Democracy is four cannibals deciding what’s for dinner.

If it had been, it would have been multiple health and employment violations.

I had to do the thorough federal check once and they only went back 10 years. My summers cutting lawns didn’t have to go on the form.

And that’s the number of crossing encounters; likely the same people attempted to cross many times, and 78% of the time they were caught.

Oftentimes, people aren’t crossing the border to find a new life in the US; they’re crossing to visit friends, do some shopping/smuggling, or find some itinerant work, after which they cross the other direction.

It would be a nice Lemmy feature if posts and comments under, say, -20 were auto-collapsed. That would allow people to still see unpopular content without everyone having to wade through it.

“Trump tax plans could exempt 93 millionaire Americans from income taxes”

Someone dropped the “aire” somewhere, that’s all.

That’s great; you should always have a full slate of scrutineers.

Are the Democrats also recruiting an army of scrutineers? Because we know about Republicans and projection.

So… is that enough votes by their constitution to move ahead with the constitutional rewrite?

I figured they might have done a dry run through with him at Mar a Lago before he flew out… but you’re right; he probably thought shaking the basket looked like fun and did it because he’d seen the employee do it.

Yeah; my reaction to the headline was “…and good riddance?”

I never signed up for Facebook in the first place because I knew some of the people involved in the original Facebook. I didn’t want them getting their hands on my personal info because I knew what they’d do with it… and they did.

Their fries are definitely different; probably designed to minimize steps.

It suggests that Trump may have practiced making fries sometime though; just not in a McDonald’s.

Over half will. Of those, some will overlook it focusing instead on the perceived intent (“he’s trying to be like one of us”). The rest will vote for someone else.

MUCH earlier. That was his role in the 1980s.

Only by the Conservatives. They’re already reaching out to see what it would take to get the Greens to form government with them.

Hopefully the answer will be “You do know your policies are precisely what we’re campaigning against, right?” BUT one of the Green seats is West Van, so anything is possible.

I find it interesting that for decades, I heard people saying “gotta vote liberal/conservative to keep the conservatives/liberals from getting in. NDP? They have no experience governing and look at the debt the SoCreds got us into.”

And now that they’ve finally had a chance, they’ve shown us they can do a pretty good job without the corruption of the Liberals or the “burn everything down and revert to the 1950s” of the Conservatives.

What they haven’t figured out yet, because they’re actually about governing the people and not about gaining advantage for a minority group, is how to market themselves and distract people with single issue causes.

Ah; that makes sense.

Tor is indeed about providing cover. US Military and US and German covert operations use it, and hide in the noise. But in those situations, it’s a win/win, as they provide funding and everyone gets to have a somewhat secure channel.

I’d argue though that in any case where you don’t control the exit node, you have no expectation of real privacy. So it becomes a question of how much you’re willing to trade.

China has been focusing on influencing local elections for over a decade. What’s changing is that we’re starting to notice.

He nop’d on an interview targeting young black voters. That will probably excite his supporters and cement their desire to vote for him.

The irony is that even the ones filmed before a live studio audience dubbed in laugh tracks.
