Boeing strike: bosses bruised, blindsided and on brink of crisis
  • I'm trying to imagine how T**** would try to handle this. First, extort Boeing execs in exchange for help. Then, once the "donations" clear, use all powers and pressures to crush the strike, firing so-called strike leaders (illegal? add it to the pile...), and dump in more police/military for intimidation.

    Bernie and progressives will undoubtedly fully support workers, join the line. Biden can strengthen his "most pro-union president" legacy (it's a low bar, not perfect). Great opportunity for Harris and Walz (but it needs to be very strong or it will only disappoint).

    'Trump was never in danger': Shooting reported near ex-president's Florida golf club
  • A decade after stating they're working on a plan, years after saying it would be unveiled "in two weeks". What a disappointment, that we're forced to take these obvious pathological liars seriously again.

    US Postal Service electric trucks are finally here and drivers love them
  • Thanks! I was actually cleaning up my comment (and fully RTFA) when I saw that AP link in middle there. Actual photos, great to see.

    US Postal Service electric trucks are finally here and drivers love them
  • The first batch is possibly arriving in one city. (Pics or it didn't happen, of course. AP delivers!) Well, that's nice... at least they actually exist?! (That's a bit of a low bar.) But congrats to the first drivers of these little ducks.

    I'm worried it's going to take another decade or three for the trucks to actually arrive in the numbers needed. Hopefully the USPS can survive our deplorable politics until then. They are invaluable for small businesses and keeping all mail couriers competitive.

    Trial begins in alleged ‘Trump Train’ ambush of Biden-Harris bus in 2020
  • Incitement to violence. They didn't just follow the bus, they threatened and ran people off the road at high speeds. I guess that's perfectly fine now in Texas, outside of city limits at least (where small town sheriffs decide which laws to enforce, and who to harass).

    Florida voters who oppose the state's 6-week abortion ban say they are being visited by police
  • The guy supposedly won by like 15 points a few years ago (after barely winning previously). I know it's unbelievable (along with Abbott's fairly big win in Texas while killing people with power outages). But either they're rigging elections (more projection, what a surprise!), or massive numbers of deplorables are flooding the state (and/or sane people are escaping).

    That said, fuck 'em. This kind of pathetic, cruel, lawless behavior will continue escalating until there are real consequences. Wish we had a ruthless DOJ to harass them back at every step.

    In an effort to "not show bias" Trump's sentencing is delayed till after the election.
  • That's a bit of a stretch. A jury adheres closely to the facts, is educated about the relevant subjects, and there are penalties for unreasonable behavior. "Public opinion" does not override anything. It is not okay to break the law just because a cult disagrees or doesn't care. They can vote for change to the laws, but until they are actually changed everyone must follow them.

    In an effort to "not show bias" Trump's sentencing is delayed till after the election.
  • What does public opinion have to do with law? That's not how the justice system works. Convictions mean nothing without sentencing. This only further erodes people's faith in the system. This decision is nothing but cowardice.

    John McCain’s son decries Trump appearance at Arlington as a ‘violation’ that turned cemetery into campaign backdrop
  • I somehow forgot that the military loses the same freedoms and benefits that we all lose under GOP (religious extremists, deranged fascists, etc).

    It's ironic that free/subsidized healthcare and education, basic pillars of society that all Americans should enjoy (like most civilized countries), is instead used as some amazing military benefit. I guess we all just need to join the military! I can't imagine who would even consider joining without these, at least for a generation or two (until forgotten). But as you said, healthcare especially is already being chipped away for many people.

Just kidding, it's Czech owned, they can just ignore his deranged lawsuits. And now the most visited porn site in the world. Republicans are killing American jobs, confirmed.)
