Empty boots, with smoke still emanating from them.

slickgoat@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump trashes China for ignoring his warning not to retaliate over tariffs11·13 days agoActually, in every definition of the word, on the international stage, he most definitely speaks for you.
If not, please go ahead and overturn the tariff bullshit.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•Today I learned hyphenated words are largly obsoleteEnglish1·13 days agoOne one space permitted. Nah, I’m not an actual slave to the dictates of grammar Nazis. That’s why such books are called guides.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.233·15 days agoYou want the people to “Maga hat” riot the white house? You think that’s the plan?
Were you dropped on your head as a baby?
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•California to negotiate trade with other countries to bypass Trump tariffs81·16 days agoThe whole “no legal precedence”. Has been a thing for a few years now. We have what used to be called chaos nowadays.
The richest man on the face of the planet is actually a victim.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•Today I learned hyphenated words are largly obsoleteEnglish4·19 days agoThat takes me back. That was the standard reference for my journalism degree 35 years ago. I still have it.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Why plans are already in motion for a Trump third term – no matter what the law says4·22 days agoTrump is just a sock puppet for the corporations and ideological doom players behind him. He has no idea what’s going on most of the time.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Journalist publishes every damning text from war plans leak46·25 days agoWhatever… Exactly zero consequences…
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Texans might soon have to show photo ID to buy a dildo online5·26 days agoWar on orgasms. Catchy political slogan.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•What happens to your data if 23andMe collapses?English1·26 days agoSo if a lab rat adds, deletes or edits a person’s DNA it is no longer a ‘product of nature’?
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•What happens to your data if 23andMe collapses?English9·26 days agoI did this over a year ago, requesting that they delete my shit.
I got a nice email back saying that they would do so, but would retain necessary material to comply with local laws and law enforcement obligations.
So, my best bet is they didn’t delete anything. I only hope is that they don’t put it on the open market.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump ramps up attacks on judges, calls out Justice John Roberts11·1 month agoEven it true (and I’m sure that you’re right), are you seriously telling me that Roberts’ ragtag blob of clerks and security guards will overcome Trump’s FBI and Federal security apparatus?
Or is your point just a technical correction?
I don’t think that deputising a few people is going to disarm Donnie. Especially after their ruling that any “official acts” he makes are legal and legitimate.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump ramps up attacks on judges, calls out Justice John Roberts3·1 month agoHe’ll fold like a beach chair. Rather than be humiliated by having their rulings ignored, they’ll just agree with the Republicans on everything.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump ramps up attacks on judges, calls out Justice John Roberts21·1 month agoJudges are political appointees so they deliver a political ruling. Everyone is acting shocked. They’ve been doing this shit for decades. The only difference is that they’ve turned it up a couple of notches.
Didn’t Justice Samuel Alito fly an upside-down flag outside their home in 2021? He blamed his wife, but it was a clear MAGA bat signal, if there ever was one.
You don’t have to have political parties pick your preferred brand of justice. Shocking as that might sound, most other western democracies don’t do it.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump ramps up attacks on judges, calls out Justice John Roberts1·1 month agoThe supreme court doesn’t have a police force to enforce their rulings. JD Vance worked that out before the election. It relies upon the Federal government, as an institution, to follow it’s will. Then came MAGA and the LOLs will ensure.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•The Pentagon Denies the F-35 Has a Kill Switch, but Its Software Demands Amount to the Same Thing1·1 month agoNo, you took a rhetorical statement literally.
I was conceding your point.
slickgoat@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•The Pentagon Denies the F-35 Has a Kill Switch, but Its Software Demands Amount to the Same Thing4·1 month agoNot arguing that it wasn’t. Perhaps we shouldn’t have bought shit we couldn’t use?
Not in anyway an expert on matters naval, but diesel subs are pretty quiet running on electric motors. Nuclear reactors make more noise.
Feel free to correct me.
