By i can get you a toe Go To PostIsn't Thomas the one that routinely showed and brought up porn (including bestiality) around his staff. Dude even left a pube on a coke can and sexually harassed the hell out of Anita Hill. Fucker has a lot of nerve declaring anything obscene really. His whole being and presence on the court is fucking obscene.

The MSM doesn't want you to know this.

Oh and that's not even getting into our sitting president about it all either who basically maligned Anita Hill (and didn't call other women/witnesses too) while he was a Senator for her own testimony about how fucked up Clarence Thomas is/was.

You can thank one Joe Biden for Thomas as well tbh. He was against it but his role in the hearings was disgusting.

Yeah brehs it’s hard out here

The international student situation is mad. Who are these charlatans telling people it’s easy to live here

A former Syracuse basketball player was arrested on two felony charges at a Miami airport Monday. He is accused of working as rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs' alleged “drug mule.”

Brendan Paul, as he is listed on Syracuse's roster, was a walk-on guard for the program from 2018-'20.

Never trust Syracuse guards

At least six are presumed dead, authorities say
The six construction workers who fell to their death when Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed were all Latino immigrants ranging from ages 26 to 49. They were described as hard-working, humble men, dedicated to their spouses, children and families in their homelands. Foreign embassies have confirmed the men to be from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Mexico.

Divers found two of the men trapped inside of a red pickup truck in 25 feet of water Wednesday evening, Maryland State Police Superintendent Col. Ronald L. Butler Jr. said at a somber press conference. They were identified as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, and from Veracruz in Mexico, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, who is from San Luis in Guatemala.

The local Sinclair news station (Fox 45) seems to really be struggling between showing compassion for the confirmed victims and their required need to blame immigrants for everything wrong with the world and Joe Biden.

The two confirmed deaths lived, worked and paid taxes in Maryland for no less than ten years each.

Shame.

Massive missed opportunity to give him the electric chair

Gee I wonder who they'll appoint!!

No doubt this article will quell reilo's rage at Boeing's executives that should be in jail....

https://prospect.org/infrastructure/transportation/2024-03-28-suicide-mission-boeing/

“John is very knowledgeable almost to a fault, as it gets in the way at times when issues arise,” the boss wrote in one of his withering performance reviews, downgrading Barnett’s rating from a 40 all the way to a 15 in an assessment that cast the 26-year quality manager, who was known as “Swampy” for his easy Louisiana drawl, as an anal-retentive prick whose pedantry was antagonizing his colleagues. The truth, by contrast, was self-evident to anyone who spent five minutes in his presence: John Barnett, who raced cars in his spare time and seemed “high on life” according to one former colleague, was a “great, fun boss that loved Boeing and was willing to share his knowledge with everyone,” as one of his former quality technicians would later recall.

But Swampy was mired in an institution that was in a perpetual state of unlearning all the lessons it had absorbed over a 90-year ascent to the pinnacle of global manufacturing. Like most neoliberal institutions, Boeing had come under the spell of a seductive new theory of “knowledge” that essentially reduced the whole concept to a combination of intellectual property, trade secrets, and data, discarding “thought” and “understanding” and “complex reasoning” possessed by a skilled and experienced workforce as essentially not worth the increased health care costs. CEO Jim McNerney, who joined Boeing in 2005, had last helmed 3M, where management as he saw it had “overvalued experience and undervalued leadership” before he purged the veterans into early retirement.

“Prince Jim”—as some long-timers used to call him—repeatedly invoked a slur for longtime engineers and skilled machinists in the obligatory vanity “leadership” book he co-wrote. Those who cared too much about the integrity of the planes and not enough about the stock price were “phenomenally talented assholes,” and he encouraged his deputies to ostracize them into leaving the company. He initially refused to let nearly any of these talented assholes work on the 787 Dreamliner, instead outsourcing the vast majority of the development and engineering design of the brand-new, revolutionary wide-body jet to suppliers, many of which lacked engineering departments. The plan would save money while busting unions, a win-win, he promised investors. Instead, McNerney’s plan burned some $50 billion in excess of its budget and went three and a half years behind schedule.

win-win baby! Gets rid of those talented assholes while they're at it!

There's that leadership everyone has been undervaluing.

so much *sniiiiiiifs* value *sniiiiiffffs* and *snorts* leader *coughs* ship

Hey let’s go non union and save money what could go wrong

And let's get rid of all those dudes who know what they're doing telling others that they're doing it wrong because they are we can't have that!!!

https://www.climatechangenews.com/2023/08/01/amazon-rainforest-carbon-offsets-credits-guyana/

In a deal set up with the Norwegian government, Guyana received four payments totalling nearly $200 million for ‘avoided deforestation’. Recently, Guyana sold 33.5 million carbon credits for reducing forest loss during 2016 and 2020, this time under an ART-TREEs crediting scheme.

So when he says "you don't pay us for" is just talking about the UK or is a royal "you"?

edit: yes, probably just speaking about the UK.

Reminds me of all those Republican congresspeople who vetoed against the infrastructure bill and then tried to act like they were supporters of the bill the whole time.

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/trump-2028/

Trump is terrible but the main point is fine. I don’t really see the point of the president having a term limit if no one else in Congress does.

The president and congress should have term limits. Quasi monarchy and house of lords sucks.

I think term limits make most sense in an institution like the Supreme Court that has 0 accountability. Otherwise I’m generally against them.

I think age limits is more important

We have two dinosaurs fighting to be president meanwhile Bricks posted a clip of Guyana’s president who is probably younger than everyone on slaent

Are term limits just a way to protect against dreadful presidents because the terms are so long and set in stone, and the way that it's basically impossible for a president to be ousted by somebody in their own party, reinforced by the two-party system? Kinda think that you should be able to keep the job for as long as you're the best option in the eyes of the nation.

Yes. Plus, a defacto POTUS until their death makes them no different than a monarch / authoritarian.

Term limits are good. Need them in the Senate and House.

I imagine it's removal would come with a shitload of legislation that makes it possible to get rid of a president rather than necessarily allowing them to become that immovable?


Wonder if we're looking at tweaking the election protocols in the UK. While it took far longer than it should have, people lost faith in the Tories fucking ages ago and they can still drag this clown show out for another 9 months. Still a bit worried that they'll get an easy win between now and then that turns the momentum around, even if it was just for the election period.

Tough balancing act between parties going in and out of power on the whims of whatever the big issues of the day are, and governments holding on for far too long. When you suspect that they've given up on winning an election and are instead merely trying to make as much money as they can, and making things as tough to fix as they can for the next government, something has gone wrong.

when you consolidate power by leveraging a position for ages, you become the best option because no one else has a real say lol

Maybe I'm underestimating the difference between Presidents and Prime Ministers. We've had five of the cunts since any other party has had a look-in.

A Prime Minister is the equivalent of a House or Senate leader role. Look at the GOP right now trying to oust their House Leader and pick a third person in 12 months.

To say nothing of rotating people in who are/have been living a more standard quality of life for Americans is important for perspective as well. The further they get from that the more myopic they get. Nobody at with the religious crazies though who have dubious GEDs okay, we obviously still need some standards but that's a different discussion.
