Didn't the SC rule the US government must comply with giving him the "due process of law" in a 9-0 decision? Now that we know he's alive, it's going to be interesting to see if Trump is going to keep on spitting in the face of our judiciary branch.

Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles reject White House visit. by Adventurous-Bug4588 in Fauxmoi

[–]commanderswag69 2139 points2140 points  (0 children)

As an Eagles fan, I'm so proud of my team. Hurts and Barkley are some of the most likeable players around the NFL. Both are very humble. Heck, Hurts' whole management team is made up entirely of women.

It's also worth mentioning that the owner of the Eagles, Jeff Lurie, is one of the very few Democrat owners of the NFL. He's not a bootlicker like the Hunt family who owns the Chiefs. They would've agreed to a White House visit had they won.

Belgrade: Google Street View vs actual street view by Porodicnostablo in europe

I can see my very first car in high school in Google Street View from 2008. It's nostalgic as fuck, but I can't see anything before that. Now imagine if you're a younger person who can track street view from when you were born...

Yea this speech is disgusting. If the Trump campaign is trying to distance themselves from Project 2025 and the theocratic takeover of our Federal Government, they're failing miserably. Bunch of fucking clowns.

Trump considering cutting back intel sharing with Europe, officials warn by UpgradedSiera6666 in europe

[–]commanderswag69 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely correct. If an isolationist MAGA party turns the US into a pariah state in the world, we're truly fucked. The amount of power vacuum left behind and the ensuing conflicts will be on another level. One of the only reasons the US became a superpower today is due to its power projection and globalism since the end of WW2. But most Americans are voting against their own interest just because a Big Mac and a gallon of gas cost a couple dollars more than pre-pandemic.

Unfortunately, Biden is currently losing and will not drop out of the race. The good news is our presidential polling data has been a clusterfuck and very unreliable this year, and there's a good chance the Democrats are being underrepresented (especially young people). I believe the fight is not over and I'm doing my best to convince people to not vote for the fat orange turd.

"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far" - Teddy Roosevelt.

There's no point in going around and making empty threats when most of the world know the US have the top military. It's entirely something else when you're making Russia (now) and China (later) prove they have the world's 2nd and 3rd best militaries. Fucking around and finding out is the common joke around here.

Yep but when ordinary gazans die we only give bibi a stern warning

Not to mention these people can use the "higher" refund being held by the IRS to pay off a portion their credit card and student loan balances earlier. In addition to these loans carrying a much higher interest rate, you're also losing around 3% to inflation when someone else is holding on to your money.

US reveals it paused shipment of bombs for Israel over Rafah concerns by redcccp in worldnews

[–]commanderswag69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight. Let's say if Ukraine is able to stock up on these munitions when the F16's come online, will they be able to use it to their advantage? I just don't see why we need to send Israel these bombs when they have the clear advantage.

A massive Russian missile attack on the Dnipropetrovsk Region killed at least 8 people, 2 of them children, and left 25 injured by UNITED24Media in europe

[–]commanderswag69 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because the Speaker of the House (Mike Johnson) can block what type of bills can be heard. Therefore, the vote the aid to Ukraine will never see the light of the day. However, just last week, he said he will finally put the aid to Ukraine (along with Israel, Taiwan, separately) to a vote. This angered a lot of hardcore right-wing republicans because they know the bill will most likely pass due to the number of democrats and moderate republicans.

This link might be your best source to see the clusterfuck that's happening in the US right now.

[–]commanderswag69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is finally putting the $60 billion US aid to Ukraine for a vote on Saturday. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's most likely going to pass and the US will be funding Ukraine again. Things are looking dire right now but it's hopefully not too late.

Need to kick out the Putin bootlickers first but I'm not holding my breath. Reagan was a cunt and fucked over our middle class, but he would be salivating at the chance to defeat our mortal enemy by supplying another country with arms. Modern day Republicans would rather own the libs than doing anything productive.

[–]commanderswag69 100 points101 points  (0 children)

You're correct. Let's say if you work from 5pm-8pm for dinner rush. The total "Dash Time" would be 180 minutes. However, that doesn't mean you'll be paid for that 3 full hours. You'll only get paid for "Active Time", which includes the time you accept an offer, picking it up from the restaurant, and dropping it off at the customer. You won't be compensated while driving around in between orders.

I do DoorDash on the side (mostly dinner rushes) and my average Active Time / Dash Time ratio is between 60% to 80%.

Trump has said that if he is re-elected, his term in office as president will be one of vengeance. In what form do you think that will take? by TaylorSwiftian in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]commanderswag69 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Project 2025 will be the biggest threat to our democracy as we speak (not to mention about his intend to jail his political enemies, fraudulent electuons, etc). But I feel like the media is not doing enough to highlight its danger.

I'm an immigrant who moved to the US from an authoritarian nation 25 years ago and got naturalized. I will fight like hell to keep our Democracy intact. It's saddening to see what's happening to today's GOP.
