NYT really thinks its readers are this stupid
In this tech-savvy age, when many get their questions answered online by swiping a phone or clicking a mouse, the consulate sessions are a throwback to another era, when problems were addressed face to face.
“Cliche factory on line two, something about overtime pay?”

News@lemmy.world•More than 100 judges have ruled against the Trump admin’s mandatory detention policy
213·1 day agoAnd what’s the point of that? NOTHING has changed,
Not true, hundreds of individual people have been released orat leats had their deportations paused
The onslaught of legal rejections has come in hundreds of individual cases, typically filed on an emergency basis after ICE’s targets are arrested at courthouses or check-ins with immigration officers. Though a handful of class action lawsuits have been filed seeking to block the administration’s expanded detention policy, they have advanced slowly and seem weeks — perhaps months — from resolution.
Lots of terrible things are being done and any kind of justice is happening unacceptly slowly and arbitrarily, but saying “NOTHING” is happening isn’t true and makes things seem more hopeless than they are

191·4 days agoYou don’t understand, he’s being hopeful and positive while being Muslim, and the last “national moment of unity” this fucking scumbag is willing to recognize as such is when “all” of “us” came together after 9/11 to be super shitty to anyone who looked like they were from the middle east. Taking away their easy scapegoat really does feel divisive to these psychotic ghouls.

If we’d had this calibur of journalism about a century ago they would have said the Hindenburg appeared to be experiencing a potential flight delay, I swear
Potential penalties for violations include both administrative and criminal sanctions such as suspension or removal from duty, fines and imprisonment
I mean, this is the sound of a journalist screaming internally “SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING”, but the time to start screaming externally was a while ago

politics @lemmy.world•DOD accepts anonymous $130M donation to partially cover troop pay
28·11 days agoI think that’s what this administration want us to think, but in reality
White House officials said that covering the cost of military pay for the first half of October totaled about $6.5 billion. Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst at the American Enterprise Institute
FFS, could the news media go more than two sentences without treating a right wing hack organization like a serious viewpoint, fuck
Ugh, whatever, sorry for interrupting, do some middle school level math for us Todd
Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, said that based on that figure, the new donation will cover about one-third of one day’s pay for the force.
So, yeah, this is a dumb stunt designed to get us to think they just privatized the military, but it’s actually empty bullshit

22·11 days agoFascists are trying to terrify us with stupid shit that I fell for (at least for a minute there)
The $130 million donation is unlikely to make any meaningful impact toward covering salaries of the roughly 1.3 million active duty military troops, netting out to about $100 per service member.

17·11 days agoI don’t want this government reopened until Trump has been removed from office, personally. I hope mutual aid networks are able to support people who need nutrition housing and healthcare insurance and support good government workers, but giving a budget to the administration of Donald Trump can not happen, it will only be used to cause further suffering.

News@lemmy.world•Pentagon to use $130 million donation from anonymous Trump ‘friend’ to pay military members
85·11 days agoYeah, this is super illegal and sketchy as all hell, the country’s military being beholden to some private oligarchs is some “end of the Roman empire” type of stupidly corrupt and destabilizing idiocy
However (and I only noticed this after posting and kinda feel bad for being misled), this is also some stupid fascist theater that’s trying to make the administration and their dipshit oligarch friends look more powerful than they actually are
The $130 million donation is unlikely to make any meaningful impact toward covering salaries of the roughly 1.3 million active duty military troops, netting out to about $100 per service member.
They want us to despair and think that everything is all over and they’ve won everything forever, but in reality they’re morons who ruin everything they touch who have to keep doing terrifying performative fascist bullshit to keep their followers from noticing how stupid and incapable they are. Don’t get me wrong, that performative fascist bullshit hurts and kills people, but these scumbags do not have resources or the competence to hurt and kill all of us as much as they try to project that image.
We all know they’re evil, but what we need to remind ourselves and constantly remind all of their supporters is that they are weak. The fascist mind cannot handle that.

You’re remembering correctly, but grand jury indictments are only required for felony charges not misdemeanors. Way less serious charge than they were trying for originally, but if he’s unlucky enough to get 12 scumbags on his jury he could still end up being fined or doing a few months in jail.
