    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    Imagine being so unbothered by your department’s abusive conduct that you just fire off lies that have since been debunked.

    Let's Talk About Media

    Won’t this just make it so that the only reporting happening on the DoD is from the same anonymous sources that have always talked to reporters, but now they don’t get to use the news for free advertising and propaganda? Seems like a net negative for the military, honestly.

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    It’s actually kind of impressive how much Trump’s solution to rising medical costs is simply to lie about the prices he’s going to get prescription drugs down to. Well, that and a government knock off of GoodRx with his name on it.

    I’ve been rather outspoken about how dumb it is to compare Antifa to ISIS, but maybe we shouldn’t dig our heels in on defending people who shot at police with a rifle and shot off fireworks at a building against charges of terrorism. It can both be true that they’re abusing the overly broad...

    Who is the person out there that was against tariffs until they got clarification that these are merely surcharges based on a percentage of the cost of the items paid directly to the government and not taxes?

    They made the wrong decision both times, and presumably there were hate crime laws enforced on the vandalism charge that shouldn’t exist. But it is still not statistically likely that a white teen will be charged more harshly than a black one.

    I don’t think the support for slightly more geographically contained globalism and militarism is bound to be as high as you think it is.

    Credit where it’s due to Fetterman on this, because it is a good message. But if my two choices are Fetterman or Newsom I might just choose to stop voting. Fetterman’s whole shtick is being a grouchy and opportunistic dick about the left without actually offering any viable alternative...

    That’s why the haphazard way they’ve implemented all this is so particularly maddening. I can see good arguments for things like creating domestic supply chains for industries critical for national defense and rare earth metals that we need to combat Chinese dominance in that space. But...

    Such a weird fucking thing to celebrate.

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    I guess I’m just a bit skeptical right now because there’s been an all-out blitz to declare that there’s an attack against ICE at every turn with little evidence for many of the claims. Those claims are in turn being used to stomp on individual liberties and escalate law enforcement operations...

    I did, though. My stance on this has been rather clear that we must fight against over-prosecuting people regardless of their political leanings and that it’s been frustrating to see the left cheer it on and the right to suddenly care about it because of the circumstances. I want criminal...

    The way January 6th rioters were sentenced was a miscarriage of justice, but it’s not really representative of how we typically handle teens in the system.

    Your argument is that across the entire country we would not be able to find a single instance of a group of white teens beating up a minority? Do they only do that once they grow up and become police officers?

    Of course it does. But you’re using a hypothetical crime and sentence to declare me wrong about my guess.

    Would once again like to point out that we can just look at what’s happened to certain exports specifically in the past 6 months and discover a link. The thing “the experts” claimed would happen is happening as they predicted it would and I’m supposed to believe it was actually Biden’s policies...

    This is actually not relevant to this portion of the discussion unless the answer is 0 or you can cite the statistics in the sentencing of those kids and show how they exceed that of black kids beating up a white one. We’re not trying to identify frequency, we’re discussing disparities in...

    It’s a good thing ChatGPT exists because that would be a lot of analysis to type up only for thethe or tap to respond with lol while deriding the experts because they have an anecdote of a white person being unfairly charged with a hate crime. Obviously the solution isn’t to go the entire...
