Neo liberal / laissez-faire applies to both major parties in the USA.
Although, it’s certainly becoming less so with the GOP than the Democrats. IE: bailouts for farmers affected by their own tariffs, mass deportations which will affect business, etc.
What if you showed us evidence for that actually working in any meaningful sense, in order to stop people enabling fascists?
DAMNED LOCH NESS MONSTAH
“but have you considered my racist opinions?”
It wasn’t even transcoding. It was showing as direct play on the dashboard.
It’s been a problem ever since I set it up about 2 years ago.
And, it actually transcodes just fine at friends homes. Or on my phone with a VPN on and 5g.
I originally had PMS on my Shield in the living room and assumed it was related to that, but I just moved PMS yesterday to my PC instead and the problem persisted.
The blame is squarely at the feet of McConnell, Obama, Biden, Orrin Hatch, and finally Merrick Garland.
A timeline:
In 2010 Obama nominated Kagan to SCOTUS. A nomination criticized by Hatch as blatantly partisan. Hatch said that he had known Garland for years. He added that, if nominated, he would be a “consensus nominee” and that there was “no question” he would be confirmed.
Then in 2016 with the Scalia vacancy, McConnell made up the fictional “Biden rule” to refuse seating or even hearing a nominee. Hatch then claimed that this process could proceed if an uncontroversial nominee was proffered. He again mentioned Merrick Garland:
"The president told me several times he’s going to name a moderate [to fill the court vacancy], but I don’t believe him. [Obama] could easily name Merrick Garland, who is a fine man. He probably won’t do that because this appointment is about the election. So I’m pretty sure he’ll name someone the [liberal Democratic base] wants.”
Then of course, Obama caved to Hatch’s public request further elevating Garland in the public eye and to the approval of centrists and liberals. McConnell still refused to acquiesce, and dragged it out into the next presidency.
Then with Trump’s electoral win, and some backroom dealing to get Kennedy to retire, the federalist society and the heritage foundation got their 40+ year wish. A conservative court, despite the rules, the circumstances, the math being otherwise. And all with zero fight from the Obama Administration.
Fast forward to the Biden administration in 2021, FOREVER still entertaining the notions of bipartisanship. Even while the GOP will offer a handshake while donning a Freddy Kruegeresque sharpened gauntlet of knives.
So of COURSE Biden nominated Garland to AG in the foolish hope that Americans and the GOP would somehow view this move as apolitical, above the frey, etc.
Garland is a symptom just like Trump is a symptom. They both stem from the same problem. That problem being a new aristocracy, a political class that seeks to simply preserve their places in power, and completely purge the citizenry from the body politic. A new Jim Crow, but one of bureaucracy. One that exclusively values the opinions of the political class over the wishes of the people. Garland is the example of this system as is Obama/Biden and many others. Meanwhile men like McConnell will easily exploit this system, and men like Trump will gain power as a reaction TO this system.
Power has been removed from the people (what little we had) and now the GOP and the majority of the DNC seek to keep it that way as it keeps them in power.
If you think I’m wrong about the DNC, just look at their actions. They’re floating Rahm Emanuel to head the DNC. They’re already talking about a Harris/Buttigieg ticket in 2028 (because you know, fuck the voters, their primaries, their caucuses. Who needs a Democratic process?)
And it’s not a nobody saying this. It’s guys like David Axlerod saying it on the LibDem mouthpiece network MSNBC.
Tbf, that’s more online than irl. IMHO
I think we also overestimate the valve if what would have been at Alexandria.
Considering everything would have been hand copied/transcribed back then, and his expensive that would have been, the selection bias would be massive.
I doubt it could compare to Wikipedia.
It might not have been the worm actually. Missing a chunk of brain runs in his family on his uncle’s side.
Incorrect factually, scientifically, morally.
Every single scientific organization in the US disagrees.
“but was dismayed to learn of Trump’s plans to declare a national emergency and use the military to carry out mass deportations of undocumented immigrants”>
What?!? You mean the author had no idea about this “plan” DT wouldn’t shut up about for the past 9 years?
I think our media is problematic
John Ludd and the saboteurs are calling
There’s been a lot of speculation claiming exactly that. I think it’s a stretch.
But, if your actions are causing people to make that type of speculation, a normal person would at least take some time for self reflection.
Whether true or not, it’s a bad look.
Whatever legacy Biden hoped to leave is irrevocably trashed IMHO.
