Harassment and assault claims have definitely been weaponized by bad faith actors, it sucks and makes it all the more fucked for victims. But there's a lot of bullshit too, like people who keep defending Franken not caring about multiple credible women coming forward about gropes. Keep seeing the same "bUt iT wAs JuSt a PiCtuRe" shit everywhere.
i mean they're not even taking the easy lob over cawthrone or going so far as to make it a point to scrutinize swalwell

By Wahabipapangus Go To PostSo how's the Dutch election goingWilders with the PVV will probably end up with more votes... Most of those will luckily come from the other far right party FvD which has imploded recently.
Oh
There is a real possibility the PVV will become the biggest party. VVD could lose votes because of the less than stellar handling of Covid, if other parties would exploit that fact and raise it as an issue during the campaigns. Approval of PM Rutte (VVD) has increased however...
If I were you bacon, I would vote Jezus Leeft! I heard that party believes Jesus is Alive.

Head of the Irish police goes on national TV to say the far left and far right were collaborating on anti-lockdown protests, has to backtrack the next day.
Same guy:
In 2010, then Assistant Chief Constable Drew Harris wrote a letter to the legal representatives of UVF victims telling them that they would not get an investigation into the wider questions raised by the activities of the Glenanne gang. The most significant wider question was the extent of state involvement in the gang and its murderous activities, including the deaths of at least 89 people.
In writing this letter, Drew Harris, who is now Deputy Chief Constable, was subverting a decade of assurance that the UK government had given to the Committee of Minister of the Council of Europe that investigations into state killings would be carried out independently and would examine patterns, links to reveal systematic violations by the state of the right to life enshrined in Article 2 of the European Convention of Human Rights.
[…]
That was when Drew Harris made his move. In 2010, he brought the HET in under his control as head of Crime Operations Branch of the PSNI. He removed investigative functions from HET officers; they could no longer arrest and question suspects. He took control of their budget, and he closed down their thematic investigation unit which was cross referencing the individual investigations for links, patterns and systems drawing out the involvement of RUC personnel and wider collusion.

By Lupercal Go To PostIt still boggles my mind that the Netherlands still haven't instituted a mandatory mask policy.It's been mandatory in public transport for a long while and inside shops. Schools have reopened and you need to wear a mask in the hallways. Basically if you have to go inside a building you better have a mask on you.
By /bacon Go To PostI don't know over the Pirate Party?Ah ok, one of the guys at work who's been stuck WFHing went for a binge weekend to Amsterdam. He wore his mask all the time but he counted maybe 3 masks he saw (including shops)

Masks have been mandatory in indoor public spaces since December first. 95 euro fine if you don't wear a mask. You don't have to wear one outside though.

Mr. Cruz said that he was disappointed by the way that Judge Garland answered questions during his hearing and in his questionnaire and disapproved of the fact that he would not meet in person. Other senators were willing to meet with the judge via video to accommodate pandemic-related considerations including the judge’s age, which puts him into a higher-risk category for Covid-related health risks.Oh Cruz

You see Haley flip flop on her Trump distancing comments? Pence gets 1% for bending the knee to a man who was tweeting about his cowardice as the mob was invading lol. 😂

Tbh Pence should have just gone ahead and invoked the 25th after riots, since he's never gonna end up anywhere close to the presidency again.

You got too many neighborhoods to keep track. Long Island City isn't in Long Island… etc
"Long Island" includes Queens and Brooklyn, since they are both part of the physical island. It wasn't until a few decades ago that "Long Island" implied only Nassau and Suffolk counties. But properly, it does include Queens and Brooklyn (Kings County). Also, Long Island City has a giant "LONG ISLAND" sign at the former East River LIC docks, signifying the start of Long Island.

Most people don’t have health insurance let alone know how their policy works. It’s another failure of Democrats to get the message out about stuff like that. Instead everyone is bitching about minimum wage which I agree needs to happen but not on this bill.

Yea .... all this talk about firing the parlementarian over what’s clearly not a budgetary item is dumb. Most critiques of the bill are narrow and short sighted tho
By inky Go To PostSome guy in a game told me that Elon has done more for America than the last 10 presidents combined after I posted in global chat that the cult of Elon online was getting out of control.I wonder if they feel the same way about Bezos, who has done a lot more than Musk.

By cashman Go To PostWho cares?
I mean it think it adds to the chances the bill fails if it’s in, or we fire someone to make it happen, but also because it’s a distraction. There’s a lot that’s good with the bill. We can try and pass legislation the normal way. It may not be 15, but I feel like it’s one of the better shots at 60 votes
They got a better shot in 2022 if they can pass quality legislation. That bold stuff that everyone knows is not going to pass can wait for now.
By cashman Go To PostWho cares?it should be its own thing. attaching it to this is just asking for excuse making down the road like "we tried and no one wanted it"
rona relief is hard enough to get right as is and the minimum wage push was independent of it to begin with
By Blue Go To PostThey got a better shot in 2022 if they can pass quality legislation. That bold stuff that everyone knows is not going to pass can wait for now.
They need to push minimum wage now. A huge part of winning in 2022 is trying to get results. The GOP tanking a wage increase over some immigration bullshit won’t help them in 2022 if they choose to go that too. Bernie’s second reconciliation bill needs to happen STAT. Tax reform and a build back better jobs bill.
If they can pass it on the second reconciliation bill, great. That bill needs to be Eisenhower big. For example, people need to start seeing EV charging stations at all gas stations alongside the gas pumps and KNOW it was because of that bill passing.

dont the dems have control? cut the fucking check as quick as possible then do minimum wage on the next one, huh????????
By sy Go To Postdont the dems have control? cut the fucking check as quick as possible then do minimum wage on the next one, huh????????I think most of us are in agreement here. Democrats love to block their own shots and have these morality votes to show who voted for or against pie in the sky ideas. As if the Republican base cares if Republicans vote for or against minimum wage. Cut the check and keep it moving. You either pass minimum wage now or you don’t. Any talk of pushing for is a waste of time and disrupts the process.

Yes mane I’ve never said make it part of reconciliation (including the second). But a stand-alone piece of legislation ASAP
Reconciliation votes will tight as is. May even need to sweeten the pot for Mrs Alaska to get her to help with build back better lol
By DY_nasty Go To Postit should be its own thing. attaching it to this is just asking for excuse making down the road like "we tried and no one wanted it"They either want to do it or they don't. It really does not matter to them which bill it's in
rona relief is hard enough to get right as is and the minimum wage push was independent of it to begin with
By cashman Go To PostThey either want to do it or they don't. It really does not matter to them which bill it's init absolutely matters what bill its in
if there's a struggle for votes over a massive bill, like this one, making it more volatile or polarizing by lumping another scale tipping measure to it is likely to devalue both. and after ACA being watered down the way it was, i can't imagine anyone wanting a repeat
if anything, selling a minimum wage bill right before midterms should be the easiest layup of the fuckin decade for the dems...
