kent_eh,

When has blowing up a religious building served to reduce the intensity of conflict?

As China and Iran hunt for dissidents in the US, the FBI is racing to counter the threat (apnews.com)

After a student leader of the historic Tiananmen Square protests entered a 2022 congressional race in New York, a Chinese intelligence operative wasted little time enlisting a private investigator to hunt for any mistresses or tax problems that could upend the candidate’s bid, prosecutors say....

kent_eh,

India had a Sikh activist killed in Canada a year or so ago. And Modi predictably freaked out when publicly called out on it.

Arrests were recently made in that case.

The secret service will never let him go to jail with the commoners.

There’s a motion being proposed to remove secret service for any individual who gets themselves convicted of a felony.

Of course the Republicans will ensure that it will fail to be passed, but it’s still an interesting thing to think about.

kent_eh,

If Microsoft announces that this is going to be forcibly installed on all versions of Windows, then we can grab our pitchforks

Complaining when it is already released is too late to stop it.

kent_eh,

“Appalling and unhinged” describes the vast majority of things Trump has said in the last decade or 2.

kent_eh,

and the dimbulb trucker army in canada.

And, despite how they tried to label themselves, most of those people weren’t truckers.

And the real working truckers I know were piised off that the covidiot convoy was giving them a bad name.

kent_eh,

Trump and his allies are laying the groundwork to contest a potential loss

He did that in the run up to the 2016 (and 2020) election as well.

Trump has always claimed that if he doesn’t win it must be because someone (other than him) was cheating.

kent_eh,

Especially in the Middle East and a large proportion of Africa?

Are you aware of Mike Johnson and the people who enable him?

kent_eh,

Hmm…wonder if this has anything to do with the settlements on them airing false election claims.

I have to assume Fox’s staff have had some pretty pointed training sessions from their corporate lawyers to try and prevent another costly lawsuit loss.

kent_eh,

You’d think, as a lawyer himself, that Costello would know better than pissing off the judge.

I guess he’s just another in the long history of Trump hiring the worst lawyers.

kent_eh,

As long as he doesn’t super obviously foment violence then he’s not getting sued.

Fox doesn’t want to be dragged into that lawsuit for enabling Trump.

And they know that when he gets on one of his rants, it can go off the rails in all sorts of unpredictable (and legally risky) ways.

kent_eh,

seriously doubt the USA will exist in 50 years

As someonenin a country that shares a land border with the Americans, I am increasingly concerned about the instability (and likely violence) that will accompany that impending collapse.

I hope sanity can prevail, but it’s looking pretty bleak.

kent_eh,

menace me with a knife

Regardless, a knife isn’t any risk to innocent people across the street from the intended victim. A gun on the other hand…

kent_eh, (edited )

I don’t see how you can in good faith be participating in an election

Thats the thing, Trump and the MAGAts aren’t participating in good faith.

kent_eh,

The US government has never been supportive of the ICC.

And has always been a strong supporter of Israel no matter what they are doing.

kent_eh,

Meanwhile the mis/dis-information campaigns continue to roll along at an ever accelerating speed around the world.

kent_eh,

Assuming it works the way Google says it does,

There was a time when I trusted Google to be open and honest.

But that time is long in the past.

kent_eh,

Kind of stands out to me more than the Canadian bit

After being in the US for 20 years, they can keep him.

kent_eh,

Call me old fashioned, but I still go to bricks-and-mortar stores to compare a few options when I’m making an important or expensive purchase.

Yes, that is getting increasingly difficult these days.

kent_eh,

The farming equipment exemption smells like John Deere’s lobbies have been involved.

kent_eh,

Matryoshka diaper

kent_eh,

I feel bad for the staff who have to enforce this bull shit.

When they try, shit like this happens:

kent_eh,

If your society is bickering over which way it should kill the condemned, you’ve already ceded the moral high ground.

Well said.

kent_eh,

Definately war crimes.

kent_eh,

Being able to operate at expert level in one area of endeavor doesn’t guarantee that you will be at that same level in all things you do.
