This is how elections work for everyday criminals, and if people are being imprisoned for the actions of Trump, then why is Trump exempt from those rules?
Criminals cannot vote except in select states. And it isn’t like the people haven’t fought for those rights. Republicans have put stops to them.
This is more of a problem of Republican policy, eating at Republican actions.
I would have thought they would want to get to the bottom of that ASAP now that Colorado basically banned Trump from the ballot.
That being said, it sounds like they would rather have trump in Legal Limbo, then to get Colorado back.
“Seeing what happened in Colorado makes me think—except we believe in democracy in Texas—maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing eight million people to cross the border since he’s been president disrupting our state,” Patrick said.
Texas and Florida have been bussing people out of states. They already have a solution in place for this called “Dump your troubles onto someone else.”
The last time they actually put this into practice, Florida’s construction, agriculture, real estate, and education labor force all dropped. DeSantis had to repeal his own law and give raises just to get migrant workers back.
The problem isn’t that migrants are crossing the boarder, the problem is that the republican solution is outdated. We need a more managed and modern way of controlling immigration.
It was a pretty sad day watching those two testify about the death threats they received because they passed a tic tac.
$148 million is a nice ending to that story.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said Sunday that the United States needs to accept that Ukraine will likely need to “cede some territory” to Russia to end the fighting.
The problem is that if you reward Putin for his efforts, you only empower him and dictators like China and Iran. China will go after Taiwan, and Iran will go after Syria.
Because after all, they don’t have to beat the US military, or even war exhaustion from the people. He just has to outlast the greed of the American Senators.
Which compared to the 800 billion we spend on the military, or the $300,000 you can bribe a senator. It would seem that Russia has chosen the more economic approach.
I think Putin needs a straw man right now so that he can use as a punching bag for the elections.
And what better one then the opposition you have locked away in your basement.
I don’t think this will save Putin’s reputation, but I understand the strategy.
In his way of saying “Who will you vote for? This man that faints in my dungeons?! Or me, the one who will send you all to die at the Ukrainian front for questioning me?”
I don’t think the people of Russia will give an honest answer. But I think that is the point. Because mathematicians are standing by just waiting to analyze last years approval ratings with this years.
Because even if you can rig an election, how much you can rig an election is very different.
I imagine those numbers are going to tell a story of Putin’s disapproval across Russia.
It makes sense that they would take the position. It is just odd that the effects of global warming hasn’t hit their populations either.
How long could they insulate their populations from the worst of it?
A formal impeachment inquiry vote on the floor will allow us to take it to the next necessary step, and I think it’s something we have to do at this juncture.”
While comforting that the republicans feel another fishing expedition would yield result, this is was what was promised last time.
That there would be undeniable proof Biden was corrupt.
And it yielded nothing. They had full access to his bank records/ taxes and couldn’t find anything?!
Either I have to assume that Sleepy Biden can hide his secrets better then the whole republican party, or I have to assume that the republican party isn’t competent enough to find the evidence.
. The authorities insist that those conscripted for mandatory service are not being deployed to Ukraine.
Sure… and Micky mouse is my uncle.
While Putin said there was no need to round up more, his mobilization decree is open-ended, allowing the military to call up additional reservists when needed. That decree also banned volunteer soldiers from ending their contracts.
It means stuff like heating/food will become necessary to the Russians. The Russian Meat waves are going to be a lot slower, and easier to spot with thermal.
Russia will need thermal clothing for it’s soldiers to outlast the winter. Maybe even thermal masking clothing to just stay hidden.
Many will die of hypothermia regardless. Fires will be too dangerous and make encampments easier to spot.
However there is a solar storm going on, so communications this week are going to be a bit fuzzy for both sides. I fear it will hit Ukraine a bit harder then Russia, but it’s not like Russia has a good system of communication anyway beyond: Go here, take this hill, stay there until dead.
The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people.
Then, in July, just three months before the attacks, a veteran analyst with Unit 8200, Israel’s signals intelligence agency, warned that Hamas had conducted an intense, daylong training exercise that appeared similar to what was outlined in the blueprint.
