CapgrasDelusionto politics •This congresswoman was born and raised in Ukraine. She just voted against aid for her homeland3·1 year agoThis is the best summary I could come up with:
The GOP found their token.
The original article contains 982 words, the summary contains 5 words. Saved 99%.
CapgrasDelusionto News•Far-right network OAN retracts false story about Michael Cohen affair with Stormy Daniels23·1 year agoDamage already done, as always. They lie because it works. They retract because that doesn’t.
CapgrasDelusionto politics •Meadows, Giuliani and other Trump allies charged in Arizona 2020 election probe1·1 year agoIt appears to be a Sisyphean effort to prevent their comments from being scraped by AI.
CapgrasDelusionto News•Supreme Court rejects appeal by former New Mexico county commissioner banned for Jan. 6 insurrection9·1 year agoSomething I’m not sure is talked about enough that is a consequence of that decision is they also removed enforcement of the 14th from the judicial branch, for no reason. The question was narrow: “Can States do this?” The ruling was: “No, they can’t, only Congress.” A better ruling (barring, “yes they can”) would have been: “No, they can’t.” Which would leave room for a convicted insurrectionist to be barred by the courts by said conviction.
Based on the actual decision Trump could lose the insurrection trial in DC and still be President because the Supreme Court just removed their ability to say otherwise. For no reason other than to protect Trump as far as I can tell. They’re not so stupid they’d remove power on accident, not to mention the more liberal justices and Barrett point this problem out explicitly in their concurrence.
All of this is moot because none of these federal cases will be decided by the election. The SCOTUS taking up Trump’s obnoxious immunity argument instead of saying the appeals court got it right already guaranteed that.
CapgrasDelusionto politics •Mar-a-Lago judge blasted for late trial date: "Cannon is slow-walking this case to benefit Trump"16·2 years agoShocking no one. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if she’s literally in contact with Trump. Through an intermediary or directly.

If that works it’s a known bug and there’s a fix in this thread:

CapgrasDelusionto politics •'We have mugshots ready for you,' Georgia sheriff says ahead of possible Trump indictment11·2 years agoZero disagreement. I think you’re using “natural” where I would use “intended.” Cheers.
CapgrasDelusionto politics •'We have mugshots ready for you,' Georgia sheriff says ahead of possible Trump indictment17·2 years agoFirst, some of you seem to be missing the word “unfortunately” in my comments and in my defense I was young and raised that way. Second, social policy wise yes but am I/others not allowed to learn, grow, and change? It is not a natural progression just a likely one, again unfortunately. Third, sucking Russia’s dick and selling US intelligence? Fully bonkers. Opposite of natural in my personal opinion.
CapgrasDelusionto politics •'We have mugshots ready for you,' Georgia sheriff says ahead of possible Trump indictment33·2 years agoThis stupid response is why I hate the quote from this article. It will be taken out of context (it already is in this post) so these people can make it sound personal and frame it as such. Just take the mugshot and when challenged say you’re treating him like everyone else, don’t crow about it beforehand.
Having said that I don’t think acting like an adult will have an impact on people like jcb2016 so maybe I’m wrong.
The guy hoarded nuclear secrets, attack plans, DEFENSE plans, ordered people to “find” votes. As an old guy who unfortunately was once a Reagan republican the GOP acting like this is mind blowing to me. The man is a traitor.
CapgrasDelusionto Lemmy.World Announcements•Steve Huffman mad about blackout, wants to make it easier to remove moderators.English9·2 years agoPeople have complained about the “first come first served” mod problem for years. It’s 100% Reddit’s MO not to fix something until it’s made national news and fixing it is self-serving.
Beatbump for YouTube music. Lidarr/deemix for downloading.
So far I’m a big fan of kbin, it’s basically Lemmy and Mastodon together. They are definitely creaking under the strain but I’m excited for what’s in store over there. Will probably be my main account once things settle down.
CapgrasDelusiontoFree and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•What can I use my basic VPS for?1·2 years agoIt might. But anecdotally, I have three instances of Adguard Home that my router uses, one local and two VPS. The fastest is on a VPS, ~7ms average processing time. My local instance is in the teens, probably because I’m abusing that poor machine hosting too much. But a VPS based DNS server is a viable option in my personal experience.
Agree entirely except the part about the people keeping a Republican Senate. The Senate is rigged. 1 person from Wyoming should not have the same power as 65 from California. The entire point of the Senate is to rig things against what most people want if it goes against what small states want.
“According to James Madison, “The use of the Senate is to consist in proceeding with more coolness, with more system, and with more wisdom, than the popular branch.””
By far the popular vote is not for the GOP and hasn’t been since 2004. The Senate makes sure that doesn’t matter. Gerrymandering the house does the rest.
Similar to the Senate issue, the last time a Republican won both the popular vote and the electoral vote was again 2004. The electoral college is the same problem compounded. The people haven’t picked a Republican president in 20 years.
