And how can the states arrest ICE agents without using force? You think ICE agents will just willingly walk into custody? The minute states use force against any US Federal agents the US Federal Government will use its military force. BTW -

I finally understand what you mean. So Democrats should not send tax money to Washington and arrest ICE agents for whatever reason. And then deal with the courts later. I think I finally understand your point. It will be interesting to see

Well, it looks though like these 60 votes required to change these rules will not happen. Which makes me think these rules do not matter for most of the people. This ties in with my other comment in this thread - the US population is living

The mode of operation of this administration is to do things first and deal with push back from the courts later. Court cases do not "gum up the works" effectively. The two items you mentioned (detaining ICE agents and not sending

GOP does not do anything you mentioned. Democrats are filibustering pretty much all they can do - with no shame (and kudos to them for the lack of shame). About detaining ICE agents and not sending withheld federal taxes to Washington - thi

A bit hyperbolic, ain't it? Lots of people who are not millionaires care about much more than survival. Like for example the family I drove by a couple of months ago - they were very concerned about fitting 3 dirt bikes (1 adult size,

You are on: can you explain how anyone can legally and unilaterally take away my fully paid car? After that can you explain how can anyone legally and unilaterally take away my mortgaged home? Just curious. (If still interested in this game

What makes you think Netherlands government knows what data resides within its borders?

Your heart is in the right place, and Stanislav Petrov deserves all of our respect. However, the reality is more complicated. Due to geography, USSR used a system called dead hand [0] to detect a nuclear attack and to retaliate. In particul

Interesting take. What is the market-serving product you mentioned?

Well, yeah, sure, they are building lots of shitty weapons. Meanwhile they cannot take over an adversary a third of its size. About resource extraction - the West stopped giving Russia extraction technology. Which means Russia is coasting o

The biggest sanctions were adopted after the war started (and then the West kept piling up new sanctions every few months). Are you suggesting the West should have put these harsh sanctions before the war? My recollection of Dec 2021 and Ja

How can Russia be economically stronger under sanctions? Before the war they were able to manufacture some goods (Volkswagen had a couple of factories. I think Unilever was making some washers/ dryers). This is all replaced by manufact

I think Western leaders are clear headed enough to understand that sanctions do not cause people to raise against their leaders. This has been known since bombing Germany and Japan in WWII (a different, more violent kind of sanctions). Howe

Exactly. These people did not come to create new companies, employ people, come up with new products. These people came to London to party, not to contribute. They will take their party with them, but not their contributions - because there

For me it is not a trick question. I would like to understand the motivation of tech leaders who line at Trump's feet. What is the worst that may happen to them if they would ignore Trump? All of them already have their underground bun

The author does not seem disappointed because tech leaders have a different political preference. The author seems to be disappointed because what he thought was the original ethos of Silicon Valley - competition, innovation, risk, and rebe

Right. Let me say it one more time: these laws are passed because of leaks. Not because of $0.5 million book deal. She could have leaked these anonymously or not to the NYT or WP or WSJ or whoever. She chose the book deal.

Sorry, my post was confusing. Those are the principles of The Guardian. My principle is to avoid The Guardian.

Laws are put in place to protect society. When a behavior hurts the society the society puts a law against it. Like for example : Australia requires minimum age 16 for creating an online account. This addresses one of the issues you mention

Wrapping a tiny bit of truth in innuendoes and click-bait titles with anti-corporate bent. Like for example this article. Free press and all, I guess.

I did not misunderstood the point. The GP equated reporting a crime (robbery) with airing some dirty laundry.
