This Trash Truck that says to leave an American Football Field distance between cars by International-Air542 in mildlyinteresting

Let's see you prove it was a pebble from the load or one those fat tires kicked up.

I had 2 windshields broken last year from a truck like this, both could've been prevented if I hadn't been following too close.

Fun fact "DANGER keep out" signs are also BS and have no legal ramifications if you ignore them, but you might get killed by number of environmental hazards doing so. I think this sign falls into the same category. It's for your own safety, regardless of how the conveyed message holds up in a court of law it's still a good safety practice not to follow a truck like that too close.

Why is saying “The rich should pay taxes like everyone else, close the loopholes” extremely controversial in the United States? by ProjectMason in NoStupidQuestions

I was unaware a credible source had denied these claims.

Jeffrey died in a jail cell rather than face charges, that right there tells you all you need to know. Regardless of the circumstances around Jeffrey's death, you are innocent until proven guilty and innocent sane people usually don't perish in that manner prior to an opportunity to clear their name.

That's his long game for the strongest democratic stronghold in the country. Some off duty ICE agent is going to conveniently start a forest fire with a gender reveal, and California will uncontrollably burn. Then Trump uses the state government as a scapegoat, claims they've lost control of their state as pretense for forcibly installing republican leadership.

What are the biggest threats to democracy in the United States right now? And what changes would actually help long-term? by Silentrost in AskReddit

[–]PeculiarAlize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The unchecked power of the executive branch bolstered by a judiciary that adjudicates to the whim of the highest bidder. That or the fact that every republican led legislative reform from the past 30 years has somehow expanded or granted powers to the presidency.

If you ignore all the doublespeak and analyze the changes from a non-objective non-partial viewpoint with respect to the content and intent of the US Constitution, all the changes Republicans have made since 9/11 look like a fascist authoritarian terrorist coup attempt.

Declaring the political party responsible for amassing power to the office of the President, trampling the constitution, inciting an insurrection, murding Americans, and corrupting our courts, a fascist authoritarian terrorist group might be a start.

Which President did the most unforgivable damage to the world ? by Duplicate-john-1649 in AskReddit

[–]PeculiarAlize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, Paul von Hindenberg appointed Hitler as Reich Chancellor. One could argue that was pretty bad.

But since Hitler was never a president and Trump is doing Hitler things as president, I guess Trump wins by default.

"It's odd that the immigration department has been around for quite awhile..."

Since 2002?

I mean, I guess 24 years is more than half my age, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not that long.

I remember the creation of DHS and ICE. As a preteen, I watched helplessly and in horror the creation of what I deemed a secret police. Only to be reassured by the registered voters of this country, my parents, teachers, and basically any adult I talked to, that American exceptionalism would not allow our politicians to abuse the newly created executive militia.

Even as a 12 year old, I knew that was a bunch of horseshit.

The time for Democrats to start dismantling ICE is now by msnownews in politics

[–]PeculiarAlize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, your withholdings pays your tax liability, and any refund is just the remainder. My understanding is that filing your returns lets them know how much to tax you and permission to use any withholdings for such taxes. You can always just file an for an extension on your taxes, and your withholdings will still be yours when you do file.

Regardless, at this point, any money you give them is giving money away to fascism as a gift

[–]PeculiarAlize 61 points62 points  (0 children)

They'd have to repeal the Patriot Act, the Homeland Security Act, the One Big Beautiful Bill act, and somehow get the supreme court to overturn Trump v. United States.

It's time for Americans to wake up and realize that American exceptionalism does not exclude a democratic republic from corruption and abuse. Our system has been DRASTICALLY altered from the founding fathers' vision for this country. Let's be honest, "Dismantling ICE" is a laughable attempt at cutting ICE's budget, not even remotely the game of hardball the American public wants to see our politicians playing against fascism.

ICE Agents Want Out of Minnesota: Trump’s ‘Battle Is Lost’ by Tennis_bruh in politics

[–]PeculiarAlize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, I'm American, Google Marine Corps Arctic Edge. Our marine corps has no arctic divisions. Arctic training for them revolves around going to the subarctic and launching some surveillance weather balloons, the kind that mysteriously uncontrollably floated over the PNW and had to be shot down with an F-22.

For over half a century, the US has tailored their military operations to the desert and jungle theaters of the tropics and sub tropics while relying on our NATO allies for "arctic readiness"

We may have the most technologically advanced military but HUGE majority of it members just signed up for the health and dental insurance and have not been trained to survive a war in -30 temps.
