I feel like the middle of an active fascist coup that is rounding up dissidents into concentration camps is not the time to start restricting citizen's right to bear effective arms. He better be careful, because Republicans might just vote for it for the wrong reasons.

Turnip too busy negotiating with terrorists to worry about human rights

The point is dehumanization. That's why all they ever talk about are "Illegal aliens" rather than undocumented immigrants. It reduces them from people to unwanted objects that can be marginalized in the population's public mind. Which, incidentally, is exactly what Nazi Germany did.......

Won't matter, they'll just have the FCC revoke the broadcast licenses after a while.

Might be 6'3 if he was stretched out on one of those Medieval torture racks.

They say "checks" but it is realistically going to mean any transaction over $200

You can just check the modlog of your local instance and search for your own username. Most of the time the ban action will federate (but again, sometimes not, never really sure why). If nothing shows up locally check the modlog of the remote instance you're trying to post to.

The other chance that you got no comments on your post for is that you are banned from the remote instance/community, or federation is broken (still happens intermittently).

Lemmy will still allow you to post from your home instance since you are not banned there, but your content will simply get black-holed by the remote instance if you're banned there. Sometimes you have to check the remote instance directly to see if your post was federated or not.

We'll see if that 1t defense budget even lasts a year. With how the bond market is reacting to trumps instability, the US' ability to borrow itself into a hole may be very quickly coming to an end.

I don't have consumer confidence because I don't know if the industry my company works in is even going to exist in a year.

Yippee, constitutional crisis #1!

Weirdly convenient that these people only ever get caught the second they become mentally unfit for trial.
