Nothing says peace prize like one taken from a person for invading their country.

You know they (the Whitehouse goons) say that the Capitol Police officer that killed ashli babbitt “never faced charges”, this pardon language is so broad that he never could even if he did do something wrong (which he did not).

Trump’s proclamation commuted the sentences of 14 individuals and also granted “a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” This immediately covered roughly 1,500 people, including hundreds of defendants who were charged with assaulting or resisting law enforcement officers.

With this language, the guy retroactively created a federal anarchy zone for a period of time in Washington DC.

Ashli Babbit was a fucking terrorist and a rube.

Agree, but also I read a bit of her backstory (https://pluralistic.net/2025/07/22/all-day-suckers/) and it was full of things that happened due to regulatory / governmental policy failures and in a way was actually pretty tragic, just more in the “fell victim to multiple scams of various types” way rather than the “dedicated patriot who lost her life standing up for what is right” kind of way.

Even DNA tests can be junk if used incorrectly.

Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

We should petition the government to change our national anthem to Julius Fučík’s “Entry of the Gladiators” .

As a bonus, there aren’t even any tricky lyrics to memorize.

Yeah I question it especially because they tend to state shit like this sans evidence, and people just believe them because they are the “small government, fiscal responsibility” themed party.

You’re actually right though that lives saved would be part of the economic calculation if they were doing it, which they are not.

The amount of lives saved isn’t what I was interested in. I was interested in the purportedly added cost. US car safety regulations are toothless compared to the EU. That’s partially why our roads are filled with monster truck sized pedestrian flatteners.

Safety is basically self-certified in the US. What evidence is there that the extra cost is related to safety?

I understand that Republicans are often prohibited by their own belief systems to look at the profit margins of the things they pretend to want to make affordable, but in the US that’s exactly where a lot of the problem lies.

Outside of some very, very expensive areas (where you aren’t required to live) six figures is still very adequate to live, especially if it’s got a little distance from 100k exactly.

This is what I’m thinking about daily. What change did you make?

But I thought Repubs liked Russia now.

Why is the r backwards?

If a robotic taxi can lower the taxi category of accidents by 91% across the board, including death rates, then that’s a positive improvement to society any way you slice it.

The “if” in this sentence is a load bearing word.

With today’s crew running the policy, I don’t think anyone will prevent corporations from unleashing completely unsafe robotic taxis on the public that’ll perform well worse than regular ones. I really wish people would stop making this argument to the corporation’s benefit until we have some data backing it up.

I get that there’s a theoretical possibility that still imperfect robotic taxis could outperform humans, but that’s just theoretical.

With the way corporate accountability is handled (i.e., corporations aren’t held accountable) nowadays, I just don’t see robotic taxis as much more than an accountability sink and at this point I’d prefer taking regular taxis because at least there is someone to fucking hold accountable when things go wrong.

Of course you are buddy, you’re twelve.

Donald the wannabe king posts video in which he shares with the world that his incontinence is so bad and his diarrheas so plentiful that he could cover 2% of America’s total population with the contents of a single one of his manbaby diapers.

Sounds great, like these kids nowadays know the key to a healthy masturbation routine
