And the politicians that are hoping to sell out.
If you are in the UK and thumbing up this post, is that considered a terrorist action. Be careful out there...
Is it really a human right if it's not exercised? Are any rights, for that matter. If a right is negotiated, does that mean that it more an option?
Yeah, without the grid scale energy storage, this is little more than green washing. I think we should utilise the UK portfolio of wind turbines as close as 100% as possible before building any more.
While I think your comment is perfectly valid and I do agree with it. I also think maybe you're looking too deeply into what is essentially a pity bon mot.
It's OK, he doesn't need her endorsement anyway, just the electorate's. At this stage I think an establishment democrat endorsement will do more harm to Mamdani's campaign than this shun will do.
Bad? From what perspective? I've been using it no problem. Sure, it can get delusional (what LLM doesn't?). But it's useful to get the general gist of something.
Is that your policy? Sorry bub, even abstaining is a political stance.
Sorry, by "it" I meant the cartoon. I don't see much fascism on display in the image. The whole obey thing and Unitary executive theory where Trump controls everything is by definition authoritarian. With flecks of totalitarianism when it comes to thr handling of immigrants. Non of this prevents his administration also being fascist.
What a petty diva Musk is. FFS, every jab Musk tries to land on Trump circles 'round to him. As he, himself stated he got Trump elected despite credible accusations that Trump palled around with and knew about Epstein's PDFilia.
Most of the legal issues raised in this piece assumes that the executive cares for such trifles. To sum it up concisely: "I'm the President, bitch and I can do WTF I want. Don't like it? Come at me."
Unlikely that this will happen but if we are playing a game of escalation perhaps he could deputise people with access to millenary equipment. Remember, the armed forces pledge allegiance to the constitution and nobody else. They also have the duty to not follow an illegal order.
Don't you fear that it'll be seen as escalatory?
That's a mighty dangerous game. Two things will happen if this will happen:
- Your economy will collapse. Some crucial US goods and services are the only game in town.
- US will turn away from it's old western allies towards the autocratic countries of the world.
What can they do? They're wiped out, democratically at least until the mid terms. Considering the speed of events, the mid term is too late.
That and reneging on past promises. Bet Ukraine regrets giving up their nukes on a promise from the US for protection.
What's even more troubling for nuclear proliferation reduction efforts is the weight any such promises will have in the future: "no thanks, I'll keep my nukes, thanks-you I don't want to me Ukrained".
that issue dissapears if the country has a good amount of nuclear or hydroelectric in the mix.
It also disappears if we have copious energy storage.
Sorry to play the Godwin card so early but this is Trump's enabling act.
Looks like someone has been reading the Discworld stories. To think America is going to be modelling it's form of "democracy" in the style of Ankh-Morpork. Democracy of one man one vote, Trump is the man, he has the vote.
Hello, I know that the fediverse contains many challengers to the walled garden approach of the main stream social media options. But, unless I miss comprehend, the fediverse isn't anything new, more a return to how things were in the the past. Case in point Newsgroups. Why aren't they mentioned in the same breath as Lemmy, kbin or Mastodon?
A vote for Donald Trump next week is also a vote for Elon Musk. He’ll have even greater power than the US president, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
This is what happens when successive US governments fail to tackle inequality. While millions of people live in poverty, a handful grow unimaginably rich. Wealth begets wealth, and they acquire political power to match. It was inevitable that one of them – now the richest man on Earth – would launch what looks like a bid for world domination...
The Home Office minister left the Labour frontbench last year over the party's stance on the conflict.
Jess Phillips Says She Was Given Quicker NHS Treatment Because She Backed Gaza Ceasefire
The BBC has been forced to pull Miriam Margolyes' 'shocking' three-word remarks about a Charles Dickens character from a Radio 4 show
Kirsty's question about which character had first resonated with her as a child, saying: "Oh, Fagin. Without question. Jewish and vile. I didn't know Jews like that then sadly, I do now."
Despite laughter from the audience, the BBC decided to remove the remarks from the broadcast.
I was just thinking, will the Conservative party take the same path as the Republicans and merge with our MAGA? Or, will their encounter with Boris Johnson be enough of our MAGA?
On one hand she says: "No more identity politics." And the other she says: "I am a Christian"... Do they even proof read their copy!?
Hello, I'm looking to purchase this film. Unfortunately, it looks to be unobtainium. Does anyone know where one may get a copy?
