Why aren't you asking Trump to advocate for stopping the killing?

[-] BilliamBoberts@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

You do realize that if trump wins, there is a very real possibility he'll nuke Gaza himself? Because I need to know you understand that. Kamala might not be as harsh on bibi as you'd like, but she'll work towards a ceasefire. Trump has threatened to nuke foreign countries before but was stopped by his staff like his former chief of staff, john kelly, and his former secretary of defense mark milley (both of whom have recently come out and described trump as a fascist btw). And that staff won't be around this time to stop him. He's surrounding himself with sycophants who will blindly do his bidding.

The Ukrainian army should just drop leaflets written in Korean that say "defect and we will feed you" I'm sure they'd all drop their weapons and run across no man's land.

Nope, I stay in the slow lane, unless my exit is in the left lane of course.

I leave enough room for me to have time to react and give the person behind me enough time to react to my breaking. Because most people drive way too close to avoid a rear-end collision if I have to slam my breaks for an emergency. Sometimes that means I'm 4, 5 or 6 car lengths away from the car in front of me, but that has the added benefit of pissing off tailgators who will almost immediately choose to pass me which works out great for me. The less space the person behind gives, the more space I leave between me and the person in front.

As an IT guy, I'd love to give software devs full admin rights to their computer to troubleshoot and install anything as they see fit, it would save me a lot of time out of my day. But I can't trust everyone in the organization not to click suspicious links or open obvious phishing emails that invite ransomware into the organization that can sink a company overnight.

Ok, how about from the New Testament: "Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” - Mark 12:31

Chuck Schumer introduced the 'no kings act' which, if passed into law, would:

  1. Reaffirm that president's and vice president's do not have immunity for actions that violate U.S. criminal law
  2. Remove the supreme court's appellate jurisdiction for all actions challenging the constitutionality of this legislation (referring to the no kings act I believe)
  3. Establish additional jurisdiction and procedural guardrails. Allowing the United States to bring criminal action against a President or Vice President in any applicable district Court.

I think this is a good stop gap and I will be emailing my senators and representative to support this bill

I talked to some friends after the debate who claim to be independent and they said they still thought they both were terrible. I don't understand how anyone could equate Harris with Trump, especially after Jan 6

Why do users hit me up on teams to ask me to help them with something, and when I ask if they are available for me to stop by, they ignore me? Then I go on about my day, and my manager comes to me later saying they complained that I never showed up to help them. Am I missing some unspoken rule of modern american office culture?
