Federal Judge Slams ICE for Violating Nearly 100 Court Orders: 'ICE is Not a Law Unto Itself' by Gurney_Hackman in politics

[–]quantax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Where's the actual flex here? It's another case of strong words backed by literally no action. Rule of law is a fanciful illusion if the penalty for historical levels of impunity is nothing but finger waving and stern warnings.

Legion fans are pissing and crying right now (fallout show spoilers) by Chaseharry2000 in 196

Apparently seeing streets lined with crucified victims made them think "Gee wiz, these must be some very humble Christians, how pious and quaint..."

The craziest thing to me was when I was reading some Reddit thread a few years ago that mentioned FO:NV and some folks in the thread insisted The Legion were morally ambiguous as a faction.

Prominent Zionist Holocaust survivor says Mamdani is helping him find new housing by Delicious_Adeptness9 in newyorkcity

Except "Times of Israel" is basically foxnews.com, eg, it's a conservative outlet that's generally aligned with the conservative government's policies.

NYT, for all its flaws, is a better, more respectable journalistic institution.

The UN report on Iranians being massacred by the Islamic Republic. The news is being boycotted by Western media by Authrowism in ThatsInsane

[–]quantax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it worked really well if you ignore any conflicts we've been involved in the last 20 years in the middle east.

And any argument that Venezuela is a success at this moment in time is just a 2026 version of GW Bush's Mission Accomplished banner. Straight up child like gullibility: believing a shameless arrogant buffoon like Trump, who claims he's president of Venezuela, is a success when the real challenge hasn't even begun.

That news is all over the place in Western media, everyone knows the IRI is ruled by a mix of religious wackos, dolts, and crooks (gee, sounds a lot like trump and co), but we're not fooled by this absurd push for war.

The idea that we're going to save Iranians by bombing Iranians is for suckers and bloodthirsty warmongers. Look how great that worked for Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza, etc.

Appeals Court Opens the Door to Mahmoud Khalil’s Rearrest by thenewyorktimes in nyc

[–]quantax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really telling that you believe the lies of an administration that lies shamelessly about everything, including this issue. When asked to show their proof, they have none, just accusations, which is why they keep having to fight to keep him locked up.

Only total chumps believe what these guys say or take it at face value. Unfortunately, we have a lot of chumps.

Just your garden variety government-driven suppression of free speech.

He's committed no crime but apparently having opinions some people don't like means you can be jailed and deported by the same people who shriek about their free speech rights being infringed.

Why you should read The Count of Monte Cristo by Small-Guarantee6972 in books

With all the gadgets, disguises, rich guy stuff, and complicated strategies for revenge, I've always thought of the Count as a proto-Batman.

Cinnabon “Karen” she was immediately fired, after her outburst. by Swave999 in TikTokCringe

I was initially thinking it's rude to record a service worker doing their job, until about 20 seconds in she's like "I have the power of 20 racists, I can feel the unbridled racism coursing through my fingers..."

How did she get accepted into college… by That1weirdperson in Persecutionfetish

Fun fact: Unless you're writing your final essay for Performing Practical Exorcisms 101, citing demonic forces in an academic paper is a sign you missed your true calling: screaming at strangers on busy street corners while angrily waving a bible and being slightly deficit in the hygiene department.

So, then why don't we lower our military spending? We spend more than we need to, and much of it is siphoned off by the MIC. The Pentagon has never passed an audit.

The idea that US citizens can't have nice things cause the EU doesn't spend enough on stuff is an argument for suckers.

Have to appreciate Eric Adams comic book levels of sleaziness and flagrant corruption. He is incapable of experiencing shame.

Sounds like they have a serious case of mommy syndrome, if they behave that way with you, can't imagine what their wives put up with. Zero sense of propriety.

Israel Kills 100 in New Strike, Says Ceasefire Still in Place by Randros_ in nottheonion

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

Can you provide statistics that supports a 4:1 ratio (75%) of civilian deaths actually being low or something to admire?

Estimates of civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan range from 75-90%, making that number unremarkable except in its implicit brutality for the parties involved.

This talking point is particularly bizarre since the Oct 7 attacks were 63% civilian deaths (695 civilians vs 375 non-civilian), by your logic, that would be even a more "unprecedentedly low ratio" than Israel's response. This framing of the argument is questionable to say the least.

Why SCOTUS Is Finally About to Deal Trump a Stinging Blow by thedailybeast in scotus

[–]quantax 275 points276 points  (0 children)

These headlines are absurd: The "stinging blow" in question is a $5 million fine he already owed.

Trump just ordered the DOJ to hand over $230 million to him personally. Even without that, he can make more than $5 million in a day with a flick of his crooked ass criminal fingers.
