I don’t think 9/11 would have been successful under him. The Clinton administration was well aware of the danger but the bush administration refused to talk to the outgoing administration. Heck the patriot act was only necessary because the bush administration was not doing its job and bringing together the information it received from various agencies. The patriot act was basically a work around against incompetent presidential administrations.
I often wonder where we would be at if the hanging chads went the other way.
Yeah I don’t know who these over 30 happy people are. The pres just said he plans to rendition citizens to a foreign prison anytime he reasons they did something to warrant it. My brother with kids is super worried. I don’t have kids but still not likin it.
I already went through that it plays into his hands. now he can furlough whoever he likes and the court can’t say boo. right now the firings are being challenged and that is a good thing. - Look im adding this here as I meant to put it before. My knee jerk reaction was the same. Resist no matter what but I have outlayed why its worse to allow the shutdown is all. Be mad thats fine. But I just thought it over and realized the shutdown could be and likely would be worse and just allow trump to do what he is doing easier. He effectively is shutting down the government on a permanent basis.
government is not stopped. we have had government shutdowns and things keep going. non essential government as chosen by the executive arm of the government are shutdown. I have been through two or three shutdowns. everything is not shut down. I mean I have listed why its actually worse if its shut down in this particular scenario. there is not more to tell. it really does play into their favor and the only reason they would not want to overtly do it is optics.
eyup. A lot of laws and policies even into this millenium in major cities like mine were made to get people to bring their kids to school and talk with police and it made a significant difference in some pretty bad neighborhoods. Now it goes back to gang control likely.
The name are just waht they give them yeah. elon musk, donald j trump, vance mcduschebag…
Not to me. Its like a trolley problem where if you do nothing someone dies but if you flip it has the exact same outcome. Seems obvious that its better to not have a hand in it.
yeah and its sorta silly to even pretend that there is private ownership of land given property tax and regulations. The truth is the state owns the land that it holds by military might and the citizens rent portions for their needs.
yeah its the same with patent. I often think both should only be given to individuals and entities should not be able to have them.
Thing is that copywrite did serve a purpose and was for like 20 years before disney got it extended to the nth degree. The idea was the authors had a chance to make money but were expected to be prolific enough to have more writings by the time 20 years was over. I would like to see with patents that once you get one you have a limited time to go to market. Maybe 10 years and if you product is ever not available for purchase (at a cost equivalent to the average cost accounted for inflation or something) you lose the patent so others can produce it. So like stop making an attachment for a product and now anyone can.
waterways too were not great. this just confirms we are trying to be like china/india while they are trying to be like europe.
Again most is heavily weighted as fox news and the fly by night propoganda outlets that have arisen. Its like im a well respected profession and then a bunch of assholes say they are that profession to and now people talk about how my profession sucks but all the actual professionals with real training and experience are just lumped in.
I still see this as unfair. The legitimate press majority does a somewhat decent job but increasingly bad as not enough depth is put in. The bad is unlimited because it is bullshit. “Newspapers” show up at my door with legitimate sounding names and that takes a whole lot more effort than throwing a website up. These things are not really the press but they technically make up the majority. These fake press entities could care less about the first amendment but the legitimate press does.
thats what I meant though. Once they can reliably control the military and the police they will be going after the second amendment like nobodies business.
certainly not the second. not while they don’t hold all power anyway.
I find this idea of the press being responsible absurd. I had no problem knowing about him from the press. I mean if you talking fox news or such sure but my local news stations were good as was ap and npr.
Likely anyone doing this is not able to pay for the medicare stuff and is using medicaid as well.
RFK Jr: “It used to be that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection. The vaccine doesn’t do that … it used to be that very young kids were protected by breast milk. Women who get vaccinated do not provide that level of immunity.”
yup. im single income with a wife that has a lot of medical issues. We barely stay afloat but if I was single I would be rich. If we had universal healthcare we would be doing great to.
