I mean, if someone's going for a radical C-section definitely either mom, the baby, or both are about to die. But dude this is fucked up. I wouldn't give the benefit of the doubt here, personally. She should be sued and she should lose. But I suppose arguably it shouldn't define her career. She's been practicing for 20 years it looks like without any problems. Something went drastically wrong here but I agree with you that chaos is unfortunately part of medicine and definitely is in labor and delivery.

As for swaddling the severed head and body... I kind of also understand. Again, this is extraordinary. Everyone else in the room is as shocked as the rest of us are. What are they going to do, hold up the two halves and say "whoopsie doodle?"

As for denying an autopsy and trying to cover everything up, the hospital should be metaphorically burned to the ground. If the obstetrician was involved, that SHOULD define her career and it should be over.

Election reform that doesn't give outsized power to rural states

I completely agree with you about voter apathy, but this one in particular I don't know how you get past. You need 2/3rds just to get an amendment for it up for a vote that you then need 3/4 of each state to pass. As long as a quarter or more of states are rural we're kind of screwed on that one. I don't see it happening in my lifetime at least.

The rest are spot on. Also, Jack Fucking Smith. It's not just the news that needs consequences.

What in the actual fuck. There is something called "internal decapitation" where you rip the skull off the spine but the skin and muscles stay intact. You're still almost certainly dead, but I assumed that's what this was. It would take a lot of force but not as much as it would to rip the whole fucking thing off.

I have seen some shit, and this story is making me sick.

They're implying people can go make an account on those other instances to continue to use lemmy. Smugly.

The fact that issuing this order publically is such an obvious BFLNN certainly raises the question, "Does Judge Cannon want to be removed from this case?"

Are there not... less publicly idiotic ways to do that?

I hope the January 6th trial moves quickly because she is absolutely going to delay this one as long as Trump wants, if not outright tank the case. Even if she's removed it starts the clock all over again. But I do look forward to another absolute smackdown from the 11th circuit. The last one was brutal and a great read.

The F16 will be vulnerable but not completely useless, as implied by the other post.

It's kind of bizarre. The original article says (in a very repetitive and long-winded way) Europe needs to step up its military spending and send more of their own troops to the eastern borders to be able to counter Russian aggression on their own in the face of a potentially unreliable US who may be more focused on China. I honestly don't think the US would disagree here. Strong allies aren't a bad thing.

Economically it argues (again, in very unnecessarily long wording) the US will make decisions regarding protecting itself from a rising China without concern for Europe.

My opinion, this is probably true, although Europe might want to be concerned about China in its own right. Again, I'm not convinced the US wouldn't want strong economic partners either. This only gets into disagreement territory if the EU intends to partner with China to counter the US. That will go about as well as it did partnering with Russia for their energy dependence.

Bottom line the article makes just two arguments that I'm fairly sure the US would agree with, in an unnecessarily inflammatory way that does seem intended to drive a wedge between the US and EU. I'm not sure if they're just being salty, just trying to use emotion to rile people up to get things done, or if their goal is the second argument, an economic wedge, in which case they're arguing to tie themselves to another despot.

The F-35 has been operating over Syria for years against those supposedly infallible Russian AA defenses. So far the only thing that's been able to hit them is a bird.

Called it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as another method, I believe he just needs one fuckstick on each jury to force a mistrial which would push everything past the election, feed into the "it's all political" narrative, and hand him what will become the emperor's throne. And there is currently no shortage of fucksticks.

Ukraine: we need tanks/armor!
West: hmm, no that would be too provocative.
months later, as Russia digs trenches and lays mines
West: ok, ok, here are some tanks
Ukraine: Great, can we get better ammunition?
West: What?! No, yeesh.
months of mines and trenches later
West: Ok here are cluster munitions
Ukraine: thank you. None of this really works without air support though so...
West: What is your deal?
mine, mine, mine, trench trench
West: Ok maybe some F16s.

West: yo, what's taking so long?
Ukraine: I'm sorry? I can't hear you over ALL THE FUCKING MINES

The statement said that the trustees have not been provided with documentation showing that Katherine Feinstein had been appointed power of attorney. And, in an apparent attempt to raise questions about Senator Feinstein’s capacity to represent her own interests in the lawsuit, it said: “Nor has Katherine made it clear, either in this filing or directly to my clients, why a sitting United States senator would require someone to have power of attorney over her.”

The headline which is stated as fact, is contested.

They’ll go ahead and say it’s unfortunate and that they’re sending thoughts and prayers to the family affected

I would be very surprised if Abbott did even that. Or anyone who voted for him, honestly. If they say it's unfortunate they acknowledge it was an unintended outcome of putting those buoys and razor wire in there. Meaning, it's an outcome of something they did. They'll just say, "well they shouldn't have been there" and move on to the next person to hate.

I see, I apologize for assuming. I think others have already answered that better than I could. I do think the DOJ sat on this longer than they should have but as someone else already said, Trump and his coconspirators entire legal strategy has been delay, delay, delay.

Why does it matter? Why deflect instead of addressing the substance of the indictment?

He can claim he believes it all he wants. The indictment isn't just for what he said, it's for what he DID. No matter your beliefs you can't bully a secretary of state to try to get more votes, you can't conspire to have a bunch of fake electors, you can't order the Vice President to overrule the will of the voters.

"The indictment includes charges of conspiring to defraud the U.S., conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, obstructing an official proceeding and violating a post-Civil War Reconstruction Era civil rights statute that makes it a crime to conspire to violate rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution — in this case, the right to vote." https://apnews.com/article/trump-indicted-jan-6-investigation-special-counsel-debb59bb7a4d9f93f7e2dace01feccdc

There is nothing in those charges about what he said. For those at least, he can't hide behind the first amendment.

I'm more worried there's going to be one fucking dumbass on the jury who derails the whole thing into a mistrial, Trump wins the election, and pardons himself or pulls some other shenanigans to weasel out.
