Because they still believe "put in your time and wait your turn" is how the world works
They're never going to learn. It's time to tea party them, by 2028 we need a strong enough progressive faction to force them to cooperate or be replaced
No, we need the Democratic party... Or their corpse at least
We don't have time to build the infrastructure and entrench a third party. That shit is extremely complicated and takes a lot of time and money.
There's a perfectly good one already, with name recognition and the right branding. It's just dickless and full of shit
So let's tea party it and take it over for the left. We just need a large enough progressive faction to force them to cooperate and actually do what the people have been screaming for
Hang up a big "under new management" sign and actually do things, and there you go... We get a party on the left again. It can be done next election
Yep... It also puts pressure on Bukele - I mean, remember his comments to the media
"I can't smuggle someone into the US, and I'm not willing to let them walk around my country, so I guess there's nothing to be done"
The man didn't say he wouldn't return them, he made it very clear the ball is in the US's court and he hasn't been asked to give him back. He said it was impossible to see the victim, and yet when a US senator still showed up they arranged all this
America is the customer buying a service here...a customer known for having a huge crew of assassins with lots of experience overthrowing South American countries
I'm completely serious, I have legitimate doubts about if Luigi is the adjuster. Everything about the arrest and (apparently illegally) collected evidence is extremely skechy.
After almost a week, the guy who escaped NYC cleanly (while leaving a backpack full of monopoly money in central park and signed bullet casings at the scene) is carrying around a signed confession and the murder weapon at McDonald's?
There's literally no other evidence than what they allegedly found on his person. The guy doesn't look that much like the person/people in the videos, the way they found him (an old man reporting to a cashier that a person with only their eyes visible looked like the shooter from the security cams) is sketchy as hell, and the evidence is straight up out of a police wet dream about the perfect arrest
This guy deserves a trial, like everyone does. The state apparently has no case against him at this point too
So why does every conversation start with assuming he did it?
I don't have much love for 4chan (I do like the curated green texts here, 5 minutes on the actual site was enough to never go back) but it makes me sad that a website is measured by profitability
I think in thoughts. It boggled my mind to learn this isn't how everyone thinks
Like, I don't have a running narrative in my head - words bubble up, but it's just like muttering, just occasional words. I only try to put them into sentences when I'm talking or imagining talking - like everything I write.
I don't read like this, which is part of why I'll terrible with names - if I read a book, I don't know how to say or spell a character's name until I try
If I had to describe it, it's like memories. If you think elephant, you might see an elephant, you might hear the word elephant - but on some level you also probably think about things related to the concept. Like memories of seeing an elephant, elephant facts, other African animals
That bundled concept is elephant to me - the word is how you say it, I can get the impression of looking at an elephant, I can hear their cry - but at the center of this web of details is an elephant
I build my thoughts by chaining these concepts together, and where they fit together is the main thread of the train of thought - I can then move my focus across this thread and the hanging threads to solve problems
Things just click together or they don't
If you tell me you feel like an elephant (and I have no idea what that could mean) I'd take the two concepts and try to draw threads between them. I cycle through concepts that feel in between them - elephant in the room, large/imposing, unforgiving, powerful - these loosely fit from elephant to your mental state. And from the other side, ugly, isolated/seen as an outsider/problem, or maybe you mean you literally feel like an elephant in a human body
Threads link between them or they don't, maybe I'm missing an intermediate concept I haven't yet associated with either and I have no idea what you mean
And that's how I think. If I had to link it to a sense, it's like proprioception - I'm moving through my thoughts and linking together connections, but it's my my own mind I'm moving through and around me
But ultimately, it's not words - there are concepts I don't know how to label, although words help me identify concepts
This authority is recognized in an obscure provision of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which govern proceedings in federal trial courts. Rule 4.1 specifies how certain types of “process” — the legal term for orders that command someone to appear in court — are to be served on the party to which they are directed. The rule begins in section (a) by instructing that, as a general matter, process “must be served by a United States marshal or deputy marshal or by a person specially appointed for that purpose.”
They can do this, there's a strong legal argument for it that goes far beyond just this... And where we are now that's enough she could act
It wouldn't make that person a marshall, they'd be a deputy. They're limited in the scope of what they can do, I'm not sure if they could be paid or how, it might break a whole bunch of norms - but it can be done
Yes, the Marshalls are. But hey could find Marshalls who take their oath seriously, or they could deputize whoever they like to enforce the court's ruling
No, that's noncompliance - and by completely misrepresenting the supreme court's order, they're playing chicken
The judiciary moves slowly. They have powers they're hesitant to use - they can order Marshalls to act and see who they obey, or they could deputize a bunch of retired special forces to enforce their decisions outside of the executive branch's control
It's not over... Not just yet, anyways. But it's very, very close - if the judiciary backs down, it's over. If the administration holds their ground until there's an armed skirmish, it's going to get very messy. If both sides keep up this back and forth without forcing a standoff, it could drag on for a while
Yes. Because all my life, we've been frogs in a steadily warming pot, and the heat has been cranked up to max
People are angry. People are protesting, doing vandalism with a prison sentence longer then murder, people are raging at their futures being cut off
Everything creates a reaction. The worse is gets, the faster it gets worse, the larger the reaction.
The best future is the one where people get so angry we stop. That's all it takes to kill the game - if enough people, even for a short time, stop playing - it all stops
The world is robust. Humans are robust. If we stopped killing both, everything could recover shockingly fast
Things will get worse, things are very bad already, but it's not over. I feel lighter every time the stock market drops, because it's imaginary but the hurt is real.
The more and faster the hurt, the more people will wake the fuck up and stop this
Oh, there's a cohesive plan behind it all right, but before you give them too much credit it's from the 1930's. The new part of the plan seems to be to basically do the 1930's again so they reuse the playbook
I understand that, but the wolves are living things that require expert care. This isn't some cat they can take home or some mouse they can quietly put down... They're stuck with them
If they kill them, they'd get death threats (people are already attached). If the wolves escape, they'd get protesters. People will likely come to try to see the wolves, the wolves will try to escape and become extra aggressive if they're understimulated
Good PR stunts don't require you to run a zoo for the next 14 years - and whether they allow guests or not, they'll need a team of people, including round the clock security, to take care of them
So unless they can sell them to someone, every success they have pushes them further into becoming Jurassic Park, but with less cool animals
Yep, she and Biden just disappeared after conceding. They bowed out so hard they ended up in hiding
I don't know why they're surfacing this week, but they can fuck back to the rock they crawled out from under
