How is a governor signing a blatantly unconstitutional law or refusing to comply with a federal law not a crime? The latter at least should end up with the FBI arresting desantis.
Donald Trump’s lawyer pushed an outrageous line of thinking on Thursday during oral arguments at the Supreme Court over whether the former president has immunity for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election: that a U.S. president could order a military coup d’état with almost no chance of repercussions....
Biden should just have Trump arrested and sent to gitmo. If the president really does have all this unilateral power only able to be stopped by impeachment there’s no real way to prevent a dictator. Just arrest anyone in Congress who’d vote to impeach you.
It’d absolutely be the end of this country but we’re already staring that in the face as Trump tells the SCOTUS what he plans to do.
As the Supreme Court weighs whetherDonald Trump is shielded from prosecution for acts committed while president, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he opposes Trump’s view of absolute immunity.
I pretty much never see porn show up for me in all. I get a bunch of communities showing pictures of partially clad women I have to block but that’s it. Did you disable NSFW?
Yeah. If a non-billionaire (allegedly) tweeted out barely-veiled threats to jurors and witnesses and the judge’s family that causes their friends to send death threats, you’d be in prison after you violated the gag order. Maybe not even get a gag order: just also charged with tampering.
Agreed. The Oxford comma doesn’t contribute to any confusion. At worst, it’s a bit superfluous. But I always use it because it’s more clear what you’re saying.
Yeah but Republicans think it does and have been trying to suppress voters for a while. Mostly in specific districts and for specific methods like threatening people using ballot drop boxes.
If you just compare your life to some of the worst off then yeah, no one ever gets to complain about anything.
This whole outrage is misunderstanding the fact that people can have problems, especially perceive themselves as having problems, that are on their own scale and not comparable to the world at large. Also her songs are written to be relatable to some extent and not just 100% autobiographical so more people can envision their own problems and circumstances. But that’s like, 99% of music so it feels weird to say it.
The Wall Street Journal reported that a flight attendant accidentally hit a switch on the pilot’s seat, which pushed the pilot into the controls, forcing down the plane’s nose
So either the switch is in a bad position or is too easy to hit.
During the incident people were thrown against the roof of the plane, which was travelling from Australia to New Zealand
Keep your seatbelts on at all times! Unless you’re getting up to use the restroom or grab a bag, belts on. This is why they mandate this on most flights. Unexpected turbulence can do something similar.
Once had a flight attendant crouch next to my seat for to such turbulence. They were unfazed meaning this isn’t uncommon.
They won’t. They got shown up by New Vegas and even had that stupid bonus scheme to cheat Obsidian out of pay. Neither company would agree to do that again.
Also someone would have to use Bethesda’s ass engine yet again and no one wants those ugly models and awful performance.
On the other hand, newcomers tend to… totally ruin the thing you’ve loved for decades.
This is one of the most gatekeeping thing I’ve heard in a while. You don’t want new people to discover something you like because they might like it differently.
So let’s all hope this doesn’t lead to watered down cash grabs
You mean more than the mobile game and Fallout 76?
This article does a great job of explaining people’s frustration with having to vote for Biden again. It’s long, so here are some quotes. They’re totally cherry-picked, I’d recommend reading the whole thing (especially if you think the problem started with Biden, and that Clinton and Obama were ever good choices)....
I’ve been thinking along the same lines for a while. If I call 911 and submit a knowingly false report, I get charged with a crime. If I submit knowingly false paperwork to the government, I can be charged with a crime or at least infraction and fined.
But these people we elect who have entire staffs that are for making sure they always have enough information are submitting blatantly unconstitutional laws just to get them passed through a majority congress to be again and again shot down at the judicial level should really face consequences.
Though I don’t know what that would be without it being used to easily punish political opponents. If there’s a law that does this and gives the judiciary more power, how will it be used when conservatives control those 2 branches?
Those calls came after numerous media outlets reported potentially identifying biographical information about the woman, including her job and the neighborhood she called home.

If the courts don’t immediately arrest and charge this person with juror intimidation/tampering then it’s all over. The fascist mob will figure out who the jurors are and threaten their families en masse because there will be no consequences.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black famously stated in Everson v. Board of Education that “[t]he First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state,” and “[t]hat wall must be kept high and impregnable.”
Government may not adopt or ban instances of religion.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
If traveling is an option for these people why ban it at all? Oh right, because only privileged people should have the ability to get healthcare. The poors are slaves and get what their masters give them, right Lake?
The law, House Bill 433, blocks local governments from several activities, including setting a minimum wage higher than that of the state or federal governments. It also restricts local authorities from “[r]equiring an employer, including an employer contracting with the political subdivision, to meet or provide heat exposure requirements not otherwise required under state or federal law” or “[g]iving preference, or considering or seeking information, in a competitive solicitation to an employer based on the employer’s heat exposure requirements,” according to a summary released by the Legislature.
No one is allowed to do anything except desantis. Very authoritarian. It’s also a way to ensure no one can compete on workplace safety. Ensuring everywhere is just as stupidly dangerous.
I love the original patientgamers subreddit so I was stoked to find this community. And because lemmy seems to have a more knowledgeable crowd any topic I posted here had great engagement and discussions, despite the small community. I am too busy to be a mod but maybe I can help by sparking this discussion: what would be needed...
Yeah. Commenting is important. I look at my feed under Hot and I see a bunch of new posts over the last few hours and they all have 0 comments. Lemmy w/o comments is just a community-driven RSS feed. I comment first when I actually have something to add but it’s just as important as posting new links.
Wouldn’t the offspring of either be a billionaire as soon as either father gave her a billion? Or gave her control of a company that was going to earn her that much? Seems like an easy ask for the 2 richest people.
While for many it’s obvious how serious Trump’s declining mental capacity has become, for too many Americans that reality has not yet broken through. The media continues to treat Trump like a normal candidate; many Americans have baked Trump’s bizarre behavior into their perceptions of him; and many take right-wing lies...
Discord should be used as an easy way to keep people up to date and host links, like a replacement for Twitter. Not too be the sole source of hosting info. They should still have websites the discord points to.
