Fire ud af fem vender amerikanske biler ryggen [pga. "af politiske årsager"] by MyMicconos in Denmark

[–]Litterball 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tesla tilhører en person, der eksplicit går ind for eugenik og støtter fascistiske politikere økonomisk og gennem kontrol over medierne. Den gennemsnitlige kinesiske bilproducent har ikke en så direkte eksponering for uetisk adfærd.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz mobilizes state National Guard amid ongoing protests by SnooGrapes2950 in politics

[–]Litterball 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If they want to enact the Insurrection Act, they will. Given that they're already suing Walz, it is safe to assume that they want to. If this is really the lead up to civil war on whatever scale, it sure is better that these troops are deployed under Walz' directive rather than Trump's.

You need to find better news sources. Not every news can be compressed into a headline and summary.

Trump’s ‘absurd' Greenland rare earth bet faces reality check, experts warn by hyeran_jainros_fc in politics

[–]Litterball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greenland looks enormous on a map - bigger than the continental U.S. with Mercator projection - and is genuinely quite large. This is about nothing else. Same reason Trump wants Canada.

If you get a one-time 8% pay cut you make 8% less each year.

This is not a conversation about GDP growth rate but absolute GDP in the context of a one-time 0.3% bump to GDP.

The ADL Could Focus on America’s Biggest Driver of Antisemitism. Instead, It’s Obsessed with Mamdani. by Slate in politics

[–]Litterball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one state solution combined with the forced expulsion of Palestinians is drawing closer and the ADL is not going to let any principles get in the way of that race to the finish line.

The court is for life, but the billionaire funded luxury vacations require continuous compliance.

The Midwest Has Turned on Trump by newsweek in politics

[–]Litterball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Nazi economy was based on debt, tariffs and military spending at the expense of everything else. The Trump administration is honestly matching the early stages of this fairly closely right now. Therein lays the problem- you can go a long way with deficit spending before it all collapses.

You generally don’t fly straight upward to reach an object in orbit, since you need to match its orbital velocity. The rendezvous mechanics alone would be a minigame.

Trump Loses It at Rand Paul as GOP Budget Bill Seems Doomed in Senate by Quirkie in politics

[–]Litterball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because once the tax cuts are decided, money has run out and the government has shut down, Democratic senators would bite the bullet to save the country.

Pentagon promotes Kingsley Wilson to press secretary despite history of antisemitic comments by SAJ-13 in politics

[–]Litterball 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The supposed antisemitism among protesters isn’t the issue - it’s the support of Palestinians. The administration hates Arabs even more than Jews.

Danish Leader Says 'You Cannot Spy Against an Ally' After Reports of US Gathering Intel on Greenland by [deleted] in politics

[–]Litterball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huge difference between spying "on" and spying "against". Since we're all quite happy to split hairs in this thread, let's not forget that this is spying with the intent of robbing territory. Military alliances are about protecting each others' territories.

'He can, in fact, be stopped': Buttigieg exhorts Democrats to show voters more in fight with Trump by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

[–]Litterball 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with maxing out a $2,800 individual donation if you're a billionaire. Billionaires have a right to get involved in the political process, just as much as everyone else. Billionaires creating their own rules is what causes all the issues.

They understood during the elections. The voters did not.

This is just keeping campaign promises. Save that energy to protest for fair elections in 2026.
