You're considering it from a partisan viewpoint. Future administrations would do better to add more robust protections against this form of political intervention. The DOJ should be independent, and welcome to investigate or charge any politicians they can make a case for, past or present, regardless of which colors are hanging in the ~~halls of the great leader~~ Trump Ballroom.

Nobody is seriously saying we should never prosecute a political opponent. They're saying that political opponents shouldn't be charged by partisan actors.

And do what, exactly? Provide the exact excuse the federal government is posturing for, allowing them to justify the actions that our various local/state governments are fighting to show aren't real? Should we start an insurrection, so that Trump can start gunning down citizens with impunity and incite even more dramatic acts of violence from his base?

Truly, what do you think Portlanders, as individuals or small groups, could be doing that would meaningfully prevent the administration from enacting their agenda? Portland isn't on fire. Trump says it is. Should they burn it down to prove him wrong?

I don't think they meant geographic size. In terms of population they're around 9th, in terms of GDP more like 25th. They're not Malta obviously, but they don't really stack up against the big traditionally heavyweight countries by most metrics.

I mean... Yeah, no shit. It's not therapy, and your chatbot shouldn't be pretending to offer professional services that require a license, Sam.

Let's be truthful. You don't want to have to explain or justify anything that your chatbot says, and you don't want the Courts to be able to analyze whether you've violated any rights or laws either.

None. All 4 Democrats on the committee voted in favor. It wasn't a floor vote, it was an amendment to a crypto bill in committee.

Meanwhile, health officials said seven children were killed after an Israeli air strike targeted a water distribution site in central Gaza. The Israeli military has claimed that the strike was a result of a "technical malfunction" that had caused the missile to fall "dozens of metres from the target".

So in other words, they weren't trying to hit children with the missile, they were instead trying to hit the water source, which would've killed those children as well as many more people. That's much better.

His main priority is establishing that the US elections are a sham being manipulated by the Left, so that his administration can step in and take appropriate measures to ensure the security of future elections as things go forward towards the midterms.

Well... as the article pretty explicitly mentions, they would normally have staged resources at a nearer location so that their response could be more rapid, but Noem's new rules hampered them by being overly burdensome. And Texan crews were already operating.

This doesn't invalidate your point, but DF is still under active development. The game has been worked on consistently since the early aughts.

Hey! Be reasonable. We're the leaders in lots of things! Obesity, maternal mortality relative to our medical technology, incarceration rates, destitution from medical expenses, incompetent and corrupt rapist executives... All sorts of things!

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

It's not though, it's a very direct exposure to other viewpoints. Those who can't reflect on the consequences weren't going to be convinced by you talking at them in any case.

Pretty sure it's Make America Horrible Again
