World's biggest polluter is in the US, study finds

Reply in thread

No they aren’t. Exemptions can be granted for small cutouts, but they are still held to federal regulations. A cup of fuel on the ground or any more than a drop of oil in the water triggers a mandatory reporting that the CO can be held personally liable for. Shit, they were breaking down office chairs with multiple dissimilar material components to recycle each material correctly. I’m sure there are multiple places that are getting away with not following requirements, but they are required to still follow federal laws regarding pollution and waste disposal.

Every Democrat Who Voted to Defund Schools That Boycott Israel

And vote for whom? Republicans LOVE third party candidates because they tend to take more votes from democratic candidates. Run as an independent that is against the state of Israel and AIPAC will come in and fire over 30mil to your opponent and likely end your campaign in most states.

We do see more people running as or adjacent to the DSA so we will see how it turns out.

Trump’s latest 'manic' binge evidence of 'neurological decline': psychologist

Reply in thread

The vice president has to invoke the 25th amendment and then needs a majority of the cabinet. The president can fight it and then it takes a supermajority in both houses to not get kicked out.

So not going to happen. There was speculation for a bit if the reason for a Trump/Vance ticket (to everyone but Trump) was that the campaign and superpacs were betting on a 25th and Vance taking over.

Food served to US service men & women.

No. There are culinary specialists that think instead of going down to storerooms to get another thing of tomato sauce for spaghetti, they can just cut what is left with ketchup as it needs replenishing. They are buddy fuckers and some of the laziest, most corrupt(?)(eg, you had to know someone, or be a woman, to get good food that wasn’t on the serving line) people I met in the service.

House adopts resolution condemning socialism, with 8 Democrats joining Republicans

Reply in thread

While true that the word is scary, the title is what they are. It’s just most people will think Democratic (associated with the democrats) Socialists rather than “Democratic Socialists”, all one term, that is not relating them to the major party that is most close but instead describing, “we would like light socialist policies that people vote for still”.
