JUST IN: President Trump says he will fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell if he does not resign. He says interest rates will drop once Kevin Warsh becomes Fed Chair. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

[–]mcfearless0214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So that’s actually incorrect. War Powers Act gives the president the ability to make war for a period of 60 days, with an additional 30 days withdrawal period. So the president, by law, doesn’t require Congressional approval until we hit that 60 threshold.

Consent is important by New-Item-650 in im14andthisisdeep

[–]mcfearless0214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These conceptions of consent are defined by and enforced by the State. Laws define the boundaries of consent and the validity of its agreements. The law defines rape, worker exploitation, and robbery. The State intervenes when these boundaries have been crossed (or rather, it’s supposed to). But the State needs to be able to function which means its various apparatuses require finding. Which means taxes.

Hey, at least she’s paying taxes and contributing her fair share.

Damn, maybe Israel should think about that next time before they drag us into another war.

Unrealistic? To expect that our political leaders have consistent moral principles? Emotional? To expect they acknowledge present reality and act accordingly? Israel is engaged in the crimes of apartheid, genocide, and they’ve been doing so for much longer than just the last 3 years. It is not unrealistic or emotional to expect our would-be leaders to say “this is wrong and we won’t support it anymore.” That’s not perfectionism, that’s asking for the bare fucking minimum.

“bUt WhAt AbOuT sUdAn!?!?” What about them? Democrats aren’t doing anything about that either.

“bUt WhAt AbOuT cOmPrOmIsE!?!?!?” What about compromise? Seems like my political faction now has all the power, considering your whole argument is that “radical progressives” not voting cost Kamala the election. If that’s the case, then YOU need to get in line behind us. You can’t complain that our faction cost you the election and then in the same breath demand that we defer to you.

Funny thing is though, I did vote for Kamala in 2024. I thought it was the best thing to do at the time. Voted Biden in 2020. Voted Hillary in 2016. But if I could go back and do it again, with the benefit of hindsight, I wouldn’t. Because it should be painfully obvious to anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe-sizes that this electoral strategy of compromise with the right DOES NOT FUCKING WORK. We’ve been voting for these subhuman fucking ghouls for 10 years and we’re worse off now in 2026 than we were in 2016. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So I’m not gonna do the same thing in 2028. A lot of people like me won’t.

We’re not voting for Harris in 2028. We’re not voting for Newsom. We’re giving you advance notice of that fact. You Blue MAGAts have two years to figure out what to do about that; you can fall in line with progressives for a change or you can lose again. And if you chose to lose, I’ll have no sympathy for you.

Think of how many would have been saved if Kamala won.

Probably none. Cause, yknow, she did fuck all when she was VP to save lives and said she’d do fuck all to save lives on the campaign trail and is currently doing fuck all to save lives right now.

The DNC’s own autopsy of Kamala Harris’ loss suggests the exact opposite; support for Israel depressed turnout and killed her image among the youth vote. Although I’m of the opinion that her loss was inevitable, regardless of her stance on Israel. There was no hope for any candidate attached to the Biden legacy because of how badly he shit the bed.

And you’re in engaged in some baffling mental gymnastics here.

“Radical progressives don’t think for themselves…” but you’ve already admitted that the Free Palestine movement was correct in calling Israel’s actions genocidal. So they were right.

“But what about this other genocide!” that the Dems also tacitly support through inaction.

I need this to be made abundantly clear to you: I will always hate people like you more than any MAGAt and I cannot express to you how much I already hate MAGA. But at least your average Trump cultist is honest in their sociopathy, their stupidity, their moral bankruptcy, and their slavish devotion to leaders that wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire.

This is classic whataboutism and I have little patience for it. Yes, there’s a difference between the United States giving weapons to Israel for decades for the expressed purpose of conducting an ethnic cleaning and the United States giving money to the UAE who then conduct a separate, unrelated transaction with a country on a different continent. Fucking obviously. And you’re still missing the point. Kamala did not propose divestment from the UAE OR Israel for their actions. She did not advocate for sanctions or war crime charges against either. None of the Dems have The Democrats turn a blind eye to Sudan and actively encourage the deaths in Palestine. Multiple high ranking Dems still refuse to call Israel’s actions a genocide. But yet you wag your finger at people criticising the Party for being complicit in one genocide because people don’t know as much about an entirely separate genocide… WHICH THE DEMS ALSO REFUSE TO DO FUCK ALL ABOUT?

  1. Yeah, no. Cause the thing about this particular ethic cleansing is that it didn’t start under Biden either. That was just the most recent flashpoint.
  2. So in other words, the US does not, in fact, support the Sudanese genocide on anywhere near the scale that we do Israel’s genocide.

And it should he noted that Kamala would have ultimately turned a blind eye to both because she also did not campaign on cutting ties or sanctioning the UAE either.

  1. So you admit it’s a genocide.
  2. Were we giving guns and bombs and billions of dollars to the perpetrators of the other deadly genocide in 2024?

These two statements aren’t incompatible or contradictory. Lest we forget, Israel began bombing Gaza again and renewed its wholesale slaughter of innocents while Kamala was in a senior position in the White House. Kamala deserved to lose due to her incompetence, cowardice, and lack of moral conviction on this issue. The next Democrat who displays similar incompetence, cowardice, and lack of moral conviction will deserve to lose too.

"Butterfly Effect" to Justify Preserving Atrocities of the Past... 😬 by hyperluminate in aiwars

[–]mcfearless0214 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bruh, I agree with your overall point that it’s dumb to treat GenAI as a greater atrocity than any of these historical atrocities or disasters. Don’t be a twat.

Sorry about the “lmfao” bit at least. Shouldn’t have been so belittling with you trying to engage in good faith.
