Drink their blood. Got it.

She just keeps failing upwards.

I really, really hope that Hegseth takes his “war on beards” bullshit and tries to force the “Tier 1” / Special Mission Unit people to shave their beards and meet his grooming standards.

I don’t understand why they say the minorities they fired were not capable or meritorious.

Because they’re racists and they can get away with saying that.

I also don’t understand why forced de-bearding isn’t a direct violation of religious freedom

Because they control all 3 branches of government, and the Supreme Court is pretty strongly MAGA. So, the prosecutors are owned by Trump and wouldn’t touch a case like that, and a civil lawsuit would just eventually lose.

To be fair they’re silent because, the room was called to attention. When you’re at attention, you don’t clap, you stand still at attention.

warning?

I don’t think your risk assessment is very good.

I wouldn’t go to the US either right now. But, tens of millions of people have visited. A few hundred of those tens of millions have had incredibly bad experiences where they were locked up and then deported. Each one of those stories makes the news because it’s so shocking. It’s a few hundred people up from roughly zero.

North Korea only gets a few thousand western tourists each year, but cases like Otto Warmbier and Jeffrey Edward Fowle’s are pretty common.

America doesn’t have insane gun laws.

No, it has insane gun laws.

The 2nd amendment, as written, isn’t insane. It’s about having a militia. But, as interpreted, it’s absolutely ridiculous. Guns, at a minimum, should be treated like cars. As a potentially deadly tool that nobody has a right to have, but that people can be licensed to use presuming they pass tests.

Speak for yourself, I haven’t paid for anything Disney for years because of the way they’ve been abusing copyrights for decades.

affect.

You affect things. Things have an effect.

It’s a game with procedurally generated content, so it has infinite content. It’s also a great multiplayer co-op game, where you need to work together with friends to accomplish things.

They also know that a lot of really old people have no idea what’s on their cable bill and just pay when it arrives, even if they never watch Fox News.

It used to be that advertiser boycotts sometimes worked. They even worked on Fox News in the past. In 2009 all it took for a boycott against Glenn Beck was for him to say that Obama was racist. That resulted in a huge advertiser boycott, which then resulted in them cancelling his show. In 2017 advertisers pulled out of Bill O’Reilly’s show, but it wasn’t his hateful views that resulted in the boycott, it was the sexual misconduct allegations. Tucker Carlson’s show was cancelled eventually too, there were some advertiser boycotts, but it really seemed like what hurt Fox was that they lost a defamation case that he caused and it cost them nearly $1 billion.

OTOH, often boycotts don’t work. The boycott against Laura Ingraham didn’t seem to work. Her show is still on the air. She was forced to apologize though. Jeanine Pirro was lightly punished with her attacks on Ilhan Omar, but her show was never cancelled. It stayed on the air until she became (and it’s hard to believe this is real) the US Attorney for DC.

It seems like sometimes a loss of money works. But, it seems to work better if it’s a defamation suit vs. an advertiser boycott. Still, an ad boycott might help.

Here are some lists of who advertises on Fox News:

It could be that the shooter was aiming at someone else entirely, but the bullet just got trapped by the gravitational field of Charlie Kirk’s head. Not only was it huge, but it was incredibly dense.

I hope the second part of this tweet is: “because there were so many different reasons to hate him.”

Charlie Kirk was the “Prove Me Wrong” fascist with a big fat head. The “Change My Mind” guy is a different white, male fascist with a big fat head.

I’d be ok with “We should try to change society so that this kind of violence doesn’t happen”. But, the US is and has always been about political violence. There’s nothing new here.

At a school that just this year opened up the campus to guns thanks to a new law passed by the Utah state legislature.

That’s the other conservative blowhard with a big head, Crowder. Charlie Kirk was the one who (as he was shot) was sitting under a banner that said “Prove Me Wrong”.

Odd place for a Babylon 5 reference, especially a Vorlon.
