FarFarAway , to Texas in Ken Paxton plans to file criminal complaints against lawmakers who impeached him

Should have impeached this pos when u had the chance. Dumbasses.

I know this is all for show. They think all the theatrics is somehow riveting the population into ignoring the 14 bills that are to be voted on this election.

1 of them is obviously worth it. Some of the rest sound nice, but probably hide some shady doings. With this crap going on, it’s hard to take the summaries for granted.

Whats exactly is going to be the point where they actually take him into custody despite legally qualifying many times over?

It’s never going to happen.

I wish it would, but it isn’t. No one in this country with the power to imprison an ex-president actually wants to do it.

moobythegoldensock , to Politics in Alabama GOP refuses to draw second Black district, despite Supreme Court order

The court can decide to hire an outside expert to redraw the maps if it agrees that the map is another racial gerrymander.

Yes, please. This should be automatic for any overly gerrymandered map. If the kids can’t figure their shit out, it’s time for the grownups to step in.

VerdantSporeSeasoning ,

Maybe we could just… Not let Alabama participate in elections it won’t prepare for?

Ugh, it’s a bad idea, we don’t need to disenfranchise people for the states’ mistake. But ugh, would I like to have Alabama’s version of “present” not count towards the next bimbo peddling hamberders.

keeb420 , to Politics in A collision course over government funding raises fears of a shutdown

im so tired of this shit. call their bluff then. im so tired of them pulling this shit. im tired of their voter rewarding this shit. im tiring of having to worry about this shit. theres no problem. but no republicans cry about the deficit after cutting taxes and the solution is to cut benefits. no fuck you. raise taxes if the government isnt bringing enough in, and start on those you last cut taxes on. im tired of hearing about rolling back benefits and labor protections, especially recently where theyve been rolling back child labor protections. like fuck that shit were not some developing country where child labor is still a thing. weve dealt with that a century ago. but its back thanks to asshole republicans.

Shut it down then. Take away their weapon. The GOP already caught one car, let's see them catch another one.

The military already knows which party fucks with their paychecks and hinders their readiness. As Alabama has recently found out thanks to the PoS fascist Tommy Tuberville, the military will shutter bases or skip over those states for new programs.

FAFO, GOP.

Womble , to Work Reform in Construction workers are dying from suicide at an alarming rate, with an estimated 6,000 construction workers dying as a result of suicide in 2022

The focus on construction is a distraction, the point here is that men of lower socio-economic status in the US are killing themselves at a horrific rate. From the actual paper this article is based on:

The overall suicide rates by sex in the civilian noninstitutionalized working population were 32.0 per 100,000 among males and 8.0 per 100,000 among females.

Major industry groups with the highest suicide rates included Mining (males = 72.0); Construction (males = 56.0; females = 10.4); Other Services (e.g., automotive repair; males = 50.6; females = 10.4); Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation (males = 47.9; females = 15.0); and Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting (males = 47.9).

Major occupation groups with the highest suicide rates included Construction and Extraction (males = 65.6; females = 25.3); Farming, Fishing, and Forestry (e.g., agricultural workers; males = 49.9); Personal Care and Service (males = 47.1; females = 15.9); Installation, Maintenance, and Repair (males = 46.0; females = 26.6); and Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports, and Media (males = 44.5; females = 14.1).

Confirming what we already knew: she's a POS who will do anything in a weak attempt to be relevant.

Paradoxvoid , to Politics in Young voters explain why they’re bailing on Biden, and whether they’d come back
@Paradoxvoid@aussie.zone avatar

Ultimately this won’t change unless young Democrats actually take over the party and shift the overton window back to the left.

This generally, and specifically electoral reform is the only way to get the USA out of its two-party hellhole.

That was tried in 2016. The DNC’s got too much of a stranglehold-- they’ll just keep putting up malfeasant, genocidal capitalists. There is no alliance in the Democrat party, young or no. Just like the cops, I believe the Democrats are only good for abolition-- not reform.

Good luck getting any reform done within America’s FPTP by going 3rd-party.

Politics is a battle of inches, and you need to walk before you can run, or else 3rd-parties are doomed to irrelevance forever.

satanicllamaplaza ,

How many inches have the dems walked backwards? Yeah I’ll vote for moving forward. You do you boo.

Rocketpoweredgorilla , to Politics in Speaker Mike Johnson says he's blurring Jan. 6 footage so rioters don't get charged
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

"We don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ,” the House speaker said. His office later noted that DOJ already has the raw footage.

So he’s blurring faces the DOJ already have and simply claiming he’s doing it to protect them… the dishonesty runs deep in this “christian.”

Moderates don’t want the shit job, when there’s a daycare pen full of toddlers ready to cry and whine about making compromises, in fucking Congress of all places.

Freedom caucus fuckheads won’t get enough votes from moderates.

I can’t wait until they accidentally vote in Jeffries.

yata ,

There are no moderate Republicans any longer. Those days are long gone.

In relative terms, the ones who didn’t try to overthrow the republic on J6 are the moderates…

specseaweed , to Texas in [NBC News] Impeached Texas AG Ken Paxton seeks to have most charges dismissed before September trial

Paxton’s career will be lost to history because of the gravity of the moments around him being heavier, but he is truly a special kind of monster. May he reap every single ounce of what he sowed.

admiralteal , to Politics in News: 'Do not release the dog with his hands up!': Black man mauled by police canine following Ohio pursuit

It's not clear if the officer responsible for directing the dog to attack Rose is facing any disciplinary action.

Of course not, any disciplinary action will wait until the department's PR department has established whether or not there is a significant media backlash. Bad publicity (potentially spurring ethical reform) is the only reason a cop ever gets disciplined, after all.

Idrunkenlysignedup ,

Even if the officer gets fired there’s nothing stopping him from applying for and getting a job in a different precinct.
