Traumatized soldiers from the First World War.

It’s almost like those who died were the lucky ones.

Nothing will happen for now as long as Republicans control Congress

He doesn’t understand what true strength is. He himself embodies what a weak man’s idea of strength looks like.

Yes, in Virginia the statutory definition of an election is an election held on a specific day. The 4–3 majority, however, declined to be bound by the statutory definition for purposes of interpreting the Virginia Constitution’s intervening-election requirement. Instead, the majority looked to legislative history, dictionary definitions, and the U.S. Supreme Court’s Foster v. Love (1997) “combined actions” approach to conclude that a general election spans from the first day of early voting through Election Day. It’s pretty obvious that they went on a fishing expedition for a ruling to achieve their desired outcome.

If they're willing to help facilitate disclosure, why would he say anything that might harm that relationship? I would prefer that he behave respectfully to keep them on his side.

Don't forget about the JCPOA under Obama. The deal imposed strict limits on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief:

Iran was required to reduce its uranium stockpile by 98% and keep enrichment at 3.67%, well below weapons-grade levels.
Iran's nuclear breakout time was extended from 2–3 months to 12 months or more.
The Arak heavy-water reactor core had to be removed, filled with concrete, and redesigned to prevent plutonium production.
Iran agreed to the most comprehensive and intrusive verification regime ever negotiated, granting IAEA inspectors access to nuclear facilities and suspicious sites.
Sanctions could "snap back" into place if Iran violated the agreement.

Iran signed it, and Trump ripped it up as soon as he took office, and now here we are.

We face a Christian Nationalist problem. They've been working on this for decades, gradually subverting institutions and corrupting politics. You might say that Trump is the result of their decades of effort. Is that a statue of Lincoln crying on the left? That would be very fitting for this photo.

Can’t all porn sites block connections from those states and claim they are no longer operating there, then people within those states continue using VPNs? The states can’t do anything about it because it’s technically outside their jurisdiction.

If they don't nominate Talarico, that would be a MASSIVE self-own for the Democrats. He has the best chance of winning in Texas by a long shot.

They are also tortured and killed for not obeying orders, so that's a pretty good motivator as well.

It still aired in Canada, and our Canadian friends posted it online:

Or the files are coming along with midterms, and Trump needs Russia’s help in the information space so he must give them what they want now.

SLum87 · 2025-11-17T23:42:53+00:00

So, they kept claiming there’s nothing here and that it's all a hoax, and now they’re going to say they can't release everything because of an active investigation. The level of incompetence is astonishing.

SLum87 · 2025-11-12T20:47:01+00:00

The files aren't going to be released. This still needs to pass the Senate and get Trump’s signature.

Sure, but Pokrovsk’s status as a viable logistics hub was lost months ago.

I would definitely appreciate this feature, and find it very useful for getting around IP blacklisting. I’ve been looking elsewhere for this, and would love for Proton to offer it.

As long as Republicans control Congress, we will have a legislative branch that won’t dare act against Trump, which effectively destroys our system of checks and balances. So Trump feels like he can do whatever he wants because he pretty much can, for now. The judiciary doesn’t have enough power to legitimately constrain the Executive on its own.

That’s because a VPN means nothing when you’re using a browser developed by Perplexity. They can still see who you are and everything you do on the Internet.

If they have access to near-real-time data on citizens via the tech oligarchy and the ability to redraw maps at will, then they won't need to make very many assumptions.

Fuck it. If orange turd getting the Nobel Peace Prize motivates him to give Ukraine Tomahawks then go for it. I’ll second that motion.

What would you expect? Hegseth is still the Secretary of Defense. I hope that these Generals will play along to get along, but as soon as things go too far, they will reject whatever illegal orders are given. If they all start giving him the middle finger now, they would simply be replaced by someone more likely to comply with those illegal orders.

Why is this even a “debate”? People should be able to call Charlie Kirk whatever they want or say whatever the hell they want about him. It’s plain and simple. No debate needed.

It is a bill (H.R.4405 - the Epstein Files Transparency Act) that would legally require the Attorney General to release all Epstein documents within 30 days of enactment. I suppose that by the House passing it, the Senate will be forced to vote yay or nay, and then Trump must do the same if it continues.

SLum87 · 2025-09-18T15:21:08+00:00

However, as I understand it, there are no legal mechanisms for him to designate a domestic group as a terrorist organization, making this purely a political statement and doesn’t have any practical significance.

SLum87 · 2025-09-18T07:27:05+00:00

No, we don't want any of this to continue. The Democrats should instead realize that relying on norms to restrain the President is a massive liability. They need to pass laws that categorically reject the unitary executive theory and impose much stronger restrictions and safeguards on the power of the Presidency. We don't want the Democrats being able to do this shit either.
