When you draw the line of Liberal v Conservative so far to the right it includes George Bush, it ceases to lose all meaning.

That is all accurate and I don’t disagree with you. But the picture was of an invasion under Bush, not Clinton, so I responded as such.

The problem that I take is l:

Also all American politicians of “both” parties are liberals.

I’m wondering what your definition of Liberal is. Up until like 2020, it was Liberal v Conservative and when I look it up in the dictionary I get “Relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.”

But Liberal on Lemmy appears to be anything to the right of a theoretical Star Trek post scarcity utopia.

Ah yes, the famous liberal, George Bush.

Well Jesus fuck this escalated quickly.

It kind of makes sense in that 15 is the last single digit in hex.

They publish it for notable shootings, not just school shootings.

I can be mad about two things.

Have you considered purple?

The joke here being that Elon is a Nazi who took over Twitter? Not sure really.

Hey exhausted lemming! I get you. I really do. But try and look at it this way. Two years ago I would have said he would never be charged with a crime. A year ago I would have said he’d never see a court room. And yesterday, I was convinced that one MAGA in the jury would be enough to get a hung jury. But here we are. So I’ll be very surprised if Trump sees a single day in jail, but I’ve gone from pessimistic depression to cautious optimism. I hope you get some relief, too.

Probably referencing this court ruling.

20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[b] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”

It doesn’t imply that at all? Please feel free to let me know what this passage is really about.

Amazing.

Defense, Space and Cybersecurity account for 39% of Boeing’s revenue.

soft serve ice cream was partly invented by Maggie Thatcher, much-maligned ice queen of Britiain

This sounded so wild I looked it up.

Unfortunately, “most sources agree that the soft-serve industry arose in the United States, not Britain, and that it preceded Thatcher’s arrival at J. Lyons by about a decade. In 2008, Marian Burros offered a version of the conventional narrative in the Times.”

I mean, China will still exist and is way better Boogeyman.

If you have to have these laws they should specifically target elective abortions. Not the medical procedure in general.

I understand you are just playing devil’s advocate here, but even this is a bad idea. As we’ve seen in Texas, the law isn’t designed for nuance, it is designed to attack women. The Texas law was supposed to have exceptions for health and safety of the woman/fetus, and we saw how that played out. Having a law that specifically targeted elective abortions would have the same problem where the state would undoubtedly put the burden of proof on the woman. “Oh, your baby has no heartbeat? Fill out this form in triplicate, get your doctor to sign it, have it notarized, and your abortion will be approved in 38 - 40 weeks.”

Pendantic, but it was “is is,” not “it is.”

Contending his statement that “there’s nothing going on between us” had been truthful because he had no ongoing relationship with Lewinsky at the time he was questioned, Clinton said, "It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.
