Boddhisatva@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Recordings of Biden Justice Department interview emerge, highlighting his memory lapsesEnglish113·13 hours agoThey lied about the mental capacity of someone that could start a nuclear war…
Oh my God! Biden might fall asleep and rest his head on the big red button and start World War III! Thank God we now have a very stable genius who will start a nuclear war just because he thinks it will make him look tough.

Only for federal charges. If people are breaking state laws to push his agenda, he cannot pardon them. It’s a little thing, but it’s something.
Boddhisatva@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•FBI moving 1,500 personnel from D.C., closing storied headquarters building: PatelEnglish15·1 day agoThe FBI has been trying to get out of that building for at least eight or nine years. The intention was to move to a new building in the DC suburbs but Trump killed that plan in 2017. He wanted them in that building because it was near his hotel, I gather. The FBI then put forward a plan to modernize the J. Edgar Hoover building but the cost estimates on doing so appear to not have been, shall we say, entirely accurate. I guess the new plan is just to dump the D.C. office all together. Trump is making enough on meme-coins that he doesn’t care about the hotel revenue.
I honestly cannot help but assume that the Trump admin has some nefarious scheme in motion that will somehow hurt the American people and undermine the nations security, they always do after all, but that building has been falling apart for well over a decade.

She also wrote about it in her book because she thought it was something to be proud of.

Boddhisatva@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Hospital tells family brain-dead Georgia woman must carry fetus to birth because of abortion banEnglish12·2 days agoThis law, misguided as it is, is based on the proposal that all life is sacred. With that is mind, I have a modest proposal.
Since the poor woman is brain dead and the hospital has no choice but to keep her alive, there are some ways they might, um… extend the benefits of keeping her alive beyond the immediate area of her uterus. Her bone marrow is constantly producing life saving blood, for example, so a “donation” every few days would do her no further harm at all and the blood banks are always in need.
She also has two functioning kidneys, I assume. She only needs one to be kept alive. Anyone who is pro-life should obviously support taking one of them and using it to save another person’s life somewhere, in the USA of course. Now, some might suggest taking both kidneys and keeping her alive with dialysis but I think that would increase costs and reduce efficiency. I think the hospital should wait until nearer her due date before taking the second kidney. Likewise, she has two lungs. Obviously she doesn’t need both so we can take one of those right off. Since she will never wake up again, her eyes are of no use to her anymore. Those should go to someone in need right away.
Skin is always needed for burn units and she has plenty. Now, it might seem cruel to just remove some of her skin, even if she can’t feel pain anymore, but I have a solution for that too. Bones and other tissue are needed just as much as skin. I recommend the amputation of her legs and arms so that the skin, muscle, blood vessels, and bone tissue can all be used to save lives. It might be best to leave one of the arms for nearer her due date though since keeping it attached for now would make it easier for the nurses to maintain IVs and make those regular blood “donations”.
This is just what I’ve come up with off the top of my head. I’m sure professionals in the industry could come up with other ideas. Hmm, actually, it occurs to me that medical professionals might not be inclined to aid in brainstorming more ideas like these as their college educations tend to leave them somewhat liberal thinking. Most likely the state legislature will have to get involved again and come up with more suggestions.
Top of my head? Brainstorming? The ideas just keep coming. Is there any use for her hair? She doesn’t need that. What about her teeth? I know she’s brain dead, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t some brain tissue that couldn’t be harvested and put towards a good use without risking further harm to the most likely already non-viable fetus.
I think it’s clear that this woman and fetus’ misfortune can be turned to the good of us all. I think we should all contact the Georgia state legislature and demand that they take further pro-life steps in this matter. People are suffering and dying on organ donor wait lists and the legislature has the power to step in and demand that this woman’s parts be put to life-saving use!
P.S. If the fetus does end up being brain dead too… well, we can put a pin in that for now.

I’d doesn’t say convicted of participating in an insurrection. It says if you participate in an insurrection you are automatically intelligible for office unless the disability is removed by congress.
Boddhisatva@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Noem says DHS, Secret Service investigating Comey after he ‘called for the assassination’ of TrumpEnglish26·2 days agoPersonally, I’ve never heard the expression to “eighty-six” something to suggest violence. It just means to get rid of it or throw it away. This is a huge waste of time, but I guess that could be the title of the memoir anyone working in this administration.

Boddhisatva@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•ICE Barbie Is Now Accusing Dems of ‘Felonies’ Over Detention Center ClashEnglish2·4 days ago(I’d ban Daily Beast links if I were in charge.)
Maybe after they ban Breitbart and some of the other right-wing propaganda outlets that pop up here from time to time are banned. Actually, are any new sites actually banned here? Don’t like the site? Just down-vote and move on.
I do object to the use of Barbie here, though. Partly because I don’t hear the guys in his orbit referred to as Kens. But I mainly object because her being a plastic toy for the administration to use to spew talking points is not my main objection to her. I’m more offended by her being a sadistic monster.
This person took a one-year old puppy, that she hadn’t bothered training, into a gravel pit and shot it to death because it wasn’t trained. Now, while this is bad, what’s worse is that she included this story in her memoirs because she thought it was flattering to her. This is a far more important factor about the type of person she is and why everyone on the planet should hate her. She should never be named as anything other than Puppy-killer Kristi Noem.

Boddhisatva@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Mexican security chief confirms cartel family members entered US in a deal with Trump administrationEnglish14·4 days agoMy money is on number 4. The Guzmans must have bought a lot of Trumpcoins. The sad part for the (innocent) family members is that in a year or two, when Trump has gotten all he wants from the Cartel, he’ll have them deported back to Mexico anyway.
So 15% want Trump to go full dictator and just ignore the Supreme Court and do whatever he wants? I wish I could say I was surprised.
