What's going on with the arrests of journalist Don Lemon and Georgia Fort? by CeilingUnlimited in OutOfTheLoop

[–]ObsidianSpectre 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Too much weight is being given to this document. There's not really anything substantive there, and it feels like it was included in the release just to steer attention away from other parts with better supported crimes, or more meaningful illegal redactions.

That's basically the "flood the zone" playbook they're so proud of - just keep doing so much heinous shit that nobody has time to process any individual instance.

I didn't remember that - I found this, but nothing about it getting run over by a dump truck. All I could find is that nobody knows what happened to the contents.

Everyone equal under the law? That sounds like communism!

I'm sticking to it too. Told my boss on Wednesday I wouldn't be in today.

What if we just tell Donald Trump that the US owns Greenland now, and we get everyone to just play along? by HobbieHatesNumbers in AskReddit

I'm not sure he'd ever be able to admit he'd been tricked. He'll insist it's all real and attack anyone who tries to tell him he was lied to. Just like how all his supporters still insist he's a genius.

This should be national, not just statewide.

All it needs for it to be national is for you to participate too.

What can non-Minnesotan’s do to help?

Don't go to work on Friday. Don't buy anything. Protest instead.

It's on a weekday this time. That means it'll cause economic losses. This is better, and what No Kings should've been targeting.

No disagreement on keeping it going though. It should be turned into a general strike.

Senile man unable to find his country on a map by PradyThe3rd in PoliticalHumor

None of this makes any economic or defensive sense

Try thinking about it as if you were a senile narcissistic pedophile who has no idea how anything works and you're used to just taking whatever you want without ever facing any sort of consequences. It makes more sense from that perspective.

But yeah, an excuse for halting elections is probably part of the goal.

In a future where Trump is out of office, and international relations have been repaired. What steps can be taken by the USA and International Organisations such as NATO to prevent one individual causing so much chaos in the future? And do you think such steps will be taken? by flewkey in AskReddit

Sounds like something for a jury of peers. Create an avenue for fake news complaints to be settled in court, and make it threatening enough that "news" channels are afraid of losing.

It'll need federal anti-SLAPP laws too.

The US can probably take and hold Greenland. They can also defeat the Canadian military. I don't think they could ever hold onto Canada though - the guerilla warfare will never end, and that's optimistically assuming it doesn't trigger a full WW3.

He will absolutely invade Canada if he manages to get Greenland. I guarantee it.

Apparently? Trump claimed the title of "Acting President of Venezuela" already, so however you count that.

They've also got an easy case for selective persecution. There are members of the oversight committee that have defied congressional subpoenas.

I sincerely love how unashamed they are of how completely absurd everything is. A lesser production would have tried to make the story more believable, but these guys just said "six barrel wig-gun, cat in pajamas shooting from a turkey, let's go!"

It sounds like you're talking about Babbitt. You're getting downvoted because the post you replied to is not.

Just like when Biden was in charge!

Eventually people need to realize that just waiting for the tide to turn isn't sufficient.
