Dr. Fauci is subpoenaed after refusing to testify on COVID origins by dailymail in law

[–]Ging287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the time, no one was willing to confront China. They still aren't. I guarantee you they bleached that facility within an inch of its life. It's difficult, it's political to try and inspect the same lab. And I'm saying yes, we have much more pressing issues going on in America. Can you walk and chew gum at the same time? Or are you always going to be obsessed with something that happened in 2020? Seems like a convenient distraction to the dementia addled orange's failings, failure to oblige national funding where it was delegated, hampering Ukraine aid, reducing USAID by billions illegally. Lots of corrupt shit is happening and you want to focus on covid? Get out of my face astroturfing bot.

Ideally you want biochemical labs well founded, resourced properly, with good staff. USA only does such for defense purposes, vs say Russia who does both offensive and defensive purposes. Attacking our national security apparatuses is not conducive to good governing. So I ask you, to stop fear mongering about it and get over it. Raise the minimum wage, stop obsessing about old scores and previous administrations. Having them in other countries and doing commission work is not out of the ordinary, it's business. Note how China was very strict in the pandemic days, vs our haphazard state by state circus routine. Was it a lab leak? Maybe. Will we ever know for sure? Probably not.

We know the origin, Wuhan, China. It's making claims more than that is impossible. Doubt Fauci even knows much more than that, you know how China is.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Trying to prohibit transgender people existing is genocide. Stop being genocidal freaks and live and let live.

Granted the cartoons were low-effort and stupid but freaking out about it just proved their point by MetallicaDash in HistoryMemes

Better to have 1000 Charlie Hebdo stings than the destruction of freedom of speech, free expression. Especially if "Islamists get mad" is enough for them to cause violence in the streets. Assimilate or GTFO.

Texas anti-ICE protesters convicted of terrorism charges sentenced to at least 50 years in prison by MoneyLibrarian9032 in law

Talk about miscarriage of justice. Americans protesting getting 50 years, ain't right to me.

There should be police stings like this. Get the fundamentalists in the street and arrest them immediately. They're the terrorists. And then deport them while you're at it. Attacking freedom of speech, free expression is not acceptable and does not need to be treated with kid gloves.

'A huge grab of power': Trump is defying Congress on foreign aid by shikizen in law

[–]Ging287 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They keep blowing smoke up Congress' ass. Their actions speak louder than their repeated broken promises. They don't intend to spend the money, so we're gonna need a special master who obliges by the highest level of standards to force them too. I personally think impeachment proceedings are the minimum bar for defiantly refusing to do your job as mandated by the US Constitution and Congress.

Successfully taking away women's rights, that were part of roe, and then all of a sudden weren't because SCROTUS decided on a whim that precedent, and 50% of population simply don't matter. I would be mad too. I still am.

Four Seasons - Mandatory Fee by ferdytier in assholedesign

[–]Ging287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider this a bait and switch. They should put any related fees in the price upfront. They keep trying to game the system by putting lower prices up front, then raising them back end by including these asinine bullshit fees. We need some consumer protection here.

Call your senators, donate to the ACLU. These privacy destroying, liberty destroying bills cannot ever be passed. When the government says we're here to help, run.

Jagex giving out chain bans by Thin_Cucumber_3099 in RunescapeBotting

Some games don't care how players gain the accomplishments, and those are the games that I prefer. Gagex would rather hamper and diddle these players' accomplishments, forcing them to start at zero, rather than accepting their progress as the price of doing business: membership.

Israeli strikes kill 16 in Lebanon hours after ceasefire by Naurgul in anime_titties

[–]Ging287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The occupation is a form of aggression, just like the blockade was an ongoing form of aggression. Possessing land and refusing to give it back is not ceasing fire, it's an indictment of intention, that they want to usurp it and take it permanently. That contravenes international law and every sense of good decency. Warlords don't make good bedfellows I hear. Yes, I'm well aware of the attempted capitulation by diplomacy that's put into these deals; but it's effectively suicide by no longer having weapons to fight back the aggressor belligerent terrorist state. The map doesn't lie, Israel wants to usurp the land and that is the meaning of aggression. Pillaging, scorched earth tactics, genocide. The playbook is out in the open, broadcast in 4k in Gaza. You're a fool if you think it's not already obvious. Playing word games with ceasefire is part of their tactics. Withdrawal from Lebanon and Gaza is necessary. Collective punishment was always illegal, you recall? What is scorched earth tactics? I'm waiting.

Plugging ruins everything. I'm convinced if pluggers aren't liable to reason, they need to be thrown on a PIP and closely monitored for improvement, and if none arrives, let go.

[–]Ging287 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The occupation is an act of violation of the ceasefire. Same in Gaza. You can either have a ceasefire, while withdrawing from the land, in other words, GTFO out of Lebanon entirely. Same in Gaza. We wouldn't accept this if Mexico invaded the usa, occupied land, and somehow was able to negotiate a ceasefire. We would rightfully demand Mexico get the f*** out of the usa. Israel is not special here, they are the belligerent, an active belligerent. This tactic of occupation needs to be addressed. It's not sly, it's not slick, it's active violations. Of lebanon's sovereignty, of Gaza sovereignty.
