I thought they were just doing a continuing resolution. So isn't it that whatever is already sanctioned to go somewhere it persists until they come up with a real agreement?

Oh. So you, Sashi, legit believe that you are in a personal relationship with the government. I see now why you use that rhetoric. I am at fault for thinking that attitude was just a negative stereotype the right invented for leftists. Instead I will say I heavily disagree with that interpretation o...

Biden has decided to show up at the picket line for auto workers. While I don't believe this means much to the effort overall I think it's a good sign that the office believes it is good to actually visibly side with workers. From what I understand the act of even showing up for this kind of thing ...

I do think it's childish that in the game of politics where everyone is acting in their own interest that you can assume any act of any actor that isn't in power isn't coming under duress. So pointing out that anyone who ever gives praise to the government because the government in the past has done...

No dead DM I do not think you are specifically anti union or whatever. I think that you and people like you see a lot more value in the minimal support those in high positions give to those without and that it weighs heavier on your desire to support or not support certain things which is why I thin...

So that's a dead end thing you're presenting here and I encourage you to reread the post where I told you I don't know why you think an article about event A is a contradiction to event B occurring. You clearly understand these are two separate events given the intimate partner dynamic you keep brin...

So the bolded isn't wrong it is just not good enough for you. Just say that instead of being wrong on purpose. The White House claim isn't why I gave credit to Biden. The union gave Biden credit. It's in the article. If I were to guess it would be in every article I would look up over this specific ...

So a few things. I specifically said my position on Biden hasn't changed. The thing you posted about the union not wanting to give up their right to strike does not counter the fact that they got concessions, ones the union agreed to that are talked about in the article I posted, and I don't know wh...

Apparently Biden did something more for the railway workers after he shut down their attempt at a strike and from what little I've heard it has been in their interest. It was done quietly and the only reason I know that something happened is because of the media I consumed but it was something. I do...

Given stahl's past behavior I'm surprised there was a rebuttal . Typically they lay one of these down and don't bother further defense or discussion about it. I know Vox did a video about this program about a month ago. I remember seeing the title but I didn't look at because I didn't (and don't) ca...

People 'may' decide to get violent but that's what they want. Someone to give them an excuse to use the stuff they've been given. Violence happened in very limited quantities a few years ago due to the fact that our storm troopers love killing people but all that did was get us a president who insis...

I'm a bit confused. Is collecting money to fund people's bail illegal? Is that the nature of the indictment or is the charge that the bail and protests were a part of some greater criminal effort? If so what was the criminal effort they are saying this was a part of?

I've heard that Adams is a big liar even among politicians. Hasn't he been caught fabricating events and having his staff fabricate "proof" so he can continue whatever lie he decided to tell?

Sounds like a familiar move.

Out of curiosity what is the argument that they've given for why a cap is necessary? Surely sane people would not want a cap on that kind of thing.

Another think piece must've come out because that's quite a shift from "Warcrimes happened therefore continued warcrimes is alright" and "protests = warcrimes". Now we've rested easily on "I am ok with the US providing the means for warcrimes as long as the people we're givi...

Not that dead can be argued reasonably down from the "War crimes are ok as long as war crimes have already happened" hill. deaddm's political stance on most things where people are suffering is that poor/brown people shouldn't complain too loud. The only reason he's suddenly taking the &qu...

You telling Ukraine not to use cluster munitions is no different than the protesters on the corner of Beach Blvd and Imperial highway today telling women that they are going to hell for getting an abortion. What think pieces have you read that have gotten you to the point where you think war crimes...

More people doing a catastrophically bad thing is in fact worse than less people doing it. What think piece did you read that convinced you that this was not the case?

Also SCOTUS just took their shot at student loan forgiveness and I'm still unsure why they even get a say in that.

I don't like looking at beta stuff for games so I'm going to avoid it. Don't like spoilers and it feels the same as supporting the whole pre-order process.

Looked into Miasma and it looks pretty good. Very XCOM which is one of my favorite things.

I'm not sure that banning these dementia addled people would matter much. The fact that they are there and the parties just continue on as usual just goes to show that who we are forced to pick to go to Congress doesn't matter much. Your brain can just be mush and you'll serve as a perfectly fine pe...

I and a few people in my gaming group are looking forward to it. I like that style of RPG and still like WH40k so it is a good thing to hear something about what is going on. But also I don't like to get too hype.

So there're no punishments for jury tampering of that magnitude?
