  • After Supreme Court immunity ruling, Biden draws sharp contrast with Trump on obeying rule of law

    Jump

  • Once the Court is cleared (and possible Congress) enact laws that forbide POTUS from doing anything that's on the law books now. That should hog-tie the orange asshole for a bit anyway.

    Unless ofc he's one of 'cleared' people. Then America will be fine.

  • Trump asks for conviction to be overturned after immunity ruling

    Jump

  • As a Canadian, with whom you share the longest undefended border in the world and billions of dollars in cross-border trade, I feel bad for you all.

    But I think we might have to build our own wall soon to keep this kind of shit out of Canada.

  • ‘Epidemic’ of sex trafficking alleged at Red Roof Inn hotels across US

    Jump

  • You're only going on the numbers in this article tho. There are other instances of trafficking that raise those numbers exponentially.

    Inquiry must validate stories of indigenous women prostituted on ships: NWAC

    The United States, along with Mexico and the Philippines, was ranked one of the world's worst places for human trafficking in 2018. In the US, there is no official number of human trafficking victims, but estimates place it in the hundreds of thousands.

    Children are more vulnerable than adults. They're easier to control, cheaper, and less likely to demand working conditions, researchers explained. More than 300,000 young people in the US are considered "at risk" of sexual exploitation.

  • ‘Mansplaining’ UK election coverage marginalises women’s concerns, study finds

    Jump

  • While I agree with some of that, you seemed to immediately spin to the one woman who was shit to represent all women in politics.

    Do better.

  • The problem is that other nations don't have a 2nd Amendment that guarantees the right to bear arms.

  • Minor who died in poultry plant accident got the job with the identity of a 32-year-old

    Jump

  • I have no idea.

  • Minor who died in poultry plant accident got the job with the identity of a 32-year-old

    Jump

  • Because he was legally underage to work in the plant. And he may not have had ID in the first place.

  • Removed

    ExMuslims :We Were Taught to Hate Jews and israel. ‘It’s like asking me how often I drink water. Antisemitism was everywhere.’ Apostates, former muslims, and an almost-terrorist on how they changed

  • Not quite all the info here tho, right?

    C'mon now. If leftists are gonna be taken seriously we can't just leave out the stuff that doesn't back our own confirmation bias.

  • Afghanistan: 'Tea is sometimes all I have to give my hungry baby'

    Jump

  • Why?

    There are always other ways to get the required info, like asking the tribal leaders what help they and their people wanted and/or needed.

  • Body Cameras Were Sold as a Tool of Police Reform. Ten Years Later, Most of the Footage Is Kept From Public View.

    Jump

  • Incorrect.

    Police are purposefully obstructing justice by blocking the footage (making) police cams useless.

  • Afghanistan: 'Tea is sometimes all I have to give my hungry baby'

    Jump

  • I referenced 'the people' not 'the leadership'.

  • Afghanistan: 'Tea is sometimes all I have to give my hungry baby'

    Jump

  • The US was forcing/enforcing its own image on a sovereign nation who didn't need or want that ... just like they had so many times before. And it failed spectacularly like it had before.

    Maybe next time they'll ask what help the people want and provide that instead ... but if Biden's demands on the Palestinian Authority are any indication, America hasn't learned anything from its failures.

    PA seeks probe after Israeli ‘bulldozers crush patients’ at Gaza hospital

  • Minor who died in poultry plant accident got the job with the identity of a 32-year-old

    Jump

  • But, and hear me out here, I'd like to see every employee (involved in the hiring or management) of ALL the companies involved pay a price for employing children in the first place.

    That's not saying that a UBI shouldn't be enacted as well. I want both done.

  • Trump to install loyalists to reshape U.S. foreign policy on China, NATO and Ukraine

    Jump

  • Because every poll has him winning. I know it's 11 months to the election but people have to realize the real danger he poses to America.

  • Afghanistan: 'Tea is sometimes all I have to give my hungry baby'

    Jump

  • The US spent a very small portion of the $133+ billion dollars on infrastructure (which is not the same as their advertised 'restructuring' or 'reconstruction').

    By some measures, life in Afghanistan has improved markedly since 2001. Infant mortality rates have dropped. The number of children in school has soared. The size of the Afghan economy has nearly quintupled.

    but

    ... those interviewed said Washington foolishly tried to reinvent Afghanistan in its own image by imposing a centralized democracy and a free-market economy on an ancient, tribal society that was unsuited for either.

    and

    Congress and the White House made matters worse by drenching the destitute country with far more money than it could possibly absorb. The flood crested during Obama’s first term as president, as he escalated the number of U.S. troops in the war zone to 100,000.

    It all failed because of

    haphazard planning, misguided policies, bureaucratic feuding. Many said the overall nation-building strategy was further undermined by hubris, impatience, ignorance and a belief that money can fix anything. Much of the money, they said, ended up in the pockets of overpriced contractors or corrupt Afghan officials, while U.S.-financed schools, clinics and roads fell into disrepair, if they were built at all.
