I'm sure they will just delay it until it blows over. What a bunch of spineless cucks. Already a billionaire, dying of cancer and you still have no spine? Just sad.
Christo fascists: How dare you try to make laws that force platforms to police or tell how they deal with hate speech, disinformation,etc! (Which could lead to actually helping some kids) Also Christo Fascists: the entire internet must follow whatever arbitrary, bigoted, censorus rules we make up and be policed as such! Wish these people would just fuck off already. Don't like social media? You have the right to parent how you like including more control than ever compared to "25 years ago" as to what your kids have access to. You actually have to fucking put in the work and be an actual parent though. The Internet is the 90s/early 00s was a lot worse than they seem to think. That's just my experience from being a kid at the time with parents who were not tech savvy. And there is no excuse anymore for modern parents born after 1980 to not know how to police your kid's internet usage. Don't like porn? Then don't watch porn. But we all know straight Christo fascist fucks love porn. Same with everything else. Like if you think being gay or trans is an affront to whatever mythological being you believe in. Then don't be that and shut the fuck up. It doesn't affect you it's not your life. I used to have the same arguments with my super religious brother. They are so thoroughly brainwashed. And in fact yesterday, after being assaulted by reciting bible verses by someone whom we had to explain we have to follow the law and especially HIPAA when it comes to disclosing information to even people themselves if they don't have any form of government identification. I had to say "HEY, just to be clear. The BIBLE is not the law!" Fuckin hell.
Continuing reason 123456789 why Nintendo is a hypocritical scumbag company.
Don't worry much like Apartheid Jimmy I'm sure if China or India or Turkey or Russia or some other authoritarian country asked they would gladly bend over and ask for more. Imagine what would happen to any small time person who committed a crime and was ordered to pay a fine but refused and said "I'll just move away then". They would be immediately thrown in jail. End corporate citizenship if they don't have the same consequences of breaking the law as the rest of us.
Fuck Ted Cruz. I almost just bought a bumper sticker and decided not to because I don't even live in Texas but now I wish I had. These assholes don't care about how many of their own constituents they hurt as many town balls have shown lately they clearly think they are there and they work for Lord Orange and not for the fucking people who elected them.
Rethignican sycophants can lie and claim anything they want in their nonsense reports. Doesn't make it a fact. Anyone left doing anything at the behest of the King and his thugs is immediately untrustworthy. Every fascist POS in this admin has already had a loooong track record of outright provable lies and falsehoods they have spewed. That makes everything they do a reasonable lie and distortion of reality. And that tracks with 100% of every single thing they have done within the last 100 days.
What hope do we have without organized resistance? Think they will just give up when enough "paid" protesters show up? It will be their cue to fire on the unarmed masses. Fight back physically and it will be just the same result. Declaring martial law. And without those spinless cucks the NRA and or the military unwilling to break from the Fuhrer , no organized resistance stands a chance. Think we will make it to midterms with a fair election? No. The whole fabric of our government will cease to be anything more than than mirror visage of Russia at best and at worst the worst of the PRC. With Judges being arrested for the simple crime of not aiding the illegally ordered FBI to carry out their heinous acts, a loser in a state supreme Court race to just be able to change the rules of an election after the fact and throw out 60k votes in conviently only opposing districts. What hope of this Republic surviving until mid terms exists? Welcome to the Fascist States of America. And here I thought the giant blood soaked shit stain on our history of the first term was bad. Surviving being a frontline medical worker during Covid and the bat shit selfish conspiracy addled twats was bad. Universe help us all.
And to add "The simple truth is, this unfortunate incident never would have occurred if Mr. Vu had kept his hands to himself."..which is just WOW talk about victim blaming. This guy probably blames a woman who is sexually assaulted as "asking for it because their cleavage was showing.
What a two faced statement too. Did Mr.Vu hit the officer lightly to get his attention with criminal intent that warranted having his neck broken because the officer was a racist who refused to listen to his point of view?
Watching that video, how the hell can you defend THAT with a straight face? There was no warning "sir please don't touch me" he went straight into fuck you mode. Where is the training for deescalation? Your first response should never be pulling a damn wrestling move on an old person! If you can't handle stressful situations you have no business being in that line of work.
You are either an idiot who has failed to stay in the loop with your own state's programs to dole out the money. Or you are deliberately ignoring them. If you actually look at you own state's programs you might find they use criteria and have program requirements that actually disqualify the big telcos. Where I live, in Oregon they are requiring 100/100, score based on vulnerability and being unserved and underserved https://biznews.oregon.gov/acton/rif/14786/s-07d2-2412/-/l-0007:4f65/l-0007/showPreparedMessage?sid=TV2%3ATDGWGEyMj and 0$ is going to the likes of Spectrum, Comcrap,Verizon and what not. https://biznews.oregon.gov/acton/rif/14786/s-07bf-2411/-/l-0007:5424/l-0007/showPreparedMessage?sid=TV2%3AVERLisiiy
Thank you for that list I've been wondering for a while now but which Bible to actually get that would be relevant to modern language I haven't read one in decades but I've been wanting to brush up so I can better understand people's hypocrisy about jesus's teachings. To be clear I grew up going to Christian church but I am not religious or identify as Christian if anything I am closer to being an atheist and am opposed to most organized religion but they should all have the same rights and not a single one of them should be pushed to some level of theocracy.
