I mean, masks are medical devices. That’s kinda what they’re for. Banning them is just supporting the disease.

Yes, they really do.

They’ll never be given back.

They could be taken back.

Who knows? But they can look like they’re doing something, at least.

Critically, the elites want this “solved” asap.

Dude, it’s been 25 years of fascist creep in the US government. How much longer do you want to wait before “Jump[ing] to conclusions”?

Same :o

“Is it my fault that I refuse to run on popular issues and can’t win elections? No, it is the voters who are wrong.”

How many “leftists” do you think exist in the US? Like, is this more or less than 1% of the electorate? 5%? This has the same energy as The Onion’s “still too early to tell which minority to blame for the election”. Maybe the Dems just actually suck ass.

…labelling things as fascist isnt very useful right now

What do you think “fascism” is? Like, this line of argument worked ten years ago because people didn’t know what the fuck they were looking at, but now? NOW?!

Contrary to what other people will tell you, yes he could. For example, he could simply order all loan records destroyed and all loan enforcement stopped. He doesn’t even need that Court ruling to do that, the Executive branch opts to not enforce laws all the time. Simply stop the government from doing anything about student loans. In fact, he (his administration) has done some of this–see the note on this page:

On March 9, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education asked the U.S. Department of Justice to request a pause of any active bankruptcy case if the borrower wishes.

Right now, student loans are a huge problem in the US because (unlike other debts) you cannot (easily) get out of student loans through bankruptcy and young people are getting saddled with monstrous amounts of debt that they aren’t entirely consenting to, so rather than fix that in any way the “fix” was to simply force students to repay the loans regardless.

At the same time: no, he could not.

The fact of the matter is the case would eventually end up before the Supreme Court who would simply find against Biden. Nothing Biden does would be considered legal, everything Trump does would be considered legal. Literally the only way out of this is to remove the Justices who have no regard for the law.

This immunity ruling is a loaded gun that the Supreme Court dropped on the desk of the President. If the Biden does anything with it, the Supreme Court is going to say “no that’s illegal, you can’t do that!” Using this immunity ruling to remove them would be a good option, but Biden has no intent of ever doing that and so the loaded gun is still sitting on the desk for when Trump takes office. Whenever Trump does anything, the Supreme Court is going to simply say “immunity”.

It’s also not automatically end-to-end encrypted (as i understand it) so it’s possible for those who aren’t tech savvy to set it up wrong.

I remember when that movie came out people argued with me that the Democrats were the party that was going to create the world of Interstellar and the Republicans were “standing up for science”.

It was obviously nonsense then so i have little illusions that those people have changed their view on it–or if they have, they’ve simply changed to believe the moon landing was faked.

She’s definitely going after the Republicans because they’re the ones who have the power to force this release. The Dems have no real impact as long as the Republicans vote as a bloc, which they are likely to do. This is basically a threat to people who might step out of line that their records might be next.

He hasn’t been found guilty of anything, yet, but that’s largely (imo) because the Merrick Garland DOJ has refused to prosecute and blocked attempts to independently figure out what the hell he’s doing.

I think it’s highly likely he’s guilty of sex trafficking minors and both the DOJ and the ethics committee know this.

If he had an “R” next to his name, no doubt.

She’s not, i don’t think she wants this to happen and i think she knows that people won’t agree to this kind of thing.

But what she’s saying is right. The people deserve to know what our representatives are up to.

The whole Ukraine crisis started with the offer of an EU accession agreement to Ukraine in 2014

I think the crisis technically started with a military invasion. If not that, then we could go back and forth on this to the founding of NATO and before.

People should use better sources and call out the ADL when it’s used but they’re right on this. This information predates their current madness.

The SPLC’s information is, unfortunately, nowhere near as comprehensive but they also list it. As does Wikipedia.

Anyone using “Austria 88” knows exactly what they’re doing. No way you put that together by chance.
