That was only looked at in the first place because she was caught vaping in a crowded theater, then had the nerve to deny it and lash out at the workers for having the audacity to call her out on it.

Pulling support from Isreal isn’t nearly as popular as someone who is in the progressive / lemmy bubble would think. And besides public opinion, Isreal has a very strong lobby. Also, while there are more vocal American Jews standing against Isreal now, they’re far from united against Isreal.
I know it seems like it’s a clear win because of the echo chamber in here, but it could cost them not only the presidential election, but down ballot as well, if they go against Isreal. And I’ve said it before, chasing the Leftist vote is an exercise in futility. They will just move goalposts, and you may very well lose more voters appeasing them than you gain. And the votes you do gain will be fickle.
It sucks to say, but their strategy is solid. And we need to celebrate the small wins to encourage their slow break from unconditional support.

Yes, that was the problem I was implying. Most of these insurrectionists have gotten slaps on the wrist because they’re good ole boys. A few months for being caught in the capitol building. A few years for being caught assaulting police. What was it, 17 years or so for being the leader of proudboys that organized the violent plot?
I know some of those are a bit off, but the point I made was that it’s likely this guy will get real consequences because of his appearance, while all these other pieces of shit got very little time for their actions.
I’d say their real fault lies in not accepting that zero regulations ultimately means that whoever gathers the most influence the fastest will corner every market, and you will no longer have the “choices” that their free market capitalism promises.
It’s extremely simple. History his rife with examples. Modern day is full of examples.
The 2nd largest fault is thinking that people will do what’s in their best interest. If fire departments, roads, etc are a good idea, people will opt to subscribe to those services / maintenance of their own volition. This again ignores the history of what has already happened, and why these became involuntary tax funded services to begin with.
I think you need a 2/3 majority in the senate to impeach a scotus judge. There is no reality where that happens. Absolutely zero chance. Thomas could eat a baby and this GOP would cover for him.
I like your optimism, but there’s no way in hell we’re flipping 16 senators if Jan 6th didn’t even stop the GOP from gaining seats in congress.
On Jan 6th, I thought that we were finally going to get the GOP to collapse and rebuild from scratch. We literally had congressmen narrowly escape a linching from a violent mob literally smearing shit on the walls of one of our highest institutions.
And the GOP just steamed along like nothing happened. And are still getting elected to office. And expelled the few Republicans that spoke up. And their base love them for it.
So no, there’s no path to removing these overtly corrupt SCOTUS judges. Zero. The best we can hope for is Dems getting the majority in congress and achieving a meaningless impeachment that’s nothing but show.
Rofl. Ok, I’ll reply once to your walrusing, but this is it.
You applied US law standards to a foreign nation. Intent, commonality of gun ownership.
This is a foreign nation with their own very strict gun and drug laws. This is very common in 3rd world tourism based countries, particularly island countries. It’s to keep their country controlled and safe, which is essential for the tourism industry. And many of these countries have devastating drug cartel histories, though I don’t know this particular countries history with them.
But yeah, this is all about your gun rights to be careless with your firearms and ammunition, and your rights to travel to other countries and disrespect their laws.
I’m not going to spell out how this is all related to “accountability” because it’s abundantly obvious.
And your victimized take on my pulling your political affiliation is rich, given your words I was replying to:
Just because you personally disagree with the 100 million gun owners doesn’t make this a moderate take. Imprisoning people for years because of a loose round in luggage is moronic politically and a waste of tax money.
But I guess not wanting to be accountable for your own words tracks.
