Seriously. These aren't mistakes or slow bureaucracy that takes time to resolve. They're stalling and flirting with a final and outright rejection, which is contempt.

Or we could just take it over, like what Hogg is actually trying to do. Parties shift focus much more easily than they die.

Hey, from the right perspective, defrauding a monument to the police is pretty based.

I agree, but it actually kind of makes a worse case for them. Sometimes investments don't work out. Sometimes loans are defaulted on too, but we have a much greater expectation that loans should be repaid.

If these people "invested" in 2023 expecting a certain level of growth and now we're in 2025 and the growth wasn't maintained, that's their fault for making a bad prediction with their "investment".

"Have to" assumes the consequences of not doing it are worse than doing it. Sometimes it's better to just walk away from a loan and accept the consequences. Yeah, maybe Ukraine will be screwed in the process, but that doesn't get them their billions back.

How is this the Republicans?

Danny Wimmer, a spokesperson for Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, told the Detroit Free Press that the raids "were not related to protest activity on the campus of the University of Michigan," but were "in furtherance of our investigation into multijurisdictional acts of vandalism."

"Which is why I have decided to reduce the amount of time I dedicate to sinking it."

Source: People can print whatever they like on a carton. It's testers and regulators that recognize and punish them for making false claims.

A) The title as a standalone piece is part of the NYT's messaging. That's why fact check sites make clear that a false title is false in their headline.

B) Accepting the premise that if they were part of a gang this would be justified or even just acceptable is validating fascism. "Not all of the detainees are gang members" is a message that the core issue is a flawed implementation, not that the fundamental act of disappearing people into a foreign concentration camp without trial or sentence is a dangerous and urgent affront to a civilized society.

"Sending people not of the targeted groups to Auschwitz calls into question the current iteration of the program. The gestapo should do better."

A zero percent error rate would still be unacceptable. They've been sent to a gulag without a trial and have no sentence to serve. The offense doesn't matter, the guilt doesn't matter, that's not how you handle either crime or deportation.

The NYPost is a crappy conservative tabloid. I don't know why people keep posting stories from it.

The problem isn't them arguing to the best of their ability that the accused is guilty. The problem is trying to stack so many years of prison into the charge that the accused pleads out because it's safer to serve 5 years for something you didn't do than risk 20 years trying to prove your innocence. That's not justice.

A 2011 case! Those gears of justice sure do move slowly.

I'm addition to the other stuff, protest movements often begin at schools, so trying to preemptively control that has benefits for a regime concerned about future protests and civil unrest.

If not for the lack of decentralization, they'd be more decentralized.

They will if China threatens to punish them for it. Making it the other country's own interest to not fuck with them is the whole point of the warning.

And testing companies can reduce prices and take on many more customers if they don't actually test anything.

"Ultra pasteurized" are just words on a carton unless there's someone verifying it.

From another story about the event, it wasn't even like odd jobs for a host, it was small job remote work for people in Germany and Asia. Stuff they would be doing at home and just kept doing during downtime on a long vacation.

Don't reply to any business emails while lounging by the pool, you need a work visa for that!

They were teenagers who had spent the last 5 weeks traveling the world. They probably just didn't think keeping up with developments in the US was important. That plus a healthy dose of white privilege (and probably a wealthy background given that they were teenagers on a world tour) telling them oppression was something that happens to other people.
