They do indeed.

My parents are deeply religious, but have never figured out that it’s my siblings and I who actually answer their prayers.

This, we had a bastard named ‘Officer Friendly’ who came by to my elementary school to indoctrinate us into believe cops weren’t bastards.

A small piece of good news, even though we know that the puritanical hypocrites of Wisconsin won’t let that be the end of it.

This app sounds exceedingly useful to me.

Not sure if he pushed the original measure but he was definitely instrumental in the compromise they attempted to insert into it.

That vote tally, though.

Somebody get this good boy a nap immediately.

Interesting.

I’d honestly never heard about that detail before. I’ll have to read more about him.

Seeing as how there are always designated no votes in the Democratic Party at the Federal level, and you’ve seen this since the 90’s, I don’t think the TBI is the reason why he’s voting conservative. He’s getting personally enriched, just like all the other rotating villains.

Instead, you got brain-dead Mehmet Oz.

Quite the trade.

This is the way. There’s always gotta be a Feinstein, or a Manchin, or a Sinema. Otherwise how will the rubes ever swallow all of the Democrats’ excuses?

I remember when people were so excited to elect this guy. Hate to say I told you so, but I predicted he would be the second coming of Sinema.

I feel bad for that guy. I don’t remember people being this absurdly obsessed with someone since they kept Terri Schiavo plugged in after she was brain-dead, because if a corpse is animated then they’re obviously alive.

Agreed. It does seem like the censorship, propaganda, and general disingenuousness around the issue has worked against conservatives and the so-called “moderates”. (Who are really just conservatives in blue jerseys.)

Totally, and the deal’s going to happen in two weeks. Definitely two weeks.

Seems pretty clear to me that the majority of NYC voters do not give a fuck about Israel or the ginned-up, media-driven antisemitism fears.

They care about the basics: housing, food, and value for their labor.

I’m waiting to see him elected and some kind of action on his promises before I get excited. This just feels so much like 2008, when we had a young, handsome, charismatic man running for president also making extravagant promises. (Who then ruled as a conservative and a warmonger.)

Words aren’t enough. I need to see some action.

Just a typical Sunday in the US… except… what kind of asshole kills FIREFIGHTERS?!

it becomes a form of censorship when snall websites and forums shut down because they don’t have the capacity to comply.

In this scenario that’s not a consideration.

We’re talking about algorithmically-driven content, which wouldn’t apply to Lemmy, Mastodon, or many mom-and-pop sized pages and forums. Those have human moderation anyway, which the big sites don’t. If you’re making editorial decisions by weighting algorithmically-driven content, it’s not censorship to hold you accountable for the consequences of your editorial decisions. (Just as we would any major media outlet.)

Absolutely. There’s a part of me that wants to believe “this isn’t who we are”, but, with kidnapping victims detainees being murdered in ICE custody and people likely being murdered in our gulag in El Salvador (not that we’ll ever learn about it), it’s an eminently fair statement.

Not to mention that half of the people on SCOTUS outright lied repeatedly about their principles and values during their Senate confirmation hearings. They don’t deserve an iota of respect from good, reasonable people.
