Not sure if they have a terrible memory, I think you just have poor reading comprehension. Just glancing through a few of the articles you sent trying to “gotcha” some poster(s) here shows you didn’t even read them. If you did read them you did a bad job understanding the material.

Just for the deportation example: Biden’s deportation and immigration enforcement was not the same as Trump’s now. Biden was aggressively going after actual criminals and he was working to create a path to citizenship for folks that have been here illegally for years and put down roots and contributed to our economy. Now we’re seeing ICE rounding up people for nothing more than their skin color and a “suspicion” they’re not documented. So, just straight up racism.

You included an article where the Dems wanted to keep the green party off a ballot, ok … And? They’re not trying to keep people from voting or suppress the vote. They were trying their best to not have a spoiler candidate on the ballot and felt that aligned with the state’s election laws.

Anyways, I wouldn’t call the parties the same when you can just look at what policies and legislation passed under Democrats vs Republicans. Easy example - the affordable care act.

Unfortunately true. Worth reading that snopes article just to see how much fucked up stuff was actually happening though. It’s not a mischaracterization to say they stole from kids with cancer through self dealing.

I didn’t realize it was a specific instance for it when I saw this the first time! But thanks for the clarification

I guess maybe it makes sense or is funny within the context of the story arc or knowing more about the comic. For me it doesn’t really hit but the illustration is quite well done.

You and me both buddy

I think the comment is just calling out that one political party seems to have a lot more pedos than the other based on who has been arrested over the past … Idk let’s just say decade or so.

Obviously we all know not all Republicans are pedophiles but they sure as hell seem to harbor way more of them than Dems and it’s not even slander it’s just true.

And I am beginning to question whether The American Dream was a dream or a mass delusion.

It has always been a delusion. Don’t get me wrong, you can work hard and scrape a living together but you’re not getting rich without a lot of luck and capital backing.

Idk I’m on lemmy.world and it seems fine? I think it’s just the default for most people since it was one of the earliest if not the first instance, would have to look it up.

Yeah it’s now rated 12+ but yeah PEGI had it at 18+ originally before appeal.

Pressing x to doubt

I’d argue military force and threatening posture has been a large part of the USA foreign policy and diplomacy for the entire existence of the nation.

I get what you’re saying and yeah I honestly think the world we live in, stripping away all sense of morality, is one where “might makes right.”

Dead people do not argue. I’m not saying I think it should be that way or it’s good, only that it’s the way things work even if it does suck.

Is it not? We all collectively agree to cede the state a monopoly on (legal) violence to enforce the law.

I think you’re missing the /s tag here.

I don’t understand how Newsom can’t just order the CA national guard to not follow unlawfully given orders.

I’m not a lawyer but the statute in the Constitution that is written into the executive order as the authorization for it literally says the national guard are under control of the state Governor.

Why can’t Newsom give the guard orders and tell Trump to go fuck himself and see what happens? I guess at that point you’ll have conflicting orders from federal and state but, in theory, the national guard are under command of the state Governor and he’s their highest authority. So they should follow Newsom’s orders.

Like I said IANAL so I’m sure I’m missing something but for fuck sake this is outrageous. We’re rounding people up for not having a paper, they’re not even hardened criminals. If this was hardcore enforcement of actual dangerous people that would be one thing. These are just innocent undocumented migrants trying to live the their lives same as the rest of us.

I know this is a cute cartoon and a joke but could you imagine someone learning poker from balatro and trying to play in a for real tournament?

I love that game but it is not exactly teaching you proper poker lol

I really like your spelling “teature” but it’s officially spelled teacher.

Because English is silly like that.

My school here in the USA we had school lunch too, it was usually pretty ok, kids also packed lunches the same as your school.

America is fucked and what you said happens here too but mostly people get away with filming police as it technically is legal and that’s been backed up by courts here. Buuuuut police will try to tell you it’s not allowed or could consider it “impeding an investigation” if they want to be dicks. Cops here have virtually unlimited power to do what they want, they show up armed and in numbers so not much one can do to fight back.

But seriously whatever country in the EU you’re from that’s absolutely wild they would make it illegal to film police in a public space. Well, wild to me maybe not to others.

But humans don’t have penis bones, we’re pretty unique amongst mammals that way actually.

I just assume death is a human skeleton I guess.

This administration is really trying to fuck us all but in particular some of Trump’s most ardent supporters,
