Oops! Well, people post old articles here all the time, so I guess it’s no big deal.

I’ve noticed at least one popular news community on Lemmy where this seems to be happening all the time.

I’m not sure why I’ve been subscribed to this community for this long.

A rise? Hmmm.

Sorry, what do you mean?

Here goes Yogthos posting old articles again.

That’s a really good point which I hadn’t considered.

Still, I’d call Israel her first political test. That was in the news for the past few days.

How is this her first political test? Has she not been VP for the past 3.5 years?

That’s neat. And pointy letters even moreso.

💯%

oh ok sorry

It’s a travesty, but after a cease fire is drafted and world news starts covering something else, we’re still stuck with whoever is president. I’ve never voted based on one single issue. There’s lots of stuff to consider.

So much better than the other guy, though. Writing in a candidate will be fun for some people, but I’m choosing to vote for someone who 1) can win and 2) won’t strip away freedoms in the name of religion.

Ben Shapiro is still around?

I don’t like seeing miltary spending increase, but the social/economic funding is just because there was a spike for the pandemic, right? I wouldn’t call it a fare comparison.

I really hate to quote Roberts, but circumventing congress wouldn’t be “within his “conclusive and preclusive” constitutional authority”, would it?

No, they’re saying if it was an official duty, he’s immune. If he did something unofficial (as decided by lower courts), he’s not immune. I don’t know many details off the top of my head, but for example tweeting to the Proud Boys, could be considered unofficial. Or whatever. I’m not a law person.

He can still be prosecuted etc., but it’s going to take time for lower courts to figure out how to handle it.

Call me silly, but isn’t this sort of good? I think they’re trying to say “you’re immune if you do stuff that presidents do, like be in charge of war, torture, etc, but if you’re a normal criminal, you’re still a criminal”.

Oops, thanks for the correction. I knew that.

They’ve had problems with the 787 since it entered production… this is just to appease folks.

First the batteries caught fire all the time, then airlines complained about finding metal shavings everywhere. Qatar even stopped accepting deliveries from the Charleston, SC plant.

This article talks about it a bit. It’s kind of sad, actually, because there’s a picture of one of the deceased whistleblowers, John Barnett. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/20/business/boeing-dreamliner-production-problems.html
