Donald Trump cast a mail ballot for a Florida special election while demanding Congress pass a law to make mail voting illegal.
He never solves problems he can still use. Republican senators pitched him a plan Sunday night to end the five-week DHS shutdown by funding everything except ICE. Trump rejected it. No deal until Democrats pass the SAVE America Act, he said. His own party calls the voting restrictions bill unrealistic because they can't pass it. But Trump needs the airport lines. They're the only leverage he has to force through a bill that can't pass on its own. That's what he did running for president, when he killed a Republican-led border deal because he needed a border crisis.
The Iran war follows the same logic. He extended his bombing deadline five days and told reporters a deal was close, that there were "major points of agreement." Iran's Foreign Ministry said there is no dialogue between Tehran and Washington. They called his claims an effort to reduce energy prices and buy time. It worked. Oil prices dropped while stock markets rallied. The war is in its fourth week. A dozen American service members are dead, along with more than 1,500 Iranians. That's the cost of keeping a problem alive because it's useful to you.

It's pretty depressing when the "fighting back" section addresses the least important thing in the world.

#1 Iran created a cartoon to explain the situation to pedolf. While clearly an insult to the US as a whole, it also is probably the most effective way to get the message across to brain-rot and his ghouls. Iran is NOT rolling over for the US of Izz. It will just make us all bleed money. No nation in the world wants to help us losers nor should they.

Interestingly I watched a debate on the beeb in the UK this morning showing ministers asking Starmer why Palantir had been handed contracts for defense and Healthcare information management without offering other companies the chance to tender. He bumbled around the answer. It seems we are starting to see real american exports arrive in the UK.

Either bribery or blackmail. Or both just to be completely thorough.

#2 "The U.S.′ Department of the Interior (DOI) announced on Monday what it said was “a landmark agreement” with TotalEnergies for the company “to redirect capital from expensive, unreliable offshore wind leases toward affordable, reliable natural gas projects that will provide secure energy for hardworking Americans.”"
They mean the exact opposite. What the fucking nonsense
LaurieDC24
Ngl I don’t know what’s more insulting. The fact that they even made that deal in the first place or that the company accepted it.
IAmRandyButternubs
Yeah this is ridiculous. This coming from someone whose career is in Oil and Gas.

So expensive and unprofitable, they had to give them a billion to get rid of them. /s

#6 so random dudes that just say "I'm ICE" and refuse to show badges/ID ?how would it go in court if one of them gets merc'd in self defense
Rhythmaster
I'm pretty sure the regime will just shop around for a fascist judge who will issue the maximum penalty for assaulting a federal agent. Fascist regimes protect their secret police. If you think courts side with civilians over cops, you havent been paying attention. Without the HUGE backlash of the george floyd protests, Derek Chauvin would have been cleared by an "internal investigation" and been back out on the beat doing more of the same. He wouldn't have been prosecuted or even fired.

Without a badge you have to assume theyre just kidnappers. What do you do when you see someone being kidnapped?

If they refuse to identify themselves, they are not law enforcement and would be committing battery.

So felons are still allowed to vote?
notsurewhattocallthis
Rules for thee and not for me /s

Its all state depending. But yeah this is fucky.
Dxb105
IRRC Florida let's felons vote if another state says it's okay. I can't remember the details but NY doesn't restrict felons so dunpf can vote in Florida
notsurewhattocallthis
*Florida: depending on skin color. There, I fixed it for them
gonzar09
So, 34 criminal convictions isn't severe enough in Florida?
