Look at how Justice Amy Coney Barrett looks at our duly elected President, the man who put her on the Supreme Court. She looks very bitter.
Um, justices don’t owe the president who selected them any favors. Was she supposed to be fawning over him? If she’s beginning to think for herself, and won’t let the big orange baby have everything he wants, good.
Besides, anyone who says she’s “not conservative enough” hasn’t been paying attention.
I’m glad he’s not dismissing America as a whole, but putting the blame where it belongs: Trump.
We are. Even though a lot of us didn’t vote for him, the shame remains.
This is a very thoughtful reply. Thank you for taking the time to write it.
I don’t think he has that authority, but he’d do it anyway. Except he wouldn’t, because fuck you.
I wonder if she’s making those “jokes” because she’s overcompensating, because she’s hanging out with shitty people, or both?
Whatever the reason, I think talking to her is the way to go.
We know that new(er) cars have spyware controlled by some government or corporation. If my privacy is going to be violated, I’d rather have a hostile gov/co do it. I’m not a government employee. When it comes to national security, I’m a complete nobody. I don’t give a shit what Beijing knows about my life, because they don’t care, and probably won’t share info with the West. Maybe they’ll share it with Russia, but again, that’s irrelevant to me.
I want Washington (and, to a much lesser extent, Ottawa) to know as little as possible, because I don’t trust them, and it’s much, much easier for them to make my life difficult if they want to.
I’d like to hear your opinions on this take.
I haven’t printed anything in years, but damn, this sucks.
My guitar teacher had me learn on a steel-string acoustic for this very reason. It sucked at first, but the calluses built up fast. Much, much better than superglue!
A government that will invade on the flimsiest of pretexts, kidnap your citizens, and lie constantly is anything but a “friend”.
Frankly, European politicians should have seen something like this coming. It’s never been a secret that the U.S. doesn’t share the same values as the EU. Storing sensitive data in America? Buying weapons from America? Who the fuck thought outsourcing national security was a good idea?
It will take generations for the U.S. to earn credibility again, and I don’t expect that we’ll ever earn the same level of trust. We don’t deserve it.
Judging by the home page, it appears to be a legitimate news source.
At best, meat grinders are amazingly thoughtless. At worst, they’re a cruel, unfunny prank.
