Besides my initial impression that "this is all illegal," practically a given with any article about the executive branch these days, what I was most struck by was the fact that it wasn't one step above "let's bomb yemen lol XD."
Hegseth was the only one who sounded like an edge lord with the "loathing" and "PATHETIC" comments.
Here's what Hegseth said about actual journalist and editor-in-chief of the highly-regarded The Atlantic:
Hegseth also called Goldberg “a deceitful and highly discredited, so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again.”
"Members of both parties," and yet they only quote Democrats, except for one Republican who won his purple district representing Omaha by less than 6,000 votes. That district was the one Nebraska electoral vote that went for Harris.
Mm, but Trump is the cult leader. No one actually likes the rest of them and some would feel more capable about pushing back against Vance. Anyway, Trump, Musk, and Vance are all problems.
Former presidents, vice presidents, secretaries of state, etc. receive briefings because until recently they served as a kind of private advisory board to presidents and their successors. It was also, in a worst-case scenario, about continuity of government: if a nuke drops on DC, Obama could step in temporarily to help lead a transitional government.
Of course, Trump and his cabinet don't need advisors because they're all geniuses who know everything.
One of them, Reagan-era Justice Department attorney and Trump’s own former campaign lawyer Joseph diGenova, was furious about the release of his personal data. “I intend to sue the National Archives,” he told USA Today. “They violated the Privacy Act.”
When Hitler was in power and did something stupid, Nazi party members would first seek to blame external groups. When that was implausible, they would instead blame other members and groups within the Nazi party. There was a lot of infighting and finger pointing within the Nazi party because 1) well, first and foremost, it was a kakistocracy, and 2) because Hitler himself could never be blamed. So as a result, Hitler was frequently the victim of "bad counsel," or his orders weren't carried out "properly" (even if they were followed precisely).
When she wore a scarlet letter A:
"This is my signal to others that I don't answer to anybody up here," she said. "I only answer to the people back home."
When her constituents want to ask questions:
"We’re staying away because it’s not safe, and we refuse to be bullied by individuals who are threatening me, my employees, and my family."
The only thing you need to remember is that political parties, by law, cannot restrict candidates from running under that party banner. Superdelegates are how the Democratic Party leadership attempts to skirt this and put its thumb on the scale, but after the Clinton-Sanders debacle, their power was diminished.
An ideological takeover of the party is possible. It just requires progressive candidates to get elected.
You ain't gonna get arrested protesting in DC unless you start fighting with police or join a riot or something.
Good job taking action instead of just posting about it. Protests aren't just about free speech, they're also about building the muscle to take action, and building your network.
The actual URL is america2.news (whatever that is).
In this case it's because OP got the link wrong and added a ” (smart quote) to the end, and Lemmy encoded it in the same way that international domain names are encoded (like if it includes Chinese).
A prolonged depression might actually be the best thing for this country in terms of breaking the spell Trump has on people and realigning political parties. The biggest threat would be private ownership scooping up even more assets, so we'd have to get radical with solutions there.
$0.9 trillion is nothing compared to a $37 trillion national debt, even ignoring the fact that they just want to transfer our wealth to the rich.
It's not "creating new equity," it's visiting a loan shark and putting your body down as collateral. The national parks are ours, not theirs to do with as they please.
Also, the 15% stock drop is nothing compared to the decline in actual sales. The P/E ratio is still way too high, but the stock will drop eventually if this decline continues. Keep up the Tesla dealership protests too.
