"The American nationals arrested were named as Alexey Brayman—a lawful permanent U.S. resident who lives in New Hampshire—and Vadim Yermolenko, a U.S. citizen living in New Jersey.". | True. It depends though if they were naturalized (is that the right word?) themselves or 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants. You do need a certain personal history in order to pass the cultural vibecheck of the country you're applying for citizenship for... or you can fake it. | 1 |
How evil the CCP is makes The USA look like a naughty child that won't play fair by comparison. That being said..... | I'm not a physics professor but my understanding is that It's possible to orbit and be in airspace but being so low makes the orbit unstable. | 0 |
Their reasoning was that to qualify for ballots, state law said that an initiative had to present an equal number of petition signatures from each of the state’s five congressional districts (a requirement meant to ensure that Jackson couldn’t get do a ballot initiative on its own.). | 2. Jackson has been systematically neglected by the state government for generations, and have consistently shown they do not have Jackson's best interests at heart. | 1 |
Was she born in Canada or is she from one of the Russified countries? There are so many people who aren't from mainland Russia and have never been to Russia, but they're from one of the neighboring states, speak Russian and consider themselves both ethnically and culturally Russian. | That's likely due to Russia encouraging emigration so they can claim a sizeable Russian population in a foreign country's region so they can prevent them from joining the UN or NATO, as well as gives flimsy legitimacy to invade their neighbours under the pretense of "It's basically Russian!". | 1 |
People on Twitter are still saying they don't care. It's clear that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. This is unfortunately where we are today. If the information doesn't match your current beliefs, then it must be incorrect. | Edit: if there's any misunderstanding here, I'm saying people, not myself, are saying on twitter there were clear election fraud. This isn't something I believe as there are no evidence to support that claim. | 0 |
Yep. I could never agree with a conservative, but I can respect the principled ones who are willing to compromise. Despite being solidly on the left side of the political spectrum for life, I firmly believe we need other points of view, and corrupt/maga conservatives are denying actual conservative viewpoints to our en... | I lived in AZ for years and I still have friends and family there. Goldwater's influence is still strong there, and he fucking hated these sleazy, maga-style types (yeah it wasn't called maga back then but these people have been around forever). I was not surprised that Arizona went blue in this era- they're not less c... | 0 |
That’s not to say that these workers don’t deserve sick time or that there’s no argument to support the labor unions here, of course. I just think it’s worthwhile to not reduce such a nuanced and complex issue into overly simplified buckets of good and evil. | Eh. This is not an issue that’s as black and white as it’s being presented to be. There’s an obvious “rail bosses vs. rank-and-file” angle here, to be sure, but there’s also a lot more to it than that. | 0 |
And both Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh have said that any Republican Senator who chose to vote yes on this bill should be kicked out of the party. That there should be some sort of a litmus test for the GOP. Good luck trying to win elections with 30% support of such a position on an issue as gay marriage. | 30% and shrinking, every year there's going to be fewer and fewer hardliners against gay marriage. They'll never entirely go away, we still got people weird about interracial marriage, but the trend is towards acceptance. | 1 |
The Russians can all wave the white flag, and have the drones inspect them close up to drop all their weapons. Then they can follow the drones for a proper “rendezvous” so to speak…. | Soldiers cannot be lowering their weapons in the middle of the battle to “guess and choose” which enemy has surrendered and which ones are still fighting. If bullets are flying, it is still and combat zone. No POWS will be taken despite them trying to. | 0 |
It's mental that the far right in Sweden regurgitating Russian propaganda is blaming the fact that they do so on the American left. | That this came from the US, the implication that the right wing part of the "cultural war" is a reaction to the left, and that things can only get worse. | 0 |
If you voted remain, the obvious first step after the referendum is looking into gaining permanent residence in the EU, because you'd likely be hyper aware of that particular downside to Brexit. And you'd continue to pay attention to politics to find out when you'd have to apply, because you couldn't really apply for p... | I think it works for EU offshore oilrig workers as well. There are some oddities with offshore oilrigs as the workers lives on the rigs while they are working. | 0 |
