You don’t seem to understand what plausible deniability is. This is the from second paragraph:
Roughly 700 active-duty Marines were deployed into Los Angeles on Monday, June 9th, 2025, under orders from President Trump, following days of unrest triggered by federal immigration raids.
Sending troops because there are “commies among us” is not the same thing.
You think deploying troops because you don’t like someone’s political beliefs is the same thing, do you?
Trying to deploy the U.S. military “on our own shores” against lawful speech and activity is blatantly illegal.
The U.S. Posse Comitatus Act:
“Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus (a group of people who are mobilized by the sheriff to suppress lawlessness in the county) or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
You’d expect a sitting congressman to know the law (or at least research it) before spouting this kind of BS. But who am I kidding? Johnson is a Republican who is not subject to the Constitution or the laws that the rest of us must follow.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” - Frank Wilhoit
I have a Pixel 10 and it is by far the most bug-ridden phone I’ve ever had. I thought Oneplus was bad…
It’s no wonder that most Google employees use Iphones.
external SSDs are reasonably cheap.
They’re still not out of reach for most people, but the prices are crazy now. A Crucial 1TB that was $70 last August is more than double that now. That said, most people’s data is worth far more than that.
Microsoft logs and transmits everything you type to the company by default. Imagine trusting a company to keep your passwords safe when they can’t handle basic business functions like restoring a hacked account?
Sound like such a great place to work. Remember this?:
Not surprisingly the GOP has a trifecta in every one of these states - Republican governor and control of both the house and senate. The AG in each of these states is Republican too.
It’s clear that Republicans are especially good at one thing - Making their states the worst places to live in the U.S.
Hopefully at some point American voters will figure out that Republicans do not represent them, they only represent the wealthy. They create lousy conditions for the rest of us when they are put in charge.
If our media companies weren’t so absurdly right wing they would point that out in articles like this one.
The 'Murica brain, like yours, just can’t comprehend that the vast majority of the world isn’t the US.
Your comment says way more about you than you comprehend and your assumptions about all Americans are laughable. Having a bad day, are we? Maybe you should call your mum.
You should fly yourself and your asshole attitude back to Reddit, find the rest of your miserable flock and claim victory, that is if they don’t ignore your sorry ass there too.
Can’t void a red card either, but here we are.
Cities should be just as afraid of deploying Flock cameras.
That idiot probably didn’t bat an eye when seven GOP reps visited Russian on July 4th in 2018.
A while back Amazon started requiring logins to view or search product reviews. (They show a very limited number without login.)
Anyone who’s ever looked through Amazon reviews knows a huge number of them (and sometime the majority) are bullshit, but apparently that’s just fine with Amazon. They were able to completely shut down sites like fakespot.com with that one move so buyers are now on their own.

The school took 66,000 pictures of students in their bedrooms. School administrators should be listed as sex offenders but that doesn’t happen in the U.S. Case in point - our child rapist in chief.
An example of what people in positions of authority think is perfectly acceptable:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbins_v._Lower_Merion_School_District
School authorities surreptitiously and remotely activated webcams embedded in school-issued laptops the students were using at home. After the suit was brought, the school district, of which the two high schools are part, revealed that it had secretly taken more than 66,000 images.
A lawsuit wasn’t enough, the administrators should be branded as sex offenders and the parents should have taken them out behind the school and beat the crap out of them.
In a word: Republicans.
You replied to my comment with this. Are you referring to me? If so you’re mistaken.
And yet your every comment is absolutely brimming with snark and condescension. I prefer adult engagement too and that means not wasting any more time on you.
