, that is where we send foreign fighters....

Another nice way for the party in the White House to consolidate power. A Trump justice department would just love to ignore heavily gerrymandered districts in Republican states while attacking those in Democratic states.

For the record, gerrymandering is killing democracy when either party does it, but given that 19 states have their districts drawn by Republicans, and only 7 states have districts drawn by Democrats, you can see who this ruling would favor.

It's so sad. Study after study have shown that the ROI on publicly funded research is anywhere from 20% to 100% depending on the industry.

These morons don't understand science enough to even realize how they benefit from it every day.

I think you have to enable NSFW posts in your Lemmy profile. Look around for some settings to flip

Because both sides are fighting are major assholes. Hamas does hide arms and fighters in and around hospitals. Israel doesn't hold back attacking the hospitals to get at that gear, because they care more about killing Hamas than saving Palestinians. The civilians in Gaza are surrounded by assholes.

They still won 50 seats out of 24,000 up for election. Even that is too many.

Genocide Joe? 🙄

And who should voters replace him with, Mr Answers?

“It’s a central premise of the Bible that God invented civil government,” Johnson told Olohan, who added that, “like many Americans of faith, Johnson sees government as a ‘design of God’ and ‘a gift to mankind in a fallen society.’

These people are literally insane.
