Sorry, a mixup.

Seems kindof off topic. I put the wrong title with the article and you're questioning my education level?

Since we are asking questions here let me ask you this: what do you think about a group that say it's "awful" to not clap for a kid with brain cancer and then turn around and deport a kid (who is a citizen) with cancer?

Sorry, the title about republicans being outraged that democrats wouldn't give a standing ovation to a kid with brain cancer used as a prop at the state of the union address was incorrectly paired with the article about the republicans that deported a 10 year old US citizen with brain cancer.

What's interesting is that when you point the hypocrisy, it doesn't phase them. That's because for them it's a power move, as if to say "we get to do this but you don't." Except in this case what they did was ten thousand times worse than not clapping for someone.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I put the wrong title for the article that was posted. The story of the 10 year old U.S. citizen with brain cancer being deported is not on fox news, they certainly won't talk about it there.

VX hobbyists- I've noticed a lot of people start off by configuring their encabulators with the original series of kleinhoffer cam ratios, trying to get maximum deltas with the least vacuum pressure possible. It's really better to start with dylomatic induction coefficients even if it initially seems more complicated, you'll have an easier time later with the more commonly available j-discs.

It's uncanny how much this sounds like a universal_monk talking point. And it's one that I wholeheartedly agree with. The democrats are quite useless and seem extremely unlikely to get their shit together to come up with any meaningful pro working class platform.

And Lemmy as a whole, too- unless I am very mistaken, it seems like mainstream lemmy is firmly in the liberal big-bank capitalist camp. Actual leftists (and here I am excluding tankies, just because of my personal ideological bias, I don't consider them serious or capable of producing sustainable answers) are still a smallish group.

Here's hoping that Americans turning away from fascism will see that the democrats are not a viable alternative, and that a third party, or a new way will gain enough momentum and strength to roll over these worthless bastards, conservative and liberal, to build an America that's good for everyone.

It's interesting how people post these "articles" on "news sites" that are covered with advertising like "try this one weird trick" or "put a piece of duct tape in your underwear while travelling, here's why" and try to act like its legit when its clearly not legit.

It's like those Nigerian prince email scams with deliberate misspellings and bad grammar. Hard to believe anyone with better than a 4th grade education falls for that stuff.

Don't forget jolly rancher.

there are many many people that post articles who don't discuss them at all.

Yea, that's why I wasn't talking about you specifically.

This is a conservative news community, for conservative news articles. Please read the sidebar

Exactly. The card says moops.

But I did read the sidebar and the first thing it says is that this is a place for discussion. So if a whole buncha ppl coming here and dropping off "news articles" with no discussion whatsoever, what else am I supposed to think but that these are propaganda bombs meant to disrupt reality and push a false alt-right nazi narrative? Cuz that's what it looks like.

I wasn't talking about you specifically, but you're absolutely right, you don't have to justify anything.

At the same time, there is no lemmy rule that people can't ask you why did you post this article? Do you agree/disagree? Is this your opinion and if so how do you come to that conclusion?

And if you can't or won't answer, if you don't discuss topics you bring up in a discussion area, then people are going to conclude you're not actually here to "express your opinion", but for some other reason.

This isn't about having a different opinion though, if that were the case then the people who hold these "opinions" could at least occasionally back them up with a reason, or some ideological framework from which these opinions are produced. But there never seems to be any actual reasoning behind these various opinions. The card says moops

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/trump-ford-ontario-electricity-tariffs-trade-war-1.7480234

Ontario is suspending its 25 per cent surcharge on exports of U.S.-bound electricity after a top official in the Trump administration offered an "olive branch" in the form of a meeting to discuss the escalating trade war...

According cbc, Trump folded first. I believe the Canadians on this one.

 

Cut off food for hungry children but $2.4bn for starlink? Also: Conflict of intrest? Or just plain corruption? It looks bad. Also: it is bad.

Farm policy disaster (www.washingtonpost.com)
 

The American agricultural industry as a whole is in big trouble. Mistakes made by a previous administration are still being felt, and are compounding with mistakes made by the current administration to hurt America's farmers even more.

 

Hasn't really made any progress on that yet.

 

How many representatives do they get? They have about a million more people than California. Do all Canadian citizens automatically become US citizens? Do they all automatically lose their health care? Would we have to take Toronto as part of this deal, or could they just stay their own thing? Do the border guards get laid off, or just transferred south? Do you think it would make the Quebec separatists start to get actually serious? Would the RCMP have to change to the CMP? Wouldn't it be better for the USA to join Canada?
