It’s all religious Zealots behind the scenes in politics. They all think the issue is protecting cites mentioned in the bible. They think that’s the basis for Western Civilization rather than the French and American revolutions and the Dutch or Westminster system of law.

Why haven’t most Western nations had atheist leaders? Why don’t they ALWAYS have atheist leaders?

This preference for superstition over rationality holds us back as a species.

Yes, the donation has since been confirmed.

I think you’re misreading me.

I’m saying the Republican party registration has those things, but the donation doesn’t, so could be from someone with the same first and last name from anywhere.

So the Republican party registration is this more corroborated by having the extra information. Whereas the donation isn’t, due to not having that extra information with it.

Where as the Republican party registration has other corroborating information listed, the donation doesn’t have anything other than the same first and last name. So it’s not confirmed to be the same guy yet.

Fuck the media, fuck their delusional lying ways:

“Project 2025 is just reinstating something we had before.”

If these guys gave a shit they’d focus on light based chips, which are in very early stages, but will save a lot of power.

Yes, it was incredibly short sighted of the neoliberal “free market” Capitalist agenda to conduct their “race to the bottom” by sending vital manufacturing overseas.

That combined with privatisation and globalisation (and lots of unchecked corporate espionage done by China) has given away sold every single technological advantage the western world had been developing since the Industrial Revolution.

It’s from a bit he does about solar powered planes, but everything is old and tired now, so he’s just skipping parts like a broken record, or mentally degenerating flesh monster finally in its dying stages.

So in your opinion, did they just reaffirm something like the presumption of innocence but it’s tailored for someone who’s job it is to sometimes order the deaths of people? So he has “The presumption of immunity” when making otherwise illegal orders, until it’s otherwise determined by a court case, or impeachment hearing? Is that what’s going on?

That’s the plan right, that’s part of Project 2025, to instantiate Unitary Executive Theory to make everything they do legal regardless of courts and impeachment trials.

Biden should just pass an official law that SCOTUS must be evenly split between major parties.

This couldn’t be illegal to do anymore, as Biden will be immune, as it’ll be an official act.

This is definitely a better memory than remembering James Woods was in this scene.

So you’re arguing that misinformation is fair if a campaign has done anything that can be remotely described as damaging (and you refuse to say what they did that was so damaging).

How could Russia harm them by leaking details of things that are not illegal and therefore (purportedly) entirely acceptable?

By including disinformation? It’s a pretty basic concepts, by lying.

From the Guccifer 2.0 Wikipedia page:

Some of the documents “Guccifer 2.0” released to the media appear to be forgeries cobbled together from public information and previous hacks, which had been mixed with disinformation.[9][10][11]

I’m not sure why so many people are reacting like this to my comments. The Republican Senate Committee was able to accept there was a Russian disinfo campaign, not sure why Lemmy thinks that’s all fine and dandy.

What DNC corruption exactly are you referring to?

The corruption of the electronic was done by Russia and the RNC accepting and not reporting foreign election interference. As per:

Could you show what specifically was fake?

I’m not an intelligence agent, so no, I can’t tell you what was and wasn’t faked. You would have to look into the various reports and intelligence findings yourself for that info.
