Thank you for posting this. I was just about to ask.

Absolutely.

Every time I hear someone question the safety of self-driving cars, I know they've never been to Philadelphia or NJ.

There was endless handwringing about Obama hitting that dude with a drone strike. But regardless... are you seriously going to pretend that is at all comparable to what is happening right now? A US citizen, in a foreign war zone, fighting for the enemy vs. kidnapping and trafficking US citizens from their homes in the US to a prison in El Salvador. A country they've never been to. C'mon bro.

You should proofread, bro. But I think I get your meaning.

It's not for you or me to claim or "pretend" that any of these alleged crimes are comparable (unless we're on the jury). It's not the president's job either, really. That's why we have judges, juries, trials, and all that other boring "due process" shit.

Thank you for at least trying to answer the question. Even though I do secretly believe that assassination is more severe than deportation, I was genuinely asking about the difference in public response instead. I don't recall nearly as much "handwringing" about Obama killing a kid, but that could just be because I was paying less attention to news during that time in my life.

I really don't understand why people are upset about due proces now. The US established over 10 years ago that it's OK to kill US citizens if they're "terrorists". But deportation is crossing the line?

Am I missing something on this subject? Or is it just typical political hypocrisy?

I switched to Libre as well a month or so ago. The only thing I miss from Firefox is eing able share passwords/tabs/etc between mobile and desktop, but it's not enough to make me switch back.

No, they need a platform that people will vote for. They need to earn our votes with something more than "Trump is worse".

What did they leak? How did the author and The Verge decide this article was ready for publication?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Exactly. How do "journalists" hear something like this and not immediately ask "so what else did he do just now that we should really be covering"?

Isn't is just from having been Speaker? Even though she no longer is, that gives her a distinction from the hundreds of other people in Congress.
