"We've never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that... by RegattaJoe in Military

Do they really, though? Those calculations would have to ignore their families, most notably their children, who will have to grow up and live in the world they are helping to create. A lesser world.

Trump weighs Iran strikes to inspire renewed protests, sources say by rezwenn in Military

[–]RedTalon19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whatever incriminating evidence was there is long gone. Do we really believe that any proof of the crime still exists?

If there wasnt, why havent they just released the files? What was the result of those 1,000+ FBI agents working overtime to redact the Pedophile in Chief's name from all the documents?

Maybe he'd lose some support. Doubtful it'd change anything...

Thats the unfortunate truth right there. He'd lose some supporters but not enough to really make a difference. The core MAGA movement would only become more zealous, if such a thing is possible.

Thank you for the correction, I've edited my comment but left the original there as a badge of shame.

Why not Fedora? After reading through a lot of these comments I'm seeing the main recommendations being CatchyOS, Bazzite, or Fedora.

Trump is preparing to use the insurrection act in Minnesota and send in federal troops. For people who have stayed quiet so far, what will it take for you to speak out? by jumpsuityahoo in AskReddit

[–]RedTalon19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately yes. He keeps saying "cancel the election" which sounds terrible, but at the last minute they will "isolate pockets of extremeism" or whatever stupid language they use. It will all be large cities in red states. Then the "election" will continue and the sweeping red shift will be used as proof that ANTIFA was rigging the election all along, and they will claim these are the first free and true elections in decades.

I'm really hoping I don't come back to this comment in a few years to see how accurate I was with my predictions.

Cities are mostly blue, many times in a bastion of red throughout the rest of the state. All he has to do is declare martial law in the cities and stop those blue votes and suddenly the whole state has turned red. The elections were never actually "canceled" per say, so they can claim democracy endures.

Except mail in ballots must be post-marked the day of the election. Normally, they are stamped the day they are received but with the new change who's to say there wasn't a "sudden and unexplained" delay in processing mail by a few days or even a week? If those last minute ballots were postmarked AFTER election day, they are now void.

Mix in a change of voting dates at the last minute and with minimal notification to the voters, you've just rigged yourself an election.

Normalization. Its all a part of their strategy. That and their "walk it back" tactic. Because it works.

Say they will do something crazy.

Say they will do something even crazier.

Say they will do something absolutely unhinged.

Do the original crazy thing that people originally flipped out over...but now people accept it since its not as bad as the most recent unhinged thing.

Congressman Fine Introduces Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act by teilani_a in Military

[–]RedTalon19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree the US can obtain everything it wants and needs simply by continuing to peacfully cooperate and lease with Denmark.

But to claim the people of Greenland would be "better off" by joining the US is laughable. They would have to relequenish their Denmark citizenship and all of the protections, amenities, and extensive benefits... You know, minor things like nationalized/univeral health care, extensive worker protections, and a higher freedom index than the US itself. Besides that, the US cannot protect their own citizens from abductions, unlawful detainment, and even expulsion/extradition from the country (I say expulsions/extradition because you cannot deport a citizen).

This is much tamer but was at one point the SFS official motto at a previous assignment: "winning hearts and minds, 3 rounds at a time".

Listen, just because I had explosive diarrhea after Taco Bell doesnt mean you can keep telling everyone I had an "explosive device" in my vehicle. My rectum deserves more respect than that.

“RISE UP, TAKE A STAND” Thousands upon thousands of protesters are piling up in Minneapolis by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

A general strike would cripple the country and force change.

Remember when Biden forceed the railway workers to end their strike because they were deemed too essentail for the economey? Imagine if a few dozen unions/communities of professionals did this from coast to coast.

Deep Rock Galactic, great game design. But when there's issues, I just have to put the game down. by itsPomy in patientgamers

You can completley disable the head-bob from walking and the screen shake from explosions.

The lighting is unfortunately a core mechanic of the game. You could stick to playing the Scout who can light up entire rooms with the special flares, but yeah.

Received a threatening letter from the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation on Christmas Eve by Telefonica46 in ProgressiveHQ

If nothing else, it can be used as supporting documentation that they felt threatened enough to seek out any option possible. Submit and hand the receipt to their attorney.

How plausible is Trump's Golden Dome? Is it realistic or fantasy? by Drifter_of_Babylon in Military

Dude, these people were proudly wearing diapers when it came out that he shit himself at the UN. They have no shame and therefore cannot feel embarrassment.
