I wouldn’t take a Lemmy comment as evidence either way.

World News?

What’s the real purpose here? It’s not drugs.

Subservience to the FCC and the administration is the excuse. The real reason is that David Ellison is afraid the dem might win.

The majority owner of CBS is Paramount Global, which itself is controlled by Skydance Media, a company led by David Ellison (son of Larry Ellison), following a significant acquisition of the Redstone family’s stake in mid-2025.

Either that or it’s exactly what it says on the tin. I wonder which is more likely.

Thank you. I was just thinking that someone needs to grab this, and it was going to be a pita if I had to be the one to do it.

(More copies are always welcome.)

And it’s a hell of a brave thing Colbert and crew are doing in speaking out.

They’re patriots at a time when speech isn’t free.

Complicit

More likely the prosecutor just didn’t show any evidence. The prosecutor has so much influence over whether there is or isn’t an indictment.

They use PLA in several tea bags and coffee filters now.

… of course I research and avoid those. I’m not super paranoid about plastic, but boiling it and drinking it seems insane.

What about all the WMDs we found in Iraq though?

There’s more potential in gerrymandering for Dems currently, as they’ve done less of it overall (outside of Maryland and a few others).

At the same time actually making gerrymandering illegal could start to impact current maps.

The former likely won’t matter much until 2032. The latter matters now. We all know they’re thinking in the short term.

Users didn’t like Rule 1 being enforced.

They’re both completely lawful residents. They’ve literally done nothing wrong and should have never been detained.

It can’t be more clear that he’s trying to normalize this. His message is that we shouldn’t do anything and just let happen because we didn’t do anything before this.

But really he’s just desperate that we don’t fight back. He wants Russia and China to win through Trump decimating the US.

It’s why they’re pushing so hard for schools and specifically teachers to be “apolitical”. Previously universities were exempt because we needed the people running things to have a reasonable grasp of reality.

But now they don’t like how to “college educated” people keep voting against them.

Pretty sure this one isn’t real. The "deal with this"one is.

Nothing we post here matters.

Hey, I’ve been arguing this shit online for well over a decade. The one bright side about all the manipulation and social media bots is that it validated all that effort. Apparently what we post online does matter. And they didn’t like that.

They can’t vote. They’re either not American or they’re bots.

They were working for the people because the people (who voted for Trump) wanted immigration enforcement.

They were representing their people, maybe foolishly. They were making sure there was no valid reason to vote for Trump, thinking that the vote would go logically.

Instead the vote went to propaganda and memes.
