I wouldn't put it past them to pull a move out of the authoritarian playbook and hire people to act as violent protesters just in case.

They're not generic adapters if they support the Switch. The Switch was intentionally designed to not work with generic USB C to HDMI adapters, and they did it by adding additional negotiation steps before the Switch would enter DisplayPort alt mode.

what's the point in challenging your deportation if you've already been flown to El Salvador and nobody can bring you back?

Plausible deniability and a performative show given by a supreme court that does not care about the constitution as much as it cares about appeasing the people who gave its members their positions.

Or more simply, for the person being disappeared... absolutely nothing, but now guaranteed by a court claiming "we said you deserved due process, so we're not corrupt."

More importantly, with what money? Mega corporations can afford to draw out lawsuits until the end of time (or until the judge gets annoyed), but individuals can't.

The latter. And I'm sure the repair bill won't be paid for by the federal government, but whichever state was hogtied into hosting the parade.

There's a great opportunity for Dems here, if they are willing to take it.

Probably not. Every time the leadership is presented with an opportunity, they choose to do the exact wrong thing.

The best part is she won't even have to. Apparently, as of yesterday, it's no longer even there.

You don't even need to look further than the guy's username to get the sense that he's an obnoxious little prick.

Oh, yay! I can't wait for my coverage to include dietary supplements. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll even get to keep coverage for something I actually need to live.

Going for the record of most total downvotes on Lemmy?

"Mr. President, can you explain the recent market plunge, and whether they were an intended effect of the reciprocal tariff plan?"

"The plunge? Fake news. There is no plunge, the only plunge is our plunge towards making America great again. The Democrats don't want it, they're selling off like crazy. Numbers never seen before. The tariffs are working, Canada is scared. Mexico is scared. Europe, China, Antarctica, all of them scared. They're nothing" without us and they know it. But the Democrats, the Democrats. Corrupt Democrats are trying to undermine the greatest tariffs plan America has ever seen. They're lying about the economy, tricking the banks to sell. But that's fine, it's fine. It's their loss, they want to lose. The real winners, Elon, Pete, and other real hardworking Americas know this. They buy.

Make sure to let the door hit you on the way out, asshat.

They're affionados of /pol/itically incorrect views. I chose that specific board for a reason :)

They do have a sense of taste... it's just overwhelmingly rancid.

It's more like a donut. Not all 4chan posters are DOGE staff, but all DOGE staff are /pol/ afficionados.

Ew, capitalism. That diaper could have been put to good use as fertilizer instead.

In what world can one country dictate the laws of another country without there being a war?

We are talking about a country that demands regulatory concessions in foreign countries, beyond those of which are afforded to said countries' domestic businesses.

I was curious about that whole "Canada doesn't want US banks" thing that started in the beginning of our deranged trade war, and it's really stupid. Opening a bank there is oh so hard for our poor widdle conglomerate banks because... stricter regulations and an unwillingness to make 35% of their Canadian subsidiary publicly owned.

That's it. Their banks have to follow the same rules, and Trump thinks that's unfair for us.

Someone should check the email and phone number of Adrian Dittman to see if they match Elon's. Idiots can argue that it isn't Elon despite speech pattern evidence, but it's harder to argue when both of them share the same identifying info.

My money is on them suggesting people will get a bigger slice of the pie once the "fraud" is removed.

Have them think they'll get their payments, but with interest and a thank you bonus if they just keep being patient. String them along until they either starve or get evicted, then they don't have to pay them anymore.

Considering past policies, probably something about not leaving a negative comment until you've truly listened to the "victim" and empathize with them