Now China is probably going to simply play cheap tricks in an attempt to fool the world; for example, renaming the virus like the article mentioned. | The entire theatre revolving China and COVID should put an end to the myth of the Chinese system being efficient and consistent. China went from locking millions down on a whim and exaggerating the virus to hasty reopening and trivializing the virus in a few weeks. China is far from done with the virus, permanent lockd... | 0 |
Former President Donald Trump already faced down one hard-driving special counsel investigation without catching a criminal charge. | But his best moves from that tumultuous episode in U.S. history won’t work against new Special Counsel Jack Smith. | 0 |
A true conservative Republican governor would not stand a chance here. Our legislatures have veto proof Democrat majorities. We have 40 senators - 37 are Democrats, 160 in the General Court (our lower chamber), 139 are Democrats. Baker has worked well with them, though of course they don't agree on everything. | MA is not alone, VT has a Republican governor who like Baker is a moderator - socially liberal, fiscally conservative. In fact moderate Republican governors once was the norm throughout New England. | 0 |
That's true, and I'm not saying they won't need them to some extent. But without daily flights to the major US cities and EU capitals, they can squeek by with a smaller fleet, gradually cannibalising some of their stock. | It's also worth noting that "russifying" of Russian commercial aircraft began years ago, in reaction to concern over how sanctions would effect aircraft imports, as well as joint ventures like the Superjet. | 0 |
Tell that to any abuse victim who cried and demanded to be removed from abusive households from young childhood, who were dismissed and ignored, sometimes with dumbass excuses like yours. | Parents go No-Contact with abusive family members, abusive family members outrage at the loss of control/scapegoat. So they first rage, then try to hoover back with lovebombs, then when all that fails, they try to sue for their 'right to see their grandchildren'. | 1 |
Yes she should serve her jail term, which she did, many times over! Russia however just arbitrarily changed the punishment and people like you seem to ignore that part. | Except that's not what happened. Yes she's an idiot for not checking the law. But the law in Russia specifically states that having less than 6 grams of Cannabis carries a fine or 15 days in prison. | 0 |
It means the Saudi prime minister has just learned the phrase "all bets are off" and was trying to use it. | Since the topic of Iran's nuclear weapon predates Windows XP, the Saudi prime minister thought it is safe to use it. | 0 |
The difference is that this is an official statement from the US gov't, which means they already have solid evidence and probably the entire supply chain mapped from the factory floor through shipping to detonation inside Ukraine. | This statement is intended for the Iranian regime, not the rest of us, and Iran would be wise to heed the implications. | 0 |
But it’s still stupid to pay the same amount I pay for Spotify and STILL have ads. Imagine listening to an album and every like 10 songs it’s just “thanks for paying the bills, we think you’ll love Febreeze!”. | For instance, the best way to use twitter (imo) is to follow funny accounts you like and enjoy engaging with. Then use pinned lists for other things. So I have pinned lists for news, politics, instead eating stuff etc. that way the algorithm is keeping me amused but I have the option of diving into another group if I w... | 0 |
All of them mentioned how Russians simply used their conscripts as decoy - they would send them first to have them instantly killed by Ukrainians, which would allow them to discover the positions of these Ukrainians and direct attilery strikes at them. This is why Ukrainians and foreign volunteers had to learn guerrill... | I remember reading interviews with Polish volunteers that fought for Ukraine in the first months of the war. | 0 |
You are correct in principle. However, there are many unanswered questions about his taxes because they haven't not been audited in detail. Obama and Biden have been audited (and released their returns) but for some reason the IRS didn't have the staff to even start on DJT until 2019 (coincidentally the same day the Ho... | It's possible everything is 100% honest and above board. But it's also quite possible that the tax returns follow the letter of the law in how the paperwork is put together and how deductions are claimed, but those numbers don't accurately reflect reality. Given the high profile of this particular taxpayer, his claims ... | 0 |
