#8, no shit, Sherlock. I know where I posted my comment #3, and it wasn't in this thread.

^^^ Edit

"Not a lawyer but ain't that also opening up Trumpy to discovery requests?"

They would likely be limited the specifics of the lawsuit allegation, which has to do with two comments that he made about an hour apart being spliced together to give the impression that he *said something he didn't actually say in that specific speech.

"Flu shots are offered annually."

I don't know any healthy people who had to take time off from work to recover from the side effects of a flu shot, because they literally couldn't drive or focus or lift anything. I know plenty who've had to after (the mrna version of) the Covid vaccine.

WTF is going on here? The comments in this thread were originally in response to a thread about the oil tanker that was seized off of Venezuela.

Who is running this site now?

"What, if anything, does that mean for this site?"

It would likely shut down, as would most forums that can't afford to pre-approve (either manually or with "AI" software) every single message before it's posted and eat the costs (like big tech companies can) if anything "indecent" gets through.

What does your neighbor's pet (probably the only ----- you've ever seen) have to do with it?

"#5. I know what it means. I also know that this country is not engaged in ethnic cleansing."

It has. Particularly against American Indians (Removal Act and Trail of Tears) and Mormons (literally called an Extermination Act).

This article is trying to have it both ways, though. If ethnic cleansing would destroy the United States, then how is it still here centuries later?

The argument being made for this is that they're enforcing legal sanctions which were being violated.

The question that people should be asking is how does this compare to enforcement of sanctions against the RF?

Could this be a signal or prelude of more strict or aggressive enforcement of those sanctions?

Or is it tactic to use people's condemnations of these actions as an excuse not to enforce those sanctions?

No doubt Russia sees the sanctions that have been imposed upon it as an act of "piracy" and theft.

Earlier this year, the State Department eliminated an employee's contributions to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) goals from the criteria for promotion within the Foreign Service. Instead, the department said it would vet Foreign Service employees on their "fidelity" to the Trump administration's policies.

The State Department's human resources bureau releases new precepts every three years, outlining the most important qualities Foreign Service officers must demonstrate to advance to higher ranks.

As part of a newly added "fidelity" standard, Foreign Service employees across all ranks will be evaluated on their contributions to "protecting and promoting executive power."

But...what's the problem with them?"

Eating lots of processed meat is linked to higher rates of cancer?

I'm really torn about this one. On one hand, it's probably going to be another horrible waste of taxpayer money. On the other hand, we should show respect to the Roman Empire.

Lame and pathetic.

"Lesson for Democrats
If you are not getting pepper sprayed by ICEholes and maga maroons then you are not on the front lines doing your job."

This sounds exactly like something a maga marron would say, especially if they wanted Democrats to engage in self-defeating behavior.

"I Saw
the entire clip and she was interrering

She was burying them?

*yawn*

Any excuse to make an anti-semitic or anti-western rant.

the human race is accumulating blad karma.

"A famous case of medieval biological warfare probably never happened"

Sounds like a whitewashing of history. Or maybe yellowashing?

I'll get back to your deflection after you answer my question, which was actually directly related to the topic of this thread?

The protesters think they're fighting fascism. I agree that a lot of things Trump does are similar to fascism. However, the specific action these protesters were "stopping"/impeding was not an example of fascism. It's legitimate for people to express forms of speech to protest government actions they disagree with, but once they start doing things to physically "stop" or impede them then it's crossed the line beyond constitutionally protected speech or expression. Do you disagree?

#11- FLAG: FacePalm!

You're basically defining "fascism" as the implementation of any law you disagree with or deem to be "unfair", and therefore it's okay for protesters to "stop" the legal implementation of it. You're in J6 territory now.

"By the time she arrived, she said, the protesters had "stopped" a squadron of dozens of mostly masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents."

and

"Special agents and officers from ICE Homeland Security Investigations and the IRS, joined by federal partners, are executing 16 search warrants in southern Arizona related to immigration and tax violations," a Department of Homeland Security statement Friday morning."

So these protesters were impeding the execution of a legal process. Hmm, where have we heard that before...?

Stories like this really are not helping to fight fascism. You can't have it both ways.
