  • Ugh.

    • Omar Khadr: Pled guilty to spying in Canada in 2010 was held in gitmo Bay before being transferred to Canada

    Seriously I don't know why I'm I'm even dignifying this with a response because we both know that they hold people there that they accuse of being terrorist or Spies of terrorists without any due process and so we don't know their names typically and we don't know why they're in there other than what the US government will tell us which isn't much.

    We also have multiple officials from that time admitting that the president and most the administration from that time knew that most of the people put in gitmo Bay were innocent And kept there because it was politically expedient. And that's just according to Wikipedia.

    Still it's not a far stretch to imagine that United States has imprisoned foreign spies in places like gitmo Bay without informing the public.

  • Sorry I read something else and got confused I'll go correct the information later.

  • hurr durr none of these were spies. They were only accused of spying

  • Ahmed al Halabi

    This guy was actually acquitted of the charges but was still horribly abused inside the prison: Captain James Yee

    Mohammed Hashim

    Omar Ahmed Khadr

    I mean these are just a few. This wasn't even hard to look up. Did you not expect that there would be actual spies in one of the US terrorist torture camps?

  • ~~That's an interesting part of the story but in this case this Canadian tourist hadn't live in the country at all. I feel like the speed at which he entered the US and then died indicates a problem with us custody and handling.

    Like I feel like it's more egregious if you lived in the country for 30 years and then you know were prosecuted as a spy but to just die from being detained is total bullshit~~

    Misread something not valid.

  • Someone's never heard of Gitmo Bay 🤣

  • Iran has not confirmed that they have him in detention and this was a spy. They literally caught a US spy. Do you know what we do to people we catch spying in the US?

    This is quite literally not the same thing. The US has accidentally killed a Canadian tourist. If a part of Iran's government killed a US citizen we'd use that to launch War today.

  • Eh nothing of value was lost

  • Oh I don't give a crap about their "savings".

    Even if self checkout is more expensive to the companies I still prefer self-checkout for personal reasons rather than economical ones.

    Besides the issues and opportunities for theft that self checkout creates means that it's probably a wash as far as how much money they're saving.

    I definitely understand though not wanting to like scan your own groceries or deal with the whole system it would refer somebody else to do it. That's why they should have both available.

  • I think that's a good start if electoralism can get us that far. That does sound a whole lot better than the way we have it now

  • I mean you're just objectively wrong then 🤷

  • I like self checkout. I struggle with talking to people and it can really drain on me so it's a godsend to have if I only need to run in for a few things.

    People are using it to steal because people can't afford the basic necessities anymore and we've lost a shit ton of our purchasing power.

  • Just because we know it won't get through doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying to push impeachment articles as often as possible.

    I mean it only took like two or three Democrat deaths to swing the house in the Republican direction so that the Republicans can get some shit through that could always happen the other way around because the gerontocracy is on both sides

  • When I need to get through my own ADHD episodes when I'm struggling like this so I generally move to things like reading or writing or drawing. The idea that is to keep my brain moving on some sort of thought so that it can't fall asleep.

    If you're focused on something you can't sleep at least in my experience ( I focused on things hard enough to end up keeping me awake when I was supposed to sleep )

    Best of luck comrade. You got this

  • Grass root movements! Very hopeful to see. Hopefully they are in for the long haul.

  • It seems like a really excellent response that's well informed and source well.

    It does seem like the most plausible explanation

  • It's bad when George Bush seems like a better president than Trump
