and US citizens trying to protect the vulnerable

What? When did this happen, what are you talking about?

Doing fucked up things to random foreigners is part of being in the US military, it's part of what makes people bitter and disillusioned about it sometimes. Going to war against Portland is a whole different thing.

Guess the national guard wanted in on some action more than they wanted to remember their oath.

A lot of them have been refusing to get involved in any capacity, that's why it has been so difficult for Trump to find some where he can even get them to go to some random city and pick up trash. Pretending that they are villains in this before any of them actually do anything wrong is not really going to lead anywhere good, either.

Good point, I just updated the link

Nothing on its own accomplishes anything, but stacked up, they can. It's like one day of clean living won't turn your life around, but in the long run, you can make big change. Changing someone's mind is the same way.

Watched the timestamped video and it’s Kaya getting up to stretch them lying back down.

He literally cuts to total silence mid sentence and whips around to glare at her until she gets back on the platform, and then grunts to himself and has to regather his train of thought to keep talking about politics again.

Y'all are fucked. You are precisely the type of people in some small town church who refuse to believe repeated accusations of sexual abuse because "Oh he would never do something like that, you need to shut your mouth. That's Bill you're talking about. I never want to hear this trash again." Precisely. I'm honestly getting irritated about it.

The whole rest of your message has literally nothing to do with anything. I really don't care where the clips come from. Watch the clips. If you don't see anything fucked up about them, I don't know what to tell you and I hope no one in your area is getting abused by someone you think is "good people" and you have the chance to strategically overlook it because you don't want your view of that person to get complicated.

You guys could give MAGA a run for their money lmao

"Kaya! Please!" as if she's doing something wrong, when literally all she was doing was gingerly stepping off her platform. And he says "Go ba--" and then corrects himself to "Stop!" (stop what?) And then, of course after she suddenly yelps for some totally coincidental reason, I guess, she puts her tail down, bows her head, and avoids eye contact. And y'all are all out there like "It doesn't look like anything to me."'

Edit: I didn't even do this on purpose, this was just where my YouTube video was paused, right after she tried to get off the platform and Hasan did his record scratch and whipped around, and she slowly turned around and got back on the platform:

"AS aN eXpERt oN doG BoDy laNGuaGe, I CaN sAY..."

Did you watch my YouTube video with the mean mugging?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago (8 children)

Yes. The point is that there's a box that's on the collar. There are no collars that come with big boxes with lights attached to them, that are not shock collars.

I mean you can either see this stuff, or you can't. Obviously you can't. Watch the YouTube video in my edit, and if after you reach the point where Hasan makes a little self-satisfied grunt after she climbs sadly back onto her designated platform after he mean-mugs her, you want to still tell me he is a non abusive dog owner, then sure, you're welcome to your mistaken opinion about it I guess.

Edit: You can also see a green light on the back of it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbzsW86X4qA&t=9286s a couple seconds after the start of the video. Also, keep watching. Dude is a fucking psychopath. It's weird to me that people can watch these clips and not see it.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Seriously. I have some politics that are more-or-less similar to some of his politics, so I was sort of predisposed to like him, but almost every video I have seen of him makes him look like such a massive childish cunt that I can't understand why he has a following. Just hearing his voice whenever he gets challenged or corrected on something is like hearing an angle grinder.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago (16 children)

I’m guessing he did or you or the video would mention it

Why would you assume that? I have no idea. I would be fine trying to dig up the rest of the clip to see context, although I don't know if I would succeed. Given his reaction I would be pretty surprised if he fixed it.

This video doesn’t show anything like what you’ve described. All I could tell was that the dog yapped at one point and… that’s it…

You can literally see the shock collar box on her at 0:13 when she turns away to go back to the platform. He also claims that she "clipped herself", when he wasn't looking at her and would have no idea why she suddenly gave a big sharp yelp right at the same moment when he reached for something off screen.

If he was telling the truth, he would say "I have no idea why she made that noise, she's a big baby" or something. That is literally the only explanation that he would have that even could be truthful. The fact that he even has an explanation for what happened that made her yelp means he is lying.

People on Reddit have also slowed down and brightened the footage, and it's very clear that she didn't bump herself or anything on any object, that just suddenly out of nowhere she made this sudden yelping noise and also changed her mind about wanting to get off the little platform and go walk around.

You can draw your own conclusions of course but I am not sure why people could see this and come to any other conclusion.

I once saw a bodycam video where they went to a house where the home wifi had been used for sexual contact with a minor, and they asked the dad which of his sons might have done it, and without even hesitating he told them which son.

Like God damn dude. How big of a creep do you have to be to where your own father doesn't even have to take a second to come to grips with the question first...

 

US President Donald Trump has reposted a message from another Truth Social user that claimed Ukraine must be prepared to cede part of its territory to Russia, otherwise it will lose even more later.

Holy crap this is a good game.

I'm not usually fan of either these "choose your own adventure" type graphic novel games or of horror games, but holy shit. Fair warning, it is a horror game with lots of horror, but in my opinion you should check this thing out.

 

NBC News, citing a White House official familiar with the matter, has reported that advisers will also be present at the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Source: NBC News, as reported by European Pravda

Details: A White House representative told NBC News that at today’s meeting with Putin and his advisers, Trump will be accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff.

The official stated that this will replace what was initially described as a bilateral meeting between Trump and Putin. Translators are also expected to attend.

The bilateral working lunch will be attended by Rubio, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Witkoff.

Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, is not part of the delegation.

Background:

Putin’s plane has landed at a military base in Anchorage, Alaska. US media report that Trump has also already arrived at the meeting venue.On board the presidential aircraft, he spoke to the media and said in particular that he would not discuss territorial issues "on behalf of Ukraine" and that he allows for the possibility of offering certain guarantees to Ukraine together with Europe, but not within NATO.During the flight, Trump also held his first conversation with self-proclaimed Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko.

In many agricultural fields of the West Coast of the United States, you’re more likely to hear Mixtec or Triqui languages spoken than Spanish. Both are common among the Indigenous people of southern Mexico, some of whom now pick grapes for Napa and Sonoma County’s prestige wineries, or apples in century-old orchards. Without their labor, rural economies in California would collapse.

 

A new air-to-air air defence system is being developed to protect Ukraine's skies and defend large areas. The project is being developed by the MaXon team, a member of the Brave1 defence tech cluster.

Source: Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation

Quote: "+1 solution for sky protection – a Brave1 member is developing an air-to-air air defence system. Defending the sky against enemy drones is one of the priorities of Ukraine's defence sector."

Details: Fedorov did not reveal the technical specifications of the new development but explained that it features a system with its own guidance mechanism and high-speed interceptors.

The timeline for deployment has not been disclosed, but Fedorov stated that the system is already undergoing combat testing in Kyiv and Chernihiv oblasts.

He added that, with support from Brave1, the MaXon team successfully completed its first investment round, in particular attracting funding from Freedom Fund and Defender Ventures. They are now raising funds for the next round to speed up R&D and scale the new system.

According to Fedorov, MaXon’s technology integrates solutions from other Brave1 participants.

Background: Previously, the Wild Hornets team had upgraded their drone interceptor, Sting, to reach a speed of 315 km/h.
