The cruelty is the point. They want to appear like strong-men dealing with criminals and the base goes along with it. In reality, they're quite weak and know this is very unpopular so they've dedicated press conferences along wi

You've made a grave mistake conceding that because parent is bad faith and he basically just wants a screenshot of others saying Obama was bad. It's a weird obsessions of his. Obama is a main stay in responses critical of Trump.

Obama didn't use ICE to crack down on dissent or to sexually abuse minors, so no. He didn't set precedent for the ways they're being used now.

You're being disingenuous by saying things like: > largely the same thing Look at the points I mentioned and tell me how they're the same. I don't contest that law enforcement does awful things with their power, but

The onus is on you to explain how Obama's terms are relevant to what ICE is doing now. Did Obama: - post AI videos mocking immigrants? - open a facility called Alligator Alcatraz? - say "homegrowns are next" when talking abou

If you want to play lawyer, that's great but everyone just watched an execution of a mother in broad daylight. I think most reasonable people would agree that this is over the top especially because they made it extremely hard to rende

Yep, don't acknowledge the point about current leadership and their rhetoric. Ignore the videos you see online and ignore the picture of blood + brain matter splattered inside the car. I can't tell if you're trolling, an awfu

I mostly agree with your comment except the part where flipper types and corps cause distortion because they have 30-year mortgages at their disposal. A fixed rate, 30-year is distortionary on its own; it's a uniquely American "pr

These homes going back on the market wouldn't make a dent in housing prices. As much as we'd like to think that corporations are to blame, that's not reality. Plenty of middle class families own homes and vote for local polit

This is not surprising at all. I'm not sure why people keep making this mistake thinking that good 'ol Republicans are flipping their script all of a sudden. MAGA is a populist movement and has a lot in common with the far left ty

Toilet seats are something that people transfer across apartments in France? What the fuck. I'm assuming a lot of tenants furnish the absolute bare minimum and spend their time somewhere else?

Yeah, it seems like mandating transparency here would be better. I've never moved into an apartment that didn't have a fridge, but if the landlord wasn't providing one before, I can't imagine they'll spend on a nice

I'm not sure why that would require more friction or why my comment was downvoted: i2p is harder to use than Tor. Adoption will be hindered by it, even in tech circles. I want to fire up an executable and maybe click through one prompt

by hypeatei 10mo ago
Tor, sure. i2p requires some proxy config in your browser and you need to run a service in the background explicitly. I wish they'd release a dedicated client like Tor does.

Driving is the opposite of relaxing to me but I guess it is just you and your thoughts most of the time.

Sitting with your own thoughts is privileged now? Interesting. I'll keep this in mind until there is seven digits in my bank account.

Given that it was used as justification for regime change ("Venezuela is sending fentanyl and killing Americans!!") then I'd say the pleading should be special.

by hypeatei 10mo ago
Killing fisherman as a pretext to regime change is not what the "real world demands", but okay at least you're admitting it was all a lie. EDIT: the drugs narrative was a lie too. Trump just admitted that it was about extract

No evidence, as in, it was just Hegseth saying they were "narco terrorists" and using that as justification for military force. Whether or not it's typical for the government to provide it, I don't know, but the public c
