So people in Chongqing are the New Yorkers of China?

It’s amazing that the Supreme court is seen as a beacon of democracy because of like half a dozen rulings over the past century that will probably get overturned in the next 4 years.

The reason the flag was at half stalf before the executive order is because Biden chose to lower them because Carter died a week or two ago.

Everyone clowns on AUKUS, but the quad is also an awful name for an allaince, I think they should get more respect for being shit.

Quadrilateral Security Dialogue is the full name which is somehow even worse than just “the quad”.

it’s jumble in the thread, they said if someone sends them a new feed they will host it

Classic lemmy.world liberal behaviour to make a c/keeptrack to keep track of Trump’s presidency, politics truly is team sports to them. Do you think that maybe the last guy could have done some bad things or do bad things only happen when the president has an ® in front of their name.

FLYING THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES AT FULL-STAFF ON INAUGURATION DAY

the fuck Jimmy Carter executive order lol

PSA some new feeds were added to jumble, check the pinned post on c/podcasts for more info

I am very happy he’s not in prison, but also upset he did not recieve the full pardon, more happy than upset, but classic to means test doing something cool, so it’s only something mostly cool.

Kind of amazing they are still clinging to the idea that he did that shit with quite literally no evidence, I’m glad he did something at least, I heard Deb Haaland* spoke to him directly about this throughout his term, so if she couldn’t convince him no one could, I also heard Leonard has diabetes and a few other health problems and wasn’t getting proper medical treatment so I hope he gets that at least, even though he is still not free in home confinement.

Natalie Bara, the president of the FBI Agents Association, which advocates for active and retired agents, said it is “outraged” by Biden’s reprieve for Peltier.

“This last-second, disgraceful act by then-President Biden, which does not change Peltier’s guilt but does release him from prison, is cowardly and lacks accountability,” Bara said in a statement. “It is a cruel betrayal to the families and colleagues of these fallen Agents and is a slap in the face of law enforcement.”

Get fucked Natalie and by association all other feds.

I don’t want to be too much of a pedant, but it is different, it’s not likely any of these people did anything besides Hunter. Unless it comes out these people actually did anything, comparing Hunter to Kushner is a fair comparison, but preemptively pardoning your family because you think they are gonna get persecuted because they are related to you is pretty unprecedented. I don’t really fault sleepy for this, what’s the alternative letting Trump groundlessly put your family in courts and make a media spectacle out of it.

Me; trying; to; use; semicolons; after seeing a user saying one of the biggest problems with Hexbear was users writing sentences with too many commas.

It seems like the makeshift new 196 from blahaj called c/onehundredninetysix has completely won out from the original one that migrated to lemmy.world; there are 10x as many posts on the new blahaj one than the migrated one. Hopefully the behaviour associated with the problematic mod that was behind the migration has migrated with that mod. But cool to see users not being okay with going to an objectively worse instance.

My dad legitimately thinks that TikTok is a national security problem and “it must be really scary if 80% of congress voted to ban it.”

It’s a national security problem in the sense that any closed source app that connects to the internet on a VIP is a national security problem, it just happens to be owned by a country that Amerikkka wants to beef with, there is just as much danger in a closed source US owned app like Facebook getting hacked by a foreign actor and leaking sensitive information, the op-sec of most governments and a lot of businesses are generally horrendous, anyone doing anything important enough to be worth targeting should have nothing that isn’t strictly needed on their phones, you think they would take it more seriously, but they do not.

Got a podcast ad from one of those ones that just puts in whatever and it was about the libs trying to take away your credit card, don’t you as an Amerikkan love paying with your credit card. Can not figure out what it is about, obviously ism, but I don’t even know what it was going for or referencing.
