You mean market manipulation and insider trading is a net harm on society? With the sentencing disparities you’d think it was harmless.

Clinton is almost as narcissistic as Trump, he ain’t your hero.

It’s pretty telling how easily liberals give up on their supposed ambitions even when the effort was obviously flawed.

Gotcha, I guess I’ve been using it wrong then. I feel like sexual coercion doesn’t appropriately cover the power imbalance between a subordinate and a boss, let alone the president and a no name member of the admin.

You just described a Statutorial violation, oral sex makes it rape, not sure what this is adding.

If you include his first term you could argue they were better off before they became indoctrinated into his cult.

Seems in poor taste to equate a statutory rape victim with a rapist…

If Italians don’t know a fascist when they see one, then surely neither do these dingleberries.

And try your best to promote them to the top prosecutor position the world.

Exactly

Reminds me of the “internet privacy act” which just eliminate internet privacy by allowing ISPs to mine browsing data. The one exception was for members of congress…

This is literally the same argument that Elon made in defense of censoring Twitter in Turkey.

I feel like they wouldn’t have bothered trying to ruin USPS if this wasn’t their plan all along.

It’s pretty fucked up that wasting our tax money on incompetence and corruption is now objectively preferable to using it to effectively pursue their agenda.

Congress gave you money to do a job, it’s not a suggestion, dipshit.

Same, when the rachet effect going on has been so effective on the other side it no longer behooves us to “be better” than to flip the direction and do the same by the same methods. Righteousness is all well and good until it becomes part of your opponents strategy to take advantage of you.

How is it a good approach to formally mandate their cowardice on messaging? If something isn’t popular it has literally nothing to do with whether it’s correct. Also, we can all just look and see that billionaires and Israel are unpopular, yet they never concede those talking points. Why is it that they’d abandon the underprivileged minorities but not the power centers if it’s not all entirely about consolidating their power? That’s their real agenda and this only memorializes it.

Can you imagine a hero in a movie having these beliefs? It’s pathetic that they view politics as such a passive endeavor at a moment where we need activism more than ever.

If the court was doing their job they would have ruled this unconstitutional in the first place. A tariff is a tax, the executive explicitly does not get that power

NYT using neutral speak and missing important context, as always. Anything to cover for those in power.
