politics @lemmy.world•'Take the vaccine, please,' a top US health official says in an appeal as measles cases rise
2·8 days agoI really wonder about such swings. Can I ask - has his physical health deteriorated? I’m wondering if that precedes this sort of thing. Perhaps he is hypertensive? Undetectable mini strokes? Brain injury makes sense for this big of a shift to me. Feel free not to reply but I am interested

News@lemmy.world•The Supreme Court lets California use its new, Democratic-friendly congressional map
37·13 days agoExactly. As much of a leftist as I am, redrawing electoral maps on the basis of party advantage disenfranchises voters. It is antidemocratic and ethically wrong. California, where I am a registered Democrat, really fucked up here.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Just Pardoned a Convicted Fraudster He Previously Freed from Prison for a Different Fraud in 2021
61·1 month agoExactly. Many were historians and Christians.
They already had the previous example of the sale of indulgences within the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. Even American colonial revolutionaries were offered pardons by King George III to stop fighting.
Commenter below cites the fact that the expectation was that the congress would step in if popular sentiment was outraged by this sort of thing, but this state of affairs was foreseeable.
They ended up with a powerful executive even though they believed previous kings had too much power. e.g. “His Excellency” George Washington refused the title of King.
Also of note is that there were relatively few voters and they were privileged and generally well educated and informed members of the public. White men with land.

News@lemmy.world•ICE Agent Who Killed Mother of Three Revealed as Iraq War Veteran With Immigrant Filipina Wife
121·1 month agoThis thread is full of people imagining that he committed war crimes in Iraq, but it’s also very likely that he once had discipline, the threat of consequences, formal training in weapons, use of force, the rules of engagement, and the concept of restraint.
It’s far likelier IMO that when he joined law enforcement, and particularly ICE, he felt that he could be less restrained.

politics @lemmy.world•Five Years Later, It’s Clear Jan 6 (and Trump) Broke America
8·1 month agoIt shits me to tears seeing Bush’s reputation being rehabilitated. He was and is a fascist. In November 2004 I decided to leave America when I could. Happily living in a more decent society now.
Perhaps you are the wellest of all

Also box/irukandji jellyfish, stonefish, brown snakes, eshays, and ice addicted bogans
Me too. I break out to google with a !g when necessary, which is maybe 1/3 of the time depending on the subject (maps, technical)
Here in Australia the police saying this would get a stern talking to unless they were in NSW