Meh, it’ll be fine. Comparing it to Brexit is laughably hyperbolic… all of the squeaky wheels on Reddit complaining about implementation and sale stoppages will disappear by March, guaranteed. | I accept everything you’re saying; at the end of the day, I’m content to deal with these short-term headaches in exchange for the most sweeping and strict gun control law in the country. I agree with the points you’re saying, but the reaction I’m struck with is an overwhelming meh. | 0 |
"Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was nominated the Nobel Peace Prize by Turkish parliamentary speaker Mustafa Şentopfor for his supposed efforts in resolving the Ukrainian crisis.". | I.e. All Erdogan needed to get his nomination was to have on of his cronies in his government nominate him. | 1 |
I was just pointing out that if someone is wearing a suicide vest and blows it up, they probably weren’t an innocent civilian. | This sounds more like a partially successful suicide bombing than a successful assasination, this guy can't have been that important if they had him in a suicide vest. | 1 |
The mere act of Russia negotiating with Ukraine is an acknowledgement that Ukraine is a sovereign country. | No: what should Ukraine offer to Russia in negotiations? In other words, "In exchange for you pulling out all your forces and stopping your attacks against us, we will give you X". What should "X" be, in your view? | 1 |
Republicans have made their point. Now let's see if Polis, Abbot, DeSantis and all the rest are actually interested in doing something about the issue. | they aren't illegal, they have been screened and released to await their asylum hearings. These migrants we're talking about crossed legally, followed the process and have broken no laws. Calling them illegals makes you look like an ignorant, racist moron. | 0 |
Yeah, kicking out Orban’s Hungary would be a very clear message that NATO won’t tolerate fascist belligerents within its ranks, and Erdogan might be a little triggered by that notion. | As a Hungarian I call for the immediate review of Hungary in Nato - I would add Eurozone but countries do have a right to refuse policies and its a more convoluted agreement, but Nato should tell them what the stick looks like. | 1 |
Landlords, specifically the type that owns single family housing and rents it out, are literally using other people's income to pay the mortgages on those houses while making the renters pay more than the mortgage costs. They provide nothing, if they stopped being a landlord those houses would still exist on the market... | He literally celebrated the deaths of these people as content for his show. In other words, he used their deaths for profit, to further his career. Should we not live by the golden rule? Treat others as you wish to be treated? Where was Limbaugh's compassion? Where was Sen. Samuel Thompson's compassion all these years?... | 0 |
The GOP also forgot to wait until there were fewer women alive who remembered what it was like before Roe; who had friends or family get seriously ill or die due to botched abortions or miscarriages. | > "It was the 'abortion issue,' poorly handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on No Exceptions, even in the case of Rape, Incest, or Life of the Mother, that lost large numbers of Voters. Also, the people that pushed so hard, for decades, against abortion, got their wish from the U.S. Suprem... | 1 |
11% of Begich's (R) voters decided they'd rather have Peltola (D) as their second choice rather than a Trump-backed Republican. | Thankfully many who voted for the 2nd republican listed Peltola second instead of a Republican 1-2 vote. | 1 |
The plan was quite simple. It was to trigger a contingent election in congress, where each state gets one vote. They simply wanted to prevent the certification from happening, hoping Pence would simply halt it would have been the easy way, otherwise they moved forward with the bloody way. | Trump wins that "election" in congress. Then it would obviously go to court where (I'm sure this is where Ginni Thomas comes in it was probably pre-arranged) SCOTUS puts a bow of legitimacy on the contingent election and says yes this is all well and good. From there we never again have an election for President. | 0 |
Friend A: Oh that's interesting, so your father tell you that: "Hey champ, grab this bill of 10$ and go buy a condom for me so tonight I can fuck your mother". | Friend B: Yeah, and your that bastard thief whose father doesn't trust him to give him money to buy condoms... | 0 |
What do you do about 25 million starving, apparently parasite invested, poorly/un/mis educated that are in an active civil war that may or may not try to include S Korea in the fight? Do you really want to trigger a war that will result in the slaughter of these people? It will be a slaughter. As soon as the US or S Ko... | The "US vs China battle" happens when the regime is toppled. US and China will both want to install a puppet they can control but it's unlikely they'll go to a conventional war against each other just for that. | 1 |
