The exact same thing, I'm not defending them. I was just pointing out that the couple that got a beating were not there with clean hands. I would say the same thing if the roles were reversed...ie...Proud Boys show up at an Antifa event and someone affiliated with PB gets their shit pushed in. If you join a bunch of assholes to go off and do asshole things, chances are you're probably an asshole too.
I actually think we have the worst of both worlds: a TON of laws and regulations, selectively applied, but almost none of them contributing to a social safety net.
At work we have a $2500 deductible with $6000 out of pocket max. We're pretty small so I would assume others may have even better insurance.
Fidel Castro saved the Cuban people from American Empire and slavery, brought literacy to over 98% of the population very rapidly, excellent medical care available to everyone at the point of service (this is in the face of US embargoes), and repelled constant attacks from those who would take that from them. Hugo Chavez's greatest crime was that he didn't diversify the country's economy away from oil, leaving it vulnerable to market conditions that were controlled by larger, more powerful collectives. As for the gap between them and Biden, it couldn't be more wide. Joe Biden is a millimeter away from Trump, and the democratic party has already negotiated, with themselves, the one thing they planned on "giving" people in the form of student debt relief down from $50,000 to $10,000. Maybe. If you can jump through enough hoops.
Rebuttal: Human Rights Watch The Guardian The Washington Post Amnesty International Rebuttal: Human Rights Watch The Guardian Foreign Policy Caracas Chronicles The US has its issues, but to celebrate either of these men's repressive regimes is ludicrous. What's next, Idi Amin was misunderstood?
You can't make this stuff up: San Francisco is renaming Abraham Lincoln High School because he didn't show that black lives mattered to him and he wasn't nice to Natives. No one is going to survive this looking at the past through 2020 optics.
It must be exhausting getting angry about something that is in the process of being put forward to a vote.
The planet is the movie Team America World Police and America is the dick dealing with a world full of assholes and pussies. Don't let your never-ending hyperbole interfere with actual quantifiable facts.
So I'm sure that y'all have heard about the cyber-attack on the US Government yesterday; they're not saying it was Russia... But it was Russia. So I've got a question for all you smart people: it seems like every month I hear about some cyber attack on some US agency by either Russia, China, or Israel. Are we doing the same thing to them? Are we just good enough to not get caught, or are we just always the victims?
Oh we definitely do that shit too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet I fully expect the Biden Administration to authorize some of our fuckery in response to this.
Oh. It’s HUGE. And it’s not just government shit. They have a list of their Fortune 500 clients on their website (SolarWinds), and they ALL have had a back door in their internal networks since March. That includes big pharm and nuclear power plants.
And this was an inside job. Someone inside their development system added some significant code, had it pass change management and security reviews, get built into the product, “signed” as being legit and “trusted SolarWinds code”, and then pushed out to their customers.
