Sgt. William Carney, a member of the 54th Massachusetts Colored Infantry Regiment, was the first Black American to earn the Medal of Honor.
Denzel Washington reenacted the heroics of Sgt. William Carney in the movie “Glory.” The Pentagon removed a story about him for DEI reasons.
Would love to hear what Denzel Washington would say about this.
Allot of ‘mistakes’ are being made lately.
From the article …
A Yale source said the US state department deleted the evidence which would have been used as part of rescue efforts to get the children home to Ukraine. It would also have been used to prosecute those behind their abductions – including Russian president Vladimir Putin.
”It is unclear whether it was by accident or intent, but it may reveal or it may cause potential criminal liability for the Trump administration, given international prohibitions against the destruction of war crimes evidence,” the Yale insider told The Independent.
Hearing Trump talk about how the car has ‘computer’ (during the news conference) made me think back to a news event with George H.W. Bush in a supermarket, seeing a grocery barcode scanner for the first time.
Same kind of inquisitive and excited response from both of them.
Anyone can register a Google voice number with a Maine area code.
They can detect that though, in the same way that Discord does.
Having said that, still might be worth giving the feedback, even if it doesn’t affect him directly. A “read the room” type of thing.
They’ll just cut it for anybody under 60 or whatever, and their base will cheer them on.
Not if they have been paying into it. At least not unless they get a refund for what they paid into it.
Yep. I know its a rule (that is being ignored), but it isn’t actually a law?
Wonder why we bother with rules, if nobody is ever going to enforce them, especially when we vote into office those who don’t care to follow them.
and sought a direct secure line to the Oval Office, bypassing the attorney general.
FBI directors since J. Edgar Hoover have maintained independence from the White House, but Patel is closely aligned with Trump.
Congress should really codify that into law, instead of it just being a “Gentleman’s/society Agreement”.
I also don’t know, but get really suspicious if Alito needs to invent a “new term” to frame the case with
Yeah, there’s definitely a " ‘WTF?’ Factor" going on with that.
I can’t wait to hear what the Legal Eagle on YouTube says about that.
ruled that the EPA must impose specific pollutant limits instead of broad, “end result” requirements.
Any scientists out there who can talk to the specifics of this?
To a layman like me, this seems like six and a half of one, a half a dozen of another.
Is asking for specificity a bad thing, scientifically and environmentally speaking?
Protesting is always good. It gives voice to those who don’t have access to media to show their displeasure, and shows other like-minded people that they are not alone.
Well if the pressure is left off they’re go back into ‘Golum’ mode, clutching their precious ring (job/money/power).
But if Trump accidentally or otherwise tries to take their ring away from them, things will change.
No, there really aren’t. Every single one has been systematically dismantled already.
Hard disagree. We’re way far away from that being true.
Because the only safeguard I’m aware of is impeachment and removal, which requires both chambers of Congress to act against Trump and I just don’t believe that’s going to happen while Republicans control both chambers and impeachment certainly isn’t going to “kick in” as if it’s some automatic process.
I believe you’re incorrect, I believe Congress at some point will act, and that’s what I was speaking of. Even a Republican lead one.
You’re seeing some split by Republicans, objecting to how Zelensky was treated yesterday at the White House, and up to now you hadn’t seen any division whatsoever.
At some point they’ll act, if it got to that point.
So I’m genuinely curious about what’s got you so optimistic
Oh I’m definately not optimistic, it’s going to be a long three years and tenish months, that’s for sure.
I’m just not hyperbolic about it.
and we shouldn’t allow this presidency to continue.
There are legal safeguards for that built-in.
If you’re not just being hyperbolic (or astroturfing for anarchy), and there is some truth to what you’re saying, at some point those safe guards will kick in.
And just because they haven’t kicked in yet doesn’t mean they won’t kick in later.
From the article…
Previous American presidents have had plenty of tense exchanges with allies, but often in private and never like this.
What made this one different was not just that it unfolded with cameras rolling, but that it featured an American president siding with an autocratic and longtime adversary, Russia, against a nascent democracy that has struggled for years to break away from Moscow’s orbit and join the NATO alliance of Western democracies.
‘Fuck’ count: 7
(Sorry, couldn’t resist. 😋 😇 I get your anger though; agree.)
