I think the more egregious part is that all of the networks covered Trump’s press conference, then failed to cover Harris’ speech. Giving air time to one candidate and not the other is not balanced reporting. It is giving free publicity to one candidate over the other. They went to Trump’s house on short notice rather than cover Harris’ public speech with plenty of notice.
Ah, “buy” was a typo but it wasn’t meant to be “boy”. I know better than that. It was meant to be “guy”.
Yeah, I’ve worked retail too and I don’t think I would have done this, even if I did have another task to complete.
This cashier’s lane light was on. They smiled at me, came to help, scanned my items, and let me pay. Then, rather than scanning the man’s six items, they put up their closed sign and walked away without saying a word while leaving their lane light on. It felt hostile and rude.
Thank you, I appreciate it. It’s honestly weighing on me that I didn’t say something. I guess the best that I can do is to do better next time something similar happens.
Thank you. You don’t think that speaking up would be more embarrassing for the man that what already happened? I feel terrible that I didn’t act more appropriately in the moment, but I was too shocked to think of a good response to the situation.
I like this. This is the mentality I plan to take with me in case of future situations. I feel terrible that I wasn’t present enough to act appropriately in the moment.
She’s a bad ass for just having the guts to go out there like that. Good for her! I’d be mortified to try that…
What an understatement. “Cruel and dangerous” barely scratches the surface of how abominable Israel’s “war” in Gaza has been. Genocide deserves to be labeled a lot more strongly than “cruel and dangerous”. Calling this “cruel and dangerous” belittles the atrocities and only serves to aid Israel.
Thank you, this is really helpful!
Thank you, I’ll look into options.
When you say email aliases, what do you mean? A lot of services strip plusses from emails now, right?
I’m most interested in why the Pentagon did this. It seems like an weird thing to do. It also seems like, whatever upsides might have been there, the downsides of blowback if the scheme was caught almost certianky outweigh the upsides.
I don’t even see how his reaction was a “typical authoritarian response”. I think there are only a few reasonable responses after being shot. Defiance is a pretty reasonable response. Anger, fear, running away, and mental breakdown are all also reasonable responses.
I detest Trump, but his immediate reaction actually seemed like the best reaction that a presidential candidate could have. I don’t think it was planned and I do think that his reaction was genuine. I think it’s very hard to have a calculated response in a situation like that.
In the US the laws vary by state. In Kansas you must:
Kansas also has one of the easiest exams in the US. Other states are more strict and have more difficult tests. CA’s test has a pass rate of around 50%. Even the most strict only requires 135 hours of training, though.
And SCOTUS will grant cert, schedule argument for January 21st, the declare the case moot after Trump pardons himself. They’ll then agree that self pardons aren’t even required because a president can’t be held criminally liable for anything. Finally, they will stand behind Trump’s throne and reveal themselves to be the Nazgul.
Video tape isn’t really that durable over time. Most of the info I can find comes from digitization services, but they are fairly consistent in saying that, for tapes that are stored in “normal” conditions, you can expect 10-25% degradation in 20 years. These tapes are 40 years old. They have likely degraded significantly already and may fall apart when played.
Tell me that there is an anti trust suit over this.
