I don’t care about the 25th because this joker will let Congress go back to business-as-usual, pretending they’ve fixed anything. No. you morons own Orange man and the office you’ve inflated to insane levels of power over the last few decades.

If the 25th fails, there’s a chance they walk any of the various expansions of the Executive Branch’s power back at all. Otherwise, Congress is perfectly happy to let one man have the power to bomb other countries without so much as a nod to Congressional Authorization; To their way of thinking, its plausible deniability, when really its little-if-any short of saying “The King Must Crusade, after all”. Basically a declaration of on-going war against the world, and they’ve gotten by with pretending otherwise for too long.

I mean, yes, but I thought you were saying her politics weren’t left-enough to be called such. Justifying a leftist terrorist attack that killed 25 people seems enough to warrant the label on its own, to me.

I might be far-enough left to quote one of said terrorists, but 50 years later, just quoting them saying “we were right because Palestine” without context or qualification of any sort …

… I can see why she would take it down, and I’m not sure I could ever be so impulsive as to go there and retract like-so. Then again, I haven’t been able to find the Tweet itself, and it wouldn’t surprise me to find that the article-spam is misrepresenting it.

go on …

Let them toll it. Let Orange man seethe.

Or, you know, try to penalize the country that did their homework and has both the real means of enforcement and is offering, frankly, a better and more diplomatic solution than the rest of the world has any right to expect at this point.

AI-products already can’t be copyrighted. Copyrighted works are usually labelled as such. I don’t get why anyone would think its everything else that needs labelled. Sign your shit, sue people who fake your signature or misuse your oc’s/trademarks, done. Doesn’t matter if they use AI to do it.

… now all we need is the save-file for the PS3 Minecraft tutorial world.

I’m guessing they mean mostly un-currated/un-modderated? … “features” I don’t desire in such a site anyways.

amazon bought-out abebooks. Biblio.com is where its at.

In all honesty, there should probably be no NSFW announcements here, or no thumbnails.

FIX YOUR SIDEBARS TO INCLUDE PROPER DESCRIPTIONS OF YOUR ABBREVIATIONS ASSHOLES!!!

… actually, !newcommunities@lemmy.world should probably mandate post-approval and only approve New Community posts for those that set a proper title and description.

There hasn’t been a good excuse for abbreviated Titles outside of the URL since the first browser-wars were a topic.

Like Lemmynsfw before it, you have to sub and view the content from your local instance, or make an account on the nsfw instance, it seems.

I want to disagree with you, but it would work just fine as you’ve laid it out.

TF happened to Lemmynsfw? I hadn’t noticed yet.

Just a part of you?

You think the boundaries weren’t spelled out? I mean, we all know “international law” is a joke 1st world countries ignore versus their own actions and the rest of the world, but versus eachother? “Don’t fuck with us and we won’t fuck with you” is stupidly over-defined.

The same for the financial enmeshment that sees this threat well-inside the realm of potential reality. Europe never promised not to sell these debts. The fact the US can’t complain about it if they do is part of what makes it a good threat. Are you not familiar with “soft power”, like, at all?

You might have begun to be onto something if this was the only threat in Europes hand, but let’s be real for a moment: the deck is stacked so badly in Europe’s favor towards a half-dozen or so Royal Flushes that come with a free(if unwanted) blow-job, and dozens of other relatively-painless-to-Europe-but-enough-to-Fuck-up-a-US-election-cycle-or-three options, its absurd, so saying “maybe they could, but should they?” is insincere and enabling at best.

Pretend this is a Zoo; The signs say such things as “Please Don’t Feed Pedo-Hitler”, and “Break Glass For Free Dart-Gun in Case of Escaped Pedo-Hitler” … you’re the person hemming and hawing about someone else maybe breaking the glass while escaped Pedo-Hitler stalks a pre-school class. Could you at least get out of the way of the other adults, or are you cool with it being assumed you are happy to see Pedo-Hitler on the wrong side of the barriers?

The people living there in 20 years STILL won’t control their own lands, you mean. If I’m wrong, I might then consider your implication that those people won’t count as Europeans, but to that I would only say “GOOD FOR THEM THEN!”

Trump didn’t specify how we would remove Maduro in the same way its pointless for Europe to specify exactly how they could or would retaliate. Its more than enough for there to be multiple options to make them all valid when it comes time to say “we warned you”.

Please don’t confuse my enthusiasm for one option that’s been shown to be possible and devestating, for me saying this is the only option Europe should consider. On the contrary, I’m just wishing they would pick an option that matters and run with it already. All they’ve done is show their belly like a submissive dog.

They don’t even appear to care about plausible deniability any more. Arresting Gaza protestors is just such a good, strong-arm look for going against Trump. Fear of Europe must be why so many churches in my area are flying Israeli flags at the moment.

As for how you contradicted yourself, you said “if the threat isn’t listened to then they act on it”, then went on to claim a threat that has to be followed-through on is worthless. On the contrary, a threat that has been known all-along is rendered moot when you spell it out long after the time for it is past.

Its the threat you have to verbalize that’s worthless. Holding a knife to someone’s throat to threaten another person is not the act of someone with any control over their present situation, and its a threat made-up on the spot that’s easilly invalidated in so, so many ways. That scenario is not applicable to Europe versus the US at all.

No one is proposing they rattle their saber. The scale of the threat has long been too great to bother speaking aloud, and putting it into words instead of action would just be laugable.

Again, the “listened to” or no phase is past the horizon, around the curve and honestly several hills and valleys back in the rear-view mirror. A threat that isn’t followed-through on or is spoken only after you’ll obviously never act isn’t even a threat any more; Its a mark of submission.

Nice job contradicting yourself in that second paragraph though. Let me ask you this: Did Trump bother saying we were going to, could, or “should” abduct Maduro in advance?

I held my nose and voted for her. None of my neighbors did. Your sympathy is misplaced.
