Hmm it's almost like the feds need a union... ... ... ... 👀

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 hours ago

This is illegal and two things will be done about it. Jack and shit

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

Should've blamed Martians. Worked for me that one time.

The day this pedo king strokes out will become a national holiday

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I doubt it will change much, the rest of the party is still in tact. They'll just move Vance to to king dipshit and continue as they were.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 40 minutes ago

Is he really capable of leading the party he's always struck me as the sort of person that would get out of depth in a slightly melted ice cube. Trump gets away with it because he just says it all does something ridiculous and then the story moves on to that. Vance doesn't really command the kind of following they need.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

Pedo king is fitting.

Trump the King of the pedophilia, protector of corruption, leader of the racist white army.

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 hours ago

I will be so happy, i don't even know what i will do.

I'm addition to everyone else here's much more pressing political concerns, this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines.

Mossad should release autoreply_writer.exe

I'd be more concerned about the programs the government is installing onto the machines

This is what happens when the people exposed to the highest levels of lead are give access to all the hate they can eat and free-reign to use that lowered cognitive function in positions of power.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 36 points 15 hours ago

Why is my soup so cold? Blame the democrats!

[–] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

What is that thumbnail? Looks like some independence day shit.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You're only wishing the aliens would come take over.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Anal probing would be a welcome change of pace.

Dare I say Trump is the next Hitler

You cannot fucking tell me that he does shit like this and nobody gives a damn. This has to be illegal

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 hours ago

It is. But nothing will be done about it

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Does anyone have the article or at least what the wording was changed to ? Blocked by paywall for me

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)
[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm reading lemmy using the Android voyager client, which seems to open the default Samsung browser which is quite limited in what it can do. I don't see any options in the settings to force it to use Firefox, or any other browser unfortunately.

So googling for "remove paywall" is not helpful

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 46 minutes ago

I have no idea how similar the settings screens are, but in the iOS voyager client there is some kind of option if you go to:

settings

general

other

Hatch act, it is in fact illegal.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 23 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He basically shredded the Hatch act his first term, there were no consequences, of course he's just gonna flat out ignore it this time.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago
[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 12 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Forcing those military generals to sit through a campaign speech showed that the Hatch Act is basically dead.

We need to give courts the power to order people with guns to enforce their rulings, lowe courts too

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

We have that. Most judges can empower a Marshall or Marshalls. A federal judge can empower a federal Marshall and a state judge a state Marshall.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 78 points 19 hours ago

I think we're way past what's legal or not in this shithole. His whole point from the beginning was that he could shoot someone and nothing would happen and americans were like: wow. I like guns too.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 54 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

it may well be illegal, but when has that stopped the 34 time felon rapist in chief?

[–] lukaro@lemmy.zip 26 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

34 times convicted felon, who knows how many more he's committed without being convicted.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

i mean, technically you're not a felon until you're convicted of a felony.

[–] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Trump was convicted of those 34 felonies, he just wasn't punished for them.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I know. I was saying how the parent comment said that he had other felonies, just wasn’t convicted of them. you're not a felon until you're convicted of a felony.
