They also say whatever they think other people want to see, even if they know better.

Not now. Probably always could. The amount of stuff run by radio waves and hope is incredible. This isn't just a Poland issue.

All other options having failed, sometimes that means they're no longer breathing.

I just love (/s) how tone is policed harder than literal stochastic terrorism from the right.

Flip side, it would be real nice if the regressive right hadn't systematically assassinated every left leaning leader through the 70s, and then used public policy to murder thousands of other "undesirables," and then come in and tone police and try to use civility to circumvent criticism.

It also drives home the point to anyone in a position of authority and responsibility: you will be asked to make compromises. You will be asked to make sacrifices. You must be willing to accept your own responsibility in that decision making, because you put yourself in position to do so.

Sometimes, when faced with only negative choices, you have to be willing to accept the stain of the least evil of them.

Kind of like every American president is an unindicted war criminal. We can imagine that most, if not all, of them didn't go into it to commit evil acts, but they had to be ready to do so if the other options were worse based on whatever calculus they were able to do at the time.

Honestly, the whole world.

Will it recover? Maybe. Life is resilient.

But we've already presided over a pretty quick mass extinction that is still ongoing.

Really? Because the leaders just surrendered in Atlanta. Again.

Seized if he absconds?

Could also be an attempt to avoid future searches. Doesn't seem like it would work, but it might give adequate delay or set up enough of a wall between Donald and a search warrant that they'd get some warning of what else the feds might be after.

The vast majority of the US's housing stock has been paid off. Every time a residential property changes hands, the bank gets to re-collect all of their fees for...what, exactly? Making money available? They only do that because they're underwritten by the federal government, subsidized by taxes.

So why don't we just give direct loans to people, and subsidize those who need it directly instead of funneling the money through dozens of greedy hands taking percentages off the top?

The construction workers got paid within a short time of the house being built. The developer got most of the money, and the bank continues to collect on the property for decades. The value of most of the US's housing stock was paid for years ago, and now we are all just paying for financial shell games to enrich the already rich.

It's a take that is based on lies and propaganda.

This is an example of a strawman argument. He's setting up this very specific idea of what is happening, and taking issue with it, when the vast majority of real world interactions are substantially more nuanced and specific to the kid and their family than the fake scenario put forth.

Not exactly. The fairness would include allowing the other side it's refutation on the facts.

News companies have never been required to report falsehoods just because someone famous said them. They've chosen to do that since the fairness doctrine was upended, because it aligns with their corporate interests.
