Trump’s plan for ending the genocide is to let Netanyahu complete it.

I wondered why Samsung, a company that literally produces military weapons, wasn’t on the list.

Probably because South Korea is a close military ally.

“He blew the whistle on a multibillion dollar company - obviously he knew they’d kill him! Suicide.”

“RFK Jr: an iconoclast set to shake up a complacent public health establishment.”

I’m sure that’s a much more effective than trying to build up US companies to make solar panels.

Or without one. SCOTUS already ruled that Trump just has to say “official act” and there is literally nothing he can be held accountable for.

Sadly, way too many actually do.

“I’ll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one.”

History has many examples of how shipping urban intellectuals off to work on farms rids you of said intellectuals and leads to (checks notes) mass starvation. Since that’s the worst possible outcome, I imagine he’s going to go with that.

Sure.

He’ll be confirmed with no problem. They always give Trump whatever he wants.

I think she should do it to fuck with Trump since all his 47 branded merch would then be worthless.

Yup. We know he’s a rapist, a racist, and a criminal, and that didn’t lose him any support. What exactly could there be that would turn off his supporters? At this point I really don’t think anything would do it. They’d just say “well, on him it looks good!”

We know exactly how they’d act, since they eliminated the filibuster for judicial nominees so they could pack the court. Holding ourselves to some standard they will immediately violate when they can get any advantage is stupid.

The entire point of our existing system is to guarantee the perpetual presence of a large population of hard workers with absolutely no legal rights in the labor pool.

If any complaint means you and your family might be immediately deported, you’re not going to ask for a raise (or most government services), and you sure as hell aren’t going to try to form a union. Employers haven’t figured out how to put all workers on that position yet, but it’s not for lack of trying. They get the benefit of a side effect that legal workers are always afraid their job will be outsourced to immigrants, so they too are leery of asserting their rights.

Whipping up anti immigrant sentiment actually helps perpetuate this system, since it lets you put all the heat on the workers and ignore the role of the employers. And just “getting tough on immigrants” (aka giving government more freedom to gratuitously abuse brown people) will never happen, because it would destroy entire industries, as we find out every time some southern state passes, then almost immediately repeals, this type of law.

Actually penalizing employers would require the labor markets to change in ways the Republicans would hate (fair compensation and rights for workers is anathema to them), and the Democrats don’t seem to care enough about to fight for. Probably because of their longterm shift towards dependence on corporate donors. Honestly, unions should be at the forefront of trying to fix this, but they are not very strong these days, and blaming immigrants is always easier than finding good solutions.

TL;DR Working as intended.

Stone ground white corn. Very popular in the southern US. Similar to polenta (which is made from yellow corn) but you can prepare it in lots of different ways.

No worries. Still interesting!

A system of checks and money orders. And cash.

I’m pretty sure the demographic that talks about “my bitch ex-wife” is mostly in the tank for Trump already.

On the off chance you aren’t joking, no, it’s innocent until proven guilty.

Yeah, I think you’re right.
