This whole thing is McGovern 2.0. Biden is self-destructing his own candidacy in spectacular fashion. It's going to be a disaster in November if Democrats don't do something drastic to turn things around.

On a scale of 1-10 how pacified would you say Republicans are right now?

So the Biden administration is appointing fascist sympathizers to highly sensitive positions?

If there's a fascist at the table...

In each instance, Weiss allegedly fills a shopping cart with hundreds of dollars in merchandise, then scans and pays for a few items to generate a receipt she can show to a store associate as she walks out.

That's certainly a strange new precedent. I hope Congress gets to work quickly writing legislation for all the other amendments before a president realizes there aren't laws spelling out how freedom of speech is defined or how to enforce it, etc. etc.

And the 2nd Amendment!

 

Democrats’ stunning turn-around on U.S.-provided funding for UNRWA is a triumph for hard-right activists and Republican lawmakers who have long sought to undermine the U.N. agency.

 

The cages are getting smaller and more abusive.

The United States government has placed detained immigrants in solitary confinement more than 14,000 times in the last five years, and the average duration is almost twice the 15-day threshold that the United Nations has said may constitute torture, according to a new analysis of federal records by researchers at Harvard and the nonprofit group Physicians for Human Rights.

The report, based on government records from 2018 through 2023 and interviews with several dozen former detainees, noted cases of extreme physical, verbal and sexual abuse for immigrants held in solitary cells.

Overall, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is detaining more than 38,000 people -- up from about 15,000 at the start of the Biden administration in January 2021

Solitary confinement placements in the third quarter of 2023 were 61 percent higher than in the third quarter of the previous year, according to ICE's quarterly reports.

More than 680 cases of isolation lasted at least three months, the records show; 42 of them lasted more than one year.

This is the dumbest take I've seen yet.

Democrats gave up literally everything before even getting to the negotiating table. They've taken the Republicans' wildest dreams and made it their initial offer. Republicans not accepting it and working them even further past that isn't some kind of egg on their face moment, let alone a win, let alone, you know, actually helping people in desperate need of it.

It's wild watching the machinations that liberals go through to be racist while trying to convince people that they're not. The end result of this is going to be even more draconian than what Democrats are offering, and that's perfectly OK with many of them.

And that none of them make the claim that OP suggests.

But this is lemmy.world, facts have no place here. It's all about who can be the louder namecaller.

 

Spoiler: it's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir once again (joined by 11 other ministers this time)
