9·4 hours agoWell, I didn’t think he cared much about optics, either. I expected him to court martial the guy.

71·1 day agoAlso, keeping the campaign staff in the office, paying lawyers to prepare legal challenges … that all costs money, pretty significant money.
If you can see the writing on the wall, it may be better to cut your losses and focus on the next campaign instead.

politics @lemmy.world•Jeffries dragged for 'serious leadership problem' as Hegseth impeachment bid falls 7 votes short with 11 Dem no-shows
7·1 day agoJust refusing to give that soundbite seems like politics 101.
How hard is it to say, “It’s still under consideration” or something?

11·1 day agobut saying it like that is just a fuck you to at least a third of the Democratic voters (actually, probably more like 2/3 for M4A)
And I bet the percentage of Democratic voters who’d disagree about impeachment of Trump being a priority is north of 90%.
Whether it’s actually feasible without a supermajority … who knows. Probably not. But not being willing to call it a priority is also a big ‘fuck you’ to the vast majority of Democratic voters.

Especially since a lot of websites forbid it in their TOS, but AI companies just do it anyway.

They’ll just move their training tasks to foreign contractors/subsidiary companies.

politics @lemmy.world•Hegseth says bipartisan impeachment push is about ‘policy disagreements,’ not high crimes
5·3 days agoHe’s being impeached because the Iran war made Republicans look bad and he’s the fall guy.
I suspect it’s being started by a Republican precisely because of this. They want Kegsbreath to be the fall guy, take his impeachment, and leave the rest of the corrupt administration intact. They want the public to be tired of investigations and impeachments by the time any actually important names come up.

Not doubting your experience. Just hoping more people will start using noscript.
A brilliant spy technique.
