Bruh, that high ranking cop ain't on the front lines to keep protestors under control, it's to keep the cops under control...

He isn't there because he wants to be, it's from pressure of the city government who are doing it because they're getting pressure from the DNC.

And he knows if he's not physically there, cops are gonna cop.

The families confirmed that bullet fragments were indeed found in and near the bodies of their relatives. However, they have not yet received the final ballistics report with comprehensive details.

Really it just means that there was bullets fired around them at some point.

There's no way to say it proves they were killed before, during, or after. Doesn't even prove who shot them.

Hell, it doesn't even prove the gunshots killed them, or who shot them.

Literally all it proves is some of them were at some point shot.

Everything else is useles conjecture.

Considering the source is rightwing Bibi supporters, you could make the argument it's outright propaganda. MBFC already does...

When covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they usually use emotionally charged wording, such as in this article, with a quote that reads, “Peace between Israel and the UAE could have benefitted the Palestinians enormously, but they prefer to cling to frustration, anger, and dreams that will never come true.”

In general, they hold right-leaning biases and sometimes publish misinformation in support of Israel’s government (propaganda).

It's fine man.

You want meaningless actions that dont do anything except good people losing power.

I want people in power to do everything they can with that power to stop a genocide.

We just disagree.

So you think that Biden will replace her with someone who will be in more in favor of genocide?

Absolutely, Biden supports Israel unconditionally and even went around Congress to avoid a delay in a weapons shipment. That violated US and international law and makes him a full on war criminal.

But an ambassader has absolutely no power to do anything about it. They have almost no power really, just a whole bunch of privilege which is why those spots are usually favors.

She can stay and try to do what little good she can and use the platform afforded by her position to advocate for the right thing...

Or she could resign and maybe have a single article written while her replacement would be appointed by Biden.

This ain't complicated man. But it's important to understand so if you still have questions I'll answer them.

How did it work when people resigned under trump?

Did it make his admin better?

Or did trump replace them with worse people and do worse shit?

This ain't a hypothetical, we literally just saw how it plays out...

Yeah, but hes also had a legit mullet his whole life and that doesnt do too badly either...

He didn't get it for that tho. But yeah, in general country girls do legitimately like guys in ridiculously huge trucks.

It's a real thing.

The confusing part is people thinking it works in a city.

But there’s no way these people stay Democratic in four years time

But there is...

Run more popular candidates and count on Republicans to keep running the same shitty Republicans.

We went from Obama (who wasn't perfect as president, but a great candidate) to Hillary and Joe. And regardless of your opinion on them as presidents, most agree they were shit tier candidates.

We dont have to start running shitty candidates, so we don't have to lose those voters next election.

It's stupidly easy to beat Republicans, the money just doesn't want what voters want. So the party aims for just popular enough to get elected, but still doing all the shitty stuff the money wants.

If Republicans win every once and a while. It's even better for the money, so they just don't have any downsides.

It's why we desperately need to get money out of at least Dem primary's like Bernie keeps saying.

Trump wholely controls the RNC, they're not working against him.

Republican voters are willing to vote for Harris when they wouldn't vote Biden, because Biden was just honestly a bad candidate. Now that the candidate is better, more people are willing to cross party lines and vote D.

It would have happened in 2016 and 2020 too if we ran better candidates.

Hell, it happened 2008 and 2012 when Obama ran. Not only did people vote for him. He flipped a lot of state governments in "red states" blue.

Because he changed people's minds about what the democratic party was.

A lot of the time they're paid overtime rates by the company and not being paid by the city.

They're private security but still wear cop uniforms, drive cop cars, and often sit in their cars burning gas we pay for with taxes.

Businesses are fine paying it, because it's better than paying taxes for real policing and having to wait.

It's moving to full on privatized policing, gated communities do the same shit rather than pay taxes.

When this stuff happens, it never ends well for anyone, but often eventually results in sociatial progress once the ashes settle.

Mixing ride height to that extent is something no one that knows what they're doing would do...

So they'll probably sell a lot to the idiots buying lifted trucks who just want to be able to say they could tow something but still never will.

If your boss wants you to do something unethical, you should either resign or speak up against it. Anything else is full complicity.

You don't remember the last admin?

Shit got worse when people resigned and were replaced by worse people...

Did you miss all of that?

If everyone that wants to do the right thing resigns and are replaced by people willing to do anything, the net result is the admin gets worse while retaining all the same power.

Sometimes you have to do all the good you can do, or choose to do nothing at all.

That's just life...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Yep.

They saw trump and just saw an opportunity to do whatever they want because trump is terrible.

So we get stuck with unpopular candidates the country had rejected multiple times. Because the people calling the shots in the party just really weren't concerned about if trump won.

Letting a progressive become president means they name the head of the DNC, and that has ripple effects throughout DNC leadership they'll never be able to reclaim.

So they'd always prefer a Republican president and them retaining power to a progressive Dem becoming president.

We ain't fighting the same fight party leadership is fighting.
