Whatever do you mean? It’s only the other side that’s in a cult. You can totally criticize our dear supreme Democrat leader. Even when you back it up with sources.


If jailing a reporter isn’t supressed, what is? It does tell you where the initial inverview is if you wanna find out. Though I don’t know if The Nation is still around. I know Scahill is elsewhere these days(and is doing outstanding reporting btw) and again, not the first time Obama administration jailed a journalist. There’s even a term coined for it if you wanna know the details, War on Whistleblowers.


https://www.aljazeera.com/video/inside-story-america/2013/6/6/obama-and-the-case-of-a-yemeni-journalist Looks like I was off, it wasn’t a wedding. That was a different incident in Yemen where Obama drone striked a bunch of civilians. But there’s a link with some info on what I was thinking of. Don’t remember where exactly I first got it from, good chance it’s from Jeremy Scahill from The Nation magazine, which that link mentions.


Like that time there was a drone strike on Yemen(a wedding, I believe) under Obama, and a journalist from there exposed that the bomb that was used was from USA, so Obama had the Yemen government throw that journalist in jail over it. At least nobody was cool with it, cause it wasn’t reported much in US press, cause Obama had a war on whistleblowers at the time.


Maybe get back to us when the third one strikes, what we believed was an ally.


Don’t you worry your pretty little brain. The superdelegates will make the right choice for you.


I’m just chillin’ in Cedar Rapids


Well, under those circumstances, they would be paying less if they bought power in bulk :/ But again, I explained why not. By that logic, phone companies can decide who owns a phone line, power companies decide who gets electricity, water companies decide who gets water, banks decide who gets money, etc.


I’d have to get back to you on that one when I feel like looking up the specifics. But it is in relation to a real example, or at least why people assume he changed his mind on something. Think the IRS threatened his wife over something, unless Bernie changed his mind(votes or words). Maybe someone can chima in to what it was that remembers the specifics :/


Ya, but they said it shouldn’t be that way. That data centers should get special treatment. In theory, I see why they’d think that way. But in practice, it’s a terrible choice. I just gave comparable examples.


It’s to get people like you to be genocide apologists. “Well, Hamas burned down the Reichstag building. What was Israel supposed to do?” To make people sympathetic. Unless Bernie comes out and condemns the IDF for the Hannibal Directive(which will at the very least cause his wife, and love of his life, to be imprisoned), nothing will come of it.


Because that would give power companies to control who gets electricity and who doesn’t. Just like how banks shouldn’t be allowed to dictate who was money, and grocery stores shouldn’t charge you by how much money you have, and the can’t increase prices during an emergency.


Ugh, you’re gonna make us compete for it like it’s a capitalist system? I guess it’s better than getting Hannibal Directed on Oct 7th for some concert tickets.


And are Nazis for carrying out the Hannibal Directive and falling for that Reichstag fire bullshit themselves.


Just in time for the planet to rock.


Success isn’t earned, it’s given. He wouldn’t be a billionaire if he didn’t have information like that on him that he can be blackmailed over if he ever goes against his AI overlords.


Not taking money from AIPAC is not enough. They will just create shell PACs with random names like Chicago Women in Congress or whatever. What’s needed is to elect the politicians who talk about the Hannibal Directive. Though not even Bernie will clear that bar.


Yeah, I agree with you on everything. My only point is that I constantly hear people like Tucker Carlson and MTG and people like them, will blatantly call out whatever Trump is doing, without ever mentioning his name. Because they know Trump has a massive cult like rabid following that will eat you, and your family alive and shit you out in a pool of rotten blood if you go against him. And you did the same thing about Democrats. Named like 4 Republicans that are obviously a problem, but only referenced the Democrat that is also a problem, without mentioning his name…because you know he has a cult like following. Even in left leaning, communist circles like lemmy.
FWIW this was the one I had it mixed up with https://www.hrw.org/report/2014/02/19/wedding-became-funeral/us-drone-attack-marriage-procession-yemen
