@squid_slime
Is it that rare for people to admit when they're wrong on the internet?
@TruffleStuff True. Can't say that I care though lol
@wintermute_oregon While you're right, my only problem with this is that there's no harm in just providing that precision now.
While I'm not going through conniptions over this like the #BlueAnon wokeboi crew here, there is a part of me that suspects that this ruling could risk giving the #POTUS too much power in the future. With a ruling so broad, caution, rather than jubilance or terror, seems to be the only reasonable stance to take until we know just what this ruling will do.
@Gradually_Adjusting Your biases might be coming into play here. There's not much to indicate that this is the case.
#Trump hasn't signaled that he wishes to do many actions as #POTUS in the future that would bump up against this, and for all of #Trump's complaints, #JoeBiden hasn't done much that would brush up against this either. I'd expect the 2028 administration to be the one that tests this ruling, and who knows if it would be a #GOP or #Democrat admin (though likely the latter)
@Gradually_Adjusting @wintermute_oregon I think it depends on how this ruling gets applied/interpreted.
There is a real risk, pointed out by #Sotomayor, that federal procedures could legitimize illegal acts like assassinations. However, one could just as easily presume that such actions would be unconstitutional and therefore fall outside the bounds of ordinary business, and thus do not meet the criteria for "official acts".
I wish this ruling had a bit more precision.

Usually I'm with you but...HUH? #ElonMusk literally owns #X, one of the largest social media platforms, and therefore has some amount of political power in the #USA.
@sunzu @Kaboom I think when the #CarlLentz situation happened, it really opened the floodgates for pastors to be exposed and their victims to be believed
@sunzu @Kaboom The Christians? They hate it, and are starting to sour more on celebrity pastors. It's something that's been happening for awhile, but with #RobertMorris and #TonyEvans' scandals happening back-to-back (although #TonyEvans has gotten some tepid respect for voluntarily stepping down, which is fair) has escalated that mistrust.
@sunzu @Kaboom I heard about that one cuz it went viral in #Christian circles, that story is awful. Probably wouldn't fit in the narrative of this community though since he's white
@janonymous Ahhhhhh I see. Yes, you are right.
@janonymous The headline is accurate. Remember, this is what it says:
> GERMANY: Woman Convicted Of “Offending” Migrant Gang Rapists Receives Longer Prison Sentence Than The Rapists - The Publica
What makes it accurate is whether or not it is true, whether or not it says what you want it to say. So long as the woman got a longer prison sentence than the rapists, which she did, than it is accurate.
@janonymous @Kaboom The headline is accurate.
Harassment is not worse than rape, the rapists should be facing more time than the person they raped.
@wintermute_oregon Bump stocks should never have been banned lol
@wintermute_oregon #MAGA rarely pays attention to these sorts of things but it's funny that the #Trump administration brought in the bump stock ban and the #JoeBiden administration got rid of them
(Yes I know the president doesn't control the #SupremeCourt, but still)
@wintermute_oregon I thought the #Democrat party had moved away from the whole #DefundThePolice thing. That died with #BLM. Weird.
@dont_lemmee_down That's a pretty creative take, I must admit! However you're right, #NancyFaeser is closer to the situation and probably knows more about it.
However, if nobody is thinking or suspecting that this is or might be an Islamic terrorist attack, why even bring that up? Especially knowing this these types of instances inflame and provoke the far right.
@FooBarrington Yes, thanks for the correction. I thought I had edited the post.
@morphballganon If they were, that would make no sense
@morphballganon Many of these things might make people mad, sure, but the people replying in this community seem more mad that these things are getting reported than that these things are happening.
