Oh hey, that's the thing from the Trump Derangement Syndrome bill

GOP leaders call on Sen. Eichorn to resign after arrest for allegedly soliciting a minor

Bloomington police say state Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, was arrested around 6 p.m. Monday for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution. House and Senate Republican leaders called for Eichorn to step down.

I mean, all the "trans panic" is because Republicans are afraid that the underage girls they go after might turn out to be boys.

While, I'm the first to admit I was surprised that Russia actually went for it, I don't think it's the trauma of WW2 that's the reason, given the time frame involved, I mean.

I don't think the whole "traumatised by war" thing really was the same for the Russians. After all, ultimately they won, and that has a different sort of impact.

One might note the UK and France remained significantly more militaristic too. Once liberated in 1944 France extremely rapidly mobilised and had an entire army in the field within a few months, thus contributed very significant forces to the Nazis' final downfall. Despite the beating it had taken, it was enough to make France credibly feel it could count itself amongst the winners.

And the Soviet Union got the eastern bit of Germany as well.

And, of course, France went on to committing to war in Indo-China afterwards.

Pam Bondi Says Trump Admin. Won’t Comply with Judge’s Ruling on Deportations

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Trump administration will not comply with a federal judge's recent ruling on deportations. She confirmed that the administration will continue to deport Venezuelan immigrants, despite the judge's order to pause these efforts.

Please stop using words like fascism when it doesn't apply. You expect a judge's order to immediately be processed and enforced by government agencies? It was a 10 minute gap...

Oh no how awkward for you....
If you had the slightest sense of self reflection or intellectual honesty.

Trump's entire shtick is being nice to anyone who's nice to him and a colossal jerk to anyone who isn't, subject to change the instant the person changes their tone, with neither grudges nor loyalty.

I suppose that's not completely inaccurate. Treating Trump like a gigantic baby who needs his hand held, his hair ruffled and confirmation he's been a good boy occasionally gets success. Its likely what Rutte is doing right now. But its not completely correct either. Merkel for example did nothing to trigger Trump except being the symbol of the rule based democratic order Trump hates. Trump is also notoriously vengeful and petty so while he'll never repay good treatment with loyalty, he always repays imagined bad treatment with grudges.

So somebody said that somebody said they weren't going to do something? Seems like a whole bunch of Matlock hearsay to me. When has the judge's orders actually been ignored?

Also, it looks like the judge might not have the authority to do that as well. We will see.

By now you must know he doesn't know the meaning of any of these words, including 'awkward'.

The Department of Defense has deleted an article about Jackie Robinson's service history in the Army from its website.

Jackie Robinson's Army history deleted by Pentagon

The webpage's URL now begins with the letters D.E.I.

Because he was black, you see, and as any Trump supporter would tell you, only white men did anything that matters.

Families of deported Venezuelans are distraught their loved ones were sent to El Salvador

The White House has invoked the Alien Enemies Act and alleged that those who were removed were linked to a gang, a claim their families strongly reject.

For anyone who might not be following, they set an algorithm to flag things on government websites, and then they go right back live later, potentially with minor changes. This has been happening since the first week of the new administration. There have been dozens of worthless headlines about it. The page hasn't been deleted, just set to redirect for usually a matter of hours. So far as I can tell, the content of that article is unchanged, only a link at the bottom to the tag "black history" has been removed.

In 20 years this will be even worse. We are already at a fertility rate of 2.2, soon it will be 2.1, then 2.0, and goes on. If our leaders were aliens who designed the social systems to destroy humanity's future they have succeeded.

In my opinion, if you don't have children or adopt, you should work a five-day workweek; otherwise, you get a four-day workweek.

Europe was so heavily damaged by WW2 that the whole continent is still traumatized and does not condone any border change by war. That is also why Europe still got taken by surprise when Russia invaded Ukraine - they just couldn't believe that Russia didn't have a similar aversion.

I think Russia's unique role in WW2 explains a lot about them not having such aversions. Most (non axis) European countries were victims that had their lands invaded and their populations oppressed and even slaughtered. Russia also experienced those things yet it was also, if not primarily an aggressor. They were the ones doing the invading, the oppressing and the slaughtering. This to the extend they even directly schemed with the Nazi's to start WW2 in order for them to invade Poland so they could oppress and even slaughter the Polish. Russia's trauma isn't about the war happening, its about the war they helped start horrifically backfiring on them.

And sure millions of Russians died but why would the Kremlin itself develop war aversion from that? The Kremlin whatever its form has never cared about the Russian population. By all accounts the Kremlin likely considers the mass casualties to be resources well spend in getting Poland, and then half of Europe along with it. The Russian people suffered from the war but through the war the Russian state got all the Tsars past victims as well as whole new territories like Hungary and parts of Germany to oppress.

Fellow aggressor Germany is traumatized by how far it descended into barbarism during the war, but the Kremlin always glorified its misdeeds and still does it to this day. Russia isn't like Europe's other nations in the war. Its not like its fellow victims of the war, nor like its fellow aggressors.

Now I'm not a pilot or an aerospace engineer, nor a telecomms specialist of any sort, but it seems to me that not only do planes have that ability to turn around, we also have the ability to communicate to them that they either are to do so or to refuel at their destination and return without handing over non-convicted people to a government known for human rights abuses. Or is that too much to demand?

So fascism is not having a plane turn around, really? The planes were out of the country already.
