  • You mean the thing that allows the president to remove people from the US according to famed puppy killer Kristi Noem?

    That's what he's trying to enforce you silly goat! Those filthy protestors are trying to stop ICE from doing just that. /s

    Bet these ghouls are just salivating at the potential justification to invoke the insurrection act.

  • Less assuming it is one or the other than guessing which one seems more likely of the two. Probably I'm hoping that it's just the pee tape because it's the most funny option I've seen laid out. That all of this stems from an act that in and of itself registers at "okay, that's kind of weird" but isn't like omg your life is over y'know?

  • I still kinda want it to be the "pee tape" everyone was speculating about last time around. Because that's the funniest possible piece of kompromat I can think of that Putin could have on ole Donnie Boy. Realistically though considering his longstanding friendship with Epstein...

  • Well yeah the AI support is just the next iteration of confusing telephone trees and long wait times. The direct hope is that they make it just convoluted enough that a chunk of people that they before would have to "waste money" serving and fixing whatever problem they had will instead just give up without opening them up to liability for denying service. Only now they can do it while hiring even fewer actual people to handle the cases that get through.

  • More like if we let gays get married the women-folk might have an option beyond being trapped in a marriage to a potentially abusive husband (them) the way God™ intended.

    That's what they're scared of. That women might choose to be alone or "be gay" rather than be with them.

  • Knowing him he'll probably allow them to get on that "Gold Card" track without the money as a show of "combating the horrible racial injustice" in South Africa.

    Every accusation is a confession after all. So it would be very on brand for them to fast track granting these people status that allows them to vote so now they'll be the ones with the "millions of illegals voting" for them.

  • I think I get what it's saying? It's saying that while your phone isn't directly listening to your conversations in any meaningful way they collect crazy amounts of other data on basically everyone and can piece it together in such a way that they can make some scary accurate guesses as to the kind of ads to serve you based on what their systems have gathered your interests are and where/with whom you spend your time.

    I'm not entirely sure. They didn't really seem to present much more than speculation on it.

  • Funny how the cries of censorship always seem to come from people who don't actually care about the topic and just want to be edgy debate perverts for the sake of it. Heaven forbid a group of trans people have a space where we don't have to justify our existence.

  • I always assumed it was more about the conveyors and such your bag goes through before even getting to those folks. Heavier bags mean more wear and tear and maintenance on those machines.

    Honestly, it's probably a little bit of both along with just deterring some cohort of people from bringing too much stuff because they don't want to pay the fees.

  • Then they should be educated out of those ignorant views, not have their rights restricted. What are you gonna do when some wannabe fascist decides that "basic voting condition" means believing that trans people don't exist, that climate change is a hoax, and that the ultra-wealthy shouldn't pay any taxes actually?

  • The right to vote shouldn't be restricted in any way. If you have legal restrictions then all it takes is bad actors expanding those categories and sorry, you just failed the critical thinking test because you think that climate change is real and life doesn't begin at conception. Better get ready for your shift at Amazon, serf.

    Media literacy and such should just be part of the education everyone gets.

  • Don't ya just hate it when people make their harmful kink both their entire personality, and a problem for your fundamental rights? It feels weird to say it. But that's basically what this performative Christian schtick is for people like this. They get off in it so now it's all of our problem.

  • I think so. I looked up the definition quickly to be sure, and:

    shamelessly immoral or debauched. wildly extravagant or wasteful.

    I know they wouldn't think so obviously. But a lot of that seems to fit pretty well I think the whole goal of "force whatever woman I can to be my own personal Bang Maid subject to all my whims," kinda qualifies.

  • Oh yes, tie their ability to stay in the country to them staying in a marriage to someone who actively despises their existence...

    Oh wait, that's the "Greatness" a lot of these chuds want to bring back. The days before the country was "ruined" by "No-Fault Divorce" when women couldn't have their own bank accounts and were at the mercy of their husbands/fathers... Right.

  • Literally from your link they quote him saying.

    ...but it does not have the right to use US dollars to kill thousands of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza.

    But Oh No he didn't say the Magic Word to the press 2 months in when we still have 0 idea what internal discussions were happening. Can't give the guy with probably the longest track record of being on the right side of pretty much every issue any benefit of the doubt. Especially not when he has before been very vocal about Palestinian rights. Couldn't possibly be any good reason he didn't use the Magic Purity Word.

  • Color me surprised. A video with a hostile interviewer trying to bait him into making statements that paint pro-Palestinian sentiment as pro-Hamas and him predictably navigating the "do you condemn Hamas?" traps.

    Of course that outweighs him using the power he has to try to block 20 billion dollars worth of weapons. Heaven forbid he try to be an effective advocate and not demonstrate perfect ideological purity in every interview and talk no matter how it might impede him actually trying to fucking do something about it.
