MountingSuspicion

In addition to what the other person said, you don't want to be sabotaging people who are upholding the laws. I don't think they'll be getting work from Trump anytime soon, so who exactly wins if they stay and the just do a worse job defending people or prosecuting people? Maybe if they worked for Rudy Giuliani or something, but they don't.

The entire article is worth a read. I hope people read past the headline because it is a wild ride.

Why can't people just not rape children. Like, just don't do that. Obviously, don't rape anybody, but holy goodness please stop raping children.

I think it's great that the state has opened up the window for these people to find justice, but how is it that the rapists themselves are not being charged? The people and the state should be able to sue the rapists. Also, everyone that didn't report it immediately or helped sweep it under the rug.

Some kid was put in juvie for riding a dirt bike and was repeatedly raped there. When he reported it nothing happened and he was still raped. Absolutely disgusting. What do you even say about that?

I was born here to US citizens and even I'm scared. I have an international flight coming up that was planned forever ago and I am legitimately concerned about reentry. I have a passport and have never had a problem before, but they are detaining whoever they want now. I cannot suggest strongly enough to not come here. Don't support US companies or industries. Support trade with allies and partners that you can rely on and that will support and defend you and democracy.

Don't tempt the US military with a good time. Killing civilians is the only thing a lot of them have field experience doing.

Obviously he's innocent and being framed and therefore should be found innocent, but if he gets out he's going to be watched like a hawk. He'll have a whole team dedicated to his surveillance. Again, super innocent, didn't do it.

Yea, that's the bs payments I was referring to. I was deviating from my point already, so I didn't wanna get into it, but yea.

For no reason in particular.

When I read the title I assumed maybe she got measles even though she was vaccinated or something, but no. She was unvaccinated, got measles, and died. And her parents are saying measles isn't as bad as people are making it sound. Absolutely insane. It killed their daughter, and because it didn't kill ALL of their kids, it's fine actually? I wonder what percentage of their kids it would need to kill before they admitted maybe it was serious? These people are sick, unfortunately with something way worse than measles.

You're incorrect mostly because the postal service (pretty famously at least in leftist spaces) DID make money (not every year admittedly). In fact, by law (aka cuz capitalists got mad) the post office is expected to ensure pricing covers the cost of fulfillment so the market stays competitive. Arguably, the main reason it is facing difficulties is because the government tried to force some bs payments onto it that were reversed by Biden in 2022. Regardless, you're kind of making my point? It really feels like people are not reading what I wrote. The argument that a government agency needs funding and therefore can't be a source of cost cutting or revenue is a bad argument. Governments require money to function. If the agency costs money, saves money, or makes money, it doesn't matter. At some point, money will need to be allocated to it, even if it's just to start it up. Saying "it costs money so that a problem" doesn't make sense as an argument, even if it's used against doge.

For clarity: I AM PRO POST OFFICE AND ANTI DOGE.

I don't understand how that is related to my comment?

If I said "minimum wage laws are impractical/unrealistic and aim to phase out low wage jobs" in defense of illegally paying people less than minimum wage, that doesn't make it ok? You could say the same about EPA rules, or FDA rules. I understand that people do that, but they are bad people who are breaking the law. If companies can't meet the standards then they can't meet them. So be it. They're not legally guaranteed a right to make their product, especially if it violates our regulations. If it becomes an issue, the government can then revise their regulations.

I never said they did (or didn't)? Clearly they are attempting to now, but my comment was not really about doge in specific. I said that needing funding is not inherently antithetical to a cost cutting department, and that it's not really a valid reason to take issue with a department. I also said more than once that I don't like/support doge.

Not sure if it's a reading comprehension issue, or people are on edge because literal fascist are coming out from the woodwork, but not every comment against Doge/Trump/Elon is valid (most are) and not every comment pointing that out is inherently fascist.
