Jurisdiction shopping is a real problem. Conservatives know they can file any case in one of these small districts with a Trump wacko as the sole judge, and enforce whatever legal hackery they want.

This seems particularly dumb, they didn’t look at the disastrous “remain in Mexico” policy across the pond and realize it’s unrealistic?

Also, Albania is an EU membership candidate undergoing accession negotiations so like, what? These super expensive facilities aren’t gonna be “outside the EU” forever

It’s time for another episode of “Everything I Don’t Like Is Socialism” with Donnie Temper Tantrum!

I don’t think he’s being naive, he knows Trump is going to hang him out to dry, and he can’t win without ongoing US support. So if he’s come to the conclusion that defeat is inevitable, or at least that victory is impossible, then it makes sense to start posturing to that effect, to try to get the best outcome possible later at the negotiating table.

Books are for banning, not reading. Under His Eye.

Does this fall under protecting or serving?

Is there any partial immunity conferred by this? I wasn’t sure if monkeypox is a virus related enough for the vaccine to have that effect. The smallpox vaccine does nothing against chicken pox, for example

Well, I meant as in, without actively changing anything, like going to the gym more or whatever. Just passive environmental changes.

Not really surprising when all food is so processed and pumped full of all kinds of bullshit, from high fructose corn syrup to preservatives to you name it.

Fun anecdote - I moved to Europe from the states a year back, and lost almost 20 pounds in that time without explicitly doing anything different. Just from the better food quality, and walking more in daily life (walkable cities and good public transportation!)

This is a shit ruling that punishes American citizens as much as immigrants, by preventing them from legalizing their wives and husbands. What are you supposed to do if you fall in love with someone who happens to be undocumented? Fuck you, I guess?

Tasty burgers. Mmmm

DW isn’t actually banned from broadcasting in Germany but I don’t believe they broadcast at all anymore, since the target audience is international. But regardless, yeah they are a high quality channel with factual reporting.

DW and BBC are both publicly owned news organizations with good reputations for high quality reporting and journalistic integrity.

You hear that, federate.cc users? All 5 of you? 😉

Thank god he’s old, then, because he’s not going to last long enough to be long time dictator. But maybe thats not the point, even if trump is gone, if hardcore republicans dismantle elections to ensure they’re perpetually in power, then who the current figurehead is will be the least of our problems

Anybody got that American political plane meme handy?

And 56% in favor of legalizing weed. Which is exactly why they raised the threshold for ballot measures to pass.

Isn’t Jill Stein effectively a republican asset at this point? Like not just a spoiler candidate but one actively funded by the right?

The ambien made me honest!
