Dude's ripping up the underpinnings of The American democratic institution of Checks and Balance, upon which litterally everything else relies on for legitimacy, so "pro worker" "union focus", mmmmmmm, okay i guess, but points to litteraly everything burning. This position needs to be a wartime consiglierie, not some pie in the sky "we'll get em next election", without checks and balances, there is no constitutional law, there are no elections, there is no republic
GOV. HOCHUL: “.. the alleged conduct at City Hall that has been reported over the past two weeks .. cannot be ignored. Tomorrow, I have asked key leaders to meet me at my Manhattan office for a conversation about the path forward, with the goal of ensuring stability for the City of New York.”
This meeting being held, and publicized, is to build on record consensus, so she can pull the trigger on this asshole, and remove the Mayor from his elected position for the first time in the 235 year history of New York City.
I have some very bad news about this "Global Security" Taiwan in referring to, that's been blown to shit over the last 7 days. Trump acts like he hates China, what Trump hates is that he hasn't figured out a way to shake the CCP down for kickbacks like he has Putin in Russia, but Trump will trade away Taiwanese security in a heartbeat once Poo makes a deal. Elections have consequences. This, and the loss of Ukraine was what were on the ballot on November 5th. Young Democrats didn't vote.
"seeks to"? already has, Donald Trump has driven a wedge into the post war Western alliance so great, it exposes Europe to Russian threat without any reasonable expectation of American defense participation. "seeks to", lady, your ass is showing, most of the european nations have no standing armies to contribute, no weapons stockpiles, and should be in full freak out prep mode to mount even a token defense. seeks to, already has man, act like it, start talking like it
After 157 years of friendship, with it spending 1.3% of Canada's GDP on defense, allowing for things like "free" healthcare for all your citizens, living under the protection of the American defense umbrella for the last 75, growing rich on trade, living free, then someone writes a song targeting all Americans, not Trump or even Republicans, which is stupid enough, but then y'all think it so neet you post it, and upvote it? Ok. My memory is long.
and yet, almost none of that has gone to defense, i mean you folks sure have got the best prisons in the world, and healthcare to beat the band, lot's of suicide though, but without the us as overwatch, or supplier of future weaponry to be used vs russia even on offer to purchase any longer, and without any standing army of any note, or much in the way of weapons stockpiles, and trump about to institute global reiprocal tarrifs sure to plunge the country and world into global depression (coincidentally) not seen since the 1930's, i wish you the best of fortune
Oh I think we're poised to do much worse than simply abdicating our position as leader of the Western alliance. Right now as we speak representatives from the United States and Russia are hashing out an agreement, without representation from Ukraine or any other part of Europe, which will see Russia immediately assume ownership over sovereign Ukrainian territory immediately, leaving the Russian army inside Ukraine to invade and take the rest anytime it likes. We're not gone neutral here, we're squarely on the side of the Russians.
the middle east eye is a purpose built antisemitic jihadist supporting israel targeting one issue rag, and it, like posting anything from al jazeera, gets you an autoblock
With these reciprocal tariffs, Donald Trump is about to plunge the world into the greatest economic global depression since the 1930's, just as Europe starts to think about maybe possibly upping their defense budgets
Well, yeah, but firstly Europe's gotta come up with the finances, and I don't believe societies built around yearly 5 week holiday time for their workers, and "free" health care for their citizens are going to allow massive sacrifices in those and so many other social services where the GDP will need to be funneled to purchase and fabricate the weaponry needed to enable Ukraine to continue to defend itself from the Russian war machine. That's not even taking into account, how much more of their GDP Europe is going to need to divert, to do the same for themselves. Now let's talk about fabrications and purchasing or weapons, and standing up massive boots on the ground conventional armies, Europe doesn't have that sort of expertise, or infrastructure, and the worlds largest arms producer is now likely off the table as an arms supplier for any fight with Russia. Europe is at least starting to make the right noises, though little concrete forward movement, still, yet I', pretty positive it's already way too late.
I dunno, the more I hear Not Like Us the more I think Kendrick Lamar is antisemitic and smearing not only Drake, but all Jews, and I think it sucks shit.
I think the funneling of new users to servers should be automatic on a next man (server) up basis, with the users ability to later pick which they wish to move to, if indeed they really care to move at all. Bluesky is one server, invites weren't the draw, but having to pick a server to access the fediverse is for sure one of the greatest impediments and users simply give up right away.
I think it will shock Europeans, but it will not shock me, how quickly Europe pivots from "Ukraine must be free" to cauterization. I think you vastly overestimate Europe's ability to defend, in a conventional boots on the ground non nuclear conflagration, itself without American weapons shipments both free and without those no longer able to be purchased, which are now going to be off the table, as well as pent up Russian insanity, now after 3 years of having their asses handed to them and yet still gaining huge sections of Ukraine while suffering enormous losses
