Remember when Trump said he's very rich and doesn't need donations from outside sources?

Yes, and there's precedent that he can still run even if he's imprisoned.

Debs ran for president in the 1920 election while imprisoned in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary.

Guilty on all 34 counts; sentencing happens July 11. He could face jail time, the secret service would accompany him to prison if so.

It's good to see the rule of law is still alive and well in America. My appreciation to the prosecution and jurors for their service.

They like him because of it, not despite it.

Today they have something like 7 minutes to decide whether to launch a retaliatory strike if missiles are en route if recall correctly, 12 hours seems like a luxury.

I'm sure these drones have GPS on them to find anyone who fucks around like that.

Interesting read.

Even without the saltwater problem, drinking from the end of the Ganges sounds pretty bad considering how polluted that river is.

I have a hard time understanding the mentality of people having kids while complaining, there's not enough fresh water.

I suppose it's good that most of the local water supply here in ca comes from mountain snowpack melts.

the only animal who produces milk is a cow

Some kids are gonna go hungry, no goats milk for ewes.

Should I permanently leave Israel?

I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes. I’m an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I’ve become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety...

That's entirely subjective and up to you, however, I feel like I should point out we're dealing with our own erosion of democracy issues in the United States as well.

Hard to say, as it isn't yet publicly traded.

Well now it all makes sense, they think making America great is reverting to the mentality of children.

Instead Of Banning Books, Idaho Library Decides To Ban Kids In Response To New Law On ‘Inappropriate Books’ (www.techdirt.com)

Public libraries are supposed to be places for communities to gather and learn, with an important focus on being a place for kids to gain access to information. But thanks to a moral panic in the GOP about “indoctrination” in libraries, it seems that at least one library has decided to shut its door to children....

I guess they'll just have to do research on the internet now, good thing there's no pornography on the internet

Garbage in, garbage out. These agents clearly need to be trained on credible, quality information and not social media shitposts by morons.

This asshole went out of his way to demonize all of fast food, when he hid his alcoholism away and instead blamed fast food. Like for his liver problems. Fast food doesn't do that. Alcohol does. BIG FUCKING CLUE!

Actually, sugars have a very similar metabolic pathway to alcohol, (the presentation is a bit long but it's fascinating and worth it in my opinion,) and many of the same negative health effects apply. They both have to become fat in your liver before they can be turned into energy.

Well, that's a shame. For those who haven't seen it, the first episode of 30 days that he created was probably one of the most impactful documentaries I've seen, it follows a West Virginia mining family as they deal with some very serious shit. Worth watching.

These Teens Adopted an Orphaned Oil Well. Their Goal: Shut It Down. Students, nonprofit groups and others are fund-raising to cap highly polluting oil and gas wells abandoned by industry. (www.nytimes.com)

It’s a serious policy failure that this is happening; the people paying to cap wells should be the ones who became wealthy by extracting the oil, not a bunch of random teenagers.

The ccp stranglehold on electronics? Yeah I'm glad they're ruining that. At the end of the day, we might have a viable semiconductor business in the United States or in an allied country, which will leave us far better off.

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations (x.com)

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

Well that's good to hear, however, I still lost a lot of respect for LTT because of the whole billet Labs debacle.

Philanthropist who gave $30M to U Manitoba condemns 'hateful' valedictory speech, university for allowing it (www.cbc.ca)

The philanthropist behind the University of Manitoba’s largest-ever personal donation — $30 million — has denounced a speech made by a valedictorian for medicine grads and admonished the university for letting it happen....

Oh did you receive $30 million from him too? 🙄

Trump is undoubtedly bad for the US, like a brexit that only lasts 4 years, (hopefully.) He destroys our international credibility and will leave an indelible scar on our international relationships.

However, this statement doesn't make sense:

I like Trump, Biden's gonna support Israel and all sorts of other enemies to us and so fuck him, we like Trump.

Trump will give Israel a blank check, and he'll probably want to push the missile launch buttons himself if given the opportunity. He even recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
