Context: Fox News Star Stuns With Unreal Take On ‘Nazis’ And ‘The Blacks’

I can't properly select text from the first few paragraphs of the article, but the guy in the picture in the OP is Greg Gutfeld, co-host of Fox News' "The Five", and he actually said that stuff on the air.

I don't think this is an iOS problem, unless the Bluesky post predates the feature that showed me this when I tried to insert a picture in OneNote:

Choosing "Limit Access..." lead to this:

It's not like you can really trust a "no" from these people. Kavanaugh and Barrett were both asked about Roe during their Supreme Court nomination hearings, and they both responded like it was settled law and they'd leave it alone. Look how that worked out.

It's in the comics too.

At the time he even bragged about how smart he was to put a clause in the new agreement that will have it up for review in 2026. And then he proceeded to blow things up in 2025 instead of waiting to address up his problems during the review.

I think the only position on immigration Trump cares about is Stephen Miller's. Also, someone who's supposed to be term limited, and will definitely rig the election if he somehow runs again anyway, doesn't really need to care about public opinion too much. It's not like there seems to be much risk of anybody overthrowing the government.

You’d have to remove half the supreme court

Make that two thirds of the Supreme Court. Most of the worst decisions have been 6-3.

The injunction will stay in place. The bike lanes will stay for now.

That quote didn't come from the Ford government. This is the paragraph before that:

Ontario Liberal energy critic Ted Hsu said prioritizing grid access for major economic projects makes sense — but only if done transparently and free of partisan influence.

Oh don't worry, Trump will put a 1000% tariff on the Chinese stuff to protect any remaining US production, or just to make sure nobody can afford solar panels.

The US has a law to limit the liability of gun manufacturers.

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a U.S law, passed in 2005, that protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products. Both arms manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible. However, they may be held liable for negligent entrustment if it is found that they had reason to believe a firearm was intended for use in a crime.

I'm pretty sure this supreme court would rule that people don't have a right to electricity, or even water. They'll probably be totally ok with people losing internet access as punishment for crossing media owners.

 

There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.

But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.

Poilievre specifically rejects the legitimacy of the ICC charges against Netanyahu, on the specious grounds that Netanyahu was democratically elected.