“I utterly refute that the scenario is imaginary,” the analyst wrote in the email exchanges. The Hamas training exercise, she said, fully matched “the content of Jericho Wall.”
So they did know. They even knew the plan of attack and still did nothing.
At best case, the officials in intelligence that made that call should be fired for incompetence. At worst case, for letting it happen.
The problem is under a dictatorship no one can really tell you things are bad, until that problem boils over into another generals line of authority.
Which for Russia, they are finding out, that even if they win this war, they will have to scale down production because they won’t have the manpower for that production in 20 years
Which means even if they can hold Crimea, they won’t have the production to work Crimea as well as the Ukrainians.
Nikki Haley has devolved into Koch Pawn.
I am surprised that her talking points earned her that nomination, they must be super desperate.
If her talking points become more moderate, she could become a contender for Biden. Good thing that won’t happen.
“When supply chains are smooth, prices fall for goods, food, and equipment, putting more money in the pockets of American families, workers, farmers, and entrepreneurs,” the statement added.
The problem is that prices never fall even when supply chains are smooth, it isn’t like Kelloggs or Nestle are going to lower their prices because the costs of moving stuff and buying stuff is cheaper.
That money goes right back into profits.
Unions have helped a lot with this problem, but it has only helped people with a union organization.
And it really hasn’t fixed the core problems in America.
Americans need to see some kind of relief from these companies that are apart of our lives running smoothly.
I think a large part of us assumed that people in power wouldn’t cross red lines that had existed for decades.
Which was a terrible assumption for democrats to make. Especially when they controlled the house, senate, and presidency in the Obama era.
That being said, let’s call a spade a spade here. Democrats have been fighting to return Roe v Wade in many states. And Republicans have been standing against it, to the point of fighting their voters on laws they voted for.
Prosecutors said Taylor, a Vietnam native, approached numerous voters of Vietnamese heritage with limited English comprehension and filled out and signed election forms and ballots on behalf of them and their English-speaking children.
Keep in mind he still lost his election.
While it’s incredibly rare for fraud to affect more than a handful of votes, the frequency with which Republicans do it isn’t a coincidence. It’s a direct result of a party that is undermining democracy at every turn and—importantly—telling its voters that the other side is going to cheat anyway.
It’s more of the “I am able to cheat, so everyone must be cheating” Logic that gets people into trouble. Then they realize that they are the only ones cheating
Agreed, there is a bit of hubris in my argument
However, I don’t think it matters either way because China has the information, so it’s more about likelihood of replication.
Which I would say, China has the best chance of replicating that.
But just because you copied someone else’s homework doesn’t mean you understand it, or that it was even helpful to understanding the sum of the whole.
Don’t get me wrong, this data breach is terrible, but the only way this is a death sentence for the Dutch is if China got a 1:1 schematic and build process of the chips, including material composition.
Which I don’t think they have.
However, even though it confirmed the theft of its intellectual property, NXP says that the breach did not result in material damage — saying that the data stolen is complex enough that it can’t be easily used to replicate designs. As such, the company didn’t see the need to inform the general public, reports NRC.
Looks like China got to peak at the Dutch’s homework. However, that isn’t going to do much good if China doesn’t know how the Dutch got to that solution. However, I have no doubt it is just a matter of time and resources.
Also, it is unclear if the information that was taken was helpful at all. I doubt they had full schematics of next gen chips lying around. It also sounds like there is another layer of security they feel hasn’t been breached. Which is good for the most part because it means the information has knowledge layers that have to be understood first for the manufacturing process.
Ogolobyak is said to have counted out the stabs aloud until he got to 666.
I thought that part might be a bit over dramatized, but nope, he did it.
"He served in the Storm Z unit for six months… He is disabled after being wounded. He can walk, but the wound was a serious one. He isn’t working yet, he’s recovering. He’s not likely to be drafted back into the special military operation
Keep in mind that Russia is redrafting people with only 80% blindness, so if the Russian army didn’t want him after this disability, it either is a very serious disability, or he is lying.
Could you please elaborate on this? I have no idea what you are trying to say here.