Lmao remember he is suing someone because they reported to say he was a convicted rapist or something. Which is only not true on a technicality because the hellhole he grifted from for decades and claims to hate has a dumb distinction on the books that he's not a rapist because he did everything but stick his dick in her. Rape is rape.
FEMA isn't even the only field where there have been mass exoduses of people who WANT to help but spent the last half decade being abused by bigots and conspiracy theorists. And find that cost to help a cost not worth paying when it destroys your mental health because you fear for your own safety or the safety of you family. It doesn't matter how much fact checking you do to a certain crowd of people. They refuse to accept anything and continue harassing and causing real harm to other people. And our answer has literally been "well it's not a crime, we can't do anything. You just have to accept it unless someone actually tries to steal or physically harm you." Working in the front line of the medical field , the pandemic was brutal living in a conservative majority area. And I guarantee I didn't even see the absolute worst of it. And there have been people leaving all areas of the field in droves. I mean considering we can't even do anything about making it harder to walk into a store and walk out within 72 hours with an AR-15 that is used to murder people and young kids it's really not surprising. Of course the answer is literally everyone should just be armed at all times 24/7 and use their 2a rights to protect their own 1a right to not accept the bigots 1a speech like Elon suggested at that rally! (/S if not obvious)
"The idea that someone receiving a tattoo, creative endeavor though it may be, might suddenly lose some rights over the depiction of their own image and likeness is absurd. Absurd and, frankly, very problematic when it comes to what is essentially a play at ownership over a portion of a person’s body." So it's ok for copyright to extend to one form of art but not this one? You can't reproduce copyrighted material you pay for like an art print, a photograph, a video game or movie you buy, but reproducing someone's copyrighted art on someone's body just because it happens to be attached to them is ok? Someone getting a perpetual license to display someone's art on their body means the artist doesn't get the same copyright protection as our corporate overlords? It's one thing if that art is simply being present in real life as the natural process of living or say broadcasting a game on TV. But taking that person and then recreating them digitally for your own profit and paying that person for their likeness for their profit is a different story IMO. There's a distinction between tattoos that are just generic commonly used symbols or fair use transformations of existing works and wholy original creations. I am sure I will be disagreed with, but reality seems this way to me when courts award things like piracy a single song with hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages per abuse.
I fail to see how stealing someone's likeness to spread disinformation is somehow protected speech by just labeling it as "parody". It's also not even remotely like a political cartoon. Not a damn single person would mistake an actual parody played out by actors or drawings as the real person saying those things. The same cannot be said about convincing deep fakes tailor made to steal someone's exact likeness in looks and voice. Especially when the right-wing o sphere is constantly claiming anything and everything to their disliking is made by AI when they are the ones actually doing it. And the answer is more speech? Seriously? With so many easily convinced idiots who believe anything Mush and Orangeman spew or send their way and any "speech" to show that it's false with facts, chains of evidence just gets dismissed as "fake news" or a "conspiracy"? Does no one remember all the Elon Musk Twitter parodies and how that went when "parody is now allowed" came back? Do you think if someone made a convincing deep fake about Musk without labeling it as parody and passing it around Twitter would go without being banned or turned around in the same way? People are already using AI deep fakes the world over to scam and deceive people and we are just supposed to roll over and say "nah this is ok, it is protected expression to simply steal someone's likeness and claim it's parody or whatever justification" I think there is a fine line we can't cross and allowing this is it. Stealing someone's likeness to the point of being indistinguishable should not be protected speech. It's not a cartoon.
According to recent comments by TFG he needs all the new voters he can get because Democrats "cheat like hell"
Yeah it's definitely not like Trump has called for people to be put in jail for doing things like burning the flag or disrespecting the flag or late night comedians put in jail for criticizing him or journalist in general or protesters when else am I forgetting? All for exercising their First Amendment rights.
What makes it so so much worse is that this is literally about an actual candidate. The HB dick pics laptop wasn't even for a public official or someone running for office. Just the troubled son of a candidate. And yet somehow THAT was election interference to people like Leon Mush. The blocking of the leak of Canadian Cruz's stuff a few months ago was one thing. AFTER publicly endorsing a single candidate and even vying for a cabinet job and then doing this for said candidate's VP?? Claiming it's the worst doxxing of all time? Leon Mush always seems to find a new low that somehow surprises me. The cognitive dissonance is never ending.
I can't blame the people who leave..in any normal situation I would do it. I almost did the same at my job during Covid because of the anti vax conspiracy bullshit nonsense j had to put up with in a profession where we should know better. But I'm still here and if I worked for the government I would be on their hit list.
