I’m not American. Maybe my opinion also comes from a place of not understanding how government works in the US. But in 2020, Biden won the Presidency and the Democrats had control of the House and the Senate. Yet, they had a harder time of reversing Trump’s policies than he had pushing them through. Let alone not even trying to enact progressive policies.
As an outside observer, maybe that’s why people have lost faith in the Democratic party.
And what are we doing about the others?
Yes but one is treated differently
Right? But we’ve been convinced the Chinese government spying on us through Huawei is a problem.
The BBC reported it was a Taiwanese brand to let a Hungarian company manufacture them on their behalf. The pagers were brought to Lebanon 5 months ago. The Hungarian company has been around since about 2022.
For this to be a supply chain attack, the level of sophistication indicates Israeli intelligence was at this for years, from setting up a shell company, infiltrating manufacturing companies, etc. We don’t know whether the Taiwanese company was compromised as well.
Now this last part is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it makes you wonder what the real reason the US banned Huawei. Could they have been approached as a potential manufacturer and they said no? The timeline certainly works.
Edit: BBC link
Yes. But it’s not like we’re importing humans from other planets.
Is this racism, or are there genuine concerns (they took er jerbs?)
get parents to actually be parents and teach their kids about the pitfalls of social media
Also not possible
What if we elect Trump and he gets rid of safety standards, could we import it then?
Are we going to completely ignore the absolute insanity of arresting someone for cheating on an exam.
I don’t think anyone wants to see that.
Maybe we can get Kushner’s laptop.
You’d get killed on the interstate on one of those,
You guys in Illinois are crazy though. I learned very quickly how much that 55 MPH limit is a guideline and not a hard limit.
Speed restrictions.
Kei trucks were designed for use in dense Japanese cities, which is why they also work in European cities. They are nimble but have a low top speed. You’re not going 70 mph around a street corner for instance.
It would work in places like NYC for the same reasons, but remember that most of the USA is suburban or rural. You need vehicles that are capable of going fast if you’re going to get on a highway.
A possible workaround is to have a separate class for these, like mopeds or scooters, which are road legal but are not highway legal.
I mean the US did their part in bombing civilians over the years. They’re considered the “world police” not because they’re good, but simply because nobody can challenge them.
Think about how much they got away with before the internet made it possible to scrutinize their activities.
Put that into context of governments seeking to restrict access to information: the US ban on TikTok for instance.
Police spokesman Georgian Dragan told local television station Digi24 that the suspect’s motives were personal and not motivated by Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip.
It’s really simple, I think. If you don’t want to be accused of being a war criminal, don’t commit war crimes.
This guy wasn’t allowed to serve in the IDF due to his involvment with groups designated by the Israeli government as terrorists.
As bad as the IDF is, I can’t even imagine how much worse the IDF would be if they let actual terrorists in its ranks.
As a girl, shit.
