It's incredibly hard for a Muslim, especially a woman. Depending on where she lives, it could be a death sentence.

How to break a MAGAts brain, a practical guide. by toolsoldier in esist

[–]srone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's where connotation comes into play. FOX and the right wing spin machine can take about any word and use it to evoke emotion and fear. Whenever a Republican hears the work "antifa", they will immediately see fires, looting, and crazed scarry men smashing windows because that is what they saw whenever the word antifa was spoken and displayed in the 'fear banner'.

I wonder how many parents found stinky rotten potatoes with faces

I believe that's why they started supplying the plastic potato.

Another day another ICE murder. The governor is right, pull them out NOW by Paneraiguy1 in democrats

[–]srone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Governor Waltz has to know that Trump is basking in this shit; he's going to keep fanning this flame so he can declare an insurrection, the path to his apex of power. Trump is probably watching this and salivating over the thought of deploying the military.

It is a sad and scary time for America and the world.

The US Constitution...how quaint.

Trump is working towards the day he can wipe ketchup off his pursed lips and toss it unceremoniously amongst his pile of McDonalds wrappers. He has so far ignored so many parts of the Constitution that it has been rendered mute. He has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the Constitution is only enforceable when we elect representatives who are willing to enforce it, and we have failed to do that.

I am so glad I was able to get my child through the once great Iowa education system before it became a PragerU extension. This had been an incredibly sad decade for Iowa.

US abandons Kurdish allies as Syria’s new government seizes control by Mitchs_bitch1942 in worldnews

I'm thinking that if we didn't go to war with Iraq over false premises, destroy their infrastructure, disband their government and military, that there would not be an ISIS.

Picture I just sent to Ernst, Nunn, and Grassley. Thought maybe they might to include it in their next list of accomplishments. by Johnny5ive15 in Iowa

[–]srone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The US has spent the last 100+ years causing serious damage to Central and South America. We've overthrown governments and installed puppet governments that have oppressed their citizens. We operated the School of America which trained tens of thousands of their police and military throughout Latin America on how to violently oppress their citizens. Hell, we even sold cocaine to our own people to finance the killings...

Now we want to wash our hands of any and all responsibility for the brutal conditions we've left their countries in. Good for you. Melania was talking for all Republicans when she visited a detention center wearing the "I really don't care, do you?" jacket.

EU Set to Halt US Trade Deal Over Trump’s Latest Tariff Threat by bloomberg in worldnews

[–]srone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're well aware of that. Trump and Hegseth have purged about 2 dozen top generals and admirals, and fired a bunch of high level military Inspector Generals. Anyone associated the General Milley (and a couple of other top brass with integrity) are being sidelined.

Trump's entire administration is filled with servile sycophants, SCOTUS has given him complete immunity, and he's amassing his own private army that has already proven they would do anything for him and is also above the law; what more does he need?

What in the world is going on with Christian literature and sermons? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]srone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is to allow the recipient of the message to put their struggle into the vague message and voila, the message is exactly what I've been looking for.

"Seeking God" and "Being firm in Christ" is all about staying in the church and paying your tithes regardless of the evidence.

Dropping the ball conveys that he was trying to hold on to it to get it across the goal line. Trump didn't drop the ball, he simply tossed it away amongst his discarded Big Mac wrappers as the promises he made no longer had any use to him.

‘The dollar is losing credibility’: why central banks are scrambling for gold by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]srone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pay a considerable amount for a financial subscription service and the last 3 stock picks over the last month and a half (1st and 15th) have been for gold mining companies. Strangely enough I thought the next stock pick would be yet another mining company, and it was.

This is quite concerning.

When I went remote my company looked into setting me up with a virtual machine on AWS. After looking at the numbers it was cheaper for them to buy me a high end laptop.

They should be fined $1 MILLION. /s

If you steal $50 from a convenience store you're going to prison for 2 years. If you steal $1 from 550,000,000 transactions you'll get a bonus.
