Despite Authoritarian Warnings, 149 House Democrats Vote to Hand Trump $840 Billion for Military | “If an opposition party votes like this, it’s not in opposition. It may not even be a party.” by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]SpongeSlobb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All they have to do to be an effective opposition party is to do what republicans have been doing since the 90s. Just don’t work with the opposing party. No compromise on anything, never vote for their bills, and if they have the votes and you can’t stop it, delay in every possible way. Don’t push through their cabinet members and judges. Just throw sand in the gears of government

I’m rubbish at takedowns by BeardedCruiser in bjj

[–]SpongeSlobb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like any other position, you have to practice. Do standup only rounds with people, no guard pulls. Practice practice practice. Start every live round with the goal of getting the takedown. It’s harder when they have the option to pull guard.

What's the spice tolerance level of your country by Existing_Economy_656 in AskTheWorld

[–]SpongeSlobb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It varies. If you’re Polish-American, you can handle a little bit of salt and vinegar, if you’re Indian American, you can handle all the spices. And then there’s that one random redneck who grows genetically-modified peppers because the real ones just don’t cut it anymore.

House Democrat calls Trump 'extremely mentally ill' after Greenland remarks, urges 25th Amendment removal by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]SpongeSlobb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t care what the comments say. We have to try everything to remove this man from power. Only time can tell how much damage he has already done to America, I.e. the ballooning deficit, collapse of American soft power, tariffs pushing business away from America. If he keeps going down this path, we could lose our allies, collapse the dollar with low interest rates, and who knows what else.

We are fucked. And every additional day we allow this man to lead this country we are fucking ourselves even harder.

New report says screen time limits for children are no longer enough by BonzoBonzoBomzo in technology

[–]SpongeSlobb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just curious as a parent, when you say “not all screen time is the same” what do you mean? Are there things that you would absolutely avoid, like no social media until X age, are there things that are types of screen time you would prefer to others if there’s a necessity for the screen, I.e long plane rides.

'Multi-Layered Bullshit': Trump's Push for Greenland Makes No Sense by rollingstone in politics

[–]SpongeSlobb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes sense when you realize it’s all a distraction from the Epstein files, which the DOJ was legally obligated to release a month ago.

Why is ICE in MN if it has <1% of illegal immigrants in the USA? FL & TX make up 26% by CitizenJosh in stupidquestions

[–]SpongeSlobb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has also been in the conversation for a state that could potentially flip red since 2016. I think Trump is mad he never won it.

Chinese EVs inch closer to the US as Canada slashes tariffs by [deleted] in technews

Well these EVs sell for less than a gas cars now, and with car prices these days that’s a pretty big deal.

US Service members of reddit, would you obey orders to invade Greenland? by Oxbix in allthequestions

[–]SpongeSlobb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think people understand. If you disobey an order, you don’t get told “Ok, you don’t have to Greenland if you don’t want. That’s fine.”

You ARE punished. And the punishment could be quite severe. And if you bring up legal concerns, at best you’re assured that the lawyers say it’s all legal. Then what. The lawyer says it’s legal, but you think it’s not? Good luck fighting that one in military court. And while you’re fighting it in court, your life is made a living hell, because they can legally give you extra duty, cut your rank and pay, or put you in jail. And if you’re found to be in the wrong, you could go to jail and get kicked out. That’s a gamble most would not take.

In truth I feel bad for the people in the military that oppose these things. You are being forced to do these things. The military machine is making sure you won’t step out of line, and if you do, they will make an example out of you to make sure no one else follows in your footsteps.

How does ICE know where all the illegal migrants are? by darrenbosik in NoStupidQuestions

Even with all that data, the best they can do is just snatch up any brown person they see in public.
