It's weird you missed where my quote says "without consent" and used that as a springboard to derail the conversation away from your original claim. Do you think Trump consents to the memes people make about him? Why were the Democrats so eager to give him the power to remove any online depiction of him that he didn't consent to, and why are you so desperate to whitewash the facts of the situation?

I didn't mention S.2073. I mentioned S.146 or "TAKE IT DOWN Act" which covers:
Specifically, the bill prohibits the online publication of intimate visual depictions of
an adult subject where publication is intended to cause or does cause harm to the subject, and where the depiction was published without the subject’s consent or, in the case of an authentic depiction, was created or obtained under circumstances where the adult had a reasonable expectation of privacy; or
a minor subject where publication is intended to abuse or harass the minor or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.
And requires social media companies to remove images within 48 hours (meaning automatic removals with no time to review when talking about the scale of places like Facebook and Instagram).
This means any memes someone creates about Trump will now automatically be removed since he'll claim they intend to cause him harm. He specifically stated that this is how he'll use this law.
This was signed into law by Trump today after passing the House 409-2 last month. The two dissenting votes were from Republicans.
I noticed you seemed to gloss over every single other criticism in my comment as well. Why is that if you think you're better informed on "actual policy" and "history" of the Democratic party?
It's quite the opposite actually. Actual policy and history demonstrate that they absolutely do not follow through with their claims and promises. You seem to be ignorant of both of these while basing your opinion off the empty rhetoric they spout in the media.
Their most landmark legislation in the past 20 years was the ACA, which they passed when they held a supermajority in government and didn't need any Republican support, and yet they decided to drop single-payer in order to pass a Republican healthcare plan that cemented the private insurance model into law while increasing government subsidies to insurance companies meaning even more of our tax dollars are funneled into executive and shareholder pockets while people are still struggling to afford skyrocketing healthcare costs. They didn't need any Republican support (nor did they receive it) yet they still chose to screw the American people with this bill. How do you explain that?
They also just unanimously voted to pass an internet censorship bill along with all but two Republicans. Trump has stated that he will use this bill to silence his critics and every single Dem Representative voted in favor of it.
They also passed the Republican government spending bill which retroactively legalized all the illegal DOGE cuts they'd been making.
Maybe you should stop listening to the empty promises and virtue signaling and start looking at their actual actions. Modern Dems are to the right of Reagan even if they claim otherwise.
The knowledge you seek is right at your fingertips, and yet you choose to remain confused, hostile, and ignorant. No wonder you're such an angry person.
We gradually lost the chip business, and now it's almost exclusively in Taiwan. They stole it from us." This is one of the US president's regular refrains.
This coming from the guy who canceled the CHIPS Act that saw investments going toward US chip manufacturing needed by companies like US based Intel Corp? What a maroon.
Also this author seems to think that this AZ fab is "the most important in the world" yet TSMC has already stated that they will not bring their bleeding edge processes to the US or any other fab outside of Taiwan. This fab will be producing older nodes not the latest and greatest. I don't think it will go as badly as the Foxconn plant in Wisconsin, but it's not going to be a state of the art R&D facility or anything.
Maybe you should try reading some posts to see what the community is about rather than assuming it's some sort of PirateBay knockoff.
And yet none of that has ever happened regardless of how well the Dems do at the ballot box.
Most low wage jobs in the US have a mandatory drug test when you're hired, which is easy enough to defeat. The only things that don't leave your system after a couple days are all the mild things like weed.
I've had several retail and service jobs where I had to drug test before getting hired and just took a "cleaner" from a headshop before doing them and passed each time despite using the devils lettuce in my off time, but none of these were places that do random testing after being hired. Being able to be choosy with jobs is somewhat of a luxury in the US, so consider yourself fortunate.
A delivery job is a tossup because it may be more heavily regulated than jobs that don't involve heavy machinery. If it's a delivery job that requires a CDL, I would skip it because you can be pulled over and tested at any time. Even marijuana can be penalized here since these jobs are covered by federal regulations and national insurance companies which have requirements for a drug free workplace.
It's been happening in the US for a long time too.
The owners and mods aren't anonymous to anyone who can access a court order and I'd rather not have these communities shut down just so you can post scam links to "Doom" and some shitty low budget Jason Statham movie from your one day old account.
If you hate this platform so much, what are you doing here? Sounds like you're just upset that you're not getting enough foot traffic to the place you have your scam hosted and are now lashing out about it.
Direct links to pirated stuff are always taken down on any public forum like this because it's illegal and can make the group and instance owner liable for hosting it because everyone can see it, including lawyers and police.
"For like 8 months" is quite a long time when you consider all the damage Trump has done in the 4 months since his inauguration while Senate Republicans only hold 53 seats.
They haven't stopped following that policy which is exactly why they face so much criticism and keep losing elections. Their talk is cheap and they're more than willing to help Republicans destroy the country.
