Yes. Emphatically so.
The more efficient government is, the easier it is to usurp power.

Let’s hope that’s all he bombs, right?
Oh, give it a rest.
Want an irrefutably illegal executive order? How about the one the directly contradicts the Constitution?
But yes, go “just ask questions” somewhere else please.
Dune: The Butlerian Jihad (Bryan Herbert and Kevin J Anderson)
I’ve long been a fan of the original Dune series, but only found out about the prequel books about half a year ago. So with the new movies, the new series that centers around the origins of the Sisterhood, and Denis Villeneuve doing a treatment of the events following Paul’s ascension to the throne, I figured there’s no better time to dive into the prehistory of the setting!
So now we’re looking at Greenland and Panama turning into Trump’s Saarland and Rhineland.
Fuck sake.
I can’t tell if you’re actually serious or not. Did you even attempt to search? Frankly there’s honestly too many for me to be bothered listing here. Furthermore, if you are actually asking on good faith, there have been numerous news articles posted to Lemmy directly, as well as easily available elsewhere.
That said, your whole tone almost screams “I’m just asking questions!”, and I have better things to do.
Somewhat ironically, they understaffed the airport they all fly through, and yet somehow it was innocent civilians that died.
I detest this timeline. I am disgusted, really. I’ve never quite understood hate, though; to me hate feels like making a solemn vow that subject of my hate will always have power over me. Because hate is irrational. It overpowers reason. But it is only through reason and logic I find myself.
The catch 22 is fear. Fear also deprives is of reason, but it also shames us, lessens us. Just as Yoda taught us, “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
I don’t wanna suffer anymore. But I don’t want anyone else to suffer, either. Not even those responsible; I just want them gone from our timeline.
Yes? And if you fight fire with fire the whole world burns.
I do not blame you. I just happen to be the most stubborn idiot I know. shrug
Edit: I go back to my feed and see this:
Got a good chuckle at the bitter irony…
And yet, it us that will take the beating, not Trump. Just saying.
I fucking hate this timeline.
I keep seeing people say this. However, hate is what created this timeline. I don’t believe it’s what will get us into a new one.
I mean no offense towards you; I want you to know this. I guess I just finally realized what it is that bothers me about that statement. In fact, I share your sentiment. Because not only are they poorly made, common sense safety measures are removed and replaced with poorly engineered crap that traps people, while other badly designed components catch fire and burn them to death.
What?!? Hurt Trump??? No. Untold number of us outright lost their life last time Trump was in power. And the rest of us were further disenfranchised. But did that hurt him? Hell no! The ambulatory orange painted turd got reelected!
Besides, people are already hungry and destitute. What’s actually happening? The ones in need are having their very existence criminalized, or to be blunt, enslaved. Or they die under the blade of a bulldozer while they sleep.
Zero assets? Yeah, I really doubt that. He’s not smart. And his popularity? You think any of these sociopaths in power actually like each other? Not a chance.
The moment there’s no chance of material gain by sucking up to him, he’d be tossed aside.
I really wish we’d stop hero worshipping the most worthless fools amongst us.
And, again, that hurts Putin how, exactly? I didn’t say Russia, nor did I mention the Russian people.
No, sanctions are not working; by punishing the citizens for his actions we are simply adding more fervor to their own state propaganda. But the very real harm the citizenry there are experiencing means nothing to that walking slime.
I have nothing against the Russian people, nor the people of any other nation. It is possible to separate the actions and views of the sociopathic elite usurpers from the people they pretend to represent.
This problem is happening everywhere. I stand in solidarity with the working class, no matter where they call home.
Absolutely was not above board, I’m afraid. Pretty sure they took a task force that was supposed to look for ways to streamline the IT services of the executive branch and handed it to Musk. But since members of that team didn’t need confirmation (given they had no authority to enact what’s going) they used that as their excuse that it’s legitimate.
You may want to do a little research and see if your community has a good clinic to visit. Please be cautious, though! There are unfortunately a large number of places that advertise free testing, but if you make an appointment they will do everything in their power to make sure you carry it to term, including downright abusive manipulation.
That said, there’s still a lot of clinics out there that actually put your own well-being first, not just medically, but also in terms of respecting what you want as an outcome of this.
I wish you the best of luck! As a guy, I know I literally cannot even imagine what you are going through; so just know this internet stranger offers free virtual hugs!
You are absolutely incorrect. The similarity in the tests doesn’t mean a thing.
The correct answer is yes, that is a positive result for a pregnancy test. No two ways about it.
Edit: I appreciate the action my fellow lemming took; only leaving this comment for the sake of dispelling misinformation. Nothing personal! (The timing of my comment was unfortunate - just a side effect of federation)
I see no facts in your statement either.
And just because something is difficult to achieve automatically means it’s wrong to try?
